You know, we gave them work, we fed them,\u201d he said during the interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey grew from a tiny little group into a massive group. That\u2019s not oppression, that\u2019s feeding them! You only grow big if you get fed. You only start at 800,000 and become 50 million if you get fed! We fed them, for crying out loud! You know, enough with this nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His comments quickly spread online, prompting strong reactions, including from media personality Nandi Madida, who refused to let the remarks go unchallenged.<\/p>\n<p>On 16 November 2025, Nandi responded with a nine-photo collage showcasing scenes of traditional African life and food preparation, accompanied by the pointed caption: \u201cWe fed them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a follow-up post, she expanded on why she felt compelled to speak out.<\/p>\n<p>Nandi said she refuses to allow the next generation of black South Africans to inherit distorted narratives about their roots.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, African ancestors were innovators and builders long before colonial interference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI refuse for future generations to be brainwashed into believing our ancestors were anything less than extraordinary,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfricans come from brilliance, civilisation, innovation and genius, and colonialism has continuously appropriated, rewritten and exploited that at our expense.
