Apart from Ghana and Algeria, it may have been the first time for many across the African continent to ‘meet’ the two moderators of the African Union (AU) Mjadala Afrika leadership debate on Friday.

The way in which they executed the job with finesse and flair captured the attention of many Africans, who watched the two-hour debate broadcast across 55 AU member states via satellite links.

The two moderators were Canadian-based Ghanian Anita Erskine, an English speaker and Executive Director of Erskine Global Communications, and Algerian journalist Fatima Charef, a French speaker.
