Excuse brevity and typos,
I am sincerely getting disappointed at the management of AfriNIC. Not only is our resources being abused as a subject matter but also the trust entrusted to management. Highly disappointing. Are there not lots of IPV6 address space that could have been issued by AfriNIC for investors in Africa who have followed the due process?. So why the IPV4 address space.
With the era where we are advocating for the use of IPv6 address space. Can any one explain to this noble community why AfriNIC did not issue IPV6 instead of the chunk IPv4 address space issued  and its spamming scandal?
Or Perhaps are we transitioning the functions of AfriNIC or AfriNIC stewardship Transition or accountability or transitioning from actual trends to another. We do believe that AfriNIC management is meant to serve this community. We need answers.

Questions work answering !

Truly African,
Ata Redeemer

 So to be precise, Whether i need a /24 or  /12 what
 matters is my
 justification on how I will use it (backedup with full
 documentation) and
 if i do justify, then the IP analyst, hostmaster and whoever
 is involved in
 the chain of approval, will go a head and issue my
 assignment since the
 current policy is in line with that.....
 
 Key word....JUSTIFICATION....so meaning the folks whose /12
 is being
 questioned herein, must have justified their request and the
 assignments
 was done.... and if tomorrow I dont actually use up the
 assignment as I
 indicated initially, then that is  different story!!!!
 
 Right?
