The 77 Percent
Info ‧ 30 min
Description
77 per cent of Africa's population are below the age of thirty-five yet their interests are under-represented poltically and economically. This show aims to redress the balance by providing a voice to the largest demographic group on the continent. These dynamic younger people are politically engaged and will determine the future path their countries, and the continent as a whole, will follow in the twenty-first century. Presented by Eddy Micah Jr. from Ghana and Wanjiku Mwaura from Kenya, the show promotes a pan-African agenda by encouraging dialogue between the various interested parties. The show pulls no punches when delivering its compelling reports, personal accounts and provocative discussions. A long overdue look at the big issues that affect the youth of Africa.
