Bobby Godsell, he, of Eskom, AngloGold Ashanti and the National Planning Commission, addressed a UCT student leaders’ dinner on March 5 and among his observations on the Arab Spring, where he made clear that, “If 1994 marked the end of decolonisation in Africa, then January 25 2011 marks the beginning of postcolonial politics.”
He also had this to say:
Go onto twitter: follow #25th January, or #6th April, follow the South African woman journalist Khadija Patel, or others. Follow the debate under way about the content of the new constitution under construction in Egypt.
It certainly the first time I’ve received a follow recommendation in a speech and then, print.
