Short clip: Zahir Dharamshi talk on and home

Description

Zahir Dharamshi talks about how Wales is his home and Uganda is his spiritual home.
“And my fervent wish is that we when I die, I want to be buried in Wales. But I want my soul to go back to Africa because that is where it belongs.
Been here 50 odd years, I'm a Welshman, I will never be a naturalized Welshman, obviously, because I was not born in Wales. But Cardiff is my home. Wales is my country. And it always will be. Africa is my... or Uganda... Africa, Africa is a continent obviously. Uganda is my country, but that is my spiritual home. I'm a Welshman, if you like, living in Wales, I've been here for 50 odd years, and I'm passionate about Wales as well. I think it is, it is a beautiful, beautiful country. You’ve got some wonderful places, you got some wonderful food. And like I said, it is what it is, this is my home”
