Why he was called Fokon Bastardv

We respectfully call him (Isaac Davids) Abuti Ike, meaning ‘brother Ike.’ We used to hang out at one of his bars in Mochudi, called FNB, which stands for Fokkon Bastard. He is affectionately known as Fucking Bustard, which is pronounced ‘Fokkon Bastard.’ The nickname comes from the days of his aggression, when he used to thump people at the drinking holes. He was quick with the slap on the face. I have seen him splash a whole glass of whisky in a man’s face as they were drinking together at his FNB bar. I couldn’t help laughing inside, as I saw the poor chap gasp for air, frantically wiping the liquor off his soaked face. He was furious to the brink as he jerked off his seat and tried to advance upon Abuti Ike (Isaac Davids)  for a brawl. Abuti Ike was sitting down in his chair, very calm, and waving his thick arm at the man to advance, chanting the daring words: “Let him come, let him come forth this Fokkon Bastard.” That was the first time I ever heard the expression ‘Fokkon Bastard’ come out of his mouth. Abuti Ike is a loving man who understands the law of the jungle. - Kgosi Kgafela

He was a good man

He spoke the politics of authentic change then (When he was BNF). But, come to think of it, Comrade Davids never once spoke from the other side of the aisle. He never addressed Parliament after he crossed over to the other side. His soul could not allow. Its recriminations ensured that that booming voice would remain silent to this day. I sensed his discomfort with his new political home, and teased him a few times in Parliament, reminding him of his statements. He smiled shyly and timidly on each occasion and left the House. I still called him Comrade, even after he left the opposition. And he warmly acknowledged me and called me Comrade President too. He was a good man. He spoke from the depth when he spoke, yes in the same manner expressed in the opening words of Psalm 130. Fare the well Comrade Isaac Davids! I never bid you farewell when you crossed the aisle. I did not believe you had crossed in soul and spirit. I still do not. But on your departing this earth I say fare thee well, Comrade.- Duma Boko

Respect the dead

No matter how you can hate a person, the fact is that he has relatives, children and friends that he left behind. He might have had his flaws but you can't hurt him now if you didn't face him off when he was still around, it's his family you are attacking and I regard you as a shameless coward. Respect the late Hon Isaac Davids please. – Innocent Chiepe
