I heard people expressing their
dissatisfaction about the look of our new bank notes. I knew even before seeing the notes that I
would fall in love with them. I knew before
touching them that I would be honoured to carry a picture of an African leader
in my wallet. I knew I would be honoured
to carry a face of a person that had sacrificed and contributed so much towards
my liberation.
Honestly, if it were up to me, if it was
possible, I would love to carry the faces of all those people that rose against
all odds and fought for my total emancipation. I am one of those that are able to appreciate
the value of these notes, their look and feel is not relevant to me but their symbolism
means the world to me.
