Economic Ownership, Political Power and Youth in Africa

We're not struggling. Maybe what we need now

is participation and ownership of the

economy, because I think that politics is a playfield of poor people.

Real politics is economics. Those who determine the dollar, those who

determine the rand, those who hold the money,

because every gunshot,

someone is paying, someone is in the bank while Africa

is sitting at a

graveyard burying each other.

America and France and Britain are sitting in the banks

calculating their spoils of war. And I think the young people

are waking up.

Though I am passionate enough for the next five years to make sure that

their passion must not just become emotional.

You know, we must change. We must just change. Remove everyone.

We don't care.

You better care. Otherwise, you make the same mistakes the liberation

heroes did.

To shoot everyone out of the offices and then get in the office

and you sit there

and all of a sudden you must run a bank now. You must run an insurance company.

You must run an IT company. You saw what happened in the post office

here.

You must now run an institution which you don't have a clue as to
