There are many people in South Africa who are rich and who can share those riches with those not so fortunate who have not been able to conquer poverty.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The richest persons in Africa are heads of state, governors and ministers. So every 'educated' African who wants to be rich - and there is nothing wrong with wanting to be rich - heads straight into government or politics.
Africa is rich, and why are we poor then if our continent is rich. It is not right.
The South African government, unlike a lot of African governments, isn't poor.
Corruption is Africa's greatest problem. Not poverty. Not lack of riches. Not racism.
Sub-Saharan Africa is also home to 400 million of the world's poorest people.
In India there are more poor people in three states... than there are in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa.
I am one of the affluent rich living the good life. But I like to think that I am doing my bit to resolve the problems of Africa and am certainly committed to Africa in the long run.
We must then build a proper relationship between the richest and the poorest countries based on our desire that they are able to fend for themselves with the investment that is necessary in their agriculture, so that Africa is not a net importer of food, but an exporter of food.
There are rich people everywhere, and yet they don't contribute to the growth of their countries.
Africa is poor because its investors and its creditors are unspeakably rich.
