This episode discusses the history of Dina Arobi i.e. Mauritius Island and its relationship of unity within the Afrakan diaspora. There must be freedom, because the individual is not served by society unless it is hers. And there must be unity, because only when society is unified can its members live and work in peace, security and well being. These three essential not new to Afraka or its people; they have always been part of the traditional social order. Osabu-We (2000: 171) notes that Ujamaa "was supposed to embrace the communal concepts of African culture such as mutual respect, common property and common labor." The challenge was how to extend these traditional values to the modern postcolonial setting. Since Western-style capitalism was seen as incompatible with the aspirations of the newly independent Afrakan states, and indeed, the underdeveloped world, a more desirable alternative was socialism. In Julius Nyerere categorical words, "no underdeveloped country can afford to be anything but socialist" (Nyerere, 1961: 2). Take a listen to learn more on some history and enlightening perspective.
