Hatua Saba (Seven Stages)- Garvey’s Words on Kuongoza (Leadership)

Supremely blessed by the Creator Supreme, the primary and superlative people of humanity have developed powerful ways to realise their maximum potential and maximum capabilities. The continual results of which have been unique, tremendous and at the apex of human achievement.  The pinnacle prowess of the world’s most glorious and long-lived civilisations is the expression of a fully flourishing, self-governing and exultant Afrikan people. A people, placed in the centrality of the sacred universe by divine decree at one in the knowingness of the Creator Supreme and of the divine self. A people of their own liberty and nationhood. A people living in optimal wellbeingness throughout generational unfolding. It is obvious, that for the Afrikan soul any state of alien imposed unfreedom is anathema to full prosperity and wellbeing. The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey provided Afrikan people throughout the world with seven stages of growth and development necessary for the full expression of Afrikan life. In Kiswahili word for stages is Hatua. The Kiswahili word for seven is Saba. With the genius-filled work of the magnificent Marcus Garvey as a basis and the wonderfully harmonising example of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles), this author elucidates the Hatua Saba (Seven Stages) as follows:

Kuamka (Awaken), Mabadiliko (Self-Transformation), Kusambaza (Channel), Kazi (Work), Kujifunza (Education), Kuongoza (Leadership), Pamoja (Togetherness)

Kuongoza (Leadership) - To prepare ourselves for the imperative responsibilities of building, leading, directing, maintaining, developing and safeguarding our own nations.

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey uttered the following profound words in relation to the Kuongoza stage:

“Let [Afrikan] people know that in them and in themselves only, is the power to rise. Let them know that [the Creator Supreme] does not go out of [the] way to give people positions or jobs or to give them good conditions such as they desire. They must do that for themselves out of the fullness of nature that [the Creator Supreme] has created for [Afrikans]”. [The Creator Supreme] does not build cities, towns, nations, homes, [n]or factories. Men and women build them and all those who want them must work for [this] themselves and pray to [the Creator Supreme] to give them the strength to do it”.

Despite the horrific ills imposed by foreign forces in the Maafa of recent centuries, Afrikan souls of the world remain supremely blessed with all of the tools they need to bring about the imperative of pinnacle betterment for themselves. The challenge brings such endeavours as restoration and implementation to the fore. Surely as Afrikan people pick up their own tools that have been fashioned and shaped from the crucible of their own pinnacle genius flow the brilliancy of the greatest civilisations will again be made manifest, this time for eternity.  The Hatua Saba is a tool profound.
