In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, we explore the turbulent stages of Africa’s decolonization in the 1970s and 1980s. As the winds of change swept across the continent, former Portuguese colonies like Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, and Cape Verde fought brutal wars for independence, while Southern Africa became the last battleground against white minority rule.

In this episode of “Lumumba’s Africa,” Professor P.L.O. Lumumba explores the historical significance of the African continent, which was the cradle of some of the greatest empires, including the Egyptian, Songhai, Benin, and Yoruba empires, among others across the Mother Continent. While these civilizations flourished, they suffered devastating impacts due to slavery and colonization. However, some of these kingdoms, such as the Zulu Kingdom, Oyo, and the Waganda Kingdom, still exist today. The professor emphasizes the importance of keeping the legacies of African kingdoms alive through discussion and storytelling, as this will help unite Africa and contribute to a brighter future for the continent.

How do you envision the Africa of tomorrow? Will it always dwell in the shadow of the former colonizers, or will it rise to a glory that will humble the powers that be? In this episode of “Lumumba’s Africa” Professor P.L.O. Lumumba brings viewers his vision of the Mother Continent in the future: the Africa that is for our grandkids.

In the latest episode of ‘Lumumba’s Africa’, Professor PLO Lumumba tackles the critical problem of poaching. For many years, the rich diversity of wildlife in Africa has faced severe threats from rampant poachers operating in various regions across the continent. Africa is a home for its Big Five, all of which fall victim to the self-serving actions of hunters. Professor Lumumba examines the ways in which hunting can be regulated in a way that is essential for the preservation of the abundant wildlife of the Mother Continent.

Today, the education system in Africa, influenced by its colonial past, requires a thorough re-examination. The education received across the continent has produced mixed benefits and calls for a united effort to reclaim Africa’s narrative and redefine its future. What measures can be taken to re-educate the African population? How can the continent rise to become the next industrial leader, excelling in sectors such as industry, space, and information technology in today’s world? These pressing questions find their answers in the reflections of Professor PLO Lumumba in the latest episode of ‘Lumumba’s Africa’.
