I knew them in all that they were doing before the Rawlings PNDC government lifted the ban on partisan politics on May 18, 1992, when the DBC metamorphosed into the NPP with a history closely tied to Manhyia.
Friends, there is a lot that we don’t talk about; but when push comes to shove, we will.
I haven’t been bothered by vain threats from those thinking that by making connections between the NPP and Manhyia, I have sought to undermine the Asantehene.
I remember very well when I wrote an article discussing why the NPP would demonstrate in Kumasi after rejecting the outcome of Election 2012 and want to deliver its petition to the Asantehene.

Battle, Michael. Desmond Tutu: A Spiritual Biography of South Africa's Confessor. Westminster John Knox Press, 2021.
The first biography of its kind about Desmond Tutu, this book introduces readers to Tutu's spiritual life and examines how it shaped his commitment to restorative justice and reconciliation. Desmond Tutu was a pivotal leader of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and remains a beloved and important emblem of peace and justice around the world. Even those who do not know the major events of Tutu's life - receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, serving as the first black archbishop of Cape Town and primate of Southern Africa from1986-1996, and chairing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission from 1995-1998 -recognize him as a charismatic political and religious leader who helped facilitate the liberation of oppressed peoples from the ravages of colonialism. But the inner landscape of Tutu's spirituality, the mystical grounding that spurred his outward accomplishments, often goes unseen. Rather than recount his entire life story, this book explores Tutu's spiritual life and contemplative practices-particularly Tutu's understanding of Ubuntu theology, which emphasizes finding one's identi
