The Citizen Online: Rare ‘fancy vivid pink’ diamond from Mwadui Tanzania sells for Sh133.9 billion in Hong Kong
When I hear a few brave African leaders boast about Africa's wealth, I always wonder what they know that the average citizen does not!
I then realized that whenever news of precious minerals like the one above does not make headlines, only a few favored people benefit from such discoveries.
This is what would turn the tide for African states with so much wealth, but it is clear that mechanisms are in place to prevent this from happening besides the greed of some key individuals at high posts in governments!
Please understand that I am not writing this post to start a debate because it is a topic that has already been exhausted! This is merely an observation and revelation of Africa's wealth!
