Rwanda We Need To Talk

Image
Rwanda Health: Rwanda has improved their health system from 1000 deaths per 100, 000  births. in 2000/01 (that is 1 person in every 100 people) to only 210. That to me is amazing. The numbers drop to almost 21%, by 79%. this to me is remarkable. Poverty: The extreme poverty rate has fallen rapidly, declining from 24.1% in 2010/11 to 16.3% in 2013/14. That to me is remarkable change. With implication, it makes me believe the government in Rwanda want to change the lives of the ordinary man, and that to me is amazing. Demography: Rwanda has high percentage of youth ages. 41% of the population in 2012 were under the age of 14. That is a lot. With this the government needs to control the fertility rate. Well apparently to the UN the fertality rate from 6.1 to 4.2 in 2005. Rwanda is a country I can say destined to want change within the community. Keep in mind, I never been to Rwanda, so I do not the under surface of the country. The account they have with the worl...

Zambia We Need To Talk

ZAMBIA Composition of export With Zambia scoring 9,688 USD million 2015, let us unravel where all that score is in. - Cathode/refined copper cathodes 52.9% - Copper blisters 18.9% - Sulfuric acid, oleum in bulk 2.3% - Copper (excl. master alloys, unwrought) 1.4% - Articles of cobalt 1.2% -Semi-manufactured gold 1.2% - Precious and semi-precious stones 1.0% - Wire of refined copper 0.9% - Other 20.2% Zambia's main export and revenue in the world economy is Copper. Which in my opinion is at no problem. But imagine if there was no copper? Almost 4,000 million of the export would have vanished. Composition of import With Zambia buying 9.549 USD million in international trade, in 2015. Question we plea is where did the money go into. - Machinery and transport equipment 31.7% - Fuels 14.0% - chemicals 13.5% - Transport equipment 8.9% - Automotive products 7.8% - Agricultural products 5.3% - Iron and steel 2.9% - Office and telecom equipment 2.5% - Pharmaceut...

Probably New South Africa

J Z (SA) As Cyril Rhamaphosa makes a stand to South Africa, we may face a brighter future. It is as if he faces corruption dead in the eye. He hasn't done nothing major yet, but his presence as the president of the ANC has made waves for South Africa. Corruption might be dying!! Our Gupta's have left - Probably - Earlier in March, Africa Confidential reported that the  Gupta brothers were in the process of leaving South Africa for good , due to the surrounding political wave against them. At the time, the Gupta’s investment channel, Oakbay Investments,  categorically denied that the family was going anywhere , threatening legal action against all publications that reported as such. https://businesstech.co.za/news/business/119673/gupta-family-has-checked-out-of-south-africa-report/  Even the Gupta's feel Cyril's presence and have decided to leave, on the bases of Cyril coming. What other reason may it be? But no! The Gupta's don't even...
