[Community-Discuss] [members-discuss] AFRINIC Update 23rd November 2015

[Noah]

Badru

In tanzania, we have this trending hashtag  #hapakazitu  which is swahili
for #this-time-its-only-work-and-nothing-but-work

Our problem is that we have always had to be reminded of our duties and
even when we are reminded, we  still give excuses after excuse for pretty
much everything....

This has become an inherent characteristic of our modus operandi in this
continent......

We need to seriously change.......
