Summary of the Afrika Mayibuye Consultation Process

South Africa burns with the scars of a brutal past, where the shadow of white colonial oppression still looms over a Black majority whose labor props up the nation’s economy. Yet, the dazzling wealth and splendor of this country flows endlessly to a privileged white elite, while Black communities are gripped by poverty, crime, and despair.

The contrast is heart-wrenching: opulent estates bask in endless wealth, while millions languish in squalor, their dreams suffocated by systemic injustice. This injustice has ignited a fire in the hearts of the disenfranchised. Over 10 million have turned their backs on elections, their trust shattered by political parties that seem to feed only the greed of their leaders, what is left in their hearts is anger and disappointment. Tension is in the air: the country teeters on the edge of a volcano, ready to erupt. People’s anger is a rising tide, their yearning for change a thunderous call that cannot be ignored. This is not a quiet hope for gradual reform; it is a blazing demand for revolution, born from the refusal to accept a world that dehumanizes and discards them. The Afrika Mayibuye Consultation process is a beacon of hope amid this storm.

It is a passionate call to action, inviting every South African, rich and poor, young and old, to pour their dreams, their pain, and their vision into shaping a revolutionary alternative:

• What should be its ideological character?

• What form must be its organizational form be?

• What it should stand for?

• Should it engage with the elections or forge another path?

Thousands of courageous pioneers will carry this flame across the nation, listening to the heartbeat of the people, weaving their voices into a tapestry of solutions to take South Africa where it is to a better world.
