For those of you who aren’t up-to-date on your TED Talk vodcast (I’ve got about 30 I haven’t watched yet myself) and/or who are in need of a good kick in the pants, please point your browsers to:

Andrew Mwenda (Warning: The video starts playing automatically.)

If you don’t have 17 minutes right now, let me summarize: “Bono, stop buying our corrupt government officials cars and start investing in Africa’s people and ideas and potential.” Wow. Go Andrew!

Though not the first time this has happened in response to a TED Talk, I was definitely leaping up and clapping loudly when I watched this last night.
