Faith. And politicians.

This is one of those of my Friday evening rambles. And for the first time in these memoirs, I will talk about politics, but with a little sprinkle, because I hate politics and politicians.

What has happened in Malawi has saddened me somewhat. We all had this Arab spring moment feeling when the new President was announced a few weeks ago. And much to our chagrin, the old adage has now come to pass. Just look at this BS:

I was primarily hesitant on the celebrations, because I saw in a news article they were referring to President Elect Lazarus as A Man of God. It was on BBC World News I think. I’ve seen that tactic. Its from the Fake Pastors user manual that thing. And Malawi is a deeply religious cowntry, so I smelt a rat.

Remember there was that other goat from North of the Limpopo, who introduced his ascent to power with them words “the voice of the people is the voice of God”?

And we have now seen that he was smoking cow dung and chicken feet with his promises, all the while plotting to rape his cowntry’s economically naked fiscus.

But again I say, we should not have faith in politicians, maAfrika. Remember that time I said, politicians dont have the answers. They are old and feeble in most of the countries. Its up to us, our generation to make the change, discard and blind yourself on politics.

Bonke are just experimenting in their old age, and cushioning their pockets for their younger wives' botox treatments in Malaysia.

But dont lose your focus. What is happening from a policy perspective, at the AfCFTA level is not driven by polotizians. All the work is coming from technocrats, young men and women like you and I ( we are still youth). Intelligence warriors that are pushing the aged and ancient to do stuff that brings Africa to its future.

But remember to have a fear of God fam. Dont become a spawn of corruption. Build towards the increasing shift to be on the right hand side of the continent’s history.

There is now far much reduced conflict in Africa. Its a small lens, but it points to a growing dynamic of stability and concerted efforts from the regional blocs and the continent towards less war and more constructive reconstruction talk. Perhaps we should give credit to these elderly for that.

We are still far, but all this can be sped up. Malawi is a shame and Zim is a terrible shambles, the 2 Sudans are in repair, and Burundi has a new lease on life, and the pirates are not talked about much in Somalia. Something happened in Lesotho but I dont know what yet. Ethiopia and the Rwanda are exceeding expectations. We’ll get there.

But I have to caveat that. The youth demographic of this continent is our dividend, the ancients will sooner go meet their judgement day and or lose their eyesight.

So lets not carry on twerking at Taboo under the neon lights fam. We have to wipe out this greed gene pool that runs deep. Again, fear God fam, have a fear of God.

We must take the mantle and breed good governance and systems that work for the people and the communities, our communities. We must do that now, in our own little ways.

Get on up fam.
