Mass Solidarity Movement
by a.k.a Mzamani, 03 October 2022
Constable Keny attends to a.k.a Mzamani after colliding with the traffic police vehicle. The police vehicle was driven by the said traffic officer and Mzamani was on his motorbike. The motorbike fell further up the road on Thursday, September 2022.
I was involved in a motorbike accident while on the way to do community organizing, to clear the land for a community center and garden in Gate 7 informal settlement. I was involved in an accident with a traffic officer who was in the wrong because he ignored the road rules, by not stopping at the stop sign and I was on my right of the way. So I hit his car in the front and fell onto the road. I got injured above the ankle of the left leg with bruises and a wound but no bones were broken. The bike is no longer rideable. I took it to the bike shop for a quotation to fix it last week and they suggest a write-off. Because the cost of fixing it is almost equal to the price of a new motorbike.
Right now I’m without transport again and is difficult going to meet comrades in the communities. But I’m continuing with community organizing and will never give up. The community organizing activities are defining the road map towards mass solidarity and are within which the vision of Ntirhisano is refined. There’s a need to avoid, and be wary of entanglements because communities are very complex. As an organizer for many communities, I need to attentively focus on issues affecting everyone in the community. While I repeatedly make sure communities have to control and direct what they need and how they need it – with or without my presence.
It is, however of utmost importance to leave trails with a long-lasting impact. While awakening other communities elsewhere based on the same templates and results. These tactics and strategies must advocate themselves through a multilayer of tangible and intangible imprints. Where more and more communities are harmoniously self-teaching, organizing, and ready for a Mass Solidarity Movement (MSM). Comrades, what I’m also saying is Ntirhisano needs bigger funding, more resources, and direct action.
