1 | Africa: Vote for the Most Influential African Thinker Alive | Afrika: Mifidiàna Izay Afrikana Mpisaintsaina Tena Henoin-teny Indrindra Mbola Miaina |
2 | Who is the most influential African thinker alive? | Iza no Afrikana mpisaintsaina tena henoin-teny indrindra mbola velona amin'izao? |
3 | Africa is a Country blog wants readers to vote for one influential African thinker from a list of 12 candidates. | Ny bilaogy Africa is a Country , na i Afrika dia firenena iray, dia mangataka ireo mpamaky mba hifidy ny Afrikana mpisaintsaina tena henoin-teny indrindra ao anaty lisitra ahitàna mpifaninana 12. |
4 | Sean Jacobs writes about the origin of the idea: | Manoratra mikasika ny nipoirain'ny hevitra i Sean Jacobs : |
5 | At the end of 2011 we contemplated asking you, dear reader, who you think was the most influential African thinker alive. | Tany amin'ny faran'ny taona 2011 tany dia nieritreritra izahay ny hangataka anareo, mpamaky hajaina, hoe iza no heverinareo fa Afrikana mpisaintsaina tena henoin-teny indrindra mbola velona ankehitriny. |
6 | We abandoned the idea for a while because of our thing against lists (except our end of year lists, of course). | Nilaozanay aloha ilay hevitra nandritra izay fotoana izay noho ny zavatra nataonay nifanohitra tamin'ilay lisitra (mazava hoa azy, avahana amin'io ny lisitra nataonay ny faran'ny taona). |
7 | I got the initial idea from the British blog, Left Foot Forward, which had run a contest to determine “the most influential leftwing thinker of the year 2010/11.” | Avy aminà bilaogy Anglisy Left Foot Forward no nitsirian'ny hevitra voalohany tato amiko, bilaogy izay nampanao fifininanana hamaritana “mpisaintsaina tena henoin-teny indrindra avy amin'ny elatra havia ho an'ny taona 2010/11.” |
8 | He explains how they came up with the list of candidates: | Manazava ny fomba nananganan-dry zareo ilay lisitry ny mpifaninana izy: |
9 | So here we are. | Ka dia eto isika izao. |
10 | To start things of, we came up with a list of candidates we canvassed internally. | Ho entina manomboka ny zavatra ary, dia ny lisitr'ireo mpifaninana noketrehanay avy ato anatiny. |
11 | Not everyone will be happy with the list, but we tried thinking of a range of intellectuals representing different parts of the continent, not just from one country. | Tsy ny rehetra no ho faly amin'io lisitra io, saingy niezaka izahay ny hihevitra izay andianà manam-pahaizana mahasolo tena ny faritra samihafa eto amin'ny kaontinanta, fa tsy hoe avy aminà firenena iray monja. |
12 | As South African writer Zakes Mda recently tweeted: “Zimbabwe compares only with Nigeria in the per capita production of African intellectuals (scholars, writers, scientists, economists etc.)” | Araka izay nobitsihan'ilay Afrikana Tatsimo Mpanoratra, Zakes Mda, tsy ela akory izay : “i Zimbabwe dia mifampitaha fotsiny ihany amin'i Nizeria amin'ny resaka vokatra isam-batan'olona eo amin'ireo manam-pahaizana Afrikana (manam-pahaizana manokana, mpanoratra, mpahay siansa, mpahay toekarena sns.)” |
13 | In fact, an earlier draft of the List was heavily South African and Egyptian. | Ny marina dia, betsaka Afrikana Tatsimo sy Ejiptiana ny lisitra vakiraoka natao tsy tany ampiandohana. |
14 | (That draft was not supposed to be up and one reader responded in kind. | (Io vakiraoka io dia tsy noheverina hahazo toerana ary mpamaky iray no namaly antso. |
15 | It's been corrected.) | Dia nahitsy io.) |
16 | We confess this list is subjective and that is why we have a second round where your suggestions will make up the choices. | Tsorinay fa ity lisitra ity dia nijerena olona ary izany no antony ametrahanay ny hisian'ny fihodinana faharoa ka any dia ny soso-kevitrareo no hanavaka ny safidy. |
17 | Others wanted to know why we're not including people on twitter: Our response is that we are not sure 140 characters make you “an intellectual.” | Ny sasany te-hahafantara ny antony tsy nampidiranay olona tao amin'ny twitter: ny valinteninay dia hoe tsy azonay antoka hoe endri-tsoratra 140 dia hahatonga anao ho “manampahaizana iray.” |
18 | A lot of stuff on twitter, including our own tweets, is half-baked and amounts to what Americans call “carnival barking” (in the service of traffic or attracting followers), so it is better to leave that alone. | Be ny zavatra ao amin'ny twitter, tafiditra amin'ireny ny bitsika avy aminay manokana, dia masaka antsasany ihany ary betsaka amin'izay antsoin-dry zareo Amerikana hoe “vazavazanà karnivaly” (miasa ho an'ny fivezivezena sy ny fisarihana mpanjohy), noho izany dia tsara kokoa ny mamela an'iny. |
19 | African thinkers. | Ireo Afrikana Mpisaintsaina. |

24 | That is while you vote in round one, we'll compile a list of ten names from your suggestions in the comment section, on our facebook page and on Twitter. | Izany hoe mifidy ianareo amin'ny dingana voalohany, dia havondronay ny lisitr'ireo folo niainga avy amin'ny sosokevitrareo tany anaty faritra natao ho an'ny fanamarihana, tany amin'ny pejinay facebook ary tany amin'ny Twitter. |
25 | Candidates who are already on the first list, won't be included on the second. | Izay mpifaninana efa tafiditra ao anatin'ilay lisitra voalohany dia tsy ho hita intsony ao anatin'ny lisitra faharoa. |
26 | A second vote/poll will proceed and we'll announce the result. | Hisy ny fifidianana faharoa ka hambaranay ny vokatra. |
27 | We will then combine the top five vote takers from the second list with the top five vote takers from the first list. | Avy eo dia havondronay ireo dimy tafavoaka voalohany avy ao anatin'ny lisitra faharoasy ny lisitra voalohany. |
28 | There will then be a third and final round of voting based on the new combined list that will take one week. | Eo dia hisy amin'izay ny fihodinana fahatelo sady farany mifototra amin'ny lisitra iray vaovao natambatra izay haharitra herinandro iray. |
29 | After that we will announce the overall winner. | Aorian'izay dia hambaranay ny nivoaka ho mpandresy tamin'izy rehetra ireo. |
