been cited as Kenya's stumbling blocks to development.
About half of the population had or knew somebody who
had given a bribe to get basic services, says a UN study
on crime and development in Africa. To read the full report,

London
- The vast majority of Britons believe that sending billions
of dollars in aid to Africa would be a waste of money

a poll showed Saturday. To read the full report, go to

4. Business: Investing in India
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
South
African investors and exporters are gathered in Johannesburg
to discuss export and investment opportunities in India.
The seminar has been organised by the Indian embassy and
the Gordon Institute of Business Science.
India
has the world's second largest population behind China.
Its economy grew by 8% last year, making it one of the
fastest growing economies in the world. Visit our NEWS

Moscow
- Russia's economic growth is slowing, inflation risks
rising, and controversy over the government break-up of
the Yukos oil giant is partly to blame, the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) said Thursday. To read the full report,

6. Business: South Africans Investing Offshore
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Financial
planners are usually a staid bunch. Right now, though,
they're pulling out their neatly cropped hair in frustration.
Why, they lament, do investors wait until the rand tanks
and then rush to invest offshore? It's a predictable pattern.
As the rand strengthens, raising local investor sentiment
about the motherland, offshore investment products all
but wither away. And as the rand weakens, making it more
expensive to invest offshore, that's just what South Africans
do. To read the full report, go to our NEWS
DESK link.

of investing
offshore.

8. Global Trade: Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) Problems
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
It
can't be called genocide, because it's not a systematic
killing of a national or ethnic group. But Zimbabwean
strongman Robert Mugabe's destruction of hundreds of thousands
of people's homes, market stalls, and now, subsistence
gardens is systematic all right. To read the full report,

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = = = = =
Amnesty
legislation introduced by Republican Senator John McCain
of Arizona and Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts
purports to "reform" immigration laws and equitably
resolve the problem of a massive and continual illegal
influx of aliens across U.S. borders.
But the reality is the McCain-Kennedy "reform"
would reward lawbreakers for their illegal activity, while
holding out a blatantly false promise of stemming future
illegal immigration. To read this informative article,

South
Africa boasts some of the best hotels in the world. But
they are also among the most expensive and alarm bells
are starting to ring for the tourism industry.
Even
overseas tourists are finding the rates unacceptably high
while locals who are not on company expense accounts tend
to stay at bed and breakfast establishments. To read the
