"Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" producer Anant Singh has congratulated rock band U2 for its win at the Golden Globe awards over the weekend.

As Africans we can speak for ourselves. We can make our own decisions and correct them if need be, but please don’t patronise us, writes Sipho Moyo.

Because the U2 frontman and others like him are seen as representatives of the poor, the poor are not invited to speak, writes George Monbiot.
