The average age of Africa's 10 oldest leaders is more than 78... but the average African is under 20 years old.

There is a growing perception that Africa is a young continent with old leaders. But there are exceptions, such as Botswana's new Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, Bogolo Joy Kenewendo.
