Understanding this quote
The speaker says that their dedication to South Africa’s liberation does not depend on their physical location. Being elsewhere does not lessen or end that commitment. The statement separates a person’s place from the cause they support: distance changes where they are, but not their stated dedication to the people’s freedom.
