Infant mistakes of African economies

Germany as the number one economy in Europe and number three in the world has overcome two world wars and one reunification process. The country has no natural resources and depends on its workforce as an export-depending economy. Free quality education on all levels is the key factor for economic growth and success. The right mentality as a successful nation is shaped from early on in each German's growth.

A satisfied society having overcome times of hunger and despair falls into a slow process of decline. Little by little and step by step citizens tend to look for economic and social security in employment and public service at reduced working hours yet receiving increased salaries instead of accepting a human is born as a single person to fight through life by himself seeing others as a given and needed surplus.

Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe or the ANC of South Africa put out the ideology after which the lands must be given back into the hands of the black man stolen by whites from him. Zimbabwe was once the bread basket of Africa but after thirty years of Mugabe, the country cannot even feed their people. Apartheid in South Africa sees the economy still being in the hands of whites and Indians. The high unemployment rate in SA triggered a high crime rate, and disappointment over the policy of the ANC leading the country to the brink of a revolution. The whites-dominated DA party in a coalition government with the ANC wants to protect their member's investment in the country by not touching the mismanagement and corruption of the ANC.

To give lands and other traditional assets back into the hands of the old owners without a transition period for which the help of good-minded white people is essential is a blueprint for failure as seen in Ghana by the decision of the great national hero and visionary Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and one of his successor Busia to ask all whites and later none Ghanaians to leave their positions and the country.

Nelson Mandela wanted to create a prosperous SA Rainbow Nation. His God-given mandate was to set his people free from white supremacy and his followers of the ANC leadership to end the transition period for the good of all South Africans. Thirty years down the line black South Africans cry for jobs, food, and hope. At this vital crossroad, a nation has to take action with the support of any outsiders regardless of color and ideology as long as the results will bring glory to the country.

A hungry nation that takes the right steps and sees hunger as the driving force behind a great upcoming economy with an armada of talented and innovative self-employed people walks through the open door to overtake countries like Germany, China, Russia, and the USA; their former heroes.
