Former president John Dramani Mahama will be decorated with the African Political Leader of the Year Award in South Africa today, February 23, 2017.
The African Leadership Magazine is awarding him for his contribution towards deepening and enriching Ghana’s democracy and his towering status as one of Africa’s best. Mahama is also expected to deliver the keynote address at the African Leadership Magazine (ALM) Person of the Year 2016 Awards Programme in Johannesburg.
The former President will be speaking on the theme, “How can Africa win the progress race?”
The ALM Person of the Year Awards, according to the organizers, is in keeping with a tradition of presenting the positive sides of the African continent, which hardly finds space on the global stage. It will also celebrate exemplary leadership and individuals who have contributed to shaping the global perception of the African continent.
In the words of the Chairman of the International Advisory board of the ALM Awards, Ambassador Joe Beasley, “it is gratifying to know that Africa still has leaders like you bestriding the political space.”
He also noted that Mr. Mahama made significant contributions to Ghana’s economic growth and development; spearheaded and completed some ambitious projects; went into the elections and respected the wishes of the electorate – a feat uncommon amongst many leaders in the continent.
“Africa has found in you and leaders like you, the perfect Apostles of Good Governance and Democracy, who would help in spreading the gospel to the rest of the continent.”
Mr. Mahama will also be presented with the Georgia Congressional Commendation from the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus during the event.

The leader of corruption awarded in a coubtry that is killing other blacks from Ghana and nigeria. Mahama is the worst leader Ghana has ever had in her life. Every economic indicator under this man leadership is negative because he came to meet GDP of about 8% without oil and left the country less than 4% with oil. This man is a failure but SA can keep him if they like.
Mahama and African magazines, first ovation magazine, then the Africa watch and now Africa something something leadership, he cant stop bribing magazine owners. Shame1ess and ev.il.
IS THE AWARD FOR CORRUPTION ?
Neaa Yehowa ahyira no na woa hyira no. You have been the most insulted, the most heckled and the most denigrated Ghanaian president but you held your head high and never allowed yourself to be bullied to the point of losing your self confidence. Recently, you lost elections to Nana Akuffo Addo but that loss was actually not a loss, it was rather a win. It was to move you to another pedestal, where you can serve the international community. The South Africans saw it right. When it is Nana Addo's turn, let them award him too but today you are the foremost African Leader- Congratulations.
To God be the Glory. You deserve it and had made Ghana proud. Humble Ex President JDM
