At SOMAFCO, as the book shows, history of the struggle and a historical view of South Africa and South Africa in Africa were at the heart of the curriculum. Some are still there, living witnesses to South Africa's solidarity with the people of Africa. Another of the lessons of exile was that issues that affected Africa and South Africa were not concerns of Africans and South Africans alone. [highlighted result]
