We started Makutano with an aim to bring forth views, opinions and stories about Africa that traditional media tend to ignore. Of late however, we seem to have largely become more politically inclined, with all the hullabaloo about Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe. What else is there in Africa to talk about?
The front page of The Times (South Africa) today, boldly carries a picture of Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai shaking hands beneath the headline 'Hope'. Just yesterday, I read a post on a friend's blog with the same title. Who says this is the continent with no hope?
Perusing the online edition of The Times this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find an article expressing much of the concerns that drove us to initiate this blog. Read it here.
