Sign up with GoogleHaving moved here over the last 12 months I have to say that this is very frustrating.
I came here because I love the country and with my skills I can help. The people I've met are fun, friendly and excitable and it's great to see the potential for so much when things have been stalled for so long. Now I've joined a company here and we're in the process of developing it beyond the typical business sector it currently deals with.
It's all going well and things are moving forward but every time we try something new there we come across the same two issues:
- The very few large businesses in the country block entry to market.
- The colour of your skin is as important as the furtherance of an industry and the development of your company.
The first point is overcome by market pressure and time... I'm just not sure how to get over the second point.
My thoughts are:
Education, education, education and a dissemination of skills, in the workplace, by ANYONE who can teach and do the job.... and a realistic 20 year plan to lower the huge poverty and education gap in the country.
This is how it works in every other country. So why try and push people in to a position they can not do or worse, make a very small number of people rich because of the colour of their skin?
We're on the verge of becoming a great nation... but we're about to lose it if we're not careful.
