100 days until the #G20 in South Africa. Africa pays more to borrow than any other region, costing the continent classrooms, clinics & jobs. The G20 can change the rules & make capital fairer. This is the time for courageous decisions to be made. #G20 #CostofCapital

The response to our #54FacesOfAfrica has been powerful. From Kigali to Cape Town, Lagos to Lilongwe, the message is clear: African entrepreneurs are ready. They just need fair access to capital.
Let’s keep the stories coming. Here’s how. 👇🏾

Gavi’s work not only benefits global health but also directly supports US interests by making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. My thanks to the US House Committee on Appropriations for the opportunity to provide testimony on how @Gavi strengthens the world's ability to protect itself against outbreaks and health emergencies. Watch my testimony here:

I have never received such bad and incompetent service like I just did from @MTNza. I called wanting to change my data package only to be migrated to a wrong package. Even after the mistake was on their end I am now forced to take a 24 months contract.

Take it from @TrevorNoah and @MelindaGates: If we want to change the world for the better, we've got to start by ensuring women and girls can claim their power. gates.ly/46gu3K0

China produces 13 million ton of coal per day.
South Africa produces 650 000 ton of coal per day.
China has 1 118 coal fired power stations.
South Africa has 15 coal fired power stations.
South Africa is encouraged/incentivised/forced to invest in renewable energy where solar panels and wind mills are produced in China.
Most of the countries in the world buy textiles, footwear, furniture, IT hardware, steel, agricultural products, chemicals, etc… you name it, from China.
What a hypocrisy!
