Are liberation movements still relevant in Africa?
Today Alan Kasujja sits down with Dr.Philbert Komu from the University of Dar es Salaam and Dr. Gideon Chitanga of the University of Johannesburg in South Africa.
They are discussing the role of former liberation movements in Africa’s contemporary politics.
Is their performance in line with the expectations of their nations?
The conversation was sparked by the dismal showing of the African National Congress in South Africa’s May 2024 elections.
Others like Zanu-PF in Zimbabwe have also lost support over the years, relying on rural votes to remain in power.
Although icons like Jomo Kenyatta, Julius Nyerere and Samora Machel are still celebrated to this day, Alan attempts to understand if their ideas still work.
