If I Were African Leaders....On LIBYA

As always, only the international community has stepped up to the plate on the Libyan crisis. Where is Africa?
We are not likely to hear much from this continent because our leaders love to treat their matters as a "family affair"!

Look around the region and see for yourself. Now is the time to stand up and be counted. Africa must move to give all sides the space for a peaceful and violence-free outcome. And the Libyan authorities have the primary responsibility to protect and listen to their own citizens. A civil war must be out of the question.

If I were African leaders, I will send a high-powered delegation to Tripoli TODAY! Its task is to STOP the blood-letting, and broker dialogue. It will bring back critical inputs  (including facts and figures) for an urgent AU Resolution/Intervention in partnership with the UN and International Community.

Africa must rise and take a stand in this stand-off on its own soil. We must do so TODAY!

Summer Party for Mandela and Tutu

For the outstanding African Icons and South African Legends they have been, we need to celebrate President Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu the African way!

With SA's spectacular display at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, it will be a breeze to host the world again - this time for true African Elders.

If I were President Jacob Zuma, I will fix this Gratitude/Thank You Party for the summer of 2011. I will get the African Union to hold a special summit during the One Month Extravaganza, and call for Solidarity Party Zones in all countries for fans and followers to enjoy - using giant T.V screens for live-casts/feeds.

Funding will be open to the world for they be true global gems. The mementos will be out-of-this-world!

I can just see this record-setting event in my mind's video: wow! And the world waits.
