Tributes to Ngugi Late Kenyan author was a great literary figure
JOHANNESBURG - Writer and activist Veli Mbele credits the late Professor Ngugi Wa Thiong'o with shaping Black Consciousness.
His book 'Decolonising The Mind, the Politics Of Language In African Literature' is a post-colonial classic.
During his imprisonment, Thiong'o decided he would never write in English again, a defiant move that helped put literature in African languages firmly on the map.
Ngugi died at the age of 87 on Wednesday, his daughter announced on Facebook.
