Book Commentary about Africa

In the Company of Cheerful Ladies
(The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency)
Author - Alexander McCall Smith

Look at Africa - there has been so much to shake one’s head over - corruption, civil wars, and the rest - but there was also which was now much better. There had been ignorance, but now more and more people were learning to write, and were graduating from universities. These were good things that happened and one had to remember them.

Some of the difficulties in Africa was a consequence of increasing prosperity, which, curiously enough, just seemed to bring out greed and selflessness. Africa needs to be defend the old ways (closer friendships and connected communities) of doing things.
