Black History Buff Podcast - Job Maseko: An African In WII

Job Maseko: An African In WII

Black History Buff Podcast

play

05/15/24 • 21 min

In this explosive episode of the Black History Buff Podcast, I take you on a journey through the remarkable life of Job Maseko, a South African soldier who fought in World War II. Despite facing the harsh realities of apartheid and racial discrimination, Maseko's unwavering courage and ingenuity led him to single-handedly sink a German ship using nothing but a makeshift bomb crafted from a tin can.

I delve into the often-overlooked roles of African soldiers during the World Wars, shedding light on their sacrifices and the injustices they faced on and off the battlefield. Through Maseko's story, you will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of being a black soldier fighting for a country that did not grant them equal rights.

From his early life in South Africa to his time as a POW under the brutal treatment of German guards, Maseko's tale is one of resilience and bravery in the face of adversity. I explore the aftermath of Maseko's heroic act and the struggles he and many other African veterans faced upon returning home to a society still deeply entrenched in racism and oppression.

This thought-provoking episode not only highlights the incredible deeds of Job Maseko but also serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing battles for human rights and equality that persist to this day.

Support the show on Patreon OR Buy me a coffee In this episode I am joined by Jessica Jane Robinson. Jessica talks to me about reggae, becoming Miss Alameda and climate change . In the show Jessica mentions her movie "Recycle woman" and so for your viewing pleasure I have tracked down the film and you can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/57430675 She also mentions Reggae Singers Rankin Scroo and Ginger https://youtu.be/ioOdH0wyX34 And below is a clip of the legendary Yellow Man performing at Reggae Sun-splash in Jamaica https://youtu.be/0g7v1lobSlU Jessica Robinson, selected candidate for Miss Alameda, was born at Oakland Children’s Hospital on April 5th 1984, to Pamela Jane Proctor and George Robinson. George Robinson owned his own Auto Body Shop and had his own reggae band George and the Wonders. Pamela helped promote reggae music in the late 70’s and was a huge part of the movement that brought reggae to the United States. The reggae music industry is how Jessica’s parents met. In August 1994, her life changed dramatically! Jessica’s mother passed away and her father had to raise her on his own. Losing her mother greatly impacted her life‐ Jessica went from an out‐ going, happy, free spirited ten years old, to a confused, lonely child. She lost the aspiration to communicate with her peers. She felt they did not understand her life. She felt like an outsider. Her father was a strict parent and lacked the experience to raise a young girl entering her teens. A breach developed between them. George and Jessica could not easily get along trying to balance a teenager’s social priorities and the core curriculum of her school. By the time she was sixteen, and in high school, her father granted her to get legal emancipation and allowed her to live with Juanita Blair (whom she knows as a grandmother.)
