However, its rich heritage helped independence to be finally achieved. The 'hard times', however, he concedes are sadly part of the history of humanity and always will be. They have been part of the author's life since he attended high school in the province of Benguela.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 2008 to 2010, he held the positions of Second Co-ordinator of the Discipline of the MPLA (People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola). He was also the Deputy Interim Co-ordinator of the Westminster Action Committee and a member of party leadership in England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, his political career started much earlier in life. From 1980 until 1990, he was a member of the OPA (Organisation of Angolan Pioneers), the youth branch of the MPLA, whilst attending school and helping his grandmother sell fuel in bottles every night at the Market Caponte which his mother founded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring this time, he made friends with several like-minded companions who, in innocence, elected the first president of Angola, Mr José Eduardo Dos Santos, in 1992. As a result, Mrs Ana Paula Dos Santos was to become the First Lady that Angola had never had before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChicamba published his first book \u003cem\u003eANGOLA Light of Poet\u003c\/em\u003e in 2014 followed by \u003cem\u003ePENXÁ VIVER Poeta\u003c\/em\u003e in 2016 and \u003cem\u003eLONDINDI Poeta\u003c\/em\u003e earlier in 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehttps: \/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCLwMh4w5FOMtsW0cv2R7AsA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicamba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786232537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786232533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grosvenor House Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Chicamba","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217550291199,"sku":"9781786232533","price":11.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d84a684-74c5-4235-abb5-21f695119a64.jpg?v=1771997938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/angola-chicamba-9781786232533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
