Mark Kaigwa, Communications Lead at Gotissuez gave a talk on Customer Service in Africa and how Gotissuez is bridging the gap between consumers and companies. Using the question "How do you get an African to believe in change" Mark made the case that African's have been let down by the integrity of the ballot box and the electoral process, so how can they expect change from a suggestion box? He then made the case for the Gotissuez approach that creates a community of problem reporters, thinkers and problem solvers and evolves a culture of reporting and resolving issues. The hope then, is that by also involving companies in the process, we will have an outcome where we can change circumstances for both. How do you get an African to believe in change? You get to them to participate in change.

I speak for you.Where did your voice go? Where did your vote go?No change. Accountability? Nope.

Expecting no one to listen, and certainly no one to do anything about it.This mistrust and uncertainty behind the ballot box has led to a total disregard for the suggestion box
