Africa is a beautiful and diverse continent. The birthplace of
humanity and mother of civilisation, it is blessed with an
abundance of natural resources. However most African countries
continue to remain poor and underdeveloped! Have you ever wondered
why? With so many natural resources why can't the governments sell
them in the international market and redistribute the wealth back
into the area and among the people? What went wrong and why does it
continue to go wrong? This book tells a captivating adventure story
of Altair Maia a businessman from Brazil with a strong reputation
in African business affairs. He gets invited to Burkina Faso, West
Africa to rescue a failing business project started by Jonathan
Makeba. Jonathan Makeba was a politician and businessman; the
president of a small agricultural mining company in Burkina Faso.
Makeba makes a deal with a huge international company in the USA
for a mining project. They intend to mine phosphate for use in
agriculture and sell globally. This promises to radically improve
the economy and bring an entirely new level of social and economic
development to Burkina Faso and neighbouring Niger. It is hoped a
knock on effect will take place among other neighbouring countries
and spread through the whole of Africa creating the perfect
benchmark for international business. Jonathan gets invited to
America to sign the contract and finalise the deal. However before
he can do so he suddenly disappears, a new president is appointed
to the company, the contract is changed and the future of the
project is in disarray. Enter Altair Maia. He has a strong
reputation as a specialist economic adviser on African business and
he gets invited to Burkina Faso. His job; to investigate the
changes, find out what happened to Jonathan Makeba and save the
project from being abandoned. During his journey he sees first hand
the level of corruption and how evil forces stop Africa from
developing. This book is dedicated to the memory of Jonathan
Makeba, a brilliant and charismatic individual who tried to help
his country but was betrayed. His story will serve as an excellent
guide to the pitfalls set for those who want to help Africa, how to
avoid them and make contingency plans. May the memory of Jonathan
Makeba live in our hearts and may we keep fighting for Africa's
independence.
