The Endless Journey: from a Liberation Struggle to Driving Emerging Technologies in Africa
Jabulani Simbini Dhliwayo
The Endless Journey is a story of one man?s personal journey from a revolutionary to a renowned ICT professional. It is written with great honesty, incorporating pathos and humour intended to ease some of the heart-breaking and chilling accounts. It is an interesting perspective of a slice of African history that has seldom been recorded particularly in such a personal way. The book elaborates the author?s life as a poor black man in racial segregated Rhodesia and his subsequent journey from Rhodesia to join Robert Mugabe?s liberation movement in Mozambique. While in Mozambique, he lived in the so called refugee camps which were constantly under attack by the Rhodesians resulting in the death of his sister and thousands of others. When it was decided that the author would have to swap weapons for books, he ended up in Sierra Leone where he graduated with a B. Sc degree in Physics and went back to Zimbabwe. Circumstances in Zimbabwe that saw the deterioration of the country a decade after independence - with inflations of up to 80% - drove Jabulani to live overseas from where he supported Africa?s development primarily through advocacy of the adoption of modern Information and Communications Technologies (ICT).
