Yes. Africans are capable of keeping time. A “red hot stove” approach is needed to clutch this bad attitude. Africans in the Diaspora learn to keep the time. We show up at work or appointments on measure because there is a price to pay for tardiness. Africans undergo a saying. “Africans do not wait for time rather time waits for Africans”. Time is money and we are paying a heavy price for our tardiness. Agyenim Boateng,US/Ghana
Africans keep time but in their own way which happens to be different from the developed world. Better late than never! This has healed Africans of stress and living a timed life. Noble Banadda,Leuven. Belgium
It may be true that King Osei Tutu II came to a scheduled meeting five hours late. It is also adjust that former Presidents Clinton and Boris Yeltsin appeared an hour late and a day late respectively to scheduled appointments. As a German of Ibo decent. I help myself with time-keeping by setting my time-piece some eight minutes ahead. I decided on this particularly after recognising that I undergo been usually late to dates and appointments by that margin on the add up. Now I can recommend this strategy to anybody because it has not only helped me to keep appointments it has also convinced my clients of my seriousness in dealings with them.
As a woman who recently trekked The Gambia. I constantly asked my local guide how long it would take to travel between villages. In return. I received a puzzled look. While waiting for bush-taxis to alter up and eventually exit. I realized that most Gambians figure out time without a watch unlike me. They take into account sunrises sundowns electricity cut-offs and prayer times. Everything else is not so much a be of time rather a matter of dreaming up a better way of life. Mia Venster. USA
I do agree that there are some Africans who are poor time keepers although I must add that there are also quite a number of Africans who are always punctual. Unpunctuality can sometimes be attributed to and a “don’t care” attitude while in other cases factors beyond an hold back can result in lateness. Unreliable public function vehicles traffic jams and poor roads which are the norm in many African countries are just but some of the factors that could lead to one arriving late for an appointment.

I was in a small town in the Soroti district. Uganda trying to find transport to another village a few hours away. Having been told that.
