Elon Musk was born in 1971 in Johannesburg, South Africa, and raised in a wealthy family under the country's racist apartheid laws. Musk's family history reveals ties to apartheid and neo-Nazi politics. We speak with Chris McGreal, reporter for The Guardian, to understand how Musk's upbringing shaped his worldview, as well as that of his South African-raised colleague Peter Thiel, a right-wing billionaire who co-founded PayPal alongside Musk. "Musk lived what can only be described as a neocolonial life," said McGreal. "If you were a white South African in that period and you had any money at all, you lived with servants at your beck and call."

This is a 1987 video that Oral Ofori added voiceover to in April 2020. Ama Ata Aidoo, née Christina Ama Aidoo was born 23 March 1942. She is a Ghanaian author, poet, playwright and academic..She was the Minister of Education under the Jerry Rawlings administration.

In 2000, she established the Mbaasem Foundation to promote and support the work of African women writers..Aidoo's works of fiction particularly deal with the tension between Western and African world views. Her first novel, Our Sister Killjoy, was published in 1977 and remains one of her most popular works.

Many of Aidoo's protagonists are women who defy the stereotypical women's roles of their time, as in her play Anowa..Her novel Changes won the 1992 Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best Book (Africa).

She is also an accomplished poet—her collection Someone Talking to Sometime won the Nelson Mandela Prize for Poetry in 1987 — and has written several children's books.Visit https://mbaasem.wordpress.com/ to learn more about her..
