Doing Business in Africa - Mozambique - Part 1 - Mega Projects and Mining
Doing Business in Africa - Mozambique - Part 1 - Mega Projects and Mining
When Mozambique emerged from a 17 year civil war in 1992, its economy was in tatters, infrastructure had been destroyed and there was no industry to speak of. A peace deal between Frelimo and Renamo, put an end to the conflict. At the same time there were some important developments going on next door. The release of Nelson Mandela from 27 years of imprisonment and the ensuing democracy provided the impetus for further regional stability. And it set the stage for sound macroeconomic reform and rapid growth Mozambique would experience over the next decade.

Doing Business In Africa - Tanzania - Infrastructure & China
Tanzania is Africas third largest gold producer, after South Africa and Ghana. And during these difficult economic times should be a bit of a good news story but mining the yellow metal is proving a challenge. The biggest challenge being the lack of adequate infrastructure.

Slow in S Africa economy upsets small business
Slow in S Africa economy upsets small business
South Africa is an emerging economy that has thus far managed to weather the financial crisis gripping most of the developed world. But high unemployment and rising commodity prices are a growing problem for the country's people. While big business is well established in South Africa, times are tough for small stores and independent entrepreneurs. The International Monetary Fund also recently predicted just 2.7 per cent growth in South Africa's economy this year, while three ratings agencies downgraded its economic outlook from stable to negative. Al Jazeera's Tania Page reports from Cape Town.

Volunteering a year in Lwitikila, Mpika, ZAMBIA - Africa (fun part of it)
Volunteering a year in Lwitikila, Mpika, ZAMBIA - Africa (fun part of it)
One year (2009-2010) as a Fidesco volunteer in Lwitikila Girls secondary school, Mpika, Zambia. Leaving Soissons and the mountains of Grenoble, France for the Bemba ground in Africa. The aim of this mission was to teach French, computer science, and time management, to develop and organise some businesses to raise money for the school (tuckshop, tourism with the Lwitikila falls, picture business..), to improve the computer laboratory, to do the yearbook of the whole school, to help the lwizz mag club, to organise activities of the solidarity club, to twin the school, to coach badminton... All of these projects were the answers to the need of the school, and were always carried out together with the people there. I also had to gather new informations in order to develop and to update the diocese website (www.diompika.org Most of the projects are still going on and even improving. WARNING: This video is not representative of my volunteering as it ONLY shows the fun part of it. It does not show the BIGGEST part that is my everyday life also filled with sad moments and hard times, nor working times which I believe are not photogenic. Likewise, reflections, discussions, cultural shock and spiritual times are not represented here as they are inner feelings and would require much more than just a video in order to be fully understood. It is not at all a summary of this year, just some pictures of moments spent in some places at some points. The whole Africa continent is not like <b>...</b>

Sandile Zungu - Spokesperson, Black Business Council - Part 1
(www.abndigital.com) Although South Africa achieved democratic nationhood as early as 1994, its business community has sought and failed several times to find common ground on issues dictated by the country's political past, divergent interests and accusations of racial discrimination and failure to give blacks voice. Recently, black business representatives broke away from Business Unity South Africa, and revived the Black Business Council. We now talk to business leader and spokesperson of the Black Business Council, Sandile Zungu.

Segun Gele- Master of Nigeria's Gravity-Defying Headgear
Segun Gele- Master of Nigeria's Gravity-Defying Headgear
Editor's note: CNN Marketplace Africa offers viewers a unique window into African business on and off the continent. This week the show profiles Nigerian businessman Segun Olaleye, commonly known as Segun Gele. He has turned tying Nigerian headwraps into a promising business and an artform. Watch the show on Wednesdays 1845, Saturdays 0715, Sundays 1200 and 0615. (All times GMT) Houston, Texas (CNN) -- Segun Gele, or to use his full name Hakeem Oluwasegun Olaleye, is a man making a name for himself in a woman's world. The Houston-based businessman has made an artform out of tying a gele -- the gravity-defying headwraps worn by Nigerian women. To meet him is to understand how he became a celebrity in a field only a few years in the making. He's not only a vivacious self-promoter; he's also clearly thrilled to find himself making money doing something that comes so naturally to him. Watching Segun Gele whip the material into graceful folds and arcs in less than five minutes, you know he is the master. Geles come in different fabrics such as damask, brocade and "aso-oke" (hand-woven fabrics popular for Yoruba special occasions in Nigeria). The most popular fabric among Nigerian women is a metallic fabric made from jacquard. They have been worn by Nigerian women for generations, but in recent years has become the ultimate fashion accessory for important parties and events in the US, something that Segun Gele partially credits himself for. He says when he moved to Houston <b>...</b>

Owning Your Own Business, Part 1 - Dr Ray Hagins
In this video Dr. Hagins explains and addresses the ups and downs of starting and operating you own business. He talks about everything from conceiving the idea, to forming a corporation, to obtaining and EIN (Employer Identification Number), to financial management, to the pitfalls of running your own business and so much more. This video will be a great tool for those who are contemplating starting a business and achieving financial independence. We must own the businesses that are in our communities so our dollar will turn over 8 12 times before it leaves the hands of African-Americans. In 2008, African-Americans spent $913 Billion but only 2% were spent with African-American owned businesses. This is economic suicide. No other ethnic group operates like this. By learning what it is that we do not know, we can begin to correct what has not be done. To purchase this DVD and others please visit www.AfricanHistoryNetwork.com.

features: Datwon Thomas, Pastor AR Bernard, Geoffrey Canada, Danny Simmons, Eric Nicks, Tony Steele, Prodigy, Kim Osorio, J. Jesses Smith, Lloyd Porter, Bill Hill, Devasha Lloyd and Brannon Wood Fin. The purpose of this documentary and the series of Bridging The Gap Between History & Hip-Hop is to spark conversation amongst youth and adults alike to look deeper into the stories about American history that are not often told. We want our youth who are influenced by the culture of hip-hop to learn from Americas past to help shape the future for themselves and their peers in Hip-Hop Culture. In Bridging The Gap Between History & Hip-Hop: Black Wall Street, Greenwood Tulsa, Oklahoma 1921 we introduce the story told by a group of successful African Americans, of a 36-square block section of North Tulsa, Oklahoma where over 600 thriving African American businesses prospered. Numerous educated African American doctors, lawyers, teachers, business owners, oil men and entrepreneurs actually controlled their own destinies in a society that prevented them from venturing into other parts of the city. Strict Jim Crow laws were set-up and made it illegal for African Americans to go into other parts of the city, except to work for a White family or business. Curfew laws were set up and were strictly enforced. At one point, something fascinating began to happen - the black dollar was circulating throughout the African American community numerous times.
