Ruined - Fixed

Could one individual man be responsible for ruining a country?  Fred Swaniker thinks so.  His experience tells him that a single leader can destroy a nation . . when he is a corrupt leader like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.

He makes the point that one bad leader in America can be stopped by our laws and institutions which limit political power ("checks and balances").  In Africa, he says, dictators have no such restraints and so can create disaster.

Fred's not-so-modest goal is to train 250,000 African young people to become the leaders Africa urgently needs.
