Oliver Tambo, born on this day in 1917, was a South African anti-apartheid politician and revolutionary who served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1967 to 1991.
In 1943, Tambo, along with Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu, founded the ANC Youth League, with Tambo becoming its first National Secretary and a member of the National Executive in 1948. The Youth League proposed a change in the tactics of the anti-apartheid movement, advocating boycotts, civil disobedience, strikes, and non-collaboration.
In 1960, Tambo fled South Africa due to political persecution, living in exile in north London for thirty years. From London, he supported and helped organize the ANC in the fight against apartheid from a distance. On December 13th, 1990, Tambo returned to South Africa and was elected National Chairperson of the ANC.

lol the manager from my old studio finally saw one of my clients posting about my new place and hit me up being salty af about it. I don't have any contract with them, i dont have a noncompete, all of my clients were my own, the only time they provided clients to me was to call me in to produce something which they usually passed the expense on to the client and I was providing a service. Idk why tf they think they own me as an engineer but I knew they were gonna be like this about it.
Hit them back with something about "that's the free market for you. You mad that I am exercising my right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? What are you some kind of tankie?"
they're not online enough to understand what any of that means. they're fucking hypocrites tho so it wouldn't matter anyway. they're the first to say "it's only business" shit and always pressed when the shoes on the other foot. They also cry about late payments from our label clients but they're consistently weeks late with my payment so.. lol
Act confused about what they are talking about, then brush them off but thank them for being such good friends amd calling after you
