Why Africa's youth now trust China more than America
from BizNews Radio · host BizNews
Ivor Ichikowitz turns sixty this year, and by his own account he's never felt more energised. As founder of Paramount, the defence and aerospace group he built into a business operating in twenty countries, he's used to controversy. But in this conversation with Alec Hogg, he's not talking weapons. He's talking about what his foundation's African Youth Survey reveals about a generation that trusts China more than America, doesn't believe in the ballot box, and might just take to the streets instead. He also has a stark warning for South Africa: Denel, the state defence company he helped build his own career alongside, may only have months, not years, left to save.
