My Dear Beloved Readers
Please receive this letter from me the writer and author, Matsime Simon Mohapi. This is the beginning of a relationship that shall eventually take us to a South Africa of NO legalised injustice, dispossessed possessions, and poverty.
God is on our side because God is a God of justice. We must pray without ceasing for God’s wisdom, guidance, courage, and fearless hearts to carry forward His will on earth. Apart from only praying: May His will happen on earth as it is in heaven
, we must now stand up and work to actualise His will to happen on earth as it is in heaven. In totality we must now become God’s servants and soldiers so that His will happens on earth as it is in heaven.
Inspired by the works of Jesus of Nazareth—the son of Joseph and Mary, I believe he is the greatest son of Africa and also a freedom fighter; he inspired me to write and publish two books. Remember that Jesus Christ fought for freedom from hunger, poverty, sickness, sin, hatred, revenge, xenophobia, killings (police killings, farm killings, killing of foreigners, and killing and attacking of our Councillors and communal property must STOP!). Jesus Christ is our man! Remember he even instructed the rich to share their riches and give to the poor!
Inspired by the works of great sons and daughters of Africa; inspired by the never dying spirit of those who have passed on to life after life; and inspired by the fighting spirit of those who live on—Rev. J.L. Dube (1st ANC President), Sol Plaatje (1st ANC General Secretary), T.H. Mobutha, Councillor Qamata, Z.R. Mahabane, R.H. Godlo, Anton Lembede, Oliver Tambo, Nelson Mandela, Gavan Mbeki, Walter Sisulu, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Steve Biko, Mapetla Mohapi, Malusi Mpumlwana, Chris Hani, Phillip Kgosana, Joe Seremane, Haile Sellasie, Pixley ka Seme, Joe Slovo, Robert Sobukwe, Kenneth Kaunda, Allan Boesak, Frikkie Conradie, Mohandas Gandhi, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Helen Joseph, Helen Suzman, Winnie Mandela, MmaSisulu (Albertina), Moses Kotane,
