Youth Leadership in Africa: Why are Africa's leaders so old if it's populations are so young?

Young people across the world are well adept to 21st Century life and issues which come with it, making them well-equipped to take positions of power. However, when it comes to Africa, do the young of today lack the initiative to uptake these positions? Why are its populations so young yet its leaders so old? 

This week, we re-visit a conversation Marie-Noelle had with youth leader Kaene Disepo, in which he tries to unpick these questions and understand the issue at hand.
