Some of the strategies used by South Africans in the fight were borrowed from the Mau Mau. Mr Mbeki will be in Kenya on April 28 to attend the sixth graduation of Dedan Kimathi University of Technology. Mau Mau inspired the Africa National Congress in its struggle against racial discrimination. When he was released from jail, anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela visited the widow of Mau Mau leader Dedan Kimathi to honour the family. The entire effort was reminiscent of the spirit which guided them to wedge the Mau Mau war of independence, against Britain colonialism.
