We are inspired by positive narratives about our beloved continent because We are African to the core as expressed by Chimamanda, “I realized that I was African when I came to the United States. Whenever Africa came up in my college classes, everyone turned to me. It didn't matter whether the subject was Namibia or Egypt; I was expected to know, to explain.” -Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Our SADC Heads of State, we need to intensify formal demands for our lost heritage and remains of our ancestors currently held by foreign museums. Let's raise awareness among all citizens that heritage restitution is a way of redressing and correcting a distorted history of our beloved African continent.
