@ghanakid185 Thanks for the insight mate but the crippled and the blind would always need aid .Yes africa has a lot of mineral resources probably the fault is the black skin

@heilqueerstapo Exactly her point - stop asking for hands out and be accountable for your actions. She has done and is doing more than that of most sub saharan african leaders for the Africans. Big Up Kagame the Rwanda President. In his time in office has reduced AID to 40% of the national Budget and has open gateway for Investors to flood more than 500mil USdollars to his country given more jobs to the people and irradicating poverty in the country.

I agree with Ms. Moyo 100%! I have made a *very* frank video outlining the travesty of aid and the neverending cycle of Africa's economic and political problems. Take a look if you may so wish here: watch?v=EpUaChUNf3E

I love when the interviewer talks about chile as if she knows anything, she clearly has no clear about the coup to overthrow a popular socialist president in salvador allande by the american backs pinochet.

@heilqueerstapo the fact that there are masses of "uneducated african women", even after all the years of aid--i think that's moyo's point. even you point out the poverty of africa. if aid were good for africa, conditions should have improved.

@OnYourMarkItsumo No my friend i have seen her in the magazine called the Times as 100 of the most influential people .She is educated and she has money ,She talks of aid being bad because her life is good
If she was an uneducated african woman who has to scavenge i don't thing she would be saying that
-
@heilqueerstapo Did you watch the end of the video? She's on the board of an NGO to support Africans. And she's out everywhere spreading her message about encouraging jobs for Africans.

Chinweizu Ibekwe once wrote...
“The central objective in decolonising the African mind is to overthrow the authority which alien traditions exercise over the African. This demands the dismantling of white supremacist beliefs, and the structures which uphold them, in every area of African life. It must be stressed, however, that decolonisation does not mean ignorance of foreign traditions; it simply means denial of their authority and withdrawal of allegiance from them.”
About time. She's Brilliant!
