Holding onto a rich African identity

Yes this is it. It is so pleasing to read Sarudzayi's interview and I am happy for her achievement so far and the effort she is making in ensuring that the African child in the diaspora is linked to his own cultural setting. Often most – even us adults – should be on guard against loosing our African identity, which is so rich. Its not that other cultures are not good for us but at least writing stories/books based on our experiences and backgrounds will also be a source of great joy to other cultures. I have also been writing short pieces about how Zimbabweans endured their life in 2008, the worst year for Zimbabweans in living memory, the hunger,violence,hopelessness and being reduced to beggars almost to the extent of scavenging. I feel these are the type of experiences that should be read by our children so that they will work hard for a better future tomorrow. As a matter of interest how can I get hold of Sarudzayi via e-mail, I would also love to read one of her books.
