“To Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, leadership was about service, not selfishness. He left no Swiss bank account, no hidden property, but a legacy of servant leadership and books for us to read.”- Prof. Sabatho Nyamsenda

#JNLCSymposium2026

[K.Diallo ☭ @nyeusi_waasi]

I woke up today to the sad news of Gamal Nkrumah’s passing, the son of the African revolutionary and Pan-Africanist Kwame Nkrumah, and found myself recalling the details of our last meeting in Cairo. Despite his illness, he continued to follow with keen interest the troubling developments unfolding across our African continent, deeply saddened by the state of its countries and peoples. Yet what stayed with me most was not sorrow alone, but also the hope he held on to during our conversation and his conviction that a new generation could reclaim the project of African unity and liberation. He believed that the flame of Pan-Africanism, carried forward by Nkrumah, Lumumba, Sankara, Nasser, Cabral, and other pioneers of the African struggle for unity and liberation, would never be extinguished. He never lost faith in younger generations’ ability to carry the struggle forward, not by simply reproducing the experiences of the past, but by learning from them, recognizing their mistakes, and overcoming their failures. His vision was of a united and independent Africa, free from domination and exploitation, capable of exercising its sovereignty, controlling its wealth, and shaping the future of its peoples.

Rest in power Gamal Nkrumah 🇬🇭✊🏿

#JNLCSymposium2026

[Makerere University @Makerere]

Delivering the Keynote, Professor Sabatho Nyamsenda started on a lighter note saying he notices “Nyerere is being Ugandanised” and later presented a critique of the current state of Pan-Africanism, arguing that it has been co-opted by ruling elites.

He highlighted 1960-1980 as the period when the challenges for Pan-Africanism began.

He explained that it was around this time that Pan-Africanism was snatched away from the masses and became a state project.

Currently, the ideology exists in two forms: Boardroom and Street Pan-Africanism.

Professor Nyamsenda joined Mwalimu and urged the youth to consider leading the struggle for a better Africa.

"....Mamdani's message is clear and uncomfortable. Ending violence without restoring legitimacy does not bring peace - it only delays the next crisis. Real peace requires rebuilding the relationship between state and society, not just managing conflict." ~ Abdul Mohamed

A bicycle-friendly city is a place where cycling is safe, convenient, and accessible for everyone.

UN-Habitat works with governments and communities to create cities come up with plans for non-motorized transportation, put into action bicycle masterplans.

[Richard Mabala @MabalaMakengeza]

The logic of repression continues. If you use violence to silence 1 person whose ideas/words they don't like, at least 10 people will be affected and angered. So now you have to deal with 10 people and if you use violence against them, then you will have to deal with 100 people
