His views on African Continent

He wrote various articles expressing his personal views on the future of "Iraq after Saddam Hussein", "the position of South Africa as African voice through its leader Thabo Mbeki", Hope for democratic dispensation in his native Democratic Republic of the Congo as promising; despite loopholes which still visible ,there is hope for Congolese people to emerge from deadly conflict and build an ideal Congo for all.

The young researcher is of opinion that changes and reforms in Congo should be visible through the country's leadership and its partners, but there are signs showing changes and reforms are resisted by the same people who suppose to initiate them; as he struggles to point out single sign which may truly show the willingness of post Mubutu leadership taking seriously people's concerns at their hearts.

Living as refugee in South Africa; he acknowledges permanent issues which may lead to conflict in South Africa such as labour laws, delay in economic transformation which takes slow pace since the country witnessed its first democratic transformation in 1994, obscure future for dark skin African migrants in South Africa but acknowledges the only reason South Africa may not know the fate of other post-colonial African countries; is its strategic and immense interests it represent economically as power house of African continent to developed world who used South Africa as pipe to suck African resources through its infrastructures, stability and the naivity of African countries which still consider the country as champion of African cause at international level. From his views the best manpower of African continent youth who seek refuge or who are economic migrants in the country are treated intentionally bad. Policies applied to African migrants are more harsher than migrants of clear skin.

Pretoria has lost its moral values, which its ruling Party African National Congress (ANC) was identified with as liberation movement the time Nelson Mandela was elected as first black president of the country. From South Africans themselves as to the rest of the continent: power, money and influence have corrupted ANC leaders. Poor labour laws are blamed on the government and the ruling party as highest members of the ANC are having interests in industries which needs changes in term of labour laws such as mining, dysfunctional labour brokers system. At international level, the leadership is willing to sell South Africa to whoever pays them better: this has been witnessed when Archbishop Desmond Tutu invited Dalai-Lama for his birthday and occasion could have been used to speak about morality while the current president Jacob Zuma was campaigning for his first term in office. China puts pression on ANC leadership to deny Tibet spiritual leader visa to enter the country in exchange for funds to sponsor elections compaign. Recently when embattled Central African Republic (CAR) leader Francois Bozize was fighting Seleka rebellion coalition; members of the South African defence forces lost lives in the conflict without knowing on which mandate they were there as the country did not have even a diplomatic mission in CAR.
