Limitless Africa
TRUE Africa
Welcome to Limitless, the podcast series that asks the questions which matter to Africa.
Are tech start-ups the answer to Africa's unemployment problem? Can we stop fake news from spreading on the continent? How do we raise a generation of football stars?
These are just some of the topics we’ll be tackling.
And we’re not looking for simple answers. Just as Africa’s potential is limitless, so are the possible solutions to any challenges the continent faces.
During each podcast episode, we’ll be asking three very different subject experts to give their take on each question. This will come as no surprise but they don’t always agree.
Made possible with a grant from the U.S. Department of State and the Seenfire Foundation.

"Young people should vote no matter the situation"
Limitless Africa
09/05/24 • 41 min
Paul Kagame has won the last four elections in Rwanda with over 90 % of the vote. There is no powerful opposition. What does that say about democracy in the country?
For this episode of Limitless Africa, we speak to Seth Karamage, a Rwandan development economist specializing in peacebuilding and good governance. He has worked on fostering democracy in Rwanda as well as Nigeria, Kenya and Somalia. He’s a former soldier with the Rwanda Defence Forces.
This is an opportunity to ask someone who really knows the situation: Should young people bother voting in the election? And in situations where elections aren’t held or their results are not in doubt, are military or political coups ever justifiable?
