Last weekend, Nation Media Group’s inaugural Kusi Ideas Festival took place in the Rwandan capital Kigali.
This year is the 60th anniversary of NMG, but also, in a manner of speaking, the 60th anniversary of the independence of many African countries. So NMG decided to examine Africa’s remains of the last 60 years, to see that missed lessons might be learnt, and to peer into the continent’s next six decades. This looking far ahead, and preparing for the surprises and fortunes that might come, is not something we Africans are very good at.
