Is Sankarism alive in Zimbabwe politics?
Thomas Isidore Noel Sankara (1949–1987) was one of the world’s most prominent pan-African socialist revolutionaries.
He was a military captain and a president, an unapologetic anti-imperialist, a critic of patriarchy and a partner in the “total emancipation” of women, a formidable and often amusing orator, and a humble but resolved human committed to the co-creation of a more just world.
In the early 1980s, he undertook a grounded, applied, and radical approach for the total transformation of the State for the well-being of the people of Burkina Faso.1 Sankara was also distinctive for his revolution’s—the August Revolution—successes, including achievements in food self-reliance, the importance given to ecological balance and reforestation, rapid infrastruc- tural achievements, and advances in healthcare. ***Audio states 2020 this is an error production done 2021
