Myself, my kids, all and sundry have been raised on the bible according to ninja saints: John Speke, Henry Morton Stanley, David Livingstone, all manner of clandestine-cum-exploitative missionary outfits (White Fathers, Mill Hill etc) – all plunderers of Mother Africa’s resources.
Why haven’t the Castrol/Guevara history leanings and ideology been mainstreamed in Africa? What a shame!
Can’t thank you enough, Ms Elizabeth Rugege, for educating me on Cuba’s invaluable contribution to the liberation of Southern Africa, and by association, Mother Africa as a whole.
