Frelimo freedom fighters in Mozambique popularised the Portuguese expression "a luta continua." The struggle continues. The passing on last week of Rasna Warah, a courageous and gifted original thinker, leaves you with a huge sense of loss.

You are captured in the trap of hopelessness. Yet, the struggles she engaged in for humankind must continue. Rasna's passing robs the African public intellectual fraternity of a great thinker. She had a rare celerity of mind and clarity of expression. Her substance was heavy, the reading easy.
