CONFESSION FROM THE TOP: AFRICA IS BEING STRANGLED BY ITS OWN GOVERNMENTS
Isuzu’s CEO just dropped a bombshell so huge, it exposes the SABOTAGE of Africa’s economy. In a shocking address, Billy Tom revealed the continent’s dirty secret: It is often CHEAPER for his company to send a truck to the MIDDLE EAST and back to another African country than to ship it directly to a neighbor.
This isn’t just bad business. This is ECONOMIC MADNESS.
“Sometimes it’s easier to export a vehicle to the Middle East and take it to another African country,” Tom stated, his words a damning indictment of the system. While politicians preach unity, crushing tariffs and byzantine logistics are KILLING trade. The African Continental Free Trade Area promises change, but progress is a ghost. Who benefits from this chaos? Foreign competitors and a bloated bureaucratic machine that profits from every delay.
Meanwhile, Isuzu is fighting to survive. The company exported over 5,000 vehicles within Africa last year by playing a broken game. Their executives warn: “Logistics is what makes us sometimes competitive.” They can build a rugged truck, but they CAN’T CONTROL the cost of moving it across a border drawn on a colonial map.
Their success is a testament to African resilience in the face of self-inflicted wounds. While sales grow, every extra dollar and every wasted day is a tax on the continent’s future, stolen from the pockets of workers and entrepreneurs.
The blueprint for prosperity exists. The will to implement it does not.
