Pedi Quotes

“Most of our history, and most of all books on the origin of the Bapedi people, the political structure of the  Bapedi people of Sekhukhuneland, and African studies in general were written by settlers.

The settlers gathered information not for the benefit of black people but for the white South African government to enable their government to come up with political and military strategies against black people or for social engineering of black nation in general.

So, given the politicized and racial environment in which all this white writers lived, how are we going to trust that their whiteness and institutional racism did not affected how they made sense of the information or data that they collected and how they recorded them, in order to fix tribes, clans, and black nation in general.”
