A HUNGRY STOMACH KNOWS NO POLITICS!

There’s been a profound shift in the consciousness of Africa’s young people. That’s the contention of author Joshua Maponga - who contrasts today’s rising generation with what he alleges is more a ‘docile’ and subservient one of the ‘60s.

He claims that Africa’s youth will no longer tolerate bad governance and inequality and are ready to take matters into their own hands if necessary.

The spate of revolutionary coups across the Sahel - which boast popular support - vividly illustrate Maponga’s words. As he puts it here, “A hungry stomach knows no politics.”
