Africa has to Model its own Form of Democracy for it to Develop.

Some African leaders view China as a place where they could borrow lots of ideas, especially on how to develop their country from a third world to a developed country in just a generation. In the last 30 years, China has lifted more than 300 million people from poverty, and the country is now looked both as a friend and a threat as it looks to expand its global hegemony. In Africa, China has gobbled up mineral resources, and continues to look for raw materials to power its industries. One question though that China has taught many African countries is the need for stability. China has prioritized stability as the basis for economic growth, and it is no wonder the country has grown double digits in the last thirty years or so. As Africa experiments with democracy in its various forms, it would have to know that democracy is a painful process, that takes one step at a time, and building nations is also equally a slow and painful process. 

According to Silicon Africa, a think tank that seeks to advance Africa’s agenda, ‘An African student in China asked his professor the following question: “Why isn’t China doing anything to change his image abroad, as most of the things people say about China are not true”.
The professor paused, smiled, and with a sterling contempt replied “China doesn’t give a damn”. Then continued “it took us 30 years to build our country, while it took over 400 years for Western countries to reach the same level of development.
The most important thing for China now is stability, so we can focus on our development. That’s the stage where we are.

We are well aware of all the various human freedoms available under other suns, and we desire to have them here in China, and we are confident that in time we will have the same freedoms here in China. However, for now, at the stage where we are, we need stability to continue our development.”
Indeed, knowing the kind of political organisation a country needs at particular time in its history is very critical for that country’s stability and prosperity.” Silicon Africa concludes. 
For Africa then, it would have to balance between stability and democracy in order to grow rapidly.
