It
 is important that we realise that politicians alone will not propel the
 continent forward. In fact, politicians are often the stumbling block 
to many an entrepreneur, what with the endless demands of bribes and 
other forms of extortion. Africa's entrepreneurs will be the new wealth 
creators, and in the process of building their wealth, they will create 
clean, decent, and rewarding jobs, jobs that Africa's youth desperately 
need. But for us to encourage an entrepreneurship culture, we will have 
to make sure that we provide these budding entrepreneurs with the right 
environment for doing their businesses, avail to them capital, and most 
of all, ensure that they can be mentored so that their businesses can 
grow to the next stage. And we do not just 
need any sort of businesses, 
but rather the high growth businesses that will ensure that untold 
amounts of wealth are created. We don't want to promote too many 
businesses which are tinkering on failure, but rather have a few 
successful ones.
