Robert

On a light note....when you talk about your kids improving their maths by using KhanAcademy.com wewe ni Mbabi,..(even if you are in denial) :)

Seriously though, all this talk about Konza etc will be to naught if we:-
1.  improve our education System
2.  Make connectivity as universal as possible
3. And start behaving like WAUNGWANA
