In the lead-up to the G20 Summit, a powerful dialogue on Africa’s role in a multipolar world unfolded, led by Dr. Mmabatho Mongae and Moeketsi Koahela. They emphasized two critical pillars for African agency: reclaiming resources and liberating minds from colonial legacies. Experts discussed the need for Africa to modernize through education, technology, and strategic trade. Key voices advocated for collective action across sectors to protect sovereignty and reshape Africa’s future, urging Africa to move from policy taker to policy shaper.
