@africamuseumbe @mcndakar What on earth is a ‘Bantu (sic) exhibition’? The affinity that Belgians have for the category of ‘Bantu’ is part of its deep, unruptured colonial legacy. What an embarrassing shame!

7 years after my dad, my mum Biddy Crowe Rassool, died in Cape Town this morning. Daughter of communist, Dan Crowe, as a child, she sat on the knee of her dad’s comrade Moses Kotane. She was a jazz singer in Cape Town in the 1950s. She taught us so much about Ubuntu & to be free.
