Mbuya Nehanda struggled and lived a poor life for us to have peace and prosperity. She had a calling, she had a gift and she didn’t choose to live for herself but for the nation to have freedom. She is dead but her spirit lives on, her memories in our minds and we are walking upon her footprints fulfilling her wishes of being independent.
The New And Old Footprints
We are walking upon the forefather’s footprints and as the new generation, we forgetting our history and not following our culture and traditions. We are now living a new modern life. We are experiencing the brighter side of life represented by the colourful footprints on the painting. Our ancestor’s footprints are represented by the brown dark footprints in the painting. We are now living in different times and are influenced by technology.
