BAGGRUND TIL CCSR

Formålet med denne artikel blev fastlagt i 1999, da jeg forlod Team 6 på Kaospilots School Of Entrepreneurship Leadership and Innovation i Århus, med det formål at en gang for alle, gøre en ende på afrikansk fattigdom gennem reggae-musik. Mit første stop var hos Amnesty International, hvor jeg brugte mine nyerhvervede færdigheder til at markere FN's Dag Imod Tortur (26. juni). Projektet hed Amnesty Street Music Awards og blev åbnet af Borgmester Flemming Knudsen ved Århus Rådhusplads.

Flygtninge, ofre for tortur,og PTSD eksperter holdte foredrag i Århus Kommune Bibliotek. Samtidigt optrådte udvalgte musikere på gaden og i udvalgte cafeer, mens vore dommere gik anonymt rundt for at udpege vinderne. Selve Awardet blev lavet af Kunstneren Hans Krull. Billedet til vores plakat var tegnet af min tidligere klassekammerat fra Kaospiloterne Herman fra Island. Men det allerbedste af det hele var at vi fik dækket vores udgifter igennem mange små sponsorater fra Århusianske virksomheder som alle gav 501 kroner hver. Den ene krone var for at gøre beløbet stort nok til et skattefradrag. Virksomhederne bidrog altså med EN krone. Jeg havde ikke noget navn for det dengang, men nu kan jeg klart se at jeg havde gang i CCSR…Comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility. CCSR er et nyttigt redskab som kan tilgodese alles interesser.

I løbet af den måned, hvor jeg deltog i Kaospilot skolen, var så meget blevet afmystificeret, samtidig med at nye udfordringer var blevet afklaret . Det var i begyndelsen af virksomhedernes globalisering, og mit afrikanske instinkt var præget af ængstelse og endda frygt. Alligevel var min skoleleder, Uffe Elbæk´s sidste ord til mig da jeg havde besluttet mig for at drage videre, "Hvis du føler det dybt nede i maven, så gør det". Min coach David Storkholm spurgte mig “Er du klar over hvad det er du giver afkald på?”. Jeg var mere end klar over det, men jeg vidste hvad jeg som Afrikaner var nødt til at komme igang med, og det omgående!

Bevæbnet kun med min musik, Rastafari, Marcus Garvey og Nelson Mandela’s eksempler, følte jeg mig sikker på, at med korrekt anvendt offervilje, kunne jeg og millioner af afrikanere bestemme vores kontinents skæbne. I dag er jeg glad for at kunne sige, at jeg står med en nuanceret projektbeskrivelse, der bryder med standardopfattelsen af Afrika-problemet og er mere end i stand til at overvinde alle de hindringer, som i årtier er blevet identificeret af utallige ekspertanalyser.

Lad mig gøre det klart fra starten, at jeg ikke beder nogen regering om at komme med løsninger. Jeg angiver snarere den rolle, som regeringerne skal spille, hvis de virkelig ønsker det bedste for det afrikanske folk. Det er karakteristisk, at mine projekter reagerer på rammer, retningslinjer, anbefalinger, kapacitet og anmodninger, der allerede er ratificeret og iværksat af bl.a. regeringer, økonomer osv og derfor er dette en test af, hvor ægte og engagerede erklæringer fra alle sider egentligt er.

Jeg vil hermed præsentere CCSR, som, hvis den anvendes, vil bringe en løsning på socioøkonomisk utilstrækkelighed, geopolitiske spændinger og individuel sikkerhed. CCSR er en forkortelse for Comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility (omfattende socialt ansvar for virksomheder). Det inkorporerer ideen om beskatning af jordværdi som det tekniske grundlag for forskellige platforme, der er designet til at øge udvekslingshastigheden inden for rammerne af kvantitetsteorien om pengeforsyning ifølge Keynes.

Jordværdibeskatning er en del af den klassiske økonomi ifølge Adam Smith og David Ricardo. Dens rødder er dog faktisk meget ældre end det. Den er beskrevet i Bibelen i 3. Mosebog 25 og Salme 24. Den er karakteristisk for inuitternes, indianernes og khoisernes tilgang til jord, og den er udbredt blandt bantu-folket, som jeg selv tilhører gennem min Igbo-, Ngoni-, Tonga-, Chewa- og Swazi-arv.  I en dansk sammenhæng blev den udnyttet af kong Sven Tveskæg i 986-1014. I Amerika blev den kaldt "The Single Tax" af journalisten og borgmesteren i New York, Henry George 1839-1897. I Danmark, hvor den hedder Grundskyld, blev den efter en 45 år lang demokratisk proces indført på 4 % af markedsværdien af en trekløverregering bestående af Socialdemokraterne, De Radikale og Retsforbundet i 1957.

I dag beregnes Grundskylden i promiller, altså så lavt at den umuligt kan erstatte skatten og momsen, som den egentlig er til for, og derfor har den ingen indflydelse på økonomiske dynamiker, bortset fra at vaere en indkomst for staten ved siden af ejendomskatten. Så hvidt jeg ved, er den i færd med at blive hævet i forskellige kommuner og indfrosset som lån af RealKredit. Det har jeg for meget at sige om, som jeg bliver nødt til at gøre på et andet tidspunkt og helst i Kommunale fora.

Jeg er sikker på, at Statsministeren vil huske, at et af de mest presserende spørgsmål før Corona, var konflikten mellem kommunerne og staten. Denne type konflikt opstår på grund af den manglende beskatning af jordværdien, der er indført til direkte finansiering af lokale behov, og som erstatter en stor del af indkomstskatten og momsen. Det er en universel løsning, som virkede meget godt for Danmark, og det er faktisk noget, som jeg gerne vil presse min fætter, kongen af Swaziland, til at indføre, da han ejer det meste af jorden i Swaziland. Det er en idé, som kan løse Sydafrikas anspændte forhold til jordfordeling. Det er noget, som jeg vil præsentere for den tidligere præsident Thabo Mbeki’s fond, en af arkitekterne bag NEPAD (New Partnership For African Development.

Netop NEPAD er en af retningslinjerne for denne præsentation, som er en direkte reaktion på dens manifest fra oktober 2001. I kapitel 4 appellerer de afrikanske ledere til Afrika’s befolkninger om at skabe platforme for mobilisering og selvbestemmelse. De afrikanske ledere har ikke været alene om at lægge planer for Afrika. I 2004, næsten umiddelbart efter NEPAD-manifestet, nedsatte Tony Blair Kommissionen for Afrika, der bestod af følgende medlemmer:

Tony Blair (Chair) – Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East

Fola Adeola – Chairman of the FATE Foundation (Nigeria)

K. Y. Amoako – Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, (Ghana)

Nancy Kassebaum Baker – Former Senator (United States)

Hilary Benn – Former Secretary of State for International Development (United Kingdom)

Gordon Brown – Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Michel Camdessus – Africa Personal Representative (France)

Bob Geldof – Musician and founder of Live Aid (Ireland)

Ralph Goodale – Former Finance Minister (Canada)

Ji Peiding – Member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and its Foreign Affairs Committee (China)

William S. Kalema – chairman of the board of the Uganda Investment Authority (Uganda)

Trevor Manuel – Minister of Finance (South Africa)

Benjamin Mkapa – Former President of Tanzania

Linah Mohohlo – Governor of the Bank of Botswana (Botswana)

Tidjane Thiam – Group Strategy and Development Director Aviva PLC, (Côte d'Ivoire)

Anna Tibaijuka – Director of UN HABITAT and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations (Tanzania)

Meles Zenawi – Prime Minister of Ethiopia (died on 20 August 2012)

Kommissionen for Afrika var et passende og formidabelt svar på NEPAD's mål om at skabe en ny atmosfære af partnerskab om Afrikas udvikling. Dens 500 siders rapport fra marts 2005 indeholdt en køreplan, som blev fulgt op af politisk vilje fra G8, og der blev gjort visse fremskridt. Dog har dette imidlertid ikke ført til en reel udryddelse af fattigdommen i Afrika. Ligesom millenniumudviklingsmålene og COP-miljøtopmøderne har vi været udsat for frugtesløse opfølgninger. Dette bringer mig til Deres Marshall-plan for Afrika.

Jeg er klar over, at De som leder af Socialdemokraterne erklærede, at De tilsluttede Dem en Marshallplan for Afrika, som EU havde udarbejdet. Jeg tager også behørigt til efterretning, at denne erklæring blev fremsat, før De kom til magten som premierminister og dermed før Corona og Ukraine, . Måske så Afrika anderledes ud for Dem dengang. Ikke desto mindre må De velsignes for sådanne kærlige erklæringer over for vores kontinent. Så som tingene ser ud nu, er jeg lidt usikker på, i hvilket omfang Marshallplanen stadig er relevant. Det, jeg ved, er, at de afrikanske problemer stadig eksisterer, og at vi som afrikanere er mere end parate til at løse dem,og at denne plan handler om at løse dem på vores betingelser.

 EU's Marshallplan for Afrika foreslog at skabe 20 millioner arbejdspladser om året i Afrika. Jeg er ikke sikker på, om nogen af disse job nogensinde er blevet til noget, men jeg er ret sikker på, at hvis der skabes sådanne job, er det de afrikanske arbejdsløse, der bør få det at vide på første hånd. Jeg ser det som min pligt at sørge for, at en symbolsk geopolitisk erklæring fra EU skal mødes med det ultimative afrikanske socioøkonomiske svar.

Uanset om de 20 millioner arbejdspladser vil blive skabt og finansieret af EU eller ej, er vores holdning som afrikanere, at nøglen til en vellykket jobskabelse ligger i arten af arbejdspladserne. Hvis jobbene ikke skabes med det formål at vende virkningerne af arven fra slaveri, kolonialisme og apartheid, vil de ikke tjene noget andet formål end at videreføre disse destruktive dynamikker. Derfor udarbejder vi en plan på 10 milliarder dollars som en køreplan for alle initiativer vedrørende Afrika. Planen skal ledes og finansieres af afrikanerne i samråd med verden. Til denne vinkel er der er mange samstemmende holdninger i høj grad.

Den 4. november 2022, min fødselsdag, offentliggjorde de danske udviklingseksperter Anne Mette Kjaer og Peter Frøslev Christensen en artikel med klare anbefalinger om de parametre, der er mest befordrende for Afrikas økonomiske fremskridt. Jeg er stadig ved at komme til at forstå, hvor perfekt en fødselsdagsgave det var. Den bekræfter alle mine idéer og giver yderligere legitimitet til denne tale, og den understreger især, at hvis Afrika skal komme videre, skal afrikanske stemmer underbygge fortællingen.

Tilbage i 2018 svarede Mathias Søgaard, din kollega på Afrikastudier ved Københavns Universitet, med en ret konstruktiv kritik af Marshallplanen. Den fremhævede farerne ved selektiv præsentation af statistikker for at tjene en politisk dagsorden. Det er jeg meget taknemmelig for, for sammen med upræcise fortællinger følger uhensigtsmæssige politikker, der enten kolliderer med eller fratages centrale dynamikker. Det kommunistiske dagblad INFORMATION har også bidraget med en mere politisk motiveret udtalelse sammen med Dansk Folkeparti. Selvom Dansk Folkeparti og Information ideologisk set måske står i modsatte poler, var de stort set enige om, hvor langt fra afrikansk tankegang, entusiasme og selvbestemmelse de er. Alligevel er alt dette nyttigt råmateriale til fornyelse af CCSR, for det vigtigste i CCSR er dynamikken, hvad enten den er negativ eller positiv.

ZISAKUDUTSE PLANET FESTIVALS.

Mens jeg skriver, forhandler De med andre partier om at danne en regering. Det har mere end én gang slået mig, at måske er Afrika-politikken den virkelige fællesnævner, der skal bruges til at fastlægge Danmarks politiske kurs for de næste fem år. Afrika er trods alt en vigtig aktør i verdenshistorien. Derfor mener jeg at der skal gøres meget mere for at understrege hvor vigtig og nødvendig det afrikanske perspektiv er. Dertil har jeg i sinde at etablere en verdensomspændende folkebevægelse, ved navnet ZISAKUDUTSE, som skal danne grundlag forinternationaludvikling af den mest hensigtsmæssig udviklings paradigme for Afrika. Ideen er at de samlede initiativer og indsigt, systematisk bliver harmoniseret for at gå op i en højere enhed.

På Chichewa, det andet officielle sprog efter Engelsk i Malawi, betyder Zisakudutse “Carpe Diem”. Jeg opfordrer alle Malawianer til at gribe chancen for at gøre en forskel og forbedre tilværelsen. Jeg forklarer Zisakudutse’s hensiger og baggrund bredt i et brev fra 2019, til Hendes Majestæt Dronning Margrethe den Anden. Jeg forklarer også, hvorfor jeg overhovedet skrev til Hendes Majetæt.

For mig at se, er Kongehuset et nyttigt redskab til at vedligeholde en vis kontinuitet og overblik som tit går tabt i den konfliktpræget demokratiske process.Hvis der er noget som verden og afrikansk udvikling har brug for, så er det overblik og kontinuitet. Vores projekter skal være langtidsiget med så få politiske forhindringer som muligt. Derfor er det vigtigt for mig og alle andre medvirkende at have Dronningen’s position som et fast punkt i vores navigation.

Det tager tid at udvikle noget som jeg har tænkt mig at ZISAKUDUTSE skal blive. Konceptet blev skitset i 2019 og den første udgave af en festival blev afholdt i Juli ved STEEL HOUSE COPENHAGEN. I 2021, mens jeg arbejdede som WWOOFER ved SKOLEN FOR LIVET på Møn, fik jeg lejlighed til at lave en bedre skitse af den fremtidige organisation. Jeg ønsker at Zisakudutse bliver det sammenhængende organ, der integrerer alle Afrikas interessenter i synkroniserede arrangementer , som skal finansieres af medlems- og deltagergebyrer. En form for nationalt lotteri, som alle køber en billet til, og som alle har fordel af, fordi resultatet ikke er overladt til held eller tilfældigheder, men er bestemt af en bevidst planlægning. Eller, en international skat som skal tilgodese dynamiker som forløser alt som forhindrer positiv udvikling.

Zisakudute’s Konstant akkumulerede gebyrer skal udelukkende tjene som sikkerhed for kommercielle banklån. Dette stemmer ens med den tilgang som DANIDA har vedtaget, hvor retningslinjerne hegunstiger privat virksomhed. Ved at afspejle folkets medvirken, kan en mere nøjagtig vurdering af BNP etableres og dermed den rette udviklingspolitik. En udviklingspolitik som forminsker antallet og omfanget af store nationale lån, med urealistike prognoser. Det er i min optik, nødvendigt at etablere Zisakudutse fordi, ingen af organisatonerne skabt på Afrikas vejne, har omfattende gennemslagskraft. Det siger jeg fordi de ikke har formået at forene klasser i gensidigt fungerende samarbejde. Når udviklingspolitik skaber splittelse så kan den næppe beskrives som fuldent

Der hersker i Malawi en mistro og skepsis mellem og blandt klasserne, som gøre det umuligt at afvikle projekter i den grad som de fremstår i en projektbeskrivelse. Det er netop denne afgørende problematik, som jeg mener at jeg har fundet løsningen til. Ser du, den nøjagtig oversættelse af Zisakudutse er “ lad ikke dig selv gå glip af alt det gode som livet har at byde på og som du ser andre nyde og få glæde af”. Hvis dette bliver alle afrikaneres hensigt og ønske for hindanden så kommer hele verden langt.

PARTNERE I MALAWI

REGERING OG PRÆSIDENT

Vores vigtigste partner i Malawi er først og fremmest regeringen. Det gør jeg klart i et brev til vores præsident. Igen peger jeg på det strukturelle som kilde til uheldige udviklinger. Personligt bryder jeg mig ikke om udtrykket "ikke-statslig organisation", da det indeholder en undergravende dynamik, som jeg har været vidne til i praksis.

Til præsidenten og til alle interessenter i Afrika, understreger jeg behovet for en afrocentreret reform af de standardforfatninger, der anvendes til registrering af NGO er. En del af grunden til, at bistanden til Afrika har været ineffektiv i flere årtier, er de vedtagne strukturer for ngo'er, som er i modstrid med vores gamle afrikanske skike, kultur og sociale værdier. Ligesom kollisionen med vestlig lovgivning fører i mange tilfælde til korruption…og det, der klassificeres som korruption, men som i Afrikansk optik egentligt ikke er det.

TRADITIONELLE MYNDIGHEDER

Vores første kontaktpunkt er altid den lokale høvding. I forbindelse med alle mine projekter kontaktede jeg først høvdingen og delte min vision med ham. Jeg forklarede, at det ville tage lang tid at gennemføre, da jeg arbejdede alene. De forstod det og gav mig tilladelse og moralsk støtte. Afrikas socioøkonomiske udvikling skal bygge på det fundament, der er lagt af vores mange forskellige gamle kulturer. Kolonialretten, som den er repræsenteret af vores regeringer, er et nyttigt redskab som en del af løsningen, men kan ikke alene opfylde vores ambitioner. At navigere i farvandet af kulturelle og koloniale konflikter er en videnskab i sig selv og bør indgå i skolernes pensum i hele Afrika.

DISTRIKTSFORSAMLING (Borgmester Kontoret) aka BOMA.

Når de traditionelle myndigheder har givet tilladelse til et projekt, går vi videre til distriktsforsamlingen, som hjælper os med at arbejde sammen med vores regering. I forbindelse med denne præsentation påtog vi os opgaven at genplante 35.000 hektar traditionel skov. I samarbejde med skovbrugsministeriet’s Mchinji afdeling, under Hastings Kantenga udviklede vi i 2017 et pilotprojekt til at plante 19 hektar. Når jeg vender tilbage til Malawi, vil vi færdiggøre de 35 000 hektar under den globale kampagne PLANT A TREE AND CLEAN THE OCEAN (plant et træ og rens havet). Vores arbejde på stedet blev udført af Chisomo Njewa fra Malawi og finansieret af Nykke Ford, som er Afro-amerikaner fra Charlotte North Carolina.

CIVILSAMFUNDET I MALAWI

Det malawiske civilsamfund er af afgørende betydning for at holde regeringen til ansvar. Mens de fleste internationale aktivister har en tendens til at fokusere på menneskerettigheder, hævder jeg, at manglen på økonomiske rettigheder er den grundlæggende krænkelse af menneskerettighederne. Derfor begrænser jeg min deltagelse i civilsamfundsgrupper til kun én, nemlig MEJN-Malawi Economic Justice Network. Deres arbejde drejer sig hovedsagelig om at vurdere regeringens nationale budget (finansloven). I fremtiden kan jeg forestille mig, at MEJN kan blive den administrative rygrad i et landsdækkende 12 Gruppe netværk. (Forklaring af “12 Gruppe” foreligger)

DEN PRIVATE SEKTOR

Heri ligger grundlaget til hele projektet og fremgangsmåden. Den private sektor i hele verden tjener alle de penge hjem som fordeles i alle samfund. Dette gælder osse Malawi. Den nyere udviklingsparadigme som DANIDA nu følger har taget dette til underetning og har nu etableret nye retningslinjer. Derfor er det indlysende at arbejde inden for disse rammer. CCSR skal derfor begunstige den private sektors virke og samtidigt tilgodese samfundets behov. Dette er selvfølgelig Statens opgave, men har staten det rette værktøj? Når det kommer til stykket, så er alt det politiske underordnet og det principelle, praktiske, og tekniske altafgørende, uanset den nationale styreform. Den private sektors fortjeneste skaber klasseforskel og al klasseforskel skal enten overskrides eller anvendes til nytte for helheden. Det er nemt at sige,men hvad er metoden og hvilke værktøj kan man bruge? CCSR er svaret som fremgangsmåde. Hvordan og i hvilken omfang, diverse private tilegner sig CCSR er afhængig af faktorerne som er på spil. CCSR kan fleksibelt tilpasses konstant udvikling, samtidigt med at den er et forsvarligt førløb som ikke kan ændre kurs før målet er nået.

HEEED

Den organisation i Malawi, som i min erfaring har bedst udviklet de grundlæggende komponenter som CCSR skal bestå af CCSR i Malawi, er HEEED. HEEED står for Health, Education,Environment and Economic Development. Med så altomfattende en titel er det svært at komme uden om dem hvis man vil udrette noget i Malawi. Grundlagt af ejerne af CAPE MACLEAR ECO LODGE ,Professor KENNETH McKAYE fra USA, og ALISON WIKLUND fra Finland i samarbejde med WWF FINLAND tilbyder de en ydylisk oplevelse.

Dertil er RIKI ANDERSON, ejer af MUFASA ECO LODGE i MONKEY BAY, og GODFREY MFITI en af de få uddannet marinebiologer i Malawi, også bestyrelsemedlemmer. Et andet medlem var den nu afdøde “Bykonge” af Monkey Bay, Mr Shawa, som jeg fik til at medvirke i en video som lagde grundlag for mulig CCSR i området.

Det smarte ved HEEED er at organisationen hviler på solid international anerkendelse (WWF og UNESCO) og befinder sig i hjertet af en Afrikansk landsby. CHEMBE VILLAGE er sikkert den mest ombejlet landsby i hele Afrika, som på forunderlig vis er blevet rigtig dygtig til at balancere de afrikanske,vestlige, samt de hvide sydafrikanske dynamikker. Udover de gængse skandaler og drama episoder, sometider tilført turistisk tilsnit, er Chembe den mest oplagte ramme for CCSR og CIPR. I tilfælde af stor fundraising kampagner er det nok HEEED som jeg vil vælge at samarbejde med.

12 GRUPPERNE (12By12)

12 Grupperne er et genialt anvendeligt redskab i alle organistorike sammenhæng. 12 er den rette størrelse for enhver arbejdsgruppe, hold eller klasse. Hele verden burde organiseres i grupper a 12 mennesker om opgaver som hænger sammen og som i sidste ende går op i en højere enhed. I den afrikanske sammenhæng er det nok mest smart at tilførelse af finansiellehjælpemidler sker gennem en bankkonto som 12 samarbejdende individer har tilsammen. 12 grupperne har er foretrukket fordi

1. De udbreder det finansielle infrastruktur helt til de fjerneste liggende områder og dermed øger statens beskatnings grundlag

2. De lægger op til en fleksibilitet som almindelige organisationer ikke er i stand til at tilbyde og dermed øger udvekslingshastigheden

3. De skaber en solidaritet som almindelige organisationer ikke kan og dermed skærpere effektiviteten

4. De giver anledning til positiv konkurrence.

5. De giver anledning til innovation og nytænkning

6. De giver mulighed for at skabe en identitet og formindsker ønsket om at rejse fra Malawi.

7. De formindsker korruption.

8. Misbrug af bistands penge kan meget lettere følges op.

9. De overskrider klasse og etniske barrier ved at levere gensidigt gavnlige tjenester.

I henhold til ZISAKUDUTSE, skal 70% af 12 gruppernes tid dedikeres til udvikling af permakultur under ledelse af LUWAYO BISWICK’s PERMACULTURE PARADISE INSTITUTE. At 70 % tid dedikeret til permakultur begrundes af nødvendigheden for, én gang for alle, at garantere fødevaresikkerhed i Malawi. Den resterende 30% af tiden kan anvendes til udfoerske nye ideer, sammenhæng, samarbejde osv.

Jeg er overbevist om at 12 Grupperne er vejen frem og det villle glæde mig hvis NYOMI ROSWELL, grundlæggeren af ICCM WASTE MANAGEMENT er enig, hvilket jeg tror fuldt og fast på at hun er. ICCM er den organisation som i sidste ende skal sende 50.000 ark papir fra Malawi til København. De genbrugte ark skal samles fra hele landet og ICCM står for kordinationen af den del af projektet. Ved at importere genbrugt papir fra Afrika er vi med til at

1. Støtte en alternativ eksport end f eks tobak

2. Aktivere hele landet i alt som er miljø anliggende

3. Ryde pænt op

4. Danne nye samarbejdsnetværk i Malawi og internationalt

PLANT A TREE AND CLEANTHE OCEAN. 50.000 ARK A4 PAPIR FRA MALAWI TIL KBH.

Hvis hele verdensbefolkningen skulle organiseres under et slogan så ville PLANT A TREE AND CLEAN THE OCEAN ikke være den ringeste. Her vil 12 grupperne også gælde og allerede nu mærker jeg gejsten ved tanken om virskomheder, butikker, cafeer, restauranter, skoler osv selvorganiseret 12x12, omkring et fælles mål. Den ide vil jeg afprøve omgående i København

For at illustrere, hvordan de forskellige komponenter i 10-milliarder-dollarplanen fungerer, vil der blive iværksat et mikrokosmisk pilotprojekt i København. Interessenterne skal være et tværsnit af alle afrikanske klasser, traditionelle myndigheder, civilsamfundet, ngo'er, regeringer, banker, forsikringsselskaber, milliardærer, millionærer, det europæiske civilsamfund, sociale fora, velgørenhedsorganisationer, private sektorer, offentlige sektorer, regeringer, internationale organisationer - især FN og Commonwealth - og endelig det afroamerikanske og caribiske civilsamfund. Sammen vil vi importere 50 000 ark genbrugspapir fra Malawi til København. Papiret skal bla bruges til at trykke markedsføringsfoldere for kriseramte virksomheder i København, som skal promoveres hovedsageligt gennem BIG SPLIFF PROMOTION, der fungerer under mit selskab KING OF AFRICA PUBLISHING.

Markedet for folderne skal primært være skoler, der beskæftiger sig med miljø og klimaændringer under sloganet PLANT A TREE AND CLEAN THE OCEAN. Den første skole, som vi vil sende vores kampagnemateriale til, er SKOLEN FOR LIVET på Møn , hvor jeg ikke blot præsenterede min sang PLANT A TREE AND CLEAN THE OCEAN, men også fik lavet en oversigt over ZISAKUDUTSE FESTIVAL.

METTE FREDERIKSEN I BRUGSEN I STEGE PÅ MØN.

Mens jeg havde travlt med det, løb jeg ind i dig i Brugsen. Din mand og dine undercover sikkerhedspersonale var med. De så nu ikke sæerligt undercover ud, som de stod ved mælkekøleskabet med solbriller på. Gad vide om der var en farlig virus i mælken! Jeg troede, at nogen var i gang med at filme Blues Brothers Møn. Mens jeg skyndte mig tildenafdeling hvor de var, forbi afskilning til højer for mig, stod jeg pludselig foran dig.

Jeg husker tydeligt at efter den første overaskelse, som vi begge hurtigt kom over, efter en hilsen, og hvor vi hver fik handlet videre, endte det med at vi gik til kassen samtidigt. I al den tid tænkte jeg på at invitere dig til Zisakudutse Festivalen, men besluttede i sidste endte for at du nok var på ferie og havde brug for fred.

Jeg tvivlede på at du overhovede ku li Reggae. Dog havde jeg lige komponeret “Der Er Et Yndigt Land” i en Reggae version….så måske….og alligevel måske ikke. Dig og din mand stod ved kassen over for mig og i blev færdig. Da i passerede mig delte vi alle tre at venligt blik, og jeg sagde “Kom godt hjem” hvortil du svarede “ Ja tak og i lige måde” .

I dag tænker jeg…wauw! Sikke et sammentræf, at i det øjeblik jeg tog en pause fra at planlægge inholdet af lige netop dette brev, dukkede du op. Festivalen fik ikke særlig mange gæster men et eller andet sted kan vi hævde at vi fik beøg af Statsministeren!

 Skolen For Livet bød på yderligere to synkroniciteter, der er relevante for denne præsentation. Den ene er, at Kasper Jørgensen, skolens grundlæggere’s onkel Karsten, var en kollega til min danske stedfar Hans Jørgen Andersen i Zambia, da jeg kun var 8 år gammel. Og den anden er, at to af eleverne på skolen var oldebørn af Britta Thorning, som er min allerførste danske forbindelse nogensinde. Jeg mødte hende, da jeg som 1-årig blev bragt til hospitalet i Kasama for at blive vaccineret - ja, vi havde COVID-vaccine i Zambia i 1971. Som sagt er vi afrikanere altid forude. Just sayin…..

CIPR (COOL MUM RECORDS, NEXT STOPZANZIBAR, KICK FOR AFRICA, BIG SPLIFF THE MOVIE)

Den sidste nyskabelse i denne præsentation er CIPR.. Collective Intellectual Property Right- Kollektive Ophavsret på Dansk. Grundlæggende, anvender CIPR alle de tekniske detaljer i en fungerende musik, fodbold og film industri. Dog skælner det sig ved at indrette sig til at gavne den rolle, som mødre spiller i vores liv.

Cool Mum Records er udformet på baggrund af kønsøkonomiens dynamik og den kraftfulde lokke, som musikken og musikindustrien har på ungdommen. Ved at reducere de udnyttende elementer og erstatte dem med de nærende aspekter af moderskab, belønnes mødre for at have bragt talentfulde individer til verden. Det feminine i Cool Mum Records balanceres af de faderlige aspekter igennem forlaget KING OF AFRICA PUBLISHING som bevidst skaber nye markeder hele tiden,overalt.

CCSR og CIPR er faktisk Cool Mum Records egentlige salgsprodukt og dermed står vi spidsen for denne igangværende transformation af musikbranchen. Vi har til hensigt at globalisere så hurtigt som muligt med et altomfattende program, Det sker i form af en planlagt årlig generalforsamling med henblik på at udvikle en global forfatning for kvinder. Forfatningsmøderne åbnes hver 8. marts (Kvindernes International Kampdag) på øen Zanzibar under navnet NEXT STOP ZANZIBAR. Navnet spiller på tidligere danske bevægelser, Next Stop Nevada og Next Stop Soviet. NEXT STOP bevægelserne fascinere mig. De satte gang i alt det some senere blev til Frontløberne, Kaospiloterne og Alternativet.

BIG SPLIFF THE MOVIE er det første CIPR projekt lanceret af COOL MUM RECORDS og dette forgår på Jamaica, Teneriffe, Los Angeles og Christiania. Der findes meget info om filmen her på websiden.

KICK FOR AFRICA

Ligesom en stor del af drenge i verden, er jeg meget glad for fodbold. Set fra en socialøkonomisk vinkel bemærekede jeg noget særligt ved Malawiske landsbyfodboldhold som ikke fandtes andre steder. De var ærlige, tilregnelige, klar til arbejde, havde supplerende aktiviter for at støtte deres virke, og var gode til langtidsiget planlægning.

Derfor sætter jeg min lid til fodboldspillerne i Malawi til at udvikle alle aspeker af CCSR of CIPR. Sammen med en forhenværende angriber på nationaldoldet, RUSSO MWAFULIRWA er vi igang med at skabe en ZISAKUDUTSE LIGA. Her kommer CIPR og CCSR igen på spil, der hvor det gælder mest-kontrakterne. Vi er i gang med at formulere kontrakter som garantere at en procentdel af en fodboldspiller’s fremtidig indtægt vil altid være til gavn for et fælles landsbysprojekt.

WALK THE TALK

Drivkraften til at mobilisere og aktivere afrikanere og resten af verden bag alle disse innovationer og platforme skal være WALK THE TALK- en 18.000 kilometers gåtur fra Cape Town til Kairo, præget af rådhusmøder, fodboldkampe og koncerter. Gennem alle ovenstående og mange andre lignende projekter, aktiviteter og produkter vender vi fattigdommens dynamik og etablerer et velstående, stabilt, fredeligt og forenet Afrika. Gåturen er et meget symbolsk svar til kolonisten Cecil Rhodes, som ville bygge en jernbane fra Cape til Kairo til fordel for egne og Britiske interesser.

Med en gåtur, prøver jeg at slå fast at Afrika’s udvikling ikke er så meget afhængig af teknologi og penge end af gode planer, sammenhold, krop og viljestyrke. Mellem 2013 og 2015 var jeg i Sydafrika for træne og afprøve nogle af mine ideer. Det var en vidunderlig tid som blev til i alt 1000km og en del lærige ophold blandt alle de Sydafrikanske racer. Jeg fik aflivet mange fordomme samtidgt med at jeg fik andre bekræftet. Overalt blev mit projekt modtaget meget positivt og jeg glæder mig til igen at starte forefra under meget bedre organiserede forhold. Her er en liste af byerne som jeg gik igennem.

The purpose of this article was established in 1999, when I left Team 6 at Kaospilot's School Of Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Innovation, in Aarhus, with the aim of ending African poverty once and for all through Reggae music. My first stop was at Amnesty International, where I used my newly acquired skills to mark the UN Day Against Torture (26 June). The project was called the Amnesty Street Music Awards and was opened by Mayor Flemming Knudsen at Aarhus City Hall Square.

Refugees, victims of torture, and PTSD experts shared insights at the Aarhus City Library. Meanwhile, musicians performed on the streets and in selected cafes, while our judges went around anonymously to pick the winners. The award itself was made by the artist Hans Krull. The picture for our poster was drawn by my former classmate from the Kaospilots Herman from Iceland. But best of all, we covered our expenses through many small sponsorships from Aarhus companies, all of which donated 501 kroner each. The one crown was for the company to get the amount back in taxes. So the companies contributed ONE krona. I didn't have a name for it then, but now I can clearly see that I was doing CCSR... Comprehensive Corporate Social ResponsibilityDuring the month I attended the Kaospilot school, so much had been demystified, while new challenges had been clarified. It was the beginning of corporate globalisation, and my African instinct was tinged with anxiety and even fear. Yet my headmaster, Uffe Elbæk's last words to me when I had decided to move on were, "If you feel it deep down, do it". My coach David Storkholm asked me "Do you know what you are giving up?". I was more than aware, but I knew what I had to do as an African, and I had to do it now!

 Armed only with my music, Rastafari, Marcus Garvey and Nelson Mandela's examples, I felt confident that with properly applied sacrifice, I and millions of Africans could determine the destiny of our continent. Today, I am happy to say that I stand with a nuanced project description that breaks with the standard perception of the Africa problem and is more than capable of overcoming all the obstacles that have been identified for decades by countless expert analyses.

 Let me be clear from the outset that I am not asking any government to come up with solutions. Rather, I am indicating the role that governments must play if they truly want the best for the African people. It is characteristic that my projects respond to frameworks, guidelines, recommendations, capacities and requests that have already been ratified and implemented by governments, economists, etc. and therefore this is a test of how genuine and committed statements from all sides really are.

.I hereby present the CCSR, which, if applied, will bring a solution to socio-economic inadequacy, geopolitical tensions and individual security. CCSR is an acronym for Comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility. It incorporates the idea of land value taxation as the technical basis for various platforms designed to increase the rate of exchange within the framework of the quantity theory of money supply according to Keynes.

 Land value taxation is part of classical economics according to Adam Smith and David Ricardo. However, its roots are actually much older than that. It is characteristic of the Inuit, Indian and Khoi approach to land, and it is widespread among the Bantu people, to whom I belong through my Igbo, Ngoni, Tonga, Chewa and Swazi heritage. 

In a Danish context it was exploited by King Sven Forkbeard in 986-1014. In America it was called "The Single Tax" by the journalist and mayor of New York, Henry George 1839-1897. In Denmark, where it is called Grundskyld, it was introduced after a 45-year democratic process at 4% of market value by a tripartite government of the Social Democrats, the Radicals and the League of Laws in 1957. Today, the Land Tax is calculated in per mille, so low that it cannot possibly replace the tax and VAT for which it is intended, and therefore has no impact on economic dynamics, except to be an income for the state alongside the property tax. As far as I know, it is being collected in various municipalities and frozen as a loan by RealKredit. I have too much to say about that, which I will have to do at another time.

I am sure that the Prime Minister will remember that one of the most pressing issues before Corona was the conflict between the municipalities and the State. This type of conflict arises because of the lack of land value taxation, which is introduced to directly finance local needs and which replaces a large part of income tax and VAT. It is a universal solution that worked very well for Denmark and it is actually something that I would like to push my cousin, the King of Swaziland, to introduce, as he owns most of the land in Swaziland. It is an idea that could solve South Africa's tense land-sharing relationship. It is something that I will present to the foundation of former President Thabo Mbeki, one of the architects of NEPAD (New Partnership For African Development.

 NEPAD in particular is one of the guidelines for this presentation, which is a direct response to its manifesto of October 2001. In Chapter 4, African leaders appeal to the people of Africa to create platforms for mobilisation and self-determination. African leaders have not been alone in laying plans for Africa. In 2004, almost immediately after

The Commission for Africa was a fitting and formidable response to NEPAD's goal of creating a new atmosphere of partnership for Africa's development. Its 500-page report of March 2005 provided a roadmap, which was followed by political will from the G8, and some progress was made. However, this has not led to real poverty eradication in Africa. Like the Millennium Development Goals and the COP environment summits, we have had fruitless follow-ups. This brings me to your Marshall Plan for Africa.

I am aware that, as leader of the Social Democrats, you declared your support for a Marshall Plan for Africa drawn up by the European Union. I also duly note that this declaration was made before you came to power as Prime Minister and therefore before Corona and Ukraine. Perhaps Africa looked different to you then. Nevertheless, you should be blessed for such loving declarations to our continent. So, as things stand, I am a little unsure to what extent the Marshall Plan is still relevant. What I do know is that the African problems still exist and that we as Africans are more than ready to solve them, and that this plan is about solving them on our terms.

 The EU Marshall Plan for Africa proposed to create 20 million jobs a year in Africa. I am not sure if any of these jobs have ever materialised, but I am pretty sure that if such jobs are created, it is the African unemployed who should know first-hand. I see it as my duty to ensure that a symbolic geopolitical statement by the European Union is met with the ultimate African socio-economic response.

Whether or not the 20 million jobs will be created and funded by the EU, our position as Africans is that the key to successful job creation lies in the nature of the jobs. If the jobs are not created with the aim of reversing the effects of the legacies of slavery, colonialism and apartheid, they will serve no purpose other than to perpetuate these destructive dynamics. That is why we are developing a $10 billion plan as a roadmap for all Africa-related initiatives. The plan must be led and funded by Africans in concert with the world. On this angle, there is much consensus.

On 4 November 2022, my birthday, Danish development experts Anne Mette Kjaer and Peter Frøslev Christensen published an article with clear recommendations on the parameters most conducive to Africa's economic progress. I am still coming to terms with how perfect a birthday present this was. It confirms all my ideas and gives further legitimacy to this speech, and in particular underlines that if Africa is to move forward, African voices must underpin the narrative.

Back in 2018, Mathias Søgaard, your colleague in African Studies at the University of Copenhagen, responded with a rather constructive critique of the Marshall Plan. It highlighted the dangers of selective presentation of statistics to serve a political agenda. I am very grateful for that, because along with inaccurate narratives come inappropriate policies that either clash with or deprive central dynamics. The communist daily INFORMATION has also contributed a more politically motivated opinion along with the Danish People's Party. Although the Danish People's Party and Information may be at opposite poles ideologically, they were largely in agreement about how far removed they are from African thought, enthusiasm and self-determination. Nevertheless, all this is useful raw material for the renewal of the CCSR, because the most important thing in the CCSR is the dynamic, whether it is negative or positive.

As I write, you are negotiating with other parties to form a government. It has struck me more than once that perhaps Africa policy is the real common denominator that will be used to set Denmark's political course for the next five years. After all, Africa is an important player in world history. I therefore believe that much more needs to be done to emphasise how important and necessary the African perspective is. To this end, I have set up a worldwide people's movement, called ZISAKUDUTSE, which will form the basis for the international development of the most appropriate development paradigm for Africa. The idea is to systematically harmonise the initiatives and insights to achieve a higher level of unity.

 ZISAKUDUTSE GLOBAL

In Chichewa, the second official language after English in Malawi, Zisakudutse means "Carpe Diem". I encourage all Malawians to seize the opportunity to make a difference and improve lives. I explain Zisakudutse's intentions and background broadly in a 2019 letter, to Her Majesty Queen Margrethe the Second. I also explain why I wrote to Her Majesty in the first place. To me, the Royal Family is a useful tool to maintain a certain continuity and overview that is often lost in the democratic process..and if there is anything African development needs, it is overview and continuity. Our projects need to be long term with as few political obstacles as possible. It takes time to develop something like I intend ZISAKUDUTSE to be. The concept was sketched in 2019 and the first edition of a festival was held in July at STEEL HOUSE COPENHAGEN.

In 2021, while working as a WWOOFER at the SCHOOL FOR LIFE on Møn, I had the opportunity to make a better sketch of the future organization. I want Zisakudutse to be the coherent body integrating all Africa's stakeholders in synchronized events , to be financed by membership and participation fees. A kind of national lottery to which everyone buys a ticket and from which everyone benefits because the outcome is not left to luck or chance but is determined by deliberate planning. Or, an international tax to benefit dynamics that redeem anything that prevents positive development.

Zisakudute's constant accumulated fees are to serve solely as collateral for commercial bank loans. By reflecting the participation of the people, a more accurate assessment of GDP can be established and thus the right development policy. It is, in my view, necessary to establish Zisakudutse because, none of the organizations created on the roads of Africa, have extensive impact. I say this because they have failed to unite classes in mutually functioning cooperation. When development policy creates division, it can hardly be described as fully

There is a mistrust and scepticism between and among classes in Malawi that makes it impossible to implement projects to the extent that they appear in a project description. It is precisely this crucial problem to which I believe I have found the solution. You see, the exact translation of Zisakudutse is "don't let yourself miss out on all the good that life has to offer and that you see others enjoying and taking pleasure from". If this becomes the intention and desire of all Africans for the hindand then the whole world will go far.

PARTNERS IN MALAWI

GOVERNMENT AND PRESIDENT

Our most important partner in Malawi is first and foremost the government. I make this clear in a letter to our President. Again, I point to the structural as the source of unfortunate developments. Personally, I do not like the term "non-governmental organisation" as it contains a subversive dynamic that I have witnessed in practice.

To the President and to all stakeholders in Africa, I stress the need for an Afrocentric reform of the standard constitutions used for the registration of NGOs. Part of the reason why aid to Africa has been ineffective for decades is the adopted structures for NGOs, which are at odds with our ancient African customs, culture and social values. As well as the clash with western law leading in many cases to corruption...and what is classed as corruption but in African terms is not really.

.TRADITIONAL AUTHORITIES

Our first point of contact is always the local chief. For all my projects, I first contacted the chief and shared my vision with him. I explained that it would take a long time to implement as I was working alone. They understood and gave me permission and moral support. Africa's socio-economic development must build on the foundations laid by our many different ancient cultures. Colonial law, as represented by our governments, is a useful tool as part of the solution, but cannot alone fulfil our ambitions. Navigating the waters of cultural and colonial conflict is a science in itself and should be part of the school curriculum across Africa.

DISTRIBUTION (Mayor's Office) aka BOMA.

Once the traditional authorities have given permission for a project, we move on to the District Assembly, which helps us work with our government. For this presentation, we undertook the task of replanting 35,000 hectares of traditional forest. Working with the Ministry of Forestry under Hastings Kantenga, we developed a pilot project in 2017 to plant 19 hectares. When I return to Malawi, we will complete the 35,000 hectares under the global PLANT A TREE AND CLEAN THE OCEAN campaign. Our work on the ground was carried out by Chisomo Njewa from Malawi and funded by Nykke Ford, an African-American from Charlotte North Carolina

CIVIL SOCIETY IN MALAWI

Malawian civil society is crucial to holding the government to account. While most international activists tend to focus on human rights, I argue that the lack of economic rights is the fundamental violation of human rights. Therefore, I limit my participation in civil society groups to only one, namely MEJN-Malawi Economic Justice Network. Their work mainly revolves around assessing the government's national budget (finance bill). In the future, I can imagine MEJN becoming the administrative backbone of a nationwide 12 Group network. (Explanation of "12 Group" available)

THE PRIVATE SECTOR

Herein lies the basis for the whole project and approach. The private sector throughout the world earns all the money that is distributed in all societies. This is also true for Malawi. The newer development paradigm that DANIDA is now following has taken this to heart and has now established new guidelines. It is therefore obvious to work within this framework. The CCSR must therefore favour private sector activity while addressing the needs of society. This is of course the role of the State, but does the State have the right tools? At the end of the day, whatever the form of national government, the political is secondary and the fundamental, practical and technical are paramount. Private sector profit creates class difference and all class difference must either be transcended or used for the benefit of the whole. That is easy to say, but what is the method and what tools can be used? CCSR is the answer as an approach. How and to what extent various individuals adopt CCSR depends on the factors at play. CCSR can be flexibly adapted to constant evolution, while being a sound precursor that cannot change course until the goal is reached.

HEEED

The organisation in Malawi that in my experience has best developed the basic components that CCSR should consist of CCSR in Malawi is HEEED. HEEED stands for Health, Education,Environment and Economic Development. With such an all-encompassing title, it is hard to avoid them if you want to achieve something in Malawi. Founded by the owners of CAPE MACLEAR ECO LODGE ,Professor KENNETH McKAYE from USA, and ALISON WIKLUND from Finland in collaboration with WWF FINLAND they offer a humbling experience.

In addition, RIKI ANDERSON, owner of MUFASA ECO LODGE in MONKEY BAY, and GODFREY MFITI one of the few trained marine biologists in Malawi, are also board members. Another member was the now deceased "City King" of Monkey Bay, Mr Shawa, whom I got to star in a video that laid the groundwork for possible CCSR in the area.

The clever thing about HEEED is that the organisation rests on solid international recognition (WWF and UNESCO) and is located in the heart of an African village. CHEMBE VILLAGE is probably the most visited village in all of Africa, which has miraculously become very adept at balancing African, Western, as well as white South African dynamics. Apart from the usual scandals and drama episodes, sometimes added to the tourism aspect, Chembe is the most obvious setting for CCSR and CIPR. In the case of major fundraising campaigns, it is probably HEEED with whom I would choose to collaborate.

12 GROUPS (12By12)

12 Groups are a brilliantly useful tool in any organistorike context. 12 is the right size for any working group, team or class. The whole world should be organised into groups of 12 people on tasks that are interrelated and ultimately add up to a whole. In the African context, it is probably smartest that the provision of financial aid is done through a bank account that 12 cooperating individuals have together. 12 groups are preferable because

They extend the financial infrastructure to the remotest areas, thereby increasing the state's tax base

They provide a flexibility that ordinary organisations are not able to offer and thus increase the speed of exchange

They create a solidarity that ordinary organisations cannot and thus sharpen efficiency

They give rise to positive competition.

They give rise to innovation and rethinking

They provide an opportunity to create an identity and reduce the desire to leave Malawi.

They reduce corruption.

Misuse of aid money can be followed up much more easily.

They transcend class and ethnic barriers by providing mutually beneficial services.

According to ZISAKUDUTSE, 70% of the 12 groups' time should be dedicated to permaculture development under the leadership of LUWAYO BISWICK'S PERMACULTURE PARADISE INSTITUTE. That 70% time dedicated to permaculture is justified by the need to, once and for all, guarantee food security in Malawi. The remaining 30% of time can be spent on developing new ideas, coherence, collaboration etc.

remaining 30% of time can be spent on developing new ideas, coherence, collaboration etc.

I am convinced that the 12 Groups are the way forward and I would be delighted if NYOMI ROSWELL, the founder of ICCM WASTE MANAGEMENT agrees, which I firmly believe she does. ICCM is the organisation that will eventually send 50,000 sheets of paper from Malawi to Copenhagen. The recycled sheets will be collected from all over the country and ICCM is in charge of coordinating that part of the project. By importing recycled paper from Africa, we are helping to

Support an alternative export to tobacco

Activate the whole country in environmental issues

Clean up the mess

Form new cooperation networks in Malawi and internationally

PLANT A TREE AND CLEAN THE OCEAN. 50.000 SHEETS OF A4 PAPER FROM MALAWI TO KBH.

If the entire world population were to be organized under one slogan, PLANT A TREE AND CLEAN THE OCEAN would not be the least. Here the 12 groups would also apply and already I feel the spirit at the thought of companies, shops, cafes, restaurants, schools etc self-organized 12x12, around a common goal. I will try this idea out immediately in Copenhagen

To illustrate how the various components of the $10 billion plan work, a microcosmic pilot project will be launched in Copenhagen. The stakeholders will be a cross-section of all African classes, traditional authorities, civil society, NGOs, governments, banks, insurance companies, billionaires, millionaires, European civil society, social fora, charities, private sectors, public sectors, governments, international organisations - notably the UN and the Commonwealth - and finally African-American and Caribbean civil society. Together we will import 50 000 sheets of recycled paper from Malawi to Copenhagen. The paper will be used to print marketing leaflets for businesses in crisis in Copenhagen, which will be promoted mainly through BIG SPLIFF PROMOTION, operating under my company KING OF AFRICA PUBLISHING.

The market for the leaflets will primarily be schools dealing with the environment and climate change under the slogan PLANT A TREE AND CLEAN THE OCEAN. The first school we will send our campaign material to is SKOLEN FOR LIVET on Møn , where I not only presented my song PLANT A TREE AND CLEAN THE OCEAN, but also got an overview of ZISAKUDUTSE FESTIVAL.

METTE FREDERIKSEN IN BRUGSEN IN STEGE ON MØN.

While I was busy doing that, I ran into you in the grocery store. Your husband and your undercover security people were there. They didn't look so undercover standing by the milk fridge with sunglasses on. I wonder if there was a dangerous virus in the milk! I thought someone was filming Blues Brothers Møn. As I hurried to the section where they were, past the partition to the right of me, I suddenly found myself standing in front of you.

I distinctly remember that after the initial surprise, which we both quickly got over, after a greeting, and where we each got on with our shopping, we ended up going to the checkout at the same time. All this time I thought about inviting you to the Zisakudutse Festival, but decided in the end that you were probably on holiday and needed some peace.

I doubted you would like Reggae at all. However, I had just composed "Der Er Et Yndigt Land" in a Reggae version....so maybe....and yet maybe not. You and your husband stood at the cash register across from me and you finished. As you passed me the three of us shared a friendly glance and I said "Have a nice trip home" to which you replied "Yes, thank you and you too".

Today I think...wow! What a coincidence that the moment I took a break from planning the content of this particular letter, you showed up. The festival didn't get very many guests but somewhere we can claim that we got a visit from the Prime Minister!

 The School For Life offered two further synchronicities relevant to this presentation. One is that Kasper Jørgensen, the founders' uncle Karsten, was a colleague of my Danish stepfather Hans Jørgen Andersen in Zambia when I was only 8 years old. And the other is that two of the students at the school were great-grandchildren of Britta Thorning, who is my very first Danish connection ever. I met her when I was brought to the hospital in Kasama at the age of 1 to be vaccinated - yes, we had COVID vaccine in Zambia in 1971. As I said, we Africans are always ahead. Just sayin.....

CIPR (COOL MUM RECORDS, NEXT STOPZANZIBAR, KICK FOR AFRICA, BIG SPLIFF THE MOVIE)

The last innovation in this presentation is CIPR.. Collective Intellectual Property Right- Collektive Ophavsret på Dansk. Basically, CIPR applies all the technicalities of a functioning music, football and film industry. However, it scales up to benefit the role that mothers play in our lives.Cool Mum Records is designed around the dynamics of the gender economy and the powerful lure that music and the music industry have on youth. By reducing the exploitative elements and replacing them with the nurturing aspects of motherhood, mothers are rewarded for bringing talented individuals into the world. The feminine of Cool Mum Records is balanced by the paternal aspects through the publishing house KING OF AFRICA PUBLISHING which is deliberately creating new markets all the time,everywhere.

CCSR and CIPR are actually Cool Mum Records' actual sales product and thus we are at the forefront of this ongoing transformation of the music industry. We intend to globalize as quickly as possible with an all-encompassing program, It takes the form of a planned annual general meeting aimed at developing a global constitution for women. The constitutional meetings will open every 8th March (International Women's Day) on the island of Zanzibar under the name NEXT STOP ZANZIBAR. The name plays on previous Danish movements, Next Stop Nevada and Next Stop Soviet. The NEXT STOP movements fascinate me. They started everything that later became Frontløberne, Kaospiloterne and Alternativet.

BIG SPLIFF THE MOVIE is the first CIPR project launched by COOL MUM RECORDS and this takes place in Jamaica, Teneriffe, Los Angeles and Christiania. There is a lot of info about the film here on the website.

KICK FOR AFRICA

Like a large part of the boys in the world, I am very fond of football. From a socio-economic perspective, I noticed something special about Malawian village football teams that didn't exist elsewhere. They were honest, accountable, ready to work, had complementary activities to support their work, and were good at long-term planning.

That is why I am relying on the footballers in Malawi to develop all aspects of the CCSR of CIPR. Together with a former striker of the national team, RUSSO MWAFULIRWA, we are in the process of creating a ZISAKUDUTSE LIGA. This is where CIPR and CCSR come into play again, where contracts count the most. We are formulating contracts that guarantee that a percentage of a footballer's future earnings will always benefit a community village project.

WALK THE TALK

The driving force to mobilise and activate Africans and the rest of the world behind all these innovations and platforms will be WALK THE TALK- an 18,000 kilometre walk from Cape Town to Cairo, punctuated by town hall meetings, football matches and concerts. Through all the above and many other similar projects, activities and products, we are reversing the dynamics of poverty and establishing a prosperous, stable, peaceful and united Africa. The walk is a very symbolic response to the colonist Cecil Rhodes, who wanted to build a railway from Cape to Cairo for his own and British interests.

With a walk, I try to establish that Africa's development is not so much dependent on technology and money as on good plans, unity, body and willpower. Between 2013 and 2015 I was in South Africa to train and test some of my ideas. It was a wonderful time that added up to a total of 1000km and a lot of learning amongst all the South African races. I had many prejudices dispelled while others were confirmed. Everywhere my project was received very positively and I am looking forward to starting again under much better organised conditions. Here is a list of the towns I went through.

WHAT CAN THE DANISH GOVERNMENT DO WHAT CAN THE DANISH GOVERNMENT DO?

The Danish government can give me a job at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a special focus on implementing sustainable solutions in Africa. The work has to be done in Africa and the walk has to be started all over again with a mobile office bus. 25 Kilometres of walking to be supplemented by 6 hours of office work every day except rest days. The work will consist of revisiting all relevant DANIDA projects to learn from mistakes and replicate successes.

THE WORLD FROM OUEN

If the government acknowledges this speech and accepts its recommendations as plausible, it will strengthen the enthusiasm of many African young people and increase the chances that they will choose a life on our continent rather than risk everything, and their lives, in the hope of a better future in Europe. Out is good but home is best.

Apropos det da med "Hjem....Kom godt hjem"....so vil jeg lige til allersidst ajouter, for en bon ordens skyld at "hjem" för mig, i Danmark, er en lille landsby som hedder Oue, mellem Hadsund og Hobro. I plan to move back to Oue....to form a proper overview and continuity. Our dear Jodle Birge comes from Oue. Jodle released a CD called "The World Seen From Ouen". I feel this project fits that title. I am looking forward to coming home safely to the world seen from Ouen.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR DANMARK?

Denmark has done so much for me. What can I do in return? Every right should be accompanied by a good dose of responsibility. Coming from a colonised continent that has since suffered the consequences of the self-entitlement of foreigners and local leaders, I can only say that two wrongs don't make a right. Correcting all exploitation and violation of human rights must be done within the framework of personal responsibility and commitment to a better world. The past is no excuse for doing wrong today. The past is a reason to do the right thing in the future.

There is much I can do for Denmark. First of all, I can remind Danes of Denmark's contribution to socio-economic progress. I can make them aware that the philosophical legacy left by Grundtvig, Kirkegaard, and HC Andersen, together with the brilliant discoveries made by Ole Rømer, HC Ørsted, and Niels Bor, and the brilliant policies of Viggo Starcke are more than enough to build a just world. If businesses in Denmark honestly paid for the welfare society through tax rates based on access to land and profits from the use of land, and if this tax replaced the income tax by 80-100%, and if VAT was either abolished or set at municipal rates based , the planet would be well on its way to economic recovery. Economic recovery would lead to environmental recovery. And that would be CCSR!

A direct consequence, and a very welcome one, would be a reduction in public sector administration and an improvement in service quality. This is again an African lesson with more than enough examples to illustrate the point.

It is good that the current government will be a coalition. The world needs such governments now more than ever. This is where real political skill comes to the fore. The reality is that about 60% of Denmark's population is now on transfer income. If we were to be brutally honest, the bureaucratic nature of public administration would make this statistic a few percent higher. Paid for by the taxpayer, this is a clear injustice and the dream of a welfare society is becoming a nightmare.Unfortunately, from whatever underlying reasons, the most appropriate way to reduce this imbalance seems to be to reduce the wages of key workers such as nurses. This need not be the case.

Through CCSR, socio-economic strategies can be developed that benefit all. For my part, I will focus on creating valuable jobs for the many who, in order to receive social benefits, provide cheap labour in positions that lead nowhere in life. This needs to change immediately and in this particular area I believe the choices I have made in life can be of benefit to me. There is an infinite amount we can accomplish in Denmark with CCSR and my final quote there ... which is also important, especially in the shadow of the war in Ukraine, Brexit and the political divide in the US, is, ... "There are no enemies, there are only potential partners in the CCSR".
