  2. This type of planning is welcome and is now a modern trend worldwide. Sub-Saharan cities are booming—demographically and economically—and will continue to do so for much of this century . The percentage of people living in cities could jump to 84 percent by 2060 (from 40 percent in 2010) according to the African Development Bank.

  3. Give them a chance instead of being politically pessimistic all the time. It appears you don’t want to see any success unless it’s oval head in office.

  4. Something is wrong in the heads of UPND supporters,@3! Wow! HH will be president in 2021? Maybe he will be president in 1955 or was, since this year has Under Fives in it.
