In 1970, a Mexican-American musician named Sixto Rodriguez released an album in Detroit, USA that critics described as genius. It sold approximately six copies in his home country. His record label dropped him. He went back to work in construction and demolition, swinging a sledgehammer in the streets of Detroit for the next two decades. Somewhere across the ocean, a single copy of that album found its way into South Africa. Nobody knows exactly how. The most repeated story is that an American girl brought it over during a visit. Her friends copied it. Their friends copied it. Under the apartheid regime that ruled South Africa at the time, the country was almost entirely cut off from the outside world. No internet. Severe media censorship. International cultural boycotts. Music from other countries circulated almost entirely through bootleg copies passed hand to hand. Rodriguez's music spread through an entire generation of young South Africans that way. His anti-establishment lyrics became a quiet soundtrack to those who opposed apartheid. By the 1980s he was considered as significant as the Beatles and Bob Dylan. Half a million copies of his album are estimated to have been sold or copied across the country. Nobody knew anything about him. Rumours spread that he had died on stage. The most common version said he had set himself on fire in front of an audience. In the late 1990s, two fans in Cape Town, South Africa decided to find out if any of it was true. They searched the early internet. They followed a chain of contacts. They eventually found him. Sixto Rodriguez was alive. He was in Detroit. He had no telephone, no computer, and no idea that millions of people on the other side of the world knew every word of his songs. He was fifty-six years old. He flew to South Africa and played six sold-out concerts to crowds who had believed for twenty years that he was dead. When he walked on stage for the first time he said: "I'd like to thank you for keeping me alive." He passed away in August 2023. He was eighty years old.

Basotho medical data was sold for 364 Million dollars. They have been stripped naked by a foreign country. This was signed without parliamentary debate or approval. A huge chunk of this money to be paid to foreign institutions for “technical assistance”. This MOU is centered around sharing medical data and biological specimens with this foreign country according to the Council of NGOs. Biological specimens are the likes of Blood, saliva, tissue biopsies, organs in some cases etc. Lesotho Council Of NGOs is demanding for full disclosure of the MOU so that the public can know what the MOU entails. As of now Basotho don’t know what they have been signed into. They will wipe out our population slowly... will their so called healthcare... only a fool put the healthcare of the whole nation in the hands of foreigners 🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸

After you've spent years stealing whole budgets that would have repaired roads and hoarding it, your brood tell you they don't wanna return to this potholes city. Now the 8bedroom mansion has remained your own solitary kind of prison. Car Ma!

@newvisionwire Someone decided the timing was wrong, either because it elevated the wrong family project or because it created a propaganda vulnerability the regime could not defend right now. The question worth watching is whether it gets rescheduled or quietly buried.

There is an abundance of oil. There is an abundance of coal. There is an abundance of gas. There is an abundance of food. There is an abundance of water. Scarcity is being fabricated by psychopaths.

@CKyobutungi Huge dilemma! The disconnect is tangible. You dont expect them to arrive on Heathrow Express to fly and land in Entebbe to be stuck in jam at Busega for two hours just to go to Kazo / Bukomansimbi to look at "their herds." This aint their thing. They are in international markets.

If you take comments about Uganda joining the war on Israel's side at face value then it's on you. This is a 3D chess move in the era of mass engagement. It's more impactful than taking photo ops outside the Capitol building. It has little to do with Iran and Israel
