ANDILE KHUMALO: Mazi, the ignored Black Panther
The likes of Mazi Asset Management are able to generate meaningful solutions for our economy
Earlier this week I finally got to see Black Panther. It was everything and more. The movie is about a fictional country where black people are endowed with a magical metal they cleverly exploit to build unimaginable technology that benefits their people. However, they hide it from the rest of the world, and following all sorts of events, the young king of Wakanda is eventually convinced that their gift ought to be shared with the world for all to benefit from it.
The movie is as entertaining as it is poignant. The messages in the plot are unavoidably powerful.
Thanks to this work of art, I found myself thinking a lot about how we have been conditioned to believe things that in actual fact are just rubbish...
