Africa isn’t poor, it is in most parts poorly governed. I listened & read today to a few of former Tanzania President B. Mkapa (RIP) speeches and this one (among others) captured my attention. He made some mistakes during his leadership that he apologized for....we remember him today as a great leader. I am looking forward reading the book he released before his passing. Praying for our leaders that they will lead to serve and not be served, that they will learn from the past mistakes and do better, that they’ll meet those they lead where they stand and lift them up, that they’ll listen to the needs of those they lead instead of dictating them, that they’ll invest in education, healthcare and general well being of their people🙏🏽❤️
Fun fact when I stood close to the late President Mkapa wearing heels, he looked at me then said ‘my child, you are very long) RIP baba❤️
