“MBEKI Pierre, born in 1905, Scotland.
MANDELA Giovanna Rosaria l, born in the 1800s, Italy.
ZUMA Andreas, born in 1750, Pologne.
TWALO July, born in 1850, USA.
MALEMA Jannis, born in 1750, Latvia.

These are Surnames of key people in Africa. But they are also a few examples of how people really received their Surnames in Africa ...through colonisation.”
Mitta Xinindlu

Zadie Smith
“Mrs Touchet had a theory. England was not a real place at all. England was an elaborate alibi. Nothing real happened in England. Only dinner parties and boarding schools and bankruptcies. Everything else, everything the English really did and really wanted, everything they desired and took and used and discarded – all of that they did elsewhere.”
Zadie Smith, The Fraud
