Tumetenga ( We have Set Aside :-Fake Chronicles)
Poetry as a Weapon. Poetry as Witness. Poetry as Survival. Poetry as vision for Africa's political salvation. In this landmark anthology, over fifty poets from across Africa—including Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Cameroon, and Zimbabwe—bear witness to a continent at a crossroads. With unflinching honesty and breathtaking artistry, they expose electoral betrayal, dictatorship, corruption, police brutality, abduction, and the quiet suffocation of dissent.
But these poems do not stop at despair. They envision Pan-African unity. They demand accountability. They insist on the possibility of a new dawn.
