The perception of Africa, whether in the U. S. or in Europe, is of a continent that needs help, and cannot pull itself up. That is just not true.
I suppose if I were younger, I would be investing in Africa.
I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills. The Equator runs across these highlands, a hundred miles to the North, and the farm lay at an altitude of over six thousand feet. In the day-time you felt that you had got high up, near to the sun, but the early mornings and evenings were limpid and restful, and the nights were cold.
America is not civil, whilst Africa is barbarous.
Most of all, I dislike this idea nowadays that if you're a black person in America, then you must be called African-American. Listen, I've visited Africa, and I've got news for everyone: I'm not an African.
Your developed countries are taking teachers from South Africa, they are taking nurses, because people are better paid where they are going.
Many people have compared me to the Victorian adventure writer, Rider Haggard. I accept that as a compliment. As a boy growing up in Central Africa I read all Haggard's African novels.
Today when we say the West we are already referring to the West and to Russia. We could use the word 'modernity' if we exclude Africa, and the Islamic world, and partially China.
This country is a nation of thieves. It stole everything it has, beginning with black people. The U. S. cannot justify its existence as the policeman of the world any longer. I do not want to be a part of the American pie. The American pie means raping South Africa, beating Vietnam, beating South America, raping the Philippines, raping every country you’ve been in. I don’t want any of your blood money. I don’t want to be part of that system. We must question whether or not we want this country to continue being the wealthiest country in the world at the price of raping everybody else.
When you're sharing a mud hole with a wildebeest derriere in sub-Saharan Africa, that's a living hell.
Perhaps it is God's will to lead the people of South Africa through defeat and humiliation to a better future and a brighter day.
For Africa to me. . . is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.
We're going to have to debunk the myth that Africa is a heaven for black people -- especially black women. We've been the mule of the world there and the mule of the world here.
Animals are so beautiful. Why does an American dentist need to go to Africa to kill them? Look, I get it. You're a hunter? Go kill a deer and eat it or a bear where there's a lot of them. But I just don't get it.
The peoples of Asia, Africa, and Latin America have common interest and are in the position to support each other in their anti-imperialist and anti-U. S. struggle. As long as Africa and Latin America are not free.
Africa is on the rise.
Being from Africa is the best thing that could have ever, ever happened to me. I cannot see it any other way. All of my fundamental principles that were instilled in me in my home, from my childhood, are still with me.
We believe that the world, too, can destroy apartheid, firstly by striking at the economy of South Africa.
It's hard to get ivory in Africa, but in Alabama the Tuscaloosa
It is not my questions that embarrass South Africa – it is your answers.
