Africa must unite and do away with borders: Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta in PretoriaIf Africa wants to be a manufacturing giant, it needs to do away with borders. This was the view of Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday afternoon while on a state visit to SA. Africa's problem is that they cannot work together. From my ancestors to modern day... We are addicted to tribalism and corruption. It's dope but in a bad way... Doing away with borders, without any rules in place, will result in tears. A relationship without any rules will always result in pain. Rising crime, drug and human trafficking, illegal manufacturing of cigarettes and foodstuffs - a borderless country with a weak state is chaos. So you can come and steal from the entire continent? 👀 🤔
