“For things to change, one must change.” These words by the late Jim Rohn have resonated across the world, even more so for Africa where they carry a special weight/meaning. If our continent is to rise to its full potential, Africans themselves must become the drivers of that change. This is the heartbeat behind The Africa Is Waiting Television Show, a 15-minute inspirational talk show with a bold and simple vision: to energize the next generation to step into their role as Africa’s future leaders.

​

At the crossroad, The Africa Is Waiting Television Show is really more than just a show; it’s a movement. It speaks directly to children and young people, reminding them that Africa is waiting for them

​

• to take education seriously;

• to pay attention to the wisdom of their parents; and

•  to prepare themselves for the work ahead.

 

Unlike their parents' generation, today's children have greater exposure and opportunities to enter lucrative and emerging fields such as oil and gas. They can become doctors, lawyers, teachers, entrepreneurs, engineers, artists, safety officers, and innovators, among other professions. These young individuals have the potential to drive change and contribute significantly to the advancement of their communities.

​

Building this future is a gradual process that requires dedication, commitment, compassion, and values that are first nurtured at home. This is where the show finds its unique voice. Each episode showcases the journey of parenting through conversations with some of Namibia’s most influential figures. By humanizing the parenting experience, The Africa Is Waiting Television Show offers wisdom and encouragement to parents, while also inspiring children who will one day become leaders.

​

The show embraces real-life lessons, making it interactive, heartfelt, and practical. It serves as a reminder that raising the next generation of patriotic African leaders is not just a responsibility, but a shared calling. This shared responsibility is built through honest dialogues. The Africa Is Waiting Television Show encourages parents and guardians to see themselves as shapers of tomorrow, entrusted with the important role of nurturing minds that will solve Africa’s greatest challenges.

​

Ultimately, The Africa Is Waiting Television Show is a call to action. It emphasizes that Africa's most valuable natural resources, including its stunning landscapes, should be centered around its people, especially the children who have a promising future ahead. The show highlights that the time to invest in, guide, and believe in this generation is now. There is no better moment, because Africa is waiting... and the future is in their hands.
