The “Pearl of Africa” is falling again
At the start of the
20th century, Winston Churchill baptized Uganda as the
“Pearl of Africa” because of its fertile soils, great system of
lakes and waterways, green topography, mild weather and the
entrepreneurial quality and beauty of its people. He was struck by
the vitality, eagerness and intelligence of Ugandans. British
visitors to Africa were urged to stop in Uganda to enjoy its
ecological and human beauty.
