The slogan "From Cape to Cairo" appeared at the turn of the 20th century as an expression of the desire to expand and strengthen the British colonial rule in Africa. But these plans collided with a wave of independence, which was on the contrary, from the north of the continent to its south.

This book, written by a man who himself took 33 years to get from Cairo to Cape Town, is an attempt to tell how Africa has changed over several decades, what role our country played in this.
