If you could change one thing forever, what would it be?

Day 54 of Big Brother Africa coincided with the World Poverty Day.  To honor the 17 October, Southern Africa Trust in collaboration with Big Brother Africa introduced the Change4ever campaign to the housemates, asking them the question “ if you could change one thing forever in your country, what would it be?

The housemates answered as follows:

Ricco
I would address the problem of unemployment in Angola and get rid of nepotism in the public and private sectors.

Morris
I wish Uganda could allocate a ministry that would specifically focus on health issues and also control its coffers. The current status quo has resulted in civil servants looting money and donations allocated to people living with HIV/AIDS. I also wish to change the mentality of leaders: to have their people's interests at heart.

Tawana
Changing the youth’s attitudes would make Botswana’s health and economic sectors flourish.

Thami
I wish to change the educational syllabus in South Africa to capacitate pupils with leadership and entrepreneur skills.

Takondwa
Zambia urgently needs to rid corruption in all sectors of the economy. I would introduce zero tolerance on corruption accompanied by imposition of stiffer sentences.

Hazel
In Malawi I would introduce a vigorous campaign aimed at empowering the children about what’s wrong, right and acceptable. In three four generations to come its impact would be felt the same way a boy and girl child’s roles are defined by society.

Mimi
I would ensure that there is free access to quality education from grade 1 up to university level to improve the Ghanaian community.
