    About this ebook

    Cry Africa, My Motherland is a poem articulating the trauma and hardship faced by the descendants of the African continent. It is a cry for a better Africa, one that demands an end to the corruption within the leadership in different parts of the continent, due to the greed and selfishness of the African leaders. Author Mercy Maseko calls for hope through a united continent—for Africans to rewrite their history as their own liberators and leave a legacy for the coming generations.
