It’s so true. That has definitely happened to those of us called to this reality of shared commitment to healing the collective trauma that binds us here on SS.

Being here in Afrika I’ve been observing this collective trauma phenomenon.

There has not ever been a time when our country engaged in such a national process despite obvious signs of daily trauma suffered from colonization then apartheid then post colonization through capitalism.

And of course we can’t forget the ongoing trauma of our colonizers benevolence: they confessed to willfully infecting the majority with HIV/AIDS, death-quads and so many are still missing.

I once heard a land analyst allege the reason the colonizers and eugenicists didn’t plan to ever return our land is frightening to the core.

He claimed there were many mass graves of anti-apartheid fighters and this had to remain hidden as long as possible😒

Again, the levels of trauma here have been carefully nurtured and passed on to several generations.

When I left SA in 2001 it literally was known to have the highest incidences of violence against women in the world. It was worse than even some warring countries and very little has changed to now in 2025. And according to our sacred calendars we’re in a totally difference timeline - but I digress.

Since my return this notion of the Hive Trauma has arisen with a vengeance for it cannot be that the levels of violence here are not informed by it.

Just in the last week there have been: rapes of children & nurses on night shift and mass shootings. Yesterday it was announced that more than 200+ “illegal miners” died underground after a long standoff with the govt.🐬
