There is NOTHING wrong with Africans. They are intelligent, hard working, innovative and care deeply for their families, their neighbors, their nations and themselves. The bottom line issue is leadership, leadership, leadership. Gee, do you think I should say it louder - LEADERSHIP!!! And Zimbabwe is a sickeningly sad example of bad leadership destroying the future and stealing the hope of a proud, hard working and beautiful people.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('85730','wayne'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('85730','wayne','@The GoWayBird:\r\nwow - you nailed it right on the head.

That is why Africa's leaders, those self serving, money-guzzling parasites, won't get behind real democracy. They make the right noises to keep the aid money flowing, but that's all. It costs nothing to talk (especially when aid money is funding the Summit!). The Economist describes the African Union as nothing but a ‘Mutual protection club for dodgy presidents” but I reckon that pretty much describes SADC too, as they pose for the media in their worn-out liberators' disguises. There is nothing wrong with Africa - it's Africa's leaders that are the problem. And only once they truly respect the electorate, will they start to behave like leaders. So don't hold your breath. Hold educational seminars instead!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('85084','The GoWayBird'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('85084','The GoWayBird','Dear SA guest blogger: \r\nYou will only get the SADC leaders to face up to their duty when you get real, free, fair elections in the SADC countries.
