Penuel The Black Pen | In Conversation Rutendo Matinyarare, Pan Africanism, Colonialism, Slavery 

they totally hid the truth from us

Fact bro. Very informative

😂😂😂😂

Why don’t you do your own research and see if that is what you will find? Rutendo has combined facts with fiction and because he talks non-stop you think that all that he stated was factual. The African history, particularly the South African one is public knowledge. I appeal to you guys to double check what is spread on social media, do not be confused by the langauge of struggle and pro-Africanism and then conclude that all that you were given was facts

@@mthokozisilanga4497Sit down

We were taught European history which is now useless, hence we have no direction because we do not know who we are.

me too

You can’t expect liberation from your oppressor

@@wendymapholo7313 exactly

@@tonshbenosh2275 true

Not what mandela said education is the most powerful what what that can change the world. He fooled us

😂😂😂

Ya Bjatladi we hear you.

Try Amos Wekesa from uganda

Education is power 🔋 💪 my friend

🤣🤣🤣. You are a legend

I loved this.

This is actually taught in South African schools, just not in great detail

Very true i don't wanna learn about William Shakespeare what is he going to do for me in the future or even now

I learned about Mapungubwe from my high school syllabus. History is a "boring" subject and never really chosen by many. Again we can't blame the white man today whereas we have access to so much knowledge on our phones.

@@kagi2784 People who never actually did History in school usually have the loudest mouths when it comes to the topic of what sort of History is taught in schools. I'm a History teacher, and I know the South African History syllabus like the back of my hand. I know what is taught, what isn't taught and what should be taught. Most of what Rutendo spoke about in his conversation regarding Southern African history is grade 10 history.

I guess you condone African corruption too

Let me just say Zimbabwe birthed great thinkers.When I read the book Going places in the spirit by J Maponga I got South History.My history as a Xhosa now Rutendo is schooling us about our history too.We need a part 2

This guy is a liar guys yoh lol 😆 the is no embargo on Zimbabwe ,people are leaving Zim because of mismanagement

How do you explain Zanu pf officials buy Lamborghini's flashing cash etc.. he is talking rubbish Zim hospitals are messed up because of these greedy politicians ....how do you explain ministers in Zim owning 5 to 10 farms how do you explain that ministers controlling the diamonds in Zim the money doesn't go to the countries coffers

Also Rich in Lies lol 😆 😂

@@anamsomdaka4019 We are just overrated academically us Zimbabweans.Anyone can access the knowledge he claims to have which some of it is utter rubbish.

Thats my conclusion too as a man from Botswana

@@afropoet Zimbabweans have reached a place where most black south africans are terrified to be at...being content of living without the white man validation..

Arrived at similar conclusion independently as a zambian, which tells me we are waking up.😊

Zimbabwean hate him he peddle sanction propaganda an excuse for zimabwe failing and zanu oppresion he can go to hell you can have him SA's

The sound or the name haha

Thank you so much for doing this Pen ,it shows that you really care about us ..I honestly had stopped watching it cause I couldn’t,but I’m back again now I’m watching the whole show ..big ups ..

Thought u removed it

@@sahngcobo We were fixing the sound.

Hi Black Pen.Are you able to bring @JethroMpofu to get a different perspective on the Zimbabwe issue from a non Zanu aligned perspective. Send your email if there is more information required.

The dude is very educated and smart but, I feel like his statements are very controversial. No wonder he got censored by social networks.

@@professor_mnwanati Your point being?

When he analyze the Rwandan Genocide He's knowledgeable

It's a MUST!❤️🖤💚✊🏿💯

💯

💯

Not only reading books, also observing nature, living in your Identity and culture.

Not just SADC, but throughout Africa.

In fact there is need to write a history of liberation in Southern africa

One of the best comments

Desperately my sister...his library is 👌

Me too.

You must read Land Wars: The Dispossession of the Khoisan and AmaXhosa in thr Cape Colony written by John Laband. Such a factually depth book. Very insightful. It really shows how epic the Khoisan were. One cool thing I learnt is that the San used to defeat the colonisers by mounting their oxen and stampeding towards them. Since oxen are hardy animals, this was devestating and it was a brilliant strategy. The khoikhoin and the San were far from the primitives that our schooling system teaches us.

Rutendo is superb!! African pan Africanists shouldn't undertake the Museveni-Kagame lightly. They are a serious danger to the African continent; who chose to be the stooges and agents of European new African colonialists. They must be stopped at all costs. If not attended and stopped then Africa is massaging a serious danger with a potential to wipe out what's being achieved around the continent. Africa must dictatorships and any form of new Colonialism.

I support it.

Thats the problem, people defend illegal immigration if it does not affect them and South Africa is told to tolerate it.

@whatever stay mad they were preventing them from going to SA, those guys were just passing by lol

fact 🇿🇼

They should we need each other. Just wish Zimbabwe would take the Rand as their currency.

Yes. He needs his own podcast.

🤝

Feel the same man!

Which books holds such knowledge

The Great Voyages of Zheng Ho, The Treasure Fleet of the Dragon Throne. I'd suggest. Basically material on Zheng Ho will give you some perspective, he was an explorer. The SADF and Cuito Cuanavale will give you an idea on the border wars. Also follow transcripts and books related to the Swahili burial sites they are broad though. Mapungubwe books and research transcripts are also great teachings of how trade was happening and definitely worth a visit, there are amazing stories of the place. I really owe myself that trip. Hope that can help a bit.

I'm interested in Mbeki Speech you referred to. Where can I get it

@@kagi2784 africans and chinese used to travel and commerce with each pther. The way africans went to Asia, thr same way Chinese came to africa. There is a youtube video of proof that they also came to east african shores. Thry left chinese plates, beads and their descrndanta are still there. Just like african went to the Americas before Christopher Columbus

Document that information please for us and our dependants. That is quite an interesting story.

Not true. Rutendo did not learn this history from the school curriculum. There is no difference between our curriculum and yours in Zimbabwe. They are all still colonial. The liberation movements did nothing to decolonise the history. Don't lie to us and make us feel inadequate. I have interacted and studied with many Zimbabweans abroad.

@@seripa15 for school to be accredited they have to follow the euro / west syllabus ie the lie of white fake premacy.

True

@@seripa15 This Chief dude has no shame; a blatant lie.

@@seripa15 well given you were not educated in Zim, how can we believe you. We are talking what we went through. I will explain the history syllabus when I was still in school (2006). We had basic Human and (Southern) African History, and some political ideology stuff on Marxism , Communism and Socialism in form 1&2 (yr 1&2 after grade 7). For form 3&4 we took a deep dive into modern history either in African Liberation or European/World events. Most teachers teach the whole of modern history. Students choose to specialize on which one they want to focus on for the History paper 2 exam. Some choose European history but other love African History. Bottom line is that we learn both. AND YES, we do actually learn about Vasco da Gama, Natal and even a bit of the Cape history but not full accounts of events which Rutendo sought further.... (Further reading sections of the textbook chapters I guess)

everything cannot be educational mate. Hence we have different television channels to cater for different needs. Cheers

@@ronaldbarbour3562 Except that podcast and chill touts itself as being revolutionary. Revolutionary in what? Talking about smashing every 5 minutes? I was done the day MacG cut off a guest, who was just about to drop some knowledge on how locals took over a corrupt municipality.

@ thabang mokgoatjna Well said. Podcast and chill has turned out to be a huge disappointment. Too much loose talk, little wonder their subscription numbers have plateaued.

Straight 😮! Wooooow

Can you please drop the author's name

Please.....

Nsindoso growing up in Zim I always knew that Vasco da Gama got to the Cape before Van Riebeck. I always wonder why South Africans believe the Van Riebeck lie. In fact for Van Riebeck to go there was because another governor had been sent before him but had to be fired and this is history fact

@@GrumpyTinashe but SAns know that we got here before him but they think they smart

Growing up in South Africa I always understood history the same way he is narrating it. The trade between African and European preceeded the Jan Van Riebeck " take over". The only difference now is that history is learned on social media and lot of people don't get a full picture. The Portuguese history is not only recorded in archives but was also learned in history school books. The main issue with that,that history has always portrait Europeans as heroes. But the traces of the truth was always felt by the students back then hence there was always revolutions by and from students. The majority of the older South African generation who are not on social media knows the truth. I think the way forward will be to push that the school curriculum change to reflect the truth. Social media is and will not be enough . This should be applied in all African countries not just SA. African History is so rich and its children deserves to know who they are and want they are capable of.

Well said

Nah the Man read lot of books, and that makes him smart... Zim education isn't that great as you're being told.

Zim education is English, European....

@@thapelotjie6958 you're clueless

What good is "good education" if we still need to beg the very same white man that we chased away to allow us to trade with him because we're suffering without him? Do we get good education just to sound good?

@@truesouth6532 uri godzva regudo iwe

Exactly broo, I always disliked that guy, I always knew that he was compromised just like all ANC fat cats

@@vusimartin9070 Word bro🤌✊️

If he can tell Zimbabwean what with gugurahunde then l can say he is smart

Julius Malema is a Pan Africanist, he doesn't need validation of other people, Rob Hersov said it himself that Malema is genius and smart, he refused to be funded by WMC......

when one hears from a former us president that Kagami is a model for future African president, one knows a thief is promoting a thief.

Unfortunately many people in the Great lakes region still don't know what Kagame is all about. But they're waking up.

@@kim1570 good to hear
