The twenty-first Great Interview is with Altair Maia and we were talking about his book “Tribute to Jonathan Makeba”.
Tribute to Jonathan Makeba
Currently, large global companies establish themselves in Africa, extract all the necessary raw materials, take them for processing outside the continent, generating jobs in various parts of the world, except in the country from where they extracted them.
