This Week on African Perspective

Does the Africa brand have ambassadors?

This Tuesday 11 September we host prominent South African businessman Mutumwa Mawere as we discuss whether the Africa brand lacks or does not lack its ambassadors. Mawere wrote an article for an online publication suggesting that the Africa brand lacks ambassadors.
We ask him why he thinks so. We also discuss the African political economy, which he argues is still dominated by multinational corporations from outside of Africa. In this regard, we want to know how, as a businessman and son of Africa, Africans can go about positioning themselves to benefit sustainably from their own resources.

Listen live on 105.5 FM in Toronto or online on http://www.chry.fm/ worldwide as we discuss this issue. To contribute, call our studio number on +1 416 736 5656 or write to africanperspective@chry.fm
