Description

The seventh session of a 10 week Celebration of African Culture, held at WFA Media and Cultural Centre in Manchester between February and May 1983. Centre of stage coverage of Simon Stocker talking about sanctions.
After Simon, discussion is opened to the floor and there are questions/discussions about Shonaland and Matabeleland; the relationship between ZAPU (Zimbabwe African Peoples Union) and ZANU (Zimbabwe African National Union); the position of women; Zimbabwe's accommodation with multi-nationals and imperialism and working class credentials.
At 37 minutes, the cultural programme begins with the Liverpool group Delado, performing African singing, dancing, instrumentals and drumming in African dress. Their performance is interspersed by a young rapper who performs work on the theme of resistance - about living in UK, imperialism, love, and doing the best you can.
