If there’s one thing the West knows how to do well, it's to try and interfere in everything that concerns Africa. They always have an opinion on how Africans should live, what kind of policies should be formulated, whom African countries should partner with, and how Africans should run their government because to them Africans are not capable of self-governance. Western countries believe that they are better, more superior, and are better defenders of humanity than Africa so that gives them the right to dictate how Africans should believe. For a long time, Africans have been content in allowing the West to dictate what should be done and how it should be done thanks to those weak puppet African leaders. However, in recent times, African leaders have started to stand up for what they believe, refusing to dance to the tune of the West.
One such African leader who has stood up to the West in recent times is the President of Botswana, President Mokgweetsi Masisi. Botswana is a small country in South Africa with about 2.5 million people. This country may be small but ranks consistently as one of the top ten richest countries in Africa with a GDP per capita of $20,311. And, the reason for this is because compared to other African countries, Botswana has been able to set up robust institutions and prudent economic management practices which have lifted it from the low-income country it was after its Independence to an upper-middle-income country with an aspiration of becoming a high-income country. So, essentially Botswana is doing great for an African country.
