In the aftermath of the tragic death of Rikhado Makhoda, the fashion-forward musician known as Riky Rick, we have been trying to make sense of it all.
Proverb, Zakwe, Big Zulu and NaakMusiQ all supported AKA’s call to arms, while his mother Lynn Forbes wrote: “Kiernan, the courage it took or maybe the point of desperation reached to express these feelings. Be the change you want to see in the world, son, I’m right behind you and yes it’s time to start a dialogue about MEN.
“Men are trying to deal with the trauma from the disidentification — that is where they are most vulnerable. This is the root of a lot ofand misogyny — patriarchy gets set up to deal with that problem. Patriarchy has been there as long as we can remember historically. You are trained as a man to get over it — not speak it. We are not raised to put up our hands to say I am feeling anxious. If you do, you are told you are a pussy boy, get a grip — get back in line.
“Masculinity can be a generative important thing, but the pathology of it — not wanting to say what the problem is or expressing that we are not OK — is identified with being effeminate. We are not OK with being vulnerable and that is destructive. Putin has just invaded the Ukraine — why did Russia go to war? They were feeling vulnerable — Russia is a very masculine place.”
