Swaziland is a small part of south-east Africa, the last country in the continent to gain its independence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The U.S. is the last country that should see itself as an ally of the apartheid system.
For all its problems, I found South Africa a beautiful country, interesting and inspiring.
South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white.
But since independence, Gabon is one of the few countries in Central Africa that enjoys peace and stability.
Africa is no more this poor continent. It's on the march.
Africa is a continent that provides so much for the existence of the rest of the world. We go around the world and cultivate so many things.
In May 1961, South Africa was to be declared a Nationalist Republic. There was a white referendum, but no African was consulted.
The painful truth may be that Zimbabwe, the youngest of Africa's former colonies, has simply followed where the continent has led, treading the well-worn path beaten out of the lie that taking power from the colonialists and delivering democracy to the people are one and the same.
Now, of course, we know there has been an end to apartheid in South Africa, but what excited me was seeing it in the context of history.
South Africa is a whole other world. I went to grade school there and high school in Johannesburg, and before that, my family lived in Kenya in Nairobi where my brother was actually born, and my sister was born in Capetown. I spent the first 10 years of my life in South Africa.
