Why Age Matters in Leadership

Age isn’t just a number. In many African countries the oldest president often brings decades of experience, deep connections, and a sense of stability that younger leaders can lack. At the same time, critics argue that older leaders may struggle with new technology or fresh ideas. The debate shows up in elections, policy talks, and even in the way the media covers a president’s health.

Take Tanzania’s recent historic win in CHAN 2024 – the team’s success sparked praise for veteran coaches who have been around the game for years. That same principle applies in politics: seasoned presidents can draw on long‑term relationships to push through tough reforms.
