The oldest member who was recently returned to the Uganda Parliament is ailing retired Brigadier Moses Ali (L), 87, who’s been in govt variously since the military rule of Idi Amin in the 1970s. The youngest is Lenia Charity Kevin .@Leniacharity, at just 24 (R).
In a continent ruled by very old men, Lenia at 24 is very young by African parliamentary standards, yet she is not the youngest ever. Several politicians who entered the national (not provincial) parliament younger than her.
Some notable examples:
•Proscovia Alengot Oromait — Uganda. Elected MP in 2012 at just 19, becoming Africa’s youngest MP at the time.
•Francisca Oteng-Mensah — Ghana. Elected to Parliament at 23, then became a deputy minister.
•John Paul Mwirigi — Kenya. Elected MP for Igembe South at 23 in 2017, then Kenya’s youngest elected MP.
•Emma Theofelus — Namibia. Entered Parliament and became deputy minister at 23; later rose to cabinet minister.
•Yusuf Cassim — South Africa. Became the youngest MP in South African national history at 24 in 2014.

🇿🇦 South Africa has the highest income inequality of any country on Earth.
Top 10%: earn 66% of all income.
Bottom 50%: earn 6%.
For context in Sweden, the bottom 50% earn 25% of income.
South Africa's Gini coefficient: among the highest ever recorded for a major economy.
The legacy of apartheid didn't end with apartheid.
It compounded, through land ownership, education, and access to capital, into the most unequal income distribution on the planet.
IMF researchers show that #pandemics progressively widen gap between rich&poor, as measured by the net Gini coefficient (inequality measure). Further, pandemic-related job losses disproportionately harm workers w/ only basic levels of education. https://t.co/xisXkJg7fA #IMFBlog
