+1 Walu.

The problem with some developing contries stem from leaders who have
overstayed in power, they have nothing more to give but still hang on.

Let's not forget Mandela's words "after climbing a great hill, one only
finds that there are many more hills to climb". We've done a lot in our ICT
industry, but if we sit down to celebrate, all that effort will be naught

This is the most difficult lesson for our African leaders.
