ANC Centenary Celebrations - The president's speech

Though I joined in late to listen to the speech of Jacob Zuma (thanks to Man U and Man City game), could not help picking up the need to have a relevant vision (I think the president referred to it as a vision of the future).

Can you just imagine how much more we could see getting done both on micro or macro level if only most of us kept on revisiting our vision?

Take for example, all the service delivery problems most African governments keep facing including South Africa itself, if only the vision was of the future or relevant, how many citizens would have been satisfied by now given the appalling conditions these people in townships are living in?

I am actually looking forward to seeing the full speech so that I can digest it and if possible see how the issues raised could be put into context and see how successful or lack thereof , 17 years on? Stay tuned!

What third world countries need to compete at a global scale

Often times, we wonder how this country is doing well or how it has done that or is yet to do that, without appreciating what it takes for the country to make its name at a global scale.

This often puts the country at a disadvantage and that others do not learn much for them to move forward in the global market.

South Africa has really put itself in front of its peers in Africa, what is there that makes it tick? Ofcourse not forgetting  the likes of Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Zambia to name a few.

Anyone out there, let's talk!
