To remember Africa's true greatness: Mmatshilo Motsei at TEDxStellenbosch

At TEDxStellenbosch 2012, Mmatshilo Motsei gives a powerful talk, asking some fundamental questions about Africa and the liberation of oneself. She speaks about African women, leadership, medicine, our relationship with the environment, and the importance of oneness, mutual dependance, and generational equality for sustainability. She calls for an end to Africa's "colonial hangover" and to embrace what the continent has always had to offer. Mmatshilo is a poet and spiritualist. She founded Afrika Ikalafe, an institute that specializes in personal and societal transformation that is founded on African spiritual principles. She is the author of The Kanga And The Kangaroo Court and Hearing Visions Seeing Voices. About TEDx: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
