24 May 2021 | Lenias Hwenda: Let's Talk about Health in Africa - African people should be benefiting from the wealth and natural resources of their countries.
Lenias Hwenda in conversation with Honourable Minister Jay Naidoo, a former Minister for Reconstruction and Development, and the Minister of Post, Telecommunications and Broadcasting in the government of President Nelson Mandela. Many African countries have vast national wealth in the form of natural resources that belong to their citizens. Yet, African citizens have not benefited from the exploitation of these natural resources and Africa's claim to fame remains its singular unparalleled poverty which exists alongside vast national wealth that drives the global economy. Hon. Jay Naidoo argues that is is possible for the wealth of African countries to be used for the well-being of Africans, that the status quo is not working for Africans and needs to be urgently changed because we are running out of time - the future is now, not tomorrow.
