It’s a privilege to serve the poor, to be servants of noble Africans, but I better belong in the rehearsal room or in the studio with my band. That’s where I want to be and I still wake up in the morning with melodies in my head Picture Quote #1

Those South Africans who berate me for being loyal to our friends, literally they can go and throw themselves into a pool. I am not going to betray the trust of those who helped us Picture Quote #1

Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity’s belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul, and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all Picture Quote #1

A group of white South Africans recently killed a black lawyer because he was black. That was wrong. They should have killed him because he was a lawyer Picture Quote #1

Africans believed that the woman’s bare breast represented God, the circle of life and the moral cleanliness of human beings Picture Quote #1

In the 1940s, traveling for an African was a complicated process. All Africans over the age of sixteen were compelled to carry ‘Native passes’ issued by the Native Affairs Department and were required to show that pass to any white policeman, civil servant, or employer. Failure to do so could mean arrest, trial, a jail sentence or fine Picture Quote #1

It would be good for us Africans to accept ourselves as we are and recapture some of the positive aspects of our culture Picture Quote #1

Many Africans succumb to the idea that they can’t do things because of what society says. Images of Africa are negative - war, corruption, poverty. We need to be proud of our culture Picture Quote #1

Writing about Africa by Africans has been part of my literary apprenticeship, standing alongside works by authors such as Joseph Conrad, Joyce Cary and Graham Greene as influences Picture Quote #1

Development aid is one of the reasons for Africa’s problems. If the West were to cancel these payments, normal Africans wouldn’t even notice. Only the functionaries would be hard hit. Which is why they maintain that the world would stop turning without this development aid Picture Quote #1

When we play at the World Cup, any African will back any African team. Because we want to hear the different approach to African football. We want to hear that Africans can do well, and Africans do well Picture Quote #1

Unlike their Western counterparts, Africans take elections very seriously - rising up early to queue patiently in line for hours under the hot sun and cast their ballots. Any misguided attempt to nullify or steal their votes will evoke a strong reaction from them Picture Quote #1

On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education Picture Quote #1

I don’t know many South Africans who don’t have their eyes wide open to what it’s like to be exposed to some sort of violence. The question is whether we choose to be cynical about it or not Picture Quote #1

I realized quickly what Mandela and Tambo meant to ordinary Africans. It was a place where they could come and find a sympathetic ear and a competent ally, a place where they would not be either turned away or cheated, a place where they might actually feel proud to be represented by men of their own skin color Picture Quote #1

From the beginning, Mandela and Tambo was besieged with clients. We were not the only African lawyers in South Africa, but we were the only firm of African lawyers. For Africans, we were the firm of first choice and last resort Picture Quote #1

No one in my family had ever attended school [...] On the first day of school my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education. That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson. Why this particular name I have no idea Picture Quote #1

The only violence was when these so-called ‘freedom fighters’ terrorized the poor Africans in the villages... They were told what to do and who to support Picture Quote #1

I think Africans are very much like white people back home, in that they think they are the center of the universe and that everything that is done is done for them Picture Quote #1

Do not be naive. AIDS is not a curse from God to Africans or the black people. It is a tool to control them designed by some evil-minded scientists, but we may not know who particularly did it Picture Quote #1

Although native Africans domesticated some plants in the Sahel and in Ethiopia and in tropical West Africa, they acquired valuable domestic animals only later, from the north Picture Quote #1

It invites a search for ultimate causes: why were Europeans, rather than Africans or Native Americans, the ones to end up with guns, the nastiest germs, and steel? Picture Quote #1
