@calestous 2nd priority for Africa: development of its manufacturing industry to create jobs and reduce imports
-

-
@mimi_mine No effective manufacturing can occur without infrastructure--energy, transportation, water and telecoms. -
@calestous agreed but i feel the approach should be two pronged and not necessarily one then the other... -
@mimi_mine These are foundations upon which you layer the others. Some things have to be there first. -
@calestous i'm just wondering whether Europe waited to have all its infrastructure in place to start the great industrialisation -
@mimi_mine Exactly--the Romans were building road long before they started to industrialize.

@calestous the first is social structure restructure. United we stand divided we have always fallen. -
@NewtonGatambia Try social structure without energy, transportation, water and communication. -
@calestous who builds the other; is it the infrastructure that builds social cohesion or is it a united people that build up a nation?

@calestous Second could be classification of the political class in same category with poverty, diseases, corruption. -
@PMugoMugo Africa needs to build things, not just classify groups--we have done that already for so long. -
@calestous Agree, but even if we build, propensity to destroy is still part of gene of the African political class. I propose surgery
