Breaking the cycle of poverty in Africa: the case of infrastructure investment

Investments in infrastructure and democracy as a form of government in Africa is the only solution to the underdevelopment of Africa and impoverishment. The continent is lagging behind on all the continents of the world in terms of economic and social development. All countries that make up the African continent have similar economic problems namely unemployment, higher deficits, the poor state of economic and social infrastructure, including roads, ports, education, airports, telecommunications, healthcare and toilets.
Centuries of slavery and colonialism has deprived the continent of its resources to human and economic. When men can and women were forced to work in the plantations of the Americas (all around 30 – 40 million euros), where natural resources were plundered from European countries including Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Italy. After slavery was abolished, the looting of natural resources continues. The irony is that virtually all income from these resources were used to finance economic development and infrastructure in European countries, with little or not at all used to develop the various countries where these resources come from. A clear example is the case with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where King Leopold II of Belgium, the enslavement of Africans, forced to work without pay, has killed about 10 million and plundered the country’s resources and virtually nothing was used to invest in the country, except the guns that the Belgian army used to kill Africans. When the Democratic Republic of the Congo was transferred from the state Leopold II of Belgium, looting and killing continued until the Democratic Republic of Congo gained independence in 1960. Indeed, Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo Free State) was the main supplier of vital raw materials for rubber tire industry and all the money from the sale of chewing gum went to Belgium. King Leopold II was able to transform Belgium between the poorest countries of Europe as one of the richest courtesy enslavement and looting of Africans and their resources.
Belgium was not alone in what they have done for the continent. Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Italy have looted gold in Africa, diamonds, ivory, wood, cobalt, and all the minerals you can think of. The Africans who resisted illegal activities have been killed by the millions, as happened in South-West Africa (Namibia), where the Germans 1904-1907 committed the first genocide of the 20th century, killing the Herero and Nama people. While Europe has become richer in Africa have become poorer, and the trend continued until 1950, when African countries are beginning to earn their “independence’beginning with Libya in 1951, Sudan Morocco, Tunisia, 1956, and all in Ghana 1957.
With little or no investment in the continent, the post-colonial governments inherited several countries, with virtually no infrastructure: roads, railways, ports, telecommunications, education, health and sanitation and airports. The only areas that have seen some small investments in infrastructure during the colonial era have been those in which the raw materials have been heavily mined. The achievement of independence does not come on a silver Plate. Algeria, Zimbabwe, Angola, Kenya, Namibia and to some extent, South Africa gained independence from their colonial masters with weapons combat and in most cases, the few existing facilities have been destroyed by the conflict.
As if slavery, colonialism and plunder the resources of the continent’s more the continent has become a battleground during the Cold War as both superpowers and their allies fought for influence and control over the continent, especially for its resources . Therefore, many African governments who consider themselves pro-Russia and America have been reversed with the military. An example is the overthrow of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana February 24, 1966. Another example is the overthrow and assassination of Patrice Lumumba of the Congo January 17, 1961. Other leaders like Nelson Mandela were imprisoned for defending for both the independence or improve conditions for Africans. The CIA and Western intelligence agencies have been accused of engineering the overthrow and assassination of elected leaders of Africa. For example, Larry Devlin, the CIA station chief in Congo during the days of Patrice Lumumba told the Washington Post, in December 2008, saying he refused orders to assassinate Patrice Lumumba, but his refusal has not prevented the CIA and the Government of Belgium for the overthrow and assassination. The attack against Egypt of Gamal Nasser October 24, 1954 and the assassination of President Anwar Sadat in 1981 was attributed to the work of Great Britain M16 because of their refusal to hand over the administration of the Suez Canal, the British. The CIA, the KGB and its allies encouraged and financed the wars and political instability throughout the continent. Angola has become the battlefield of the CIA, KGB and Chinese, as everyone has tried to take control of the country, its people and resources. The civil war that devastated the country in 1975 ended in 1991 after 26 years of conflict. When the war ended infrastructure little is left after the War of Independence (1961-1974) had disappeared.
The product of these assassinations and coups in political instability and destruction will to life and property, including infrastructure that have plagued Africa to date. As the elected leaders of the continent have been assassinated, overthrown and subjected to all kinds of tactics of the Cold War, including bribery, blackmail and arm twisting of the continent degenerate and defects on all aspects of human activity. The new generation of leaders who replaced the heads of the post and the independence of the colonies, which were largely the puppet of the United States and European governments have become increasingly authoritarian and corrupt. Joseph Mobutu Seseseku has become the choice for Americans after contributing to assassinate Lumumba ruled Congo for 32 years and in those years, the country became poorer than Mobutu and his cronies got richer and the West including the United States and its allies have a free hand to plunder the mineral resources, ore largest cobalt very important for the development of missiles. Infrastructure work Little has been done by Mobutu. Consequently Congo today you can access by boat or canoe, mainly from the Congo River.
As tyrants and dictators has the support of Western governments and did what they wanted with their savings, perhaps their people are poor and the despair and hopelessness are the hallmarks of their lives. Like the little money that came into the coffers of the government have been taken by government officials and corrupt officials, there was hardly enough money to carry out infrastructure development and deepens poverty. Poverty, hopelessness and despair have visited the people and coupled with their inability to change their government democratically, were sown dissension among the people who are more fertile ground for the shooting, civil wars and civil conflicts. It was the trial in Ghana, Nigeria, Niger, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Liberia, Mauritania, Algeria, Gabon, Togo, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Central African Republic, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda and Sierra Leone all coups experienced in the years 1960, 1970, 1980 and 1990 too soon. These shots were followed by waves which hit the civil war Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Congo, Chad, Central African Republic, Somalia, Uganda, Sudan, Angola, Niger and Guinea. These wars outside its human cost has also contributed to the destruction of roads, ports, airports, railways, telecommunications, hospitals, schools and much more. In the absence of infrastructure in these countries were not able to make progress in terms of economic development. To reverse centuries of slavery and colonialism on the one hand, and decades of coups and civil wars, on the other hand, governments should focus their attention on building the infrastructure on the continent.
Because the state of infrastructure in the continent is nothing to write home about: roads, ports, telecommunications, health, education, market and airport or non-existence or are in a terrible state to describe. We have neglected the few that have existed to degradation, but we forgot that no continent or country, regardless of the size of natural resources, can not grow without investing in infrastructure. Therefore, the Democratic Republic of Congo has all the minerals you can think of for now I am one of the poorest on the continent. Therefore, Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, have developed and that is why the President-elect Obama speaks of strengthening the infrastructure of the United States, why are the engines that manage the economy. You may not export, so you do not have ports and airports to support. You can not attract tourists if you do not have the airport, hotels and other infrastructure that support it. You can not move goods from production centers to consumption centers, if you do not have roads, rail and ground infrastructure for the water to do so. Can not provide medical industry, architects, bankers, lawyers, planners, engineers, teachers, nurses, if you do not have the educational infrastructure to deliver it. And you can not run a competitive and dynamic economy, if you do not have the energy and telecommunications infrastructure in place. Africa has experienced severe disruptions in the energy sector for years and no government has seen no wisdom to solve. Consequently, the factories are folding and dismiss employees and we expect that the nature of help to fill our dams, before correcting the problem. These approaches could not do anything to help solve the problems of our continent and nations to grow? What we do with plenty of sun on the continent? We did not take sides, we have? We have the sun 365 days and we did not tap the solar energy is less expensive and more reliable than Hydro. It ‘another indication of the bodies we have and unnecessary lip made by various political parties and their leadership development. Look around and see if any of the products you see are made in Africa. I mean cell phones, computers, televisions, cars and all the flashy things that Africans are cracking. It is sad to note that almost all the raw materials for the construction of these mobile phones, cars, etc. are obtained from the countries of the continent.
To appreciate the importance of basic infrastructure for the development of the continent view of the transport infrastructure in a country, for example. The development of each country is highly dependent on a reliable transport infrastructure for the inland and connecting rural communities to market centers. The role of infrastructure for the economy of a nation can not be stressed enough in particular its impact on sustainable development, GDP growth, inflation, and poverty reduction. Effective and efficient delivery of transport infrastructure in a nation emphasizes all attempts to reduce poverty.
Transport infrastructure plays a key role in uniting all sectors of the economy including agriculture, health, education, commerce, industry and services. It is said that transportation is the thread of life ‘s economy. Without transport infrastructure of social and economic activities and overall development will stagnate. Transport infrastructure ensures that raw materials are brought to the factory, while the finished industrial products were also distributed to the market centers and the community in which they are most needed. Agricultural products such as food crops are provided by the urban roads, rails, airports and ports. Transport infrastructure also ensures that services are also products available that is necessary and timely.
The transport infrastructure of the new administration because of political entities such as districts, provinces and regions easily, because it gives access to social infrastructure such as schools, clinics, hospitals, markets, services and security administration offices. Transport infrastructure is related to the improvement of living standards for people living in rural and urban communities. Improves quality of life of people and has the advantage of ensuring a rapid and sustainable development and reducing poverty in the long term.
In areas where facilities of transport infrastructure are not available or are damaged in serious difficulties encountered in the production, distribution and marketing of goods and services. Such situations also have negative consequences for the sponsorship of goods and services produced and the use of these facilities such as clinics, hospitals, markets and schools. This has a negative impact on the status and quality of life of people affected by these situations, as well as an effect of lowering trampled on production and productivity levels in areas where the state of transport infrastructure is bad. And ‘well-known that the transport infrastructure and also all the correlations investment in infrastructure development and thus the living standards of people.
To move the continent away from its current difficulties, the work of public transport infrastructure must be made by all governments. Fast railways should be built to connect the various parts of the continent. This will make the transport of raw materials and bulky goods easier. Roads must be constructed so as to make transport less difficult. Nile is the longest river in the world must be conceived as an internal network of water transportation for the goods to be transported up and down rivers. Other major rivers like the Limpopo, Zambezi, Congo, Niger, everyone should be developed to allow goods and people move with ease. Every effort must be made to develop the technology to exploit the potential of solar energy in the Sahara desert, to make access to energy easily.
Major ports such as Durban, Cape Town, Lagos, Tema, Mombasa, Port Said, Tunis, Tripoli and Benghazi should be developed to be extended, if necessary and every effort must be made to eliminate all administrative and bureaucratic bottlenecks in order to paralyze the Trade and Development. Airport infrastructure should be developed to make it easier for people to move easily across the continent. The international airports in each country should be extended, if necessary, and should be equipped with modern technology to make it less burdensome for passengers to pass through. In addition to the bureaucracy, bottlenecks of Directors, delays hamper the rapid flow of people should be eliminated. So there should be a common immigration policy, which is simple to care for the people. The advantage of investments in the transport sector is enormous and should therefore be considered a priority.
If we can benefit both the transport infrastructure, so that our education sector on which the development of our continent and nations, the rest? Education infrastructure on the continent and our country have not been developed. True? Watch the world rankings of universities and see where the first university in the continent falls. Can we afford to develop the continent and our nations, with a low quality of graduates not to mention the millions of illiterate and semi-literates who wander around the continent and in our country? Of the approximately 9760 accredited university in the world, less than 10 universities were able to make the Top 500 and even those who did about 90% came from South Africa is the most developed country on the source (the continent topuniversities. Com). It ‘very clear that our education system does not include architects, engineers, planners, bankers, lawyers, doctors, teachers, social workers, nurses and scientists that we need in the 21st century. This is most important that any work of architecture and engineering of the continent is being undertaken by foreigners and foreign companies especially from the United States, Japan, China, India and Europe. And every continent and indeed any nation depends on foreign expertise for its survival is bound to fail in the long term.
Universities do not have well trained teachers. Lack modern amenities such as the state of the art library, laboratories, simulation studies, computers and books. Are private, why can not we build, we can not build, because the curriculum had not prepared our students to build them. Therefore, we need to import equipment and books from countries that have done their homework well and have invested heavily in training especially in science and technology. In many of our universities, polytechnics and secondary school teachers / teachers are always students in the same way the institutions of the 19th century has taught academic forgetting that we are in the 21st century. The same notes as a student last year of four years ago are still no dates for freshmen addition and subtraction. Teachers can not write books for students, because they lack the resources to conduct research that will form the basis of academic material.
While students in the advanced countries to get their hands on the books when they are released from those of the continent has to wait 4 years or more for the same books. Also school facilities, including libraries are in a condition too horrible to describe. Not one of our universities can boast more than two million volumes of books in their libraries. Even the few books that are so old that the information contained in them are useless. Few books have been published by the Africans. Because the majority of students, who must rely on notes that teachers give them. This is the state of our universities and what little I have said about our schools, polytechnics and secondary schools (high schools), the better. Our research institutions have achieved little because they are underfunded and researchers do not have the skills and equipment necessary to make any search for meaning. A typical case is Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG), which is located in New Tafo in the eastern region of Ghana. Despite decades of its existence, even before Ghana exports cocoa beans for peanuts. No value was added to cocoa. CRIG not been able to reach other ways of using the beans for the benefit of Ghanaians, despite mounting evidence that beans are many possible uses. To make a continent and the African governments should make education a priority. They must urgently and the need to invest in educational infrastructure.
In addition to these institutions of higher education must be structured to produce engineers, doctors, lawyers, bankers, sociologists and all the human resources needed to build the nations. Exchange programs should be established between the institutions and universities on the continent so that the students of the continent could meet, interact and share ideas. No effort must be used to enhance learning and the quality of learning on the continent. Efforts must be made to attract Africans in the Diaspora to share their expertise with their colleagues and contribute their knowledge for the development of the continent. Research institutions should be established throughout the continent and the funding available to them to find a way with the various natural resources of the continent could be used to benefit the people. The right of African human resource capacity could already start their journey to free his people from poverty
How about the state of housing infrastructure? A visit to a village or city to give an image of accommodation and poor quality of public service. People live in mud / thatched houses made of bamboo or raffia leaves as roofing sheets, without electricity, clean water and clinics. They live in a life without health insurance, health insurance and are condemned to poverty, desperation and despair. Those living in urban areas are unemployed, without a mortgage, bills and facing up with poor service. Face a constant barrage of water and interruption of daily energy. In each country, region, the situation of the district is no different. On the other hand, our MPs, ministers, vice presidents, presidents and political leaders, their friends and families who live in total luxury with palaces, SUV, bodyguards, wages fat, fat bonus materials, servants of the house and have all the resources of the continent at their disposal. Yet they claim to serve the people. How can it be? Governments should invite the private sector to take part in the delivery of housing. Land and other infrastructure services like water, electricity and waste management must be provided to make it less difficult for the private sector to participate.
Look at the condition of the agricultural sector. As many of our farmers have their own tractors and agricultural machinery for the production of more than a living wage? Virtually none. Almost all the equipment needed to make vital and important sector and agric production must be imported and how many of our farmers who have their own resources to buy even the basic mechanism to expand their operation? Although we are still in the 21st century, our agricultural practices indicate that we have not yet passed the stage of the 19th century. This is another reason why we continue to hunger, even if the land is abundant in Africa. During the first part of the violence in 2008 The financial crisis erupted in Egypt, Sierra Leone and many other countries of the continent. Why is this the case? The answer is that we have neglected the area for much too long. The farmers have no access to irrigation, which can make agriculture possible years throughout the year. They must rely on the nature of the rain before you can start planting. They have no access to credit could help them expand their operations. Yet, Ethiopia, for example, could afford millions of dollars to buy military equipment, while starvation threatens to destroy his people. You can not afford tractors and irrigation equipment, which could put food on the table and restore the dignity of his people. Lack of agricultural infrastructure has led to starvation for millions of people in the continent. There are silos for storage during the harvest. N. roads to production areas. We have under our land use for the lack of political commitment. We can develop our economy, if we fail to invest in infrastructure.
Moreover, trade between countries should be encouraged at all levels. Africans must learn that together they are based, and therefore the old policies of former colonial masters first and second neighbors should be discouraged and stopped immediately. This is another reason why it is important that these countries trade with each other, develop their markets, their share of resources so that the lives of their citizens will be improved. The continent should not be allowed to serve as a dumping ground for European goods produced. Industries for import substitution should be adopted widely across the continent and the trade should be encouraged at all levels. The days when the raw materials with low added value are exported peanuts should be given the boot. The Americans used to say to Japanese’if Japan wants a share of the U.S. market so their products must be produced in America. The same criteria should apply to any company or country that wants a piece Africa for raw materials.
All national interests must give way to a common concern for the welfare of the people of the continent and the fidelity and the influence of outside bodies should be treated as slander. Africa and its people should receive great attention in all areas of economic, social and political. The old philosophy of “sell” the continent of international cartels and the company must be given the boot. Africans must learn that Europeans, Americans and the Bretton Woods institutions have no interest in seeing them develop better, they would prefer that slavery and colonialism were back.
The issues above should be a priority, if Africa is to break the cycle of poverty that people have lived for decades or even centuries.
I hope that the 21st century will be different for the continent. We hope that the construction of infrastructure will be accorded higher priority by the various members of the AU.

There is an inherent problem deeply rooted in African politics and particularly the politics of South Africa and the public service, in which a selfish, greedy, arrogant and reckless is evident in most public companies every day and is well distributed in Press. This virus, plague, the pandemic is working on is a way for the political garbage. My domestic worker overheard two nurses at a clinic to discuss how much money could be made to clean the patients infected with HIV, if it were a cash payment and small that the patient would be beneficial for the life of ‘aid state, because after all the work. Children are children eligible for government subsidies, corruption is widespread in funds for school feeding, the pension system for the identification of the state or driving is not the paper it is written, I can buy a future with less hands R500.

I am not a professional writer, a politician, I am just a person, born and raised in South Africa, as my parents and they were ahead of me.

Kruger Park game would become the World Cup 2010
Author: Durban Hotelier
Kruger National Park was recently selected as one of six sites match official city in South Africa. The five other parts of the game were Town in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Garden Route and Rustenburg. Kruger Park as usual, promises to offer local and international visitors with a memorable stay in this magical moment in South Africa.
What exactly is a Match City?
FIFA were extremely concerned about the availability of accommodation and transport that goes to the World Cup in South Africa. Hence the idea of playing City was created. The game official city paper created by the service matches the event (those responsible for the proper functioning of the World Cup in South Africa), sets out the objectives of the initiative, as follows:
A package of games typical of the city include the following elements for the trip:
How’s it going to work in the Kruger Park?
Duo to its excellent reputation among foreign tourists, it was a big mistake to add the Kruger Park in South Africa for a list of cities already hit games across the country. 3 rest camp Kruger Park Southern Region Marula serve as bases for the influx of fans from around the football streaming from abroad. Skukuza, Pretoriuskop and Berg en Dal, areas where the game City International visitors will be located. These camps have been strategically selected because they are closer to the gate of the park, moving easily on match days. City fields match only about 30% of the total housing available Kruger.
Mr William Mabasa (HOD: Public Relations) has welcomed the idea of being an officer of Park City game, but said it is important that the Kruger Park has not turned its back on its local visitors who wish to take a Kruger Park Safari during that time, which explains why 70% of the park remained open to the local public. The schools are off during the entire period of the World Cup, we can expect for a hotel in Kruger Park is teeming with tourists and fans excited.
Besides the buzz that will saturate the air fresh Kruger Park during the World Cup, still hope to enjoy hikes in the Kruger Park and the usual game discs that are offered throughout the year. If you want to absorb some atmosphere and magic that this World Cup promises to provide, in order not to lose this opportunity and book your favorite Kruger Park Lodge in 2010!
