Nomatemba Tambo: Africa’s Wealth Must Serve Africa

As part of the build-up to the Russia–Africa Summit in St. Petersburg, Nomatemba Tambo—South African diplomat and daughter of legendary anti-apartheid leaders Oliver and Adelaide Tambo—joins RT in an exclusive interview produced in partnership with the African Legacy Foundation.

In this compelling conversation, Ambassador Tambo emphasizes the urgent need for Africa to reclaim control over its resources, stating: “Wealth generated in Africa should stay on the continent.” She explores themes of economic justice, African unity, post-colonial recovery, and the legacy of her family’s lifelong struggle for liberation.

This interview is not just a reflection on history, but a powerful vision for Africa’s economic and political future.
