    There’s an old African proverb, which says: “If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together.” It is this sentiment that should inform our approach to growth, development and progress.

        If you are trying to justify selling us out to London let me tell Europeans will never work together with us as equals they are only interested in making money in our land with our resources exploiting our people. It is time Africa went it alone. Our land our people our minerals.

        Help make this true especially in building&interconnecting more African highways & rails. We need to trade more internally instead of just shipping to our ports outwards. Why can't the big 5 African countries collaborate to start a huge Afro Road & Highway Construction Company?

        Replying to @PretorRJ @CyrilRamaphosa

        Free trade is good. Africa trades with China, same applies to Chinese. Laws and agreements are there that allow movement of goods, and labor both ways. One can also argue that many Chinese companies have done a great job on alot of their construction projects in Africa.

        Respect that Mr President...I have but one question or make it two Sir. 1. What benefit does it bring us to be part of the Commonwealth...considering our historic relations with Britain? 2. Is it a mandatory practice that every President after inuaguration goes to meet the queen?
