Africa: How Africa's leaders keep the people poor

President Thabo Mbeki's younger brother, Moeletsi Mbeki, deputy president of South Africa's Institute of International Affairs, made world headlines when he said Africans were better off under colonialism. Moeletsi criticises his brother's relationship with Zimbabwe's cruel ruler Robert Mugabe, and is unimpressed with his black economic empowerment programme, which he says creates a destructive "culture of entitlement" among blacks. Moeletsi also pointed out that, in the past 20 years, China has pulled 400 million of its citizens out of poverty, while Nigeria has pushed nine million into poverty!
