This paper seeks to analyze the role of Kiswahili drama in addressing political issues that affect societies and political unity in many African countries. The study is centered on one important question: what is it that denies African countries much needed political leadership and vision to thrive? The study hypothesizes that, what Africa’s politics requires is a deliberate effort to find homegrown solutions to its elusive political unity devoid of tribalism and nepotism. To guide this study, the paper used semiotic theory by Roland Barthes.  The Barthes codes we applied are: semantic code, action code and symbolic code. To realize the objective of this discussion, we interpreted signs and symbolism in the Kiswahili play entitled Visiki by Khaemba Ongeti (1996). The discussion in this paper concedes that, it is no longer tenable for African countries to rely on the historical narratives like the Nile River Civilization era. The way forward is for Africa to develop proper systems of education and embrace technological innovations. The paper argues that, Africa needs to devise development ideas and strategy that incorporates the unity of her diversified populations and resources. The thesis of the study is that, the continent can no longer afford to cry victim of Western ideological derailments. Rather, Africa requires technological orientations in its politics that is unique to her needs.
