A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
This is his master’s voice
By a special decree of the ruling class
We interrupt your victory celebrations
To inform you
A black future has been cancelled
Until further notice
And your 1994 freedom has been delayed
By another thirteen years
Because the wabenzis and yengeni drivers are on strike
And your retired revolutionaries
Are still on holiday
During this period
In between caviar and champagne and socialist cigars
They shall sign binding freedoms
With the IMF and the World Bank
On your behalf
And the Esteemed Governor of The Reserve Bank
Shall reserve the right
To withhold your wealth
In the interest of foreign capital
And good governance
Martyrs
Shall be killed again
Without being resurrected
In the meantime
You suckers can continue binging
In your orgy of self-mutilation
To feed your hunger for true freedom
