If Africa’s young people are not supported in becoming the leaders of tomorrow, they will be “detractors” of those in power today.

That’s the opinion of Robert Ladu Luki, Chairperson of the National Land Commission in South Sudan.

Mr Ladu Luki spoke to Ernest Cho about his proposal to enshrine youth empowerment in national constitutions.
