Description

Today is Sunday the 31st of January 2021 today we talk on Amilcar Cabral and how his Social Political thought in relation to Zimbabwe permeates or lack thereof.

Born in 1924 in the territory of what is now Guinea-Bissau, Comrade Cabral

engaged in opposition movements that sought to bring down the Salazar dictatorship and kept up with the events that heralded the arrival of a postcolonial world, including the independence of India in 1947 and the Chinese Revolution in 1949. It was only in the 1950s that African political activities began playing a greater role in his life.

Cabral was assassinated in January 1973 under circumstances that have never been fully clarified, and he witnessed neither Guinea-Bissau’s declaration of independence nor the fall of the longest-standing European colonial empire, marked by the Portuguese Revolution on April 25, 1974.

A revolutionary to the bone; we at the Revolutionary Star today pay homage to him as we reflect on ourselves as Zimbabweans. **Audio states 2020 as produced however this is an error its 2021
