About 10 years back my Mom owned a Deepsea & Dive Charter on Inhaca Island off the coast of Mozambique and I would spend a few weeks during the year helping out with the boats etc... Nevertheless during that time I had some very interesting conversations with the locals...
During the war between FRELIMO and RENAMO in Mozambique a few very interesting deals were struck. It turns out that RENAMO was being financed by America and South Africa and FRELIMO had backing from Russia and a few other countries. As time went by with apartheid crumbling and the financial backing of RENAMO dwindling it was decided to establish a coalition government.
What came to light after the coalition government was established is that for FRELIMO to get financial backing, Military weapons and Navy Strike Craft from Russia they had to sign over fishing concessions. So once FRELIMO attained the majority seats in government along came Russia to claim their prize. I have seen it with my own eyes how the Long Liners have raped (and still are) the Mozambiquan coastline, it's sick.
All this just makes a person wonder, considering the amount of financial backing the ANC required for the years that apartheid exisited, I wonder what deals they struck with their supporters? How many 'arrangements' were made behind closed doors, possibly sealing the fate of our precious ocean resources, to name but one.
It's a fact that the ANC owns 25% shares in HITACHI and interestingly enough HITACHI is the same company that is benefiting directly from the sale of technology to assist South Africa in power generation (ESKOM) and the like.
If this kind of thing is happening blantantly what is happening that we cannot see?
