Uhuru Dempers on reparations discussions in Zimbabwe
March 26, 2025
We were joined by Uhuru Dempers, a Namibian activist who’s fought for reparative justice since the 2000s, notably shaping the 2021 deal where Germany pledged €1.1 billion for the Herero-Nama genocide.
Last week, he spoke at Zimbabwe’s Reparations Summit in Harare, hosted by Christian Aid and the Zimbabwe Council of Churches, tackling colonial legacies and climate debts.
With Zimbabwe pushing for land and climate reparations amidst its complex history, let’s get Dempers’ take on what this means for Africa’s justice fight.
