Ghana is the second-largest producer of gold on the continent and is now home to a large network of gold fraudsters. Investors have lost millions at their hands. Africa Investigates goes undercover to lift the lid on this illusory pot of gold.

  • Before Europeans stepped foot on "Ghanaian" soil, we were mining our own Gold. How come we can't do that again? The Portuguese named their first place of contact El Mina cuz we were mining Gold in the 1400s. How come we get only 9% of revenue coming from Gold? Is time to stop this bullshit of "western investors" and get some confidence in what we can do. Years of slavery and exploitation has taken our confidence away. Get young people into politics and get rid of the useless hyaenas in power

  • I dont feel sorry for these idiots... The Gold mines should be nactionalized and used to build the country up!

  • @JUDALATION fuck of you mentaly deranged monkey

  • @Szekler11 LOL, Typical P.C WESTERNERS Answer to every African Problem... Well sherlock, look at the African countries that are the most developed and best places to live in. Botswana, Ghana, Tanzenia, ALL have rejected the pc westerners form of Government and utilize their resources for the people of their countries. Meanwhile westerners think South Africa is the best country in Africa, Truthfully it is the worst crime ridden hellhole there, Only Zimbabwe and somalia is worse! 

  • @JUDALATION dont be an idiot. nationalize mines and the money ends up in the hands of corrupt politicians, who use the money to oppres the people.

  • I hope the scamming continues, and gold becomes less profitable to infest in, so the harmful mining practices will not be profitable. 

  • @ioetokakpan1

    Not an issue. Take advantage of greed! Africa doesn't need investors who profit 90 percent from and the local population gets 10 percent? No, the problem is greed.
