Africa needs infrastructure, Africa needs development, but the truth is that if we call on the Europeans to build Africa's Infrastructure, Africa will be owned by Europe; and if we call on the Chinese to develop Africa, Africa will become a Chinese Colony.
It is only when the Africans build and develop Africa by themselves then Africa can be owned by the Africans. Our development must reflect in our needs and our capabilities and not the master craft or capitals of others.
We must remember that development is a process; it is not a product that can be bought and be given to a society. This also means that anytime we call on others to develop our society for us, we deny ourselves, the opportunity of the process of learning and the opportunity of creating and accumulating capital in our society.
This is because while we build our own development, we gain experiences by doing it and the process of developing also helps us to build capital that are kept in the economy for maintenance and further development in other sectors. But, what happens when the development is done by outsiders? They go away with the skills and the financial capital, leaving our economy in a hollow state.
The the government of the African Continental Unity Party - ACUP will support and develop local capacities and use the African skills and ingenuity to develop Africa. This agenda will ensure that everyone, including you, will become useful in the development process of our continent and none will be unemployed as long as you are capable of, and willing to work.
