This week on the podcast we are talking about something that most Africans can identify with but isn’t something we have constructively delved into to understand what it actually means. We are talking about Pan-Africanism. That spirit, that ideology, that brings Africans together. But truly does pan-africanism do that? Should Pan-Africanism be glorified given the many challenges the continent faces. It sounds ideal to say Africans should come together for one big purpose given that we share many challenges but the question is does that spirit of pan-Africanism lead to any change at all?
Isaac Mutemi is a Kenyan public policy analyst who joins me this week to discuss the topic. It is fair to say Isaac does not really hold Pan-Africanism in high esteem but before you raise your guns at him, maybe you should hear his argument. This conversation takes a lot of detours as we chat so brace yourself for a good history lesson. This episode will be in two parts so do make sure you follow up next week for part 2. Enjoy.
