Dr. Nyanchama, you have the power. Ali Hussein has been talking about "soft power" for a while now. And that is what every citizen has. Don't forget "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" and Mahatma Gandhi's “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”<div>
</div><div>If we have a concrete plan and sturdy on the harm of NGOs, we will convince the government to regulate. And who is the government if it is not you and me?</div><div><br></div><div>I reiterate, <span style>It would be good if we can borrow a leaf from our brothers South of the Limpopo</span></div>

<span>If I had the power, I would close down all NGO activity, take a breather, and challenge them to justify their continued ad hoc, often harmful activities. They must show competencies in areas they play (complete with previous achievements, staffing, etc) because in many respects we get people interested in travel pose as experts in the area they play! I have seen 2nd year students pose as water/medical/environment experts; the harm they leave behind is unconscionable.</span></div>
<div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Mbeki, having lived in the west for many years understood this; he also understood the emotion Mandela's SA evoked in people and the wish to be "part of the action"! He also knew the danger this presented and clamped down hard on them. SA also refuses to take advice from
WB and IMF, preference private and private-public investment strategies for economic growth. That way, they don't have to hearken and hence respond to the wishes/whims of teh Brenton Woods institutions.</span></div>
