Foreword

We are now ready to release issue 60 of African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development (AJFAND). Let me start by apologising, particularly to the authors for the late release which was occasioned by serious illness in the secretariat.  We thank God that is now behind us as we head to closing year 2013. It has been quite a year.  In this issue, we are honouring number one icon of all time, late President of South Africa Nelson Mandela; we are carrying some very important reprints and announcements which some of you might find interesting; we are sharing World Food Prize speeches and articles; and a World Food Day speech for young people by Ambassador Kenneth Quinn, Chief Executive of the World Food Prize Foundation; we have a number of other eulogies of colleagues and friends (Dr Joe Hulse, a leading food scientist and humanitarian, and Prof Nimrod Bwibo, a natable university administrator in Kenya and paediatrian who uniquely supported nutrition and particularly child nutrition and health), there are announcements of important upcoming events; we have profiles of those reviewers who continue to serve the journal with dedication; and  finally, and at the core of this journal, we have 16 interesting and well reviewed manuscripts. ......

I hate race discrimination most intensely and in all its manifestations. I have fought it all during my life; I fight it now, and will do so until the end of my days.
