In the spirit of Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, which examined a turbulent time in Africa’s history, Things Come Together grapples with modern challenges and seeks to bring hope for the continent’s future. The book traverses a wide range of perspectives, from the scientific to the artistic, the physical to the sociological, political, economic, and metaphysical. Heeding Einstein’s observation that problems cannot be solved with the same mindset that created them, Mzwandile Mbatha offers thoughtful analysis of varied issues, as well as potential solutions leading to prosperity and progress. Things Come Together sends an uplifting message that, through understanding and innovation, Africa can overcome obstacles and thrive and prosper. The book aims to inspire readers to be part of positive change.
