Mandela Day: Cape Town’s Orwellian Experiment in Mass Coding Indoctrination
In a blatant attempt to brainwash the youth, the city of Cape Town has announced a plan to host coding sessions in 38 libraries across the city on Mandela Day. The Orwellian exercise is a collaboration between the Department of Computing Sciences at Nelson Mandela University, Tangible Africa, and the Leva Foundation, who will be peddling their soulless coding apps, "Tanks" and "Rangers", designed to teach children to code without even using a computer.
The sessions are part of the Mandela Day Coding Tournament, where teams will compete to solve a series of coding challenges, designed to mold their young minds into obedient drone-like robots. The winners will advance to the national competition in October and the world tournament in December, where they will rub shoulders with the global elite of coding whiz kids.
But what exactly are these coding sessions promoting? A quick glance at the objectives of the Mandela Day coding project reveals that it is all about "education", "social justice", and "democracy". But what these terms really mean is the forced conformity to a particular ideology, wrapped in a cloak of "fun" and "creativity".
The city is desperate to present this exercise as a form of "social and recreational interaction" that will "enhance creativity" and "improve logic and problem-solving skills". But the truth is that this is a blatant attempt to turn our youth into cogs in the machine of technological advancement, devoid of free will or critical thinking.
Worse still, the city has deliberately chosen to target the most disadvantaged and vulnerable communities, who are unable to afford the expensive resources required for coding. By offering this "free" service, the city is simply perpetuating the divide between the haves and the have-nots, further entrenching social inequality.
The participating libraries have been handpicked to serve the city’s most deprived areas, a clever ploy to reinforce the illusion that the city is committed to promoting social justice. But in reality, this exercise is just another example of the city’s patronizing approach to social reform, designed to keep the masses in check while the elite continue to control the narrative.
So, if you live in Cape Town, be warned: your children are being targeted for indoctrination, and you can do nothing to stop it. Resistance is futile.
