Memories of Africa: Events Experienced in Southern Africa

By: Robert Mazibuko

The teaching of the Baha'i Faith in Southern Africa continued regardless of the fact that we were in fear that growth might have been arrested, for a time, if the pioneers were to be sent out of the country. We were not a contra culture, but a culture that grew in friendship and peace among the Baha'is as they came out of obscurity in the mid-eighties. This story is about those times and the memories that were etched in our minds. If we forgot such memories, we would have forgotten ourselves. We are awed by the audacity of the early believers in teaching their Faith and their steadfastness in pursuing life according to Baha'i ideals.
