African leaders have been challenged to embrace selfless leadership and stop using their positions to oppress the youth, the poor and other vulnerable groups.

The call was made on Thursday by Ndaba Mandela, founder and chairman of the Mandela Institute for Humanity and a grandson of South Africa’s first president, the late Nelson Mandela, during the two-day Mandela African Leadership Summit in Nairobi.
