Africa is a continent that provides so much for the existence of the rest of the world. We go around the world and cultivate so many things.

Africa is on the rise.

Africa is not for the weak-hearted: infrastructure issues are there. The middle class is absent in most of the countries. We have to cater to the low end of the market to grow.

I think that Africa has made quite rapid progress and a lot of the conflicts that we saw on the continent have abated.

I don't think Africa gets as much credit as it should have on the world stage. People tend to think of us as coming from The Dark Continent, where nothing good goes on. That's not true. A huge amount of, as I say, entrepreneurship goes on.

Africa is rich, and why are we poor then if our continent is rich. It is not right.

Africa will thrive.

I've always thought that underpopulated countries in Africa are vastly underpolluted.

Africa is going through its own historical process of state formation just as Europe and America did. It is just happening much later than other continents because of the interruption of Africa's own historical development by the colonization of Africa by Europe.
