• The Upright Man!
    “We Are All Sankara’s”: The Flame That Refused to Die. He lived for the people. He died among them. And even in death, they never let go.

    In the dusty heart of West Africa, Thomas Sankara dared to dream—and to act. Born in December 1949, he rose like a storm and passed like a meteor, gone too soon in October 1987 at just 38. Yet, his four-year presidency transformed not just a nation, but a mindset. When he seized power in 1983, Upper Volta was a name left behind. He rechristened it Burkina Faso, “Land of Upright People,” a reflection of his ideals—and himself. Sankara was upright in character, fiery in truth, and unwavering in justice.

    In a world that too often trampled on women’s voices, Sankara raised them. He banned forced marriages, championed girls' education, appointed women to leadership, and declared, “The revolution and women’s liberation go together. We do not talk of women’s emancipation as an act of charity, but as a basic necessity.” This was no mere rhetoric—it was policy, it was action, it was belief. He lived simply, shunning the trappings of power. He sold government limousines, took a modest salary, and even rode a bicycle to work.

    But truth is a dangerous thing. On October 15, 1987, Sankara convened a meeting with 13 close allies to discuss the nation’s pressing issues. It began at 4:15 p.m. By 4:30, the meeting room echoed with gunfire. The first to fall were his bodyguards and driver. Sankara tried to protect the others. Always the shield, never the sword. But this would be his final act. The bullets that rang out that day didn’t just kill a man—they tried to kill a movement.

    Yet the revolution did not die. At his humble grave, a note once appeared:
    “Do not worry, Mama Sankara. We will avenge the death of your son. We are all Sankaras.”
    No truer words could honor him. His spirit—unshaken, unyielding—still echoes in classrooms, protests, speeches, and songs across Africa and beyond.

    Let us remember this: A man may be killed, but not his convictions. Thomas Sankara proved that when you live for the people, you never really die. You become the people.

  • *TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN?*(Series 10)

    *Scripture Reading:* 1 Samuel 26:15-16

    *"David said to Abner, “Are you not a [brave] man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came [into your camp] to kill the king your lord. This thing that you have done is not good. As the Lord lives, you surely deserve to die, because you have not guarded your lord, the Lord’s anointed. And now, see where the king’s spear is, and the jug of water that was by his head.”*(AMP)

    Continuation from where we stopped yesterday:

    We need to take a lesson from David and stop the gossip, slander and misunderstandings about one another in the congregation of God. We need to critically study the life of David so as to really help us on how to respond to some tough situation amidst brethren.

    David stopped the group of men in the cave, and told them not to harm Saul. But I put it to you today that I have seen countless times when ministers of God are after their lives all in the name of ranks, position, authority, influence, connection, fame, etc. Will the Lord be please with this act?

    *David specifically ordered Abishai, not to harm Saul because he's the Lord's anointed and he has respect and honor for higher authority. If we all possess this same heart, the church of God, would have been heaven on earth.*

    You see church talking about someone even though you are right and they are wrong is still wrong. There's need to be a respect for authority, number is people’s lives, but there also needs to be a respect for each other. If that is lost or not pursued in the tough times, we will wake up like Saul.

    Pursue respect for authority and one another in the good times of your life, so that when hard times come, when people do harm to you, you will be able to respond out of love because you developed it in your life, just like David did.

    *Prayer point:* Dear Lord, give me a right heart to always do your will and always keep your ordinances in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

  • Russian Embassy comment on the Business Day article (July 15, 2025)

    We took note of the article How Russia wins friends and influences people by Nicholas Shubitz published in Business Day on July 11, 2025, and found it thought-provoking and partially reflective of the realities of getting education abroad – be it in Russia, USA, China, Europe or elsewhere. Yet, one important issue is missing.

    Education has traditionally been one of the most vibrant sectors in #RussiaAfrica relations. Since the early days of African independence, hundreds of thousands of professionals – doctors, engineers, teachers, technicians, and others – have received training in Russia. After completing these studies, most of the graduates return to their home countries, where they contribute to building a better future for their communities.

    We firmly believe that Africa is not, and should not be, an arena for geopolitical rivalry.

    As President Vladimir Putin emphasized in his article “Russia and Africa: Joining Efforts for Peace, Progress and a Successful Future,” our country has consistently adhered to the principle of “AFRICAN SOLUTIONS TO AFRICAN PROBLEMS,” standing in solidarity with African nations in their pursuit of self-determination, justice, and sovereign rights. Unlike some external actors, we have never sought to impose our values, governance models, or development paths on our African partners.

    Our engagement with African countries is guided by the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum Action Plan for 2023-2026, adopted at the highest level. This strategic document outlines broad cooperation in numerous areas, including security, trade, investment, agriculture, science, culture, and – critically – education.

    Shane Shauke, a graduate of a Russian University, current medical practitioner and representative of the Russian African Centre of University Studies (RACUS) in SA, shares his experience:
    “As a South African from the rural Limpopo province, I had the opportunity to study in Russia. Many of us who studied there were drawn not by political influence, but by the accessibility of quality education – especially in fields like medicine.

    Russia’s investment in international students, particularly from Africa, certainly fosters goodwill. It’s equally important to acknowledge that the relationship is not one-sided: African students often return home with valuable knowledge and skills.

    Russia may gain friends through education, but those friendships are rooted in complex human experiences, not just political strategy.”
