This beautifully designed book brings together Kok Nam’s photos as
well as tributes to Machel and quotations from his own speeches,
reminding us of the power of his oratory and the depth of his
commitment to a free, democratic and just Mozambique. As Machel
said: “Our goal is not to be the African country which is less
corrupt than the others, but to eliminate corruption by the roots.”
The 29th September 2018 is the 85th anniversary of the birth of
Machel. This book is an appropriate and timely tribute to the man
and a reminder of the values he espoused in leading the struggle
for true liberation in his own country – values which are just as
applicable in South Africa today. As Albie Sachs says in his
introductory essay: “The humane revolutionary spirit of Samora,
evidenced in this beautifully composed book, speaks to us in
Southern Africa with undiminished appeal. And Kok Nam’s pictures,
intimate yet non-intrusive, accompany the words in eloquent
symbiosis.” “Samora had an extraordinary capacity to communicate:
with his tone of voice, with his hands, with his eyes, and even
with the movements of his body. Kok Nam captured exceptionally well
in photographs one of the moments in which his body, the expression
on his face and particularly his eyes show a calm Samora but with a
restless spirit, shades of colour shining in his gaze, which speaks
volumes of the perspicacity of an always restless mind. This photo
is more than an image. It leads us to catch and to understand much
of the ‘I’ of Samora.” – Graça Machel
