When I went to live in South Africa, I immediately began to understand what went wrong. Because here was a place supposed to be under apartheid - I arrived there in 1991 - but here a black person had more say and had more influence over his white government than an average Kenyan had over the Moi government.

Living in South Africa and periodically coming back to Kenya, my relationship with officialdom in Kenya was just insane.

South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white.

There is no more apartheid in South Africa than in the United States.

Apartheid was in South Africa; now it has been transferred to Palestine.

At the time of his death, Biko had a wife and three children for which he left a letter that stated in one part: “I've devoted my life to see equality for blacks, and at the same time, I've denied the needs of my family. Please understand that I take these actions, not out of selfishness or arrogance, but to preserve a South Africa worth living in for blacks and whites.
