OT Lazarus > sounds like an imperialist scheme by SA to economically dominate Africa. Yes?

What you say is more perceptive than you realize. In fact, Mbeki's NEPAD (New Economic Policy for Africa's Development) is virtually identical in scope to what W has mentioned frequently, and in fact even in a speech today.

>>Skeptics say the international community should be cautious about rushing in to back yet another new initiative to help Africa and that NEPAD, for all its high-sounding ideals, may become just another exercise in neocolonialist aid. <<

I don't know what's happened at the NEPAD website, it seems to have been under attack.

Again, more perceptive than you realize. This is the Dow 30 Titans Index of South African stocks (in USD)

And this is the Dow 30 Index divided by the S&P 500

You can see at a glance that the SAn index has massively outperformed the S&P in the past 2-3 years. Whether that will continue is, of course, anyone's guess.
