WE AFRICANS MAY NEVER PROSPER FOR AS LONG AS WE LIVE IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE CHEAP LABOUR AND A CUSTOMER BASE FOR EUROPEANS The more I think about Pan Africanism, the State of Africa, and the prospects of its people, the more I wonder about some of the colonial programmes that African puppet governments simply continued with post-independence. For example, most of our townships were designed to be concentration camps that would force us into a cheap labour reservoir for Europeans. But not only that, they ensure we were dispossed of land, or could not use our own land that we still had. Even more, these concentration camps became a huge customer base for the same Europeans for whom we worked as they build their malls there. In a manner of speaking, they reaped us off twice: first as cheap labour, and secondly, as reliable customers for their products, right from the supermarket to the farm. It therefore may well be said that Africans and African governments need to rethink the settlement patterns of Africans. Instead of more cities, we need more roads and high speed rail so that Africans can live and work in their communities, instead of the few highways that were built for extractive purposes and run straight from the mines directly to the seaports. Let cottage industries and industrial parks be set up all over including the small towns and villages. This will ensure a total solution to the challenges of homelessness in the cities as there is more land for Africans to live in, build and even engage in small scale farming for their basic needs. One of the biggest tragedies played on us is the idea that "land has value, and for it to have value, that land has to be located next to European settlements". Our land ought to have value deep in our African settlements, and that way we won't even be beholden to banks' housing schemes through 20 or 30 year bonds. As more and more Africans build in their rural villages, let us disabuse ourselves of this notion that "that is not an investment". We do not build our homes primarily to sell, we build homes to live in with our families and leave them as a heritage to our children when we leave this world. African governments need to think beyond the Native Commissioners' ideas and accept African culture instead of always seeking to make everything look European. For example, what is the point of building skyscrapers in Africa as if we always have a shortage of housing land (except that such situations are artificially created through these cities?) The Africa of tomorrow must embrace the traditional African settlements and bring services directly to where Africans live, than drive Africans further into concentration camps, which comes with so many ills, everything from crime to drugs. And last, key point: Africans developing in their own communities means that they will provide labour to one another, be customers for one another's businesses, retain critical skills in the communities, advance community development, and ultimately, ensure the establishment of an African Economy owned by Africans! It is perhaps a tragedy of our time that places such as this in Venda, Bulilima-Mangwe, parts of KZN, etc. are leading the way, but it seems that governments aren't paying enough attention. We still need to decolonise African Governments!

Isiolo Court Rules Against NRT Conservancies in Landmark Carbon Credits Case A court in Isiolo on Monday declared the Northern Rangelands Trust’s (NRT) "Community Conservancies" illegal, ruling that their operations violated constitutional rights and exploited local communities under the guise of conservation. The judgment found that NRT’s activities restricted access to grazing land and water points, depriving communities in Chari Ward, Cherab Ward, and Merti Sub-County of vital resources for their pastoral livelihoods. The court cited Articles 40 and 63 of the Constitution, affirming that the affected land belongs to the community and cannot be managed without their consent. The ruling comes weeks after a recent Deutsche Welle documentary that exposed NRT’s controversial carbon offsetting project. The project has been criticized for failing to provide any meaningful benefits to the communities while undermining their land rights and way of life. The documentary claims that there is no credible evidence of the project’s positive environmental impact, calling it “blood carbon.” Activists have been campaigning against NRT, alleging that the organization limits grazing areas for pastoralists and employs rangers accused of human rights violations. Some reports suggest that locals have been forced off their lands, attacked and even killed in the name of conservation. Despite these allegations, NRT continues to secure funding from major international donors like the European Commission, AFD France, and USAID. It also sells carbon credits to corporations such as Meta and Netflix, allowing them to greenwash their public image. Critics argue that the model enriches conservation organizations while marginalizing Indigenous communities and compromising their livelihoods. The Isiolo court maintained that NRT’s operations ignored constitutional and statutory land ownership laws while failing to recognize the cultural and economic significance of the land to local residents. It directed NRT to comply with community land ownership rights, granting them 14 days to appeal the decision. Community members have welcomed the ruling as a historic step toward protecting their ancestral lands and livelihoods.
