description: This is a new prescription for African leadership culled from the rules of its great statesmen. Dickson Mungazi presents a new synthesis of desirable leadership qualities, strained from an examination of the offices of Seretse Khama, Nelson Mandela and Julius Nyerere. Values include a set of principles, ideas or beliefs that guide an individual or a society in their endeavour to carry out defined objectives. Values are as important, then, for statecraft as they are for personal development. Dickson Mungazi examines pertinent political and social issues in Botswana, South Africa and Tanzania during the leaderships of Seretse Khama, Nelson Mandela and Julius Nyerere. Making a critical analysis of the nature of good and effective leadership in these three nations based on the values that the leaders embraced in order to serve their respective countries, he demonstrates the combined qualities of their good leadership by providing insights into the unique aspects of each political career and the universal values that bind them together.Mungazi isolates integrity, loyalty to principle, honesty, respect to democracy and confidence in the abilities of one's people as overarching values that should be present in a good leader. Backing his claims up with actual examples from the offices of these legendary statesmen, he begins to build a new synthesis for the African leaders of the future.
