The apathy of affluent Africans | Sepo Haihambo | TEDxWindhoek

“We are affluent but apathetic.” Our forefathers fought for our freedom but this is not the destination. Instead it is a pivotal point in the journey to economic inclusivity.
Sepo Lamaswala Haihambo is a creative deep thinker with diverse interests and love for
life. She is a mother, wife, economist, keen runner and aspiring author.
Sepo grew up in Lusaka, Zambia and spent time in France, UK and USA during her
formative years, before settling permanently in Namibia.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

In 2017, with the current economic downgrades and poor growth on the horizon, I ask myself how relevant this talk still is. In my view, it seems to merely encourage people to support governments of past liberation heroes across the continent, rather than hold them to account.

I have no issue with the speaker, just with the overall message. I commend her for speaking and I wish I could have attended.
