On th contrary our challenge
as African people is to uphold a
tradition of justice, righteous­
ness and genuine humanity/hu­
manism which is deeply rooted
in the African Personality.
As we struggle for African lib­
eration I believe that it is im­
perative that we uphold the
moral and ethical principl that
are inherent in the concept of
Mast and th traditional way of
life' of African people. We must
