Congratulations on your tenth anniversary! May you continue to fight the good fight.

It was my absolute delight to discover Pambazuka News about three years ago. I subscribe to the Green Left Weekly, an Australian newspaper which has similar aims as Pambazuka at a local and international level. They had published one of your articles and I decided to investigate. This proved to be one of the best decisions I made. I have since introduced your e-paper to many relatives, friends and colleagues.

Pambazuka shines a light on the stultifying darkness that overwhelmingly shrouds the perceptions of many in the West for whom Africa, the continent, is still regarded as one homogeneous basket-case; forever defined by its poverty, wars and its animals, just waiting for others to save it from itself. Through the platform of Pambazuka, this premise has been well and truly debunked. You have given voice to the vibrant and engaged people of Africa and its diaspora; people who are passionate about pursuing justice and exposing the corrupt parasites who continue to infect and pollute this continent.

On a personal note, thank you for publishing my contributions. I have no hesitation in paying the small amount requested if it facilitates Pambazuka in continuing its fight for justice and equality.

Amandla!
