Africa for sale
Sierra Leone's President tells us why he's opening all doors to foreign investment. Why Coke's not lost its fizz for the Continent. And we ask, have personal computers become just too touchy-feely?
In Business Daily, we hear from Sierra Leone. Not long ago, Africa's poorest and most war-ravaged country, it's now selling itself as a beacon of business development, boasting one of the fastest growth-rates in Africa. Ed Butler speaks to the President, Ernest Bai Koroma. Also we hear from the President of Coca Cola, South Africa, on the challenges of delivering millions of fizzy drinks to Coke's fastest-growing continental market. And our regular letter-writer on all things technological, Jeremy Wagstaff, airs his concerns about the sheer physical and tactile allure of the modern hand-held device.
