Let’s take our true place on Africa’s table of greatness

The history of politics in Africa is wrought with emotions and thrills, moments of excitement and also darkness. Our continent has a colourful past, including moments of glory and culture, but also of subjugation and cruelty.

Colonisation at the hands of the British, French, Belgians, Dutch and others left most of the more than 50 countries in Africa to pick up the shattered pieces. It has not been easy being part of this beautiful continent that our ancestors called home, but it is almost always exciting.
