Ndumba Kamwanyah: The fall and fall of African liberation movements
July 28, 2025
President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has just returned from the Liberation Movements Summit held in South Africa over the weekend, where several former revolutionary parties gathered.

To help us unpack these questions, we’re joined by political analyst Ndumba Kamwanyah.
