    This platform should be used to harness the wisdom of previous leaders to chart the way forward for tackling the many challenges that face our continent.

    Enough discussing! You will discuss for how much longer! Do something!!! And I hope you will involve youth groups in your 'discussions' because you as elders are so far removed from the realities facing communities at the grass roots level. That's where change has to begin and transformation can only succeed when each community is held responsible for it's own. One community at a time! Stop talking and do something. Actions speak louder than words!
