"The leadership
I refer to will dip deep into the profound African
leadership legacy that we have shamefully neglected
to codify, disseminate and assimilate. The legacy
that exhorts us to:
- Concur with King Shaka Ka Senzangakhona that
there can be no change without challenge.
- Resonate with King Moshoeshoe of the Basotho's
insistence that mastering the context from situational
analysis is key to leadership success.
- Accord with Magigwani of Kampfumo-Mozambique's
charge to his followers to out-innovate their adversaries
and contestants in war and peace.
- Harken to the African echo chamber of wisdom
as it admonishes us not to worry about high position,
but to be concerned with playing our roles properly.
- Reaffirm Kwame Nkruma's exhortation that Africa
be self reliant, self assertive and autonomous.
- Heed Madiba's dictum that a leader is someone
who fearlessly bears the consequences of his or
her decisions, who does not strive to be popular,
who walks the road to which he or she is committed."
