The passage below is an extract from an interview by" HUGH MASEKELA" "Politicians are more interested in their party and their position than their people. But what is tragic is that even in Africa, where we were enslaved and colonised, the governments that have emerged have mostly been worse than the colonial governments they replaced. So the joke is on us." "For centuries our cultural heritage and traditional values were rubbished and replaced by religion and so-called civilisation. And now they are attacked by consumerism. In this respect, China and India and Japan are more fortunate. Their culture still acts as a mirror for the people. It tells them who they are, and the world respects them for that. When our grandchildren ask who they are, we will have to say 'we used to be Africans'." | ||||||||
