It is time for African think tanks to create a platform for Africans to meet & discuss our problems.
@MINDSAfrica & @PolicyCenterNS met this morning to discuss collaboration to address African issues
Ali will be sadly missed by all at CAPSI and MINDS. We fondly remember the cultural dinner we co-hosted at Wits University on 7 November, where he was one of the speakers.
We want to express our deepest condolences to the family and colleagues of Ali Mufuruki who passed away this weekend. Ali was a board member of MINDS, a frequent speaker at our events and a close friend to many.
Mr Ali Mufuruki was dedicated to actualizing transformative change on the continent. He championed regional integration in Africa, the AfCTA being one of the milestones he achieved with other regional leaders.
