Angry African on the Loose

By Not Quite As Angry, August 26, 2009

This Angry African is an intelligent activist that in his words:

This blog is about me being pissed off from an African perspective. And having a laugh at the world and the funny people living on this small floating rock.

A little bit about him:

I was born in Africa, South Africa. I lived there and worked there for most of my life. I have been an African development worker, an Oxfam campaigner, an African UN activist, a South African trade unionist, a South African WTO trade negotiator, a businessman running my own businesses in southern Africa, a founder of non-profits and campaigns to bring Africa to the forefront of action, and a developmental economist working on the role of business in Africa.

And he’s got something to say (a lot of things) and he says them very well. The thing I like about this blog is that he is an activist, he’s a bit angry, but he’s not ‘flipping off the world’. Instead he is pressing forward, motivating people, posting his opinion and taking a stand. This is an intelligent response to justified anger. Kudos.

This is an angry blogger worth following, I certainly will.

Does Anyone Read This Blog: According to Quantcast it reaches over 1,900 people a month. So, it’s not bad, but it would be good to see his traffic increase.
Is the Anger Justified: Absolutely.
Anything Else Interesting: His resume is outstanding.
