Africa Freedom Day: Documenting the Journey of a War Veteran and Freedom Fighter

Happy Africa Freedom Day! In this exhilarating episode commemorating Africa Freedom Day, the A4D Team recounts our remarkable interviews with two extraordinary individuals: Pvt. Moboola, a valiant soldier from World War II, and Ambassador Ngalande, a fearless freedom fighter who later rose to prominence as a diplomat. As we reflect on the past, we ponder the question: Can we maintain a strong connection to our history while confronting the challenges of the present day? With the recent passing of Pvt. Moboola, who was 99 years old at the time of our interview, these conversations serve as invaluable time capsules for both current and future generations. Furthermore, we engage in a thought-provoking discussion amongst ourselves: Can we take pride in our African identity today? Join us as we explore these themes and celebrate the resilience and heritage of Africa on this momentous occasion.
