Africa: the leaders we need; Just any leader won't solve Africa's problems. The leaders that the continent needs are people who understand its problems and will sincerely employ leadership to solve them. The leader and his turf must match. Thus, who is good for Europe may not be so good for Africa.	Kumuyi, William F.	Column	1503
African media: how life was 40 years ago; So many things have changed in African newsrooms since New African was founded as African Development 40 years ago.

An archive-junkie with great tales: the 1919 race riots in Britain provoked the emergence of a publicly articulated critique of the double standard which allowed white men to have their way with African women in the colonies, while black men were beaten in Britain for marrying white women.

I love Nyerere.	Mbatha, Zinhle	Letter to the editor	76
It's been great being part of a great product: the ability to allow the most critical of views to be published in the magazine taught me that in promoting discourse, all views need to be heard. Sustaining a publication (controversial as it is sometimes viewed) for 40 years, says a lot about the people who have given themselves to manage it.	Ntomba, Reginald		814
It's no longer a job, it's a calling: to penetrate into NA was not easy. It has never been easy. Each and every sentence of the copy submitted must be qualified.

Kabukuru, Wanjohi		1092

My passion for Africa: when we started, the obstacles, difficulties and risks in Africa didn't scare me. On the contrary, I welcomed the challenges and the opportunities.

New African is about retrieving Africa's stolen legacy: New African is about understanding where Africans are coming from in order to know where we should be going. In the context of what the magazine is doing, the Group Publisher, Afif Ben Yedder, remains for me, one of the greatest African heroes alive.	Jason, Pini		728
New African stirs the world's conscience into doing what is right: the 2000 International Aids Conference held in Durban, South Africa, was a great eye opener. I saw at first hand the extreme extent to which Western business, media and law collude and coordinate for profit.	Commey, Pusch		1050
