Understanding of what we see, read and hear is what will make the difference to the world we live in. What we currently have is a situation where we are faced with a lot of information, but nothing is changing our world because while we have the information, we do not have the understanding necessary to apply it. The concept of understanding is fundamental to our everyday lives. If we could only understand each other, we could eliminate hatred, suspicion, and discrimination.

This book traces Barotseland’s existence in the Zambian nation from 1964 to date. It challenges dominant discourses on Barotseland from various sources, including the Zambian Government. Indeed, such narratives have either been explicitly biased or have sought to distort Barotseland’s quest for independence from Zambia.  In the same vein, it departs from previous works that have sought to legitimise what the people of Barotseland now refer to as the “illegal occupation of Barotseland by the Zambian Government”.

Meer as ’n Metafoor ontsluit die diepte en krag van ’n heelal wat volgens die beginsels van selfverwysing en holisme, soos uitgelê deur Jan Smuts in Holism and Evolution, in beheer is van sy eie ewolusie, en redeneer dat die mens die kollektiewe oog is waarmee hierdie heelal homself ken, waarneem en voortdurend herskep.

You were born to have an impact in this world, it’s time to unleash your creativity and stand up to the world. This moment, right here and right now, is the future you always talk about. Instead of searching for a door that will open for you, create your own. Think of all the inventors and self-made billionaires and ask yourself: which door did they find opened for them? Most of them had to create the right time, the right door and the right opportunity for themselves; they had to define their own excellence for themselves by taking ownership of their lives and desires.
