THABO MBEKI’S NIGERIAN ODYSSEY — (1977)
- Mark Gevisser
I
“After being deported from Swaziland in 1976, Thabo Mbeki was posted to Lagos as the African National Congress’s first representative to Nigeria. When he arrived, in January 1977, the city was even more turbulent than usual: traffic-choked with the gluttony of the oil boom, frenetic with the preparations for a huge international arts festival, fired up by the Soweto uprising down south, and edgy with its own student protests following the murder of the wildly popular head of state, General Murtala Mohammed. Murtala’s successor, war hero Olusegun Obasanjo, promised to return Nigeria to democracy after a decade of coups and kleptocracy. His plan was to use the country’s oil dollars to transform it into the epicenter of the black world, the moral and cultural leader of the continent. A major part of this was the sponsorship of “pan-African” cultural and political activities — and foremost among these, of course, was support for the anti-apartheid struggle.”
II
“Mbeki was pleased to discover Baba Gana Kingibe, an old [University of] Sussex classmate, working as a political aide to Obasanjo. Zanele Mbeki spent much of 1977 in Lagos with her husband, and the couple hit it off immediately with the Kingibe family; Kingibe has fond, strong memories of Zanele in his kitchen, learning the art of Nigerian cuisine, and of Thabo Mbeki disappearing enthusiastically into the turmoil of Lagos and returning, exhausted and sated, in the evening. But Kingibe warned Mbeki that the odds were against his [diplomatic] mission [in Nigeria]: The ANC seemed “too soft” to a country aroused by the battle cries of Soweto. Malebo Kotu-Rammopo, a South African exile from a PAC [Pan Africanist Congress] family then studying law in Lagos, was struck by the new ANC [African National Congress] representative’s gravitas: “My overwhelming impression of him was of a young person with a tremendous load on his shoulders, surrounded by older people. Expectations of him were so high.” This was all the more so because of the intensity of anti-apartheid sentiment in Nigeria, which developed the only popular international solidarity movement [in support of Black South Africans] on the continent, akin to that in Sweden and the Netherlands. Obasanjo had initiated a South African Relief Fund, to which every Nigerian was encouraged to contribute. Civil servants willingly had contributions, known popularly as the Mandela Tax, debited from their monthly paychecks, and every second song on the radio [in Nigeria in the late 1970s] seemed to refer to Nelson or Winnie Mandela.”
III
“By the late 1970s, almost all student activism at Nigerian universities focused on the anti-apartheid movement, and much of Mbeki’s work was on campuses across the country. Of course, these young Nigerians were by no means free themselves: The military regime banned all local politics. So there was an edge to anti-apartheid activism not to be found in Western Europe: Nigerians expressed their own political aspirations through the proxy of the South African struggle. As G. G. Darah, the Nigerian critic and editor, puts it, “The explosion in Soweto also exploded something in our hearts.””
IV
“In August 1977 Obasanjo opened the UN Conference Against Apartheid, the largest global gathering yet of its kind. His aim was an enforced arms embargo on South Africa that, three months later, would be ratified by the UN General Assembly: Following Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko’s
death in detention in September 1977, even South Africa’s traditional allies on the Security Council capitulated. By the role it played in the process, Nigeria reaffirmed “its total commitment to our cause,” Mbeki wrote anonymously in the ANC journal Sechaba: “Our struggle is theirs.””

It is only evil minds that will not acknowledge that God has used me for good despite imperfections between 2006 and 2009. I was saved — depressed after I realized I was stuck in a bad marriage sharing a wife with toxic wood — by the pastors at The Father’s House. I never relapsed after prayers by Pastor Dave Patterson and Raymond Beatty who will contest for Vacaville City Council. Obama Yellow. Barry Did You not Jack Off at some point in your life?
