Speaking in Johannesburg in a speech that was
streamed live to audiences across Africa

• It has been said over and over again that Africa
  is sitting on a ticking time bomb poverty,
  inequality and unemployment of mostly the young.
  That if we dont do anything material to alter
  the prospects of African citizens, this massive
  social bomb will explode on all of us. We are
  starting to experience the ramifications of the
  neglect to attend to this situation, especially
  in South Africa, where weve seen unprecedented
  unrest and sporadic social instability, said
  Mahloele.
