Forwarded Emails

If you're anything like me you probably hate forwarded emails, I mean they're not real nor original. Sometimes they make sense though; just like this one I have posted below. Someone sent it to me; I read it (it's bit long but), however it leaves room for thought.

YOU ARE A SLAVE............

"Why do we laugh at a black man/black people who are struggling to speak/write English and not laugh at (white man) speaking appalling Xhosa/Zulu/Sotho /Tsonga " We all have done this, thought that boxers/soccer players are idiots(Nomvete, Vuyani Bungu) because they cannot speak good English. Ever thought about De Klerk who does not know a single Xhosa word, He cannot even pronounce your name to start with.

In the office they pronounce your name wrongly and you just smile. You are impressed when Mrs van Wyk is trying to speak Xhosa/Zulu. In 15 yrs she managed to learn Molo/Sawubona only...and you are impressed by that sick crap.Why does it never occur to you that Mrs Van Wyk is an idiot, a certified moron...who is not capable of learning one single African language"

What is compelling me to be writing this email in English not in Xhosa??????? ?

I know all the recipients are either Xhosa , Zulu , Tsonga , Venda or Sotho; therefore they will be able to read and understand this email. Having realised that I still continue writing in English. My excuse "I am faster when I write in English (Crap!) I was not born speaking English. Listen to your voice mail. It is in English and how many whites call you compared to the blacks????. Why do you have to cater for the 10%. You do not even have a white friend yet your everything is in English. That is pathetic.

If I told you that I had a degree in Xhosa/Sotho you would all laugh for you do not see why someone in his right mind would want to a degree in Xhosa/Sotho.Yet French classes are over flowing...My sister cannot even write isiXhosa/Sotho she detaste the language and know one should be learning isiXhosa/Sotho.

Afrikaans are preserving Stellenbosch, RAU, Tuks ( Pretoria ) and all the varsities in the Transvaal region....What are we preserving Unitra will be closed...UniVenda may follow suit ..Uni Zulu maybe on the pipe line (But we have Fort hare).. Afrikaans (7% of the SA population) have 5 universities that they control. Little bit on maths; there should be 64 black varsities to level the grounds. That would be a waste I agree but this serve the purpose...

Nokia recently introduced a phone with menus in Xhosa/Zulu/Sotho...we think that "it for people who cannot read English", Amaqaba. When you phone vodacom service centre you always press 1 (to be helped in English press 1, Zulu press 2 (Xhosa), Sotho press 3, Afrikaans 4). Why is it that you'd rather stammer than speak your own language.

We are all slaves ..Our minds have been crippled and we will never be free until we free ourselves... "Emancipate your selves from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our minds"
