A hundred years ago the Scottish missionary James Stewart founded the Fort Hare University in Alice in the Eastern Cape for blacks...two years before the University of Stellenbosch was founded in 1918.
From the start it was aimed to educate and uplift blacks. Many prominent black leaders studied there including five heads of state, Nelson Mandela, Robert Mugabe, Julius Nyerere, Kenneth Kaunda, and Seretse Khama, first president of Botswana. Other famous alumni are Josua Nkomo, Desmond Tutu, Mongosuthu Buthelezi, Robert Sobukwe, Chris Hani and Oliver Tambo.
In short it can be seen that the University of Fort Hare has always been a nest of Marxist black vipers, but what it proves is that it is a myth that whites barred blacks from learning institutions or prescribed what they should learn.
Nevertheless, the university on Friday 20th of May held its centenary celebrations and Mugabe and the illiterate idiot Zuma gave some speeches.
Fort Hare celebrates centenary despite protests
Said the Great Mugabe… “Fort Hare has for the past 100 years been the center of anti-colonial and anti-apartheid regimes. I was politically born and formed my African identity at this iconic institution.”
Added Zuma: “The University was an example of “Black Excellence”.
Then after a session of reciprocating ego masturbation and pats on the back, these old terrorists started singing so called “Struggle Songs” like “Kill the Boer; Kill the Farmer”, “Bring me my Machine gun”, “Go well uMkhonto we Siswe as you kill the whites”...etc.
Unfortunately nobody watched the food...
As Zuma, VIPs sing struggle songs, Fort Hare students swipe their food
“I am stressed‚” said a Fort Hare staff member who didn’t want to be named. “I don't know what these people are going to eat.
The students also destroyed a services provider's property worth R6-million. “I have lost so much money on this thing‚” the person said. Public order police had to stop angry students from entering the university’s main hall. Shouting “Fuck off Zuma, fuck off Mugabe”… Singing "Asinamali" (we don't have money) and holding placards reading "Centenary my ass".
Voetsek Mugabe, Voetsek Zuma – Fort Hare students try to force way into main hall
Yes…what a demonstration of “Black Excellence”.
So what has this prestigious University of Fort Hare actually accomplished over the past 100 years except producing a string of Marxist terrorists and psychopathic dictators who took their countries to hell and ruin?
Considering that...the question to ask is, “Should Fort Hare have been built at all?”
