The End of an Era - Straight Talk Africa

In an exclusive interview to Straight Talk Africa, Zambia’s founding father Kenneth Kaunda talks about how some of the key leaders of his generation looked at Africa through a lens that had neither borders, nor boundaries.

Mwenda, Professor of Law, University of Pretoria, South Africa, Nii Akuetteh, Ghanaian Policy Analyst and Activist and Sishuwa Sishuwa , Zambian political analyst to talk about the political realities that are unraveling in the Continent and examine whether we will be witnessing the emergence of a new generation of political leaders.

When I go to Africa, I notice that the people who I talk to, seem to be much more aware of Politics in America than many of my American friends.

I am aware of the possibility of upraising from the loss of white privilege and entitlements. I have ninety-plus-years of experience with racism in America.

But why are our African leaders ' achievements so short lived?

African freedom fighters all made one mistake: didn't leave the stage while people were still clapping but got carried away by trappings of power
