How I overcame abuse and blackmail to become an activist | interview with Nomazulu Thata

In Faces of DiEM, we speak to DiEM25 members who set out to unite people across the continent around a common vision of what Europe could be.
In this episode, we are joined by Nomazulu Thata, a member of DiEM25 since 2021. Born in Rhodesia (modern-day Zimbabwe), Nomazulu takes us through the difficult but inspiring story of her life. Noma explains how she had to overcome very difficult circumstances in order to become who she is today.
She also takes her through her journey with activism, with DiEM25 and MERA25, as well as her own radio show, Ntombilanga Radio (ntombilangaradio.com) which sh set up to reach and connect with women in southern Sahara Africa.
Hers is the story shared by so many other young girls who had to endure the trials and tribulations of abandonment, sexual abuse, and blackmail, but who managed to successfully turn their situation around in order to ensure that other women wouldn't have to go through the same.

Her story is touching and exiting. Love her emphasis on the socialist background and her political focus.

I met Noma in perzon during the election campaign and I can say, she's a wonderful person.

I found her story how she ended up in Germany and the UK very unconvincing. She also is bringing tribal African politics into Germany. This is everything that is wrong with this kind of movement of peoples into Europe. The naivete of the interviewer and some of the comments are quite touching. Just emotion and not logic as ever in socialist circles. But the drive of people moving like this is really financial and personal. But the outcome for German people may be negative if it just ends up creating division which it almost invariably does. Socialists really like dividing societies though. That is why communism killed millions but thought it was a good thing. It is a philosophy of failure.
