Rebuilding Afrika

The African story is deep, historical, and present and it is the story of our future. But while we look at ancient African cities destroyed by Europeans, we must not lose sight of the fact that in as much as those days were reflections of how great Africa was, we have a duty now to […]

With the many false narratives peddled globally about Africa, it is very easy to be veiled and then made to believe in things that are not true. Be that African who sees what the truth is, even through the many veils of lies that are created to subject the mind to falsehood. Be the African […]

That Afrika’s potential is mind-blowing is unquestionable. So, how do we move beyond potential to actualization? Vision. We need personal, family, community, national and continental visions that are in harmony with each other and so compelling as to generate the necessary impetus for change. We have no time to waste, as the next seven years […]

The theory of Ubuntu in its multi-dimensional character cannot be defined in one statement, but in practice, it can simply mean “I must love my neighbor as myself”. Why? Because our common good depends on how we treat one another. Will we remember that we are all human, or will we abandon each other at […]

For every tree that is standing, there is a root system holding it For every building we admire, there is a foundation beneath it For every reaction there is an action that came before it And for every noble Afrikan that we admire, there is an Afrikan child to be nurtured Silencing the guns on […]

Our future depends on them. There are no two ways about it. The health of a tree is determined by the health of the seed. As Afrikans, our children are our future. They are the seed that we are planting now whose fruits will either be for the good of Afrika or for evil. We […]

When are we actually going to stop complaining and talking about change and start to make change happen? Our answer is, NOW. The little things we do as part of the bigger push for change are what make change happen. Extraordinary people are not always known for the ordinary things they do, but for the […]

The war against indigenous seeds all across the globe is real. And because seed is life, we cannot leave seeds and the life they carry in the hands of wicked capitalists who want to control our lives, health and choices. We must not allow that to happen. Afrikans, wake up and defend your seeds. Our […]

Domestic and social violence manifest themselves in many different forms. Physical abuse is usually the more evident kind, but psychological torments, abuse of official power, spiritual abuse and the mistreatment of those weaker than us are all aspects of this. The most disturbing – and possibly the most encouraging – part of all this is […]

This video is the first in our new campaign titled “Do Your Little.” The simple purpose of the campaign is to take the minds and eyes of Afrikans (both home and abroad) and the world at large away from how massive the issues facing the world are and reminding each one that by everyone doing […]

ARE WE REALLY INDEPENDENT? As 17 Afrikan countries mark 61 years since ‘independence’, we ask the question – Is Afrika truly independent, truly liberated and truly free? Much fanfare surrounded the announcements and the continued commemoration of these days by nations across the continent – and our history books are full of accounts about how […]

The story of Afrika goes beyond wildlife, beyond tourism and way beyond natural resources. It is definitely NOT about poverty or the other negative narratives peddled around about Afrika by the biased local and world media. The story of Afrika is about a people: beautiful, strong, bold, hardworking, creative, innovative, loving, kind and full of […]
