In this edition of Africa of the Future we discuss issues of youth participation in democracy and governance and we consider whether Africa is free or just independent. We feature two academics and activists – one is Jean Bwasa, founder of Right2Life from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Samson Itodo who is the founder of Iyaga which started a global campaign called Not Too Young To Run.

Africa of the Future celebrates 50 years of the OAU, now known as the African Union, we explore the victories and challenges of its history and look forward into the future.

Before the events of May this year, UST was the largest decentralised stablecoin, with a market capitalisation of almost $200 million in 2021.

Legal scholars are now calling for the introduction of strong regulations and one of them is Kara Meiring from the Dispute Resolution practice at a commercial law firm, Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr and she spoke to Luyanda Maome to state their case..
