The African Unsung Hero: Tribute to Jonathan Makeba (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

"A country whose athletes don’t even have a pair of running shoes to run in the marathon can run barefoot if necessary, but participate! What we want is to participate in the race”. This is the real story of a man who believed that Africa has everything to make it right. Jonathan Makeba's ideas about what is right and best for Africa will involve you into a reality that needs leaders. The question that this book wonderfully answer is: How is possible that a continent so rich in natural and human resources is so poor and full of calamity? I know you have read that it is because the vast majority of investment projects in Africa, if and when they came to fruition, were only designed to extract the maximum possible amount of the country’s natural resources, in order to process them elsewhere, generating huge profits for other countries. But there is more... and you will find it in this beautiful and, may be, sad story.
