My book in the @guardian today:
"Chasing Freedom is an elegant exploration of how political liberation does not always bring freedom for oneself... It asks what it means to stand up to the past without being trapped by it"

It doesn't happen instantly, I know someone who left his wife and 3 kids, went build a house for the side chick, married her in sham wedding that's null and void but they didn't know it was 😂 bought side a car, paid fees for her kids, resigned and they chowed money together, money got finished and side chased him out, he now has no car and no house and no job, the karma happened after 8 years.
Let’s set aside, for a moment, the debates about how the Mugabe children were socialised, their unchecked privilege or what they may have been exposed to growing up.
This latest shooting tragedy is a sobering reminder that there’s a rapist, murderer, deadbeat, criminal, drug & alcohol addict and delinquent in all our children; in particular our sons. By all I mean yours and mine. For it will take one incident for that switch to flick to unleash the monster.
And that no matter how well or unwell we raise them, no matter how stern we are on instilling good values, no matter how staunch we are on discipline, children will ultimately become people of their own choosing.
Which is why parenting demands both vigilance, empathy, intense humility and shit loads of prayer.
May the universe be kind to our children. May they in turn be kind to themselves and the world around them.
And may God bless our children.

I think non-african leftist truly underestimate the greed of the African bourgeoisie, One of the reasons many african countries including Congo are where they are
The bourgeoisie and political elite sold out their homeland to imperialism and it wouldn’t take a lot to do it again
