Mafia gwala biography pdf: mafia' of armed 'businessmen'

Post a Comment. Mafika Gwala, the recently departed South African writer, was one of the most important black poets churned out in the 60s and 70s. His name was synonymous with the era of Black Consciousness - epitomised by Steve Biko - a rousing clarion call of many black intellectuals. Gwala over the years would go on to publish a fair amount of poetry embodying his vision and commitment.

Gwala was a teacher, mentor, a Zulu purist, researcher and idealist. He lived to see the free South Africa he had dreamed of in his youth. Ironically, the media fraternity has been excited about latest rounds of several memorial events to mark Black Consciousness leader the late Steve Biko. Obviously when September month begins in South Africa many people are enormously concerned about the commemoration of the life time of Mr Biko.

Biko and other prominent leaders of Black Consciousness movement were on the mission to bring about consciousness among the stigmatize, marginalize and oppressed majority of black people. At the time their activities were viewed as a menace to white minority rule. Therefore, during the September month usually South Africans, Africans throughout the continent and abroad proudly delight themselves to give their earnest attention in celebrating the dramatic life time of Steve Biko.
