They’ve murdered us. They’ve incarcerated us. They’ve victimised us. They’ve dehumanised us. They’ve discriminated against us. They made us hate us. They ate while they starved us. Contracts, they hid from us. Career progression, was denied us. Ambassadorship wasn’t worthy of us. Black tokenism, they demeaned us. Orphans, they’ve reduced us. Widows, they’ve made us. Crying mothers, they gave us. Grieving fathers, they’ve burdened us. All that and more, they did to us.

Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham, O.E, S.C

But LFSB, you loved us. All of us. Each and everyone of us. So self-sufficient you endeavoured to make us. Foreign importation you thought wasn’t for us. Food security is where you were guiding us. Patriots, you were making of us.

Free education, from nursery to university, you guaranteed us. That too, they stole from us. Your policies were too deep for us. Understanding evaded us. Misunderstanding, made rebels of us. And they played on the rebel in us.

So miseducation they fed us. Ban-um, they brainwashed us. The most evil, they indoctrinated us. But he hasn’t murdered over 1000 of you or us. Thus, alive you are and of LFSB, you remind us.

However, your champion hands are stained with the blood of us. Yet, you say life was hard under LFSB, but what about this life for us? In fact, your man has made it a murderous 28yrs for us. Miseducate us. You miseducated us. You certainly miseducated all of us.

Now, of your murderer you’ve no support for us. He is an angel, you boldly professed to us. You embraced him in the presence of us. You unashamedly love this victimiser in preference to us. You affectionately held him and his black book, with not a care for us. Of this racist, you garland and flaunted him, in front of us. Of your bigot, the praises were in abundance, not concerned that he murdered us. Was it because he looks like you and not like us?

In fact, LFSB it isn’t easy for us. Black dogs they call us. Monkeys they label us. Hungry bellies they disparagingly name us. Black thugs the title to criminalise us. Not good to be leaders they told others of us. Locked the doors of opportunities, to relegate us. All this and more, as the ERC stood silent to us. It hurts Comrade Leader, but it opens our eyes to what you were telling us. Clarity of your message now dawn on us. Wealth not for a selected few, but for all of us. All 800,000 of us.

Thus, LFSB we are sorry for the vilification from us. We are sorry that your denunciation was propagated by us. We are sorry all things diabolical was tagged to you from us. We are sorry that tarnishing your legacy was misguidedly aided and abetted by us. For this we promise, no ill of you would ever be spoken again by us. To you, much love and remorse from us. Much love and remorse from us. Sincere love and remorse from all of us.
