I liked Chamisa even when he sold the masses false hope. However, the use of the word president to describe himself is unncessary and over the top. He doesn't even have a political party yet calling himself president. It's way past the time to drop the student activist mentality.

Not sure how to respond to Kirsty's election as IOC president. I am pleased for her as an individual, she was a fantastic olympian but has been undoubtedly one of the worst ministers that Zimbabwe has ever had. I hope she can show competence as IOC president, otherwise Africa will have a bad name.

The help is welcome but I hope that the leadership which loves to preach sovereignty is also learning something from the USAID crisis. We cannot continue to be beggars. African governments must stop stealing and enriching others at our expense.

Lula is saying the truth that developing nations are not supposed to say loudly. It's interesting noticing the groups that are lambasting Ramaphosa in SA for standing up to the playground bully. It's the same groups that found apartheid acceptable as long as they benefitted.
