Afra;
Loved this. Most articulate. I congratulate you for the ability to use the limited time that you had to really let your audience see “The Three Sides of Corruption”. Great job!

Thanks, Damesam!
TedX POS was a great outing and a stimulating day for me as there were so many young people there, committed to a better future for our society with little selfish motivation…remember that this capitalist dream was built on many, many people’s collective and unacknowldeged contributions…
Please spread the word!

Well done Afra. Thank you for the brief informative formal discourse concerning the ongoing Government Corruption in TnT. This segway left one wanting more information of this “mystery” as you quoted, of the ever elusive procedure and lack of transparency policy practiced by the varied government branches and financial sectors. Looking forward to the follow up.
“Democracy is cumbersome, slow and inefficient, but in due time, the voice of the people will be heard and their latent wisdom will prevail”
Be encouraged

I came across your “3 sides” presentation purely by chance. You are to be congratulated Afra. We in Australia need someone like you. There are many shifty deals going on between wealthy Asian businessmen and local authorities – all feathering their own nests at the public’s expense.
