In 1976 my late father Ben Matogo lived in Zambia. He was in exile and was joined by Eriya Kategaya, Samwiri Karugire, Edward Rugumayo and other highbrow exiles who were part of an intellectual vanguard committed to overthrowing Idi Amin.
These Ugandan exiles were adherents of Ghanaian leader Kwame Nkrumah. A leader who believed that “the majority of the people,” in any movement, understood only action.
So my father and his colleagues’ mission, then, was to give intellectual expression to such action.
To serve as ground breakers for the practical implementation of what they, in echo of Nkrumah, called positive action.
