[Ncuc-af] NCSG and NCUC elections

Wed Jul 18 20:52:06 CEST 2018

Not at all, i still think it worth to come in from the front door. We need to undermine the real politics. NCUC will have the VP or Vice Chair walk in to replace renata of course. I am pretty sure i already know who will stand to replacing the africa rep in NCUC. Which will be another person who is aligned in the same political agenda. It is all about how we are able to break the block. 

I will try nevertheless again this year. But i would want an African representative and i’ll try Chair again. Knowing i will not make it but will try again. We need to ensure africa works together, the issue stands that we are divided and used against each other. That is where you see how some areas gets more support.

>> Thanks Thato for raising the need for more involvement of Africans in NCSG and NCUC. The same point was raised by Arsene weeks ago and Rafik clearly suggested a strategy that could help us achieved a more desirable outcome. In addition with Rafik suggestion, I would also like to suggest that we need to put on the hat of nominate ourselves for strategically positioning. While we are actively participating, Rafik, Poncelet, Farell, Anriette, Arsene among others should use their influence to nominate African colleagues . This would clearly shows that there is potential African candidates on the list.

>> Apologies that I might not finish this communication threat, just trying to spark communication and collaboration with and among fellow members, thanks.
