Leaders from across the African continent, who gathered in Johannesburg, South Africa, for the African Leaders of Peace Summit last week said the continent needs more tolerant political leaders if peace is to prevail. The Peace Summit marked the 100th anniversary celebration of the births of former South African President Nelson Mandela and the human rights activist Albertina Sisulu. Addressing delegates during the summit, former president of Mozambique, Joaquim Chissano, emphasised that inequality in the sharing of resources and land is the biggest threat to stability in Africa.
