It is with great sadness that we, the African National Congress announce the passing away of Joe Nhlanhla.

He passed away after spending four weeks at Milpark Hospital, in a coma.

Joe Nhlanhla has dedicated his life to the struggle for a non-racial, non-sexist democratic South Africa. It is through the contribution of his extraordinary capacity of intelligence and militancy that today South Africans enjoy the benefits of a peaceful democratic country. His commitment to the struggle will always be honored and remembered by the ANC and the rest of the country.

Joseph (Joe) Mbuku Nhlanhla was born on 4 December 1936 in Sophiatown. He was one of the five children of Christina Toli (born Buhali) and Samuel Nhlanhla. Both parents were originally from the Free State Province (formerly known as Orange Free State). His father left Free State as he refused to be under the oppressive racist rules of the area he lived in and the family settled in Sophiatown. …continue reading →African National Congress Statement on the passing away of Joe Nhlanhla

He joined the U.S. Army shortly after emigrating from Guyana, then reached back to help his mother and siblings join him in America.
Years later, he rejoined the military after the 9/11 terror attacks, leaving a butcher’s job to help make his adopted America safe.
Yesterday, at a home in Hollis, Queens, family members who arrived from as far away as London and Iraq remembered Sgt. 1st Class Joseph A. McKay, who would have turned 52 on the Fourth of July, as a calm, caring man, who called home almost daily to inquire after loved ones.
McKay, of the 2nd Squadron, 101st Cavalry Regiment, N.Y. Army National Guard, died from wounds suffered when his convoy was ambushed on Thursday in Afghanistan.

‘Shocking’ Rise in Colombia coca farming
Colombia’s coca crop grew by 27 percent last year, the United Nations reported , calling the increase ”a surprise and a shock,” given major U.S.-funded eradication efforts. 
”The increase in coca cultivation in Colombia is a surprise and shock: a surprise because it comes at a time when the Colombian government is trying so hard to eradicate coca; a shock because of the magnitude of cultivation,” the UNODC’s executive director, Antonio Maria Costa, said in a statement

Dear Propaganda Press: There’s lots of speculation about what happened to Robeson Jr so I am sending this letter to clear the air and tell our side of what really happened.

This was evidently another “shakedown” attempt by some rogue policemen which went awry and degenerated to “road rage” and actual assault on a young man protesting the violation of his legitimate rights as a citizen.

There was no police chase or pursuit – Benn did not realize what was afoot and therefore did not stop with alacrity on police driving dangerously close alongside – excepting for noting the dangerous situation they were creating and identifying himself.

Vehicle tinting was approved by a permit from the Ministry of Home Affairs but, in any event, the vehicle’s front windows were down so passengers could be easily identified. The policemen did not ask for documents, or an explanation, with regards to the vehicle’s tinting on the road or at the station, nor have they asked up to press time. …continue reading →Guyana Police thugs called me a “puss” & wanted to “shakedown” my son - Robeson Benn Sr

Georgetown, GINA, July 1, 2008

Democracy Now! And in Maryland, the state’s medical examiner’s office has concluded a19-year-old man was strangled to death while in solitary confinement in a Prince George’s County jail. A preliminary autopsy concluded Ronnie White died of asphyxiation. Two small bones were broken in his neck. White died two days after he was arrested and charged with murdering a police officer. The FBI has begun a civil rights probe.

Baltimore Sun: A day after the state medical examiner ruled inmate Ronnie L. White’s death a homicide by asphyxiation and strangulation, civil rights and political leaders said they were reserving judgment while the Maryland State Police and the FBI investigate.
No one at the Prince George’s County Correctional Center had been suspended by Tuesday night, though county officials said seven correctional officers and their supervisors had access to White’s high-security isolation cell.

EVEN if the opposition forms a united front as the one prescribed by F. Kissoon (anti-dictatorial) they cannot defeat the PPP in any free and fair election.

It doesn’t matter what they do or say, the PPP and Dr. Jagan will remain to be the voice of the Guyanese people. It is like the soul nothing can destroy it.

The mighty British Empire and the powerful USA tried to destroy The PPP and Dr. Jagan but they were unsuccessful. Today they are the ones that are giving it the support they denied it when it was in power in the fifties and early sixties.

The PNC for 28 years did everything in its power to destroy it but in the end it emerged as the greatest fighting force in Guyana and the Caribbean. Today there is not a second to it in Guyana and the Caribbean and is recognised as one of the greatest in the world.

The PPP was manifested from the truth. From the ashes of the sufferings of the working class the PPP was manifested and that cannot be destroyed. …continue reading →The People’s Progressive Party is like the soul of the Guyanese people
