Reading briefs

I found this pieceWangari Maathai's views on Aids . My opnion is we should afford everyone, no matter on what pedestals they stand , a right to their opinon. She got where she is today out of her will to speak her mind and share her spirit. Correct her, set heer on the right track, but dont vilify her (or Thabo mbeki) for their rightfully owned and justified (arent they all) opinions.

Then this is what I call sensational, pointless reporting which appears to have serve other purpose but sucker punch me the african reader . granted such statements are embarrassing and can not be ignored, the article lacks focus and consistenty in theme. So to slap a headline like that on the story betraays an already disparaging outlook into the African mental model.

And this..this is what i call disruptive technology. Si mambo ya ipod this ipod that..Even though Apple stock prices would claim otherwise. Disruptive technology shouldnt just me measured by the degree of culture change, but the purpose of it. African entrepreneurs, be smart, invest in a technology that is changing Africa like no other. Wireless telecoms and communications software. And no you dont have to pay me for the tip. Deno feeling generous today..
