The Silence of the Unread — A South African Truth

 


Yes, it’s true — 300 Ghanaians left the country. But what do we hear next? Nothing about 300 South Africans stepping into those positions, nothing about progress, nothing about responsibility. Instead, we watch the so‑called “barbarians” stumble forward, proving again that opportunity means nothing if you refuse to rise to it.  

And let’s talk about the sickness of social media here. South Africans have this petty habit of following you today, unfollowing you tomorrow — chasing clout, silencing voices, pretending they don’t see. That’s why most celebrities keep quiet. They don’t want the backlash, the noise, the endless cycle of ignorance. But I’m not a celebrity. I’m just a writer, a man who puts his truth into books.  

What I’ve discovered is brutal: 95% of South Africans don’t read. Unless it’s the Bible, they don’t touch a book. The shelves gather dust, the stories go unheard. Only white South Africans still buy and read books. That’s the reality. And because of that, nothing stops me from speaking my mind online. I don’t need their approval. I don’t need their applause. I will tell the truth, raw and unfiltered, because silence is the real curse.
