Explore the ongoing impact of neo-colonialism in Africa as Peter Grear and Gerry McCants discuss the pervasive influence of multinational corporations on the continent. In this video, we dive deep into how these corporations continue to exploit Africa's resources in sectors like mining and agriculture, often at the expense of local communities. While foreign investments are seen as essential for economic growth, the reality shows a troubling imbalance where Africa’s resources are drained, leaving minimal benefits for locals.

Peter and Gerry highlight the need for accountability and urge Africans and the diaspora to support businesses that prioritize education, fair wages, environmental sustainability, and ethical practices. They advocate for awareness as a powerful tool to resist neo-colonial structures and protect Africa's economic future. The discussion emphasizes that, while not all corporations operate unethically, we must champion those that genuinely contribute to Africa's growth and well-being.
