Mon Jul 28 12:10:10 SAST 2014

Well said  Mwendwa and others..

We can not sut diwn and look up to someone to Help us...For how long?

We have see the ignorance and also  the vertical way operations in our
respective countries...not including the Authorities effectively in many

Next is: How can the ISOC in Africa operate differently if the suggestion
is acceptable?

Back to us all...
