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.
