"For decades, Africa has depended on a massive informal economy driven by hustlers, street vendors, small traders, and survival-driven entrepreneurship. Yet this same informal sector has no real protection, no financial access, no legal support, and no path to growth. So what is your real, long-term plan to transform this huge informal economy into a formal, structured, tax-contributing system-without destroying the livelihoods of the people who keep it alive? How do you intend to move millions of informal workers into a fair, protected economic system where they can access credit, insurance, legal rights, and larger markets—while still preserving the resilience, creativity, and innovation that define African hustle? And how will you ensure that this transformation becomes a genuine, generational economic shift rather than another political promise that fades when your administration ends?
