My life is now in grave danger
IT IS now clear to me that my means of living and my life are now in grave danger, and I am positive that it all has to do with the numerous articles I have written in the press and on my TV programme entitled ‘Commentary’ which seek to expose the lies and deceptive statements made by the AFC, a party I joined in 2005, but was expelled because of the outspoken manner in which I have dealt with issues such as corruption, cronyism and mismanagement of donations and party funds.
Over the weekend, the RVC High School, a school which I have been operating for a number of years, became the target of a break-and-enter for the fourth time, and important records were stolen in addition to canteen items. But what was alarming and amounted to a serious threat is that on two occasions, there was chalk written messages on my desk which demanded that I get out of New Amsterdam. These break-ins began as soon as I began my TV programme, and I realised that these cannot be isolated events. Then I stopped the programme from July 2014, and until now there was no repetition of such break-ins. However, I began the programme two weeks ago and once again the school has been targeted. Is this another coincidence?
The matter was reported to the New Amsterdam Central Police Station and police visited the crime scene and took relevant information and promised a thorough investigation.
I wish to make it clear that when I embarked on this political journey, it was for the good of my country and I am totally committed to what I believe in, and will never compromise with evil. I read Gandhi’s autobiography entitled, ‘My Experiments with Truth’ when I was just 12 years old but I could never forget two things he said: “I have nothing new to teach the world, truth and non-violence are as old as the mountains’ and ‘non-co-operation with evil is a sacred duty”.
I do firmly believe in what Martin Luther King preached his whole life. He said that if there is nothing worth dying for, then there is nothing worth living for. I am willing to die for what I believe in.
I will continue my journey until the end.
