Text Quotes
For me, personally, life in South Africa had come to an end. I had been lucky in some of the whites I had met. Meeting them had made a straight ‘all-blacks-are-good, all-whites-are-bad’ attitude impossible. But I had reached a point where the gestures of even my friends among the whites were suspect, so I had to go or be forever lost. (Africa Quotes)
We can’t stop a baby in Africa from starving to death... but we can afford enough technology and weaponry to blow the world up a million times over. (Africa Quotes)
Millions of women in malaria-endemic areas in Africa become pregnant every year. Malaria is a threat to these women and their babies, with up to 200,000 newborn deaths each year as a result of malaria. (Africa Quotes)
I go back to Africa every year. I have a home there. You know, my grandfather lives back there in Cameroon. (Africa Quotes)
Living in South Africa and periodically coming back to Kenya, my relationship with officialdom in Kenya was just insane. (Africa Quotes)
At the outset, I want to say that the suggestion that the struggle in South Africa is under the influence of foreigners or communists is wholly incorrect. I have done whatever I did because of my experience in South Africa and my own proudly felt African background, and not because of what any outsider might have said. (Africa Quotes)
Islamic fundamentalism in its activist manifestation is bad news. Religious fundamentalism in general is bad news. We know about religious fundamentalism in South Africa. Calvinist fundamentalism has been an unmitigated force of benightedness in our history. (Africa Quotes)
In Africa it’s difficult to carry the money, it’s difficult to have a banking system with tellers, with distribution of cash. So they are using their mobile phones. (Africa Quotes)
Africa doesn’t leap on you immediately; it seeps slowly, and it’s incredibly important to be respectful and humble there. (Africa Quotes)
I grew up in a very strong, nuclear family. My father was a sportsman. He represented South Africa in a couple of sports, so he was a very positive person and someone who encouraged you to be your best and give your best with everything that you do. (Africa Quotes)
The drums of Africa still beat in my heart. They will not let me rest while there is a single Negro boy or girl without a chance to prove his worth. (Africa Quotes)
This is my first opportunity to visit this part of North Africa, so I am going to be able to go back home and talk about this beautiful country and encourage Americans to travel here. (Africa Quotes)
Most Americans know nothing about the African forest, and it seems to them a very scary, spooky dangerous place. I’ve spent a lot of time in the forests of central Africa. I know they’re beautiful places that contain a lot of different kinds of creatures, including some that carry Ebola. (Africa Quotes)
It’s not just Ethiopia, but Africa in general - most of the media concentrates on what’s not going well. But there is so much beauty there. When you go, it changes everything. It changes you, your life, and the way you see things. The challenge is changing the image of Africa that’s been anchored in people for years now. (Africa Quotes)
Any atrocity that’s committed against one person affects us all, and we are becoming more of one society, of a global society, so something that happens in the Middle East or something that happens in Africa, something that happens in Asia, affects all of us. (Africa Quotes)
I started writing as a child. But I didn’t think of myself actually writing until I was in college. And I had gone to Africa as a sophomore or something - no, maybe junior - and wrote a book of poems. And that was my beginning. I published that book. (Africa Quotes)
This is a story of Africa. A pioneer woman’s journey north was merely the beginning. (Africa Quotes)
I think growing up in South Africa, and then moving to Canada, I’m just genuinely interested in the difference between the First World and the Third World, immigration, and how the new, globalized world is beginning to operate. All of those things run through my mind a lot. (Africa Quotes)
There’s something really cool about being able to fly to South Africa and watch one of the most talented African footballers wearing a shoe on the field. (Africa Quotes)
I think there’s something very dark in the South African psyche. I think we live a lot of the time in a state of a very low-grade civil war; the levels of violence in South Africa are extremely high. In a way, the civil war that never happened is being played out in a covert way, so we live with a lot of very ugly things. (Africa Quotes)
In South Africa, being Chinese meant I wasn’t white and I wasn’t black. I trained in Baragwanath Hospital, the largest black hospital in South Africa. That was around 1976, the time of the Soweto Uprising, when police fired on children and students who were protesting. I was part of the group of interns who volunteered to treat them. (Africa Quotes)
This is my favourite thing about being raised in Africa: we don’t do labels very well; we don’t do this, ‘Oh, you’re a Democrat; oh, you’re a Republican.’ Because we live in the real world. (Africa Quotes)
Personally, I believe in self-determination, but in the context of one South Africa - so that my self-determination is based in this region, and with my people. (Africa Quotes)
I belong in America more than South Africa. I can’t remember the feeling of living there anymore. It’s like it was in another life. That’s sad in a way. It is my country. It’s where I grew up. You don’t know what it’s like to have these negative feelings about your homeland. There are roots you can’t escape. (Africa Quotes)
Some taxpayers may object to a print journalism bailout on the grounds that it mostly benefits the liberal elite. And we can’t blame taxpayers for being reluctant to subsidize the reportorial careers of J-school twerps who should have joined the Peace Corps and gone to Africa to ‘speak truth to power’ to Robert Mugabe. (Africa Quotes)
Building capacities for the young generation is going to make a better generation and a better future tomorrow for Africa. (Africa Quotes)
If economic progress is not translated into better quality of life and respect for citizens’ rights, we will witness more Tahrir Squares in Africa. (Africa Quotes)
I started out doing something little. I went to Africa to spend five weeks putting roofs on a building. I seen the small child that stepped on a land mine. Three months later, I’m back helping pull the land mines out. Little things just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. (Africa Quotes)
The very first role I ever played was as a 17-year old South African girl who dreamed of being a star and left home to meet her mother in the big city so that she could pursue that dream. I left South Africa and met my mother in Vancouver and not long after that was given the opportunity to perform on the stage and have people chant my name. (Africa Quotes)
I think South Africa has shown it can host such a big event as the World Cup, so why not hold the Olympics at some point in Africa? Maybe not just in one country but in a host of countries. (Africa Quotes)
