Anton Lembede, The founding father of African Nationalism/Africanism in occupied Azania (South Africa)...
"We believe that the national liberation of Africans will be achieved by Africans themselves. We reject foreign leadership of Africa.
We may borrow useful ideologies from foreign ideologies, but we reject the wholesale importation of foreign ideologies into Africa"
In their intellectual forum, Inkundla ya Bantu newspaper, which was edited by one of the Youth Leaguers Jordan Ngubane, Lembede wrote the following: “The African natives then live and move and have their being in the spirit of Africa, in short, they are one with Africa. It is then this spirit of Africa which is the common factor of co-operation and the basis of unity among African tribes, it is African Nationalism or Africanism. So that all Africans must be converted from tribalism into African Nationalism which is a higher step or degree of the self-expression and self-realisation of the African spirit. Africa through herspirit is using us to develop that higher quality of Africanism. We have then to go out as apostles to preach the new gospel of Africanism and to hasten and bring about the birth of a new nation. Such minor insignificant differences of languages, customs, etc. , will not hinder or stop the irresistible onward surge of the African spirit. This African spirit can realise itself through and be interpreted by Africans only. Foreigners of whatever brand and hue can never properly and correctly interpret this spirit owing to its uniqueness, peculiarity and particularity” (“National Unity Among African Tribes”, Second Fortnight, October 1945).
