Economic Ownership, Political Change and Africa’s Youth
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 in 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. Let's just change. Remove every-
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 post office here.
You must now run an institution which you don't have a clue as to how
is it
working.
