African Disaster
Check out some common sense written by a fellow African: http://allafrica.com/stories/200508100564.html .
At last Africans are getting a grip on their economic situation, and starting to realise nobody gets anything for nothing, especially from western powers. Of course, getting to grips with greed and corruption are the key, which has eluded every African country since the beginning. Unfortunately you can't have multi-people structures, such as companies and governments, when you can't trust any people in them. We see Mbeki taking a stand against corruption by firing Jacob Zuma, deputy president. Then he chooses another, and within months it emerges that she may also have been involved in shady dealings (Petrogate saga, see Mail & Guardian SA online). The question is, do South Africa have a "clean" plitician (apart from Mbeki)? The next question is: Is there a clean politician in Africa at all?
