Senate Frowns at Xenophobic Attacks on Danpullo's Investments in South Africa

Published from Blogger Prime Android App
H.E. Le Jeune Mbella Mbella, Minister of External Relations has told Members of Cameroon Senate that the government of Cameroon has been working very closed with the government of South Africa to ensure that the assets of Baba Ahmadou Danpullo is not tempered with under unclear circumstances. Minister Le Jeune Mbella Mbella made the statement in responds to Senator Fon Chafah Isaac reaction to the report of the Foreign Affairs Committee. His Royal Highness Senator Fon Chafah XI of Bangolan in his quest for justice had asked the minister of external relations the diplomatic channels that government of Cameroon is using to cause the South African government to come to reason over the unjust decision against the richest man in Francophone Africa (according to FORBES Magazine), El Hadj Ahmadou Baba Danpullo.In his responds, Minister Le Jeune Mbela assured the senate that the Head of State, H. E. Paul Biya when briefed on the issue wrote to the South African President, though he did not give details about the content of the letter. Meanwhile, Senator Fon Chaffah XI addressing members of government on the seizure of Danpullo’s assets in South Africa said Baba Danpullo has been denied justice in South Africa with an investment worth about 500 billion FCFA. He said previous presidents sustained a good relationship with him. He said his deal with First National Bank is not unusual with any businessman dealing with a bank. “The way he has been treated because of the repayment of this loan he took leaves us with a lot of doubts and I begin to ask questions, if Baba Ahmadou Danpullo was a South African, the justice department of South Africa would have handled his case the way they han - dled it.” Said Fon Chaffah to Senate Members and to the Minister of External Relations. He went further that it is not jus- tice to owe 21 billion FCFA and the bank went on a rampage to seize all his belongs in SouthAfrica, which is no longer justice to seize property worth about 500 billion FCFA. “The principle of international relations is base on reciprocity… if the government of Cameroon has been very nice to South Africans in Cameroon… we have been very hospitable and welcoming, we expect similar treatment to our citizens in South Africa”.

 Senator Fon Chafah said. “What has happened is broad day armed robbery which cannot be accepted in the world of today”, he concluded by requesting to get further assurances that government will do more not only to protect Danpullo but to assure other Cameroonian investors in South Africa that their investments are protected. Popular opinion in Cameroon have been very disappointed with the xenophobic attack of on Baba Danpullo’s investments in South Africa.

South Africa: Baba Danpullo Under Severe Xenophobic Attacks

Published from Blogger Prime Android App
Continentally acclaimed and respected Cameroonian-born businessman, El Hadj Baba Ahmadou Danpullo, is under severe xenophobic attacks in South Africa. Mr Danpullo has been in South Africa for over 35 years, creating employment from many of his investments. 
At the core of these incessant and irresponsible attacks is the First National Bank (FNB). The FNB greedily and violently decided in early 2020 to seize and liquidate all of Baba Danpullos properties in South Africa, valued at approximately R5 billion ($277 million). The properties are managed by Bestinver Company South Africa Ltd, Joburg Skyscraper Pty Ltd, and Bestinver Prop 01 Proprietary Ltd, which are all subsidiaries of Bestinver, the group he founded. Combined, the loans that the FNB bank has granted to these various companies amounted to, in October 2017, R615m.
Repayment, at around R10m per month, was to be spread over ten years.
According to Baba Danpullo and his lawyers, the FNB demanded the signing of additional guarantee documents and the immediate early repayment of the remainder, with seven years of repayments remaining and R550m due in April 2020.
According to the latter, this demand is a violent, anti-professional, racist, xenophobic, and inhumane crusade aimed at evicting the Cameroonian from his properties. In addition, the bank has greedily collected up to R540 million in the form of rentals since the violent seizure of these properties. The move is racist and xenophobic and borders on exclusionism aimed at retarding African progress by targeting black African businesspeople.
The jealousy to its highest level was the occasion for them to sack all his investments.
Over the years, Baba Danpullo has built up a vast property portfolio in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth).
These properties generate approximately R20m a month, creating employment across the real estate sector and supporting jobs along the value chain. Mr Danpullo, the wealthiest man in Francophone Africa, is under scathing attacks following his success in the countrys markets.
The renowned business mogul, who has been investing in South Africa for the past 35 years and making significant investments, has never had any problems with his business. It is shocking that Baba Danpullos unarguable successes now attract banana peelings off his investment paths in South Africa. These coordinated attacks emanate from his excellent economic performance in the market that led him to acquire the Standard Bank commercial building with the help of the National First Bank at the cost of 21 billion FCFA francs.
Despite the challenging business environment due to global economic shocks caused by the health pandemic, Baba Danpullo, has always honoured his commitments to the said bank. The Guardian Post learnt that the loan was meant to be repayable over ten years. Baba Danpullo is uninterruptedly repaying without any problem despite the COVID-19 constraints. According to The Guardian Post, no alarm was perceptible in their relationship, and the bank officials demanded the immediate and full repayment of the debt, which was to be repaid after ten years.
FNB officials have seized the opportunity to confiscate all of Baba Danpullos assets. We learnt that even assets not involved in the credit transaction, including buildings, considerable sums in his bank accounts and all his rents, were seized. These acts of plunder against the properties of Baba Danpullo are acts of pure open xenophobia on a well-respected business magnet, raising many questions. For example, observers are now asking if Baba Danpullo, from the height of his fame in Africa and the world, can be treated with such a xenophobic attitude.
What about the common Cameroonians and other Africans living in South Africa? Xenophobic acts in South Africa are already gaining momentum with the attack on the businesses of Nigerians and other Africans investing and working in South Africa. 
In what has been interpreted as a targeted and well-calculated move to cripple the businesses of Baba Danpullo in South Africa, the bank reportedly refused to allow him to raise funds in Cameroon to meet their sudden loan reimbursement demands. The banks attitude is unusual. 
The most curious thing the The Observer gathered from The Guardian Post is that the sale of only one of the buildings put into liquidation would have allowed the totality of the debt to be settled.
However, the South African authorities launched a sell-off operation whose final and unconfessed aim is to ensure all Baba Danpullos assets in South Africa disappear.

This xenophobic move by South Africans against a fellow black African demonstrates that the county is not ready for investment from its own black fellow Africans.
The move suggests that black Africans wanting to invest in South Africa should reconsider. It is unfortunate, given that South Africa has been trying to attract investment against a weakening rand.
In this article, we argue that behind this unprofessional move by the FNB bank, white monopoly capital controls the South African economy several years after the end of apartheid. This white monopoly capital owns R15 trillion of the Johannesburg Stock exchange, with only 3% owned by black people. We argue that, even though apartheid ended on paper, a lot still has to be done to disentangle South Africa from the yokes and chains of apartheid.
As a result of this decision by the FNB, millions of Rands are at stake against a struggling economy. The South African economy is mainly oligopolistic, with a super-wealthy white elite controlling large sectors of the economy through colluding monopolies.
The recent actions against Baba Danpullo are reminiscent of white oligopolistic tendencies that seek to establish a state of limited competition in which a small white-owned firm controls the market.
The case of Baba Danpullo is not an isolated example. It is just one of the many concrete examples illustrating the continued existence of white dominance and economic imperialism in post-apartheid South Africa. Monopoly capital is at the end of the capitalism continuum. These are the people that control the oligopolies of the industry. At the centre of this control are whites who are determined to see black African businesses fail. According to Times Live, banks cellphone firms, the construction cartel, auditing firms the wood and paper industry, and metalwork and fuel companies meet this definition of monopoly capital.
As the South African economy keels in recession, worsening an official unemployment rate reaching nearly 28 per cent, deep-seated disparities in wealth are visible across the board.
Less than half of the working-age population is officially employed. This monopoly capital does not care about black South Africans. Moreover, millions of black South Africans are chronically short of the capital needed to start businesses.
To make matters worse, the failure of the government to embark on land redistribution to empower blacks has made it worse. For example, in the aftermath of apartheid, the government left land and other assets mainly in the hands of a predominantly white elite. The governments resistance to large-scale land transfers reflected its reluctance to rattle international investors.
As argued by Ayabonga Cawe, a former economist for Oxfam, the international anti-poverty organisation, and now the host of a radio show that explores national affairs, We never dismantled apartheidthe patterns of enrichment and impoverishment are still the same. Because of this white monopoly capital, most black Africans remain marginalised from the mainstream economy 22 years after apartheid.
This seizure of Baba Danpullos assets undergirds the old argument that white monopoly capital is not new, but increasingly its used to deflect attention away from the real issues facing the countrys economy. Urgent issues that the government must address include inefficiencies, incompetence, corruption, poor infrastructure, lack of skills and destructive policies.
The governing party, the African National Congress, built empires of new housing for black South Africans but concentrated it in the townships, reinforcing the geographic super-structures of apartheid. Large swaths of the black population remain hunkered down in squalor on land they do not legally own. Those with jobs often endure hours of commuting to and from work with private minibuses that extract vast slices of their paychecks.
For Ian Goldin, former senior economic adviser to Nelson Mandela during his time as president of South Africa and now a professor of globalisation at the University of Oxford in Britain, Its a profound structural problem,. Thus, there is an urgent need to overcome a legacy of colonial exploitation, racial oppression and global isolation  the results of decades of international sanctions

From Classroom to Classroom: Tubah/Bafut MP drums right to quality education in CCAST Bambili

Published from Blogger Prime Android App

Agho Oliver Bamenjeu, Member of Parliament for the Tubah/Bafut constituency in Mezam Division of the North West Region of Cameroon, who recently bagged home a Masters degree in flying colours from a top-notch Japanese University, has been communioning and robbing shoulders with students of the Cameroon College of Arts, Science and Technology, CCAST Bambili, one of West Cameroon's foremost and equally top-notch secondary schools created immediately after the independence and reunification of the two Cameroons in 1961.

As the new apostle of the theory of the bottom-up approach to participatory development (which was the core of his two year-study in Japan), Hon. Agho Oliver decided to go down field and get the realities of the challenges and obstacles staff and students of CCAST Bambili face on a daily basis in an attempt to access their fundamental right to quality education.

Guided by the Principal, Mr. Formukom Christopher, the MP moved from classroom to Classroom and from one deplorable science lab to another.

During the visit, the MP, accompanied by the Divisional Officer for Tubah and the Regional Councilor for that constituency, saw for himself the dilapidated nature of not only the buildings and science laboratories (constructed and lastly refurbished in 1972), but also absence of scientific blackboards.

The situation was the more deplorable as in all the classes the MP and his entourage visited, students complained of the acute shortage of benches. A situation that usually forced over five students to be crammed into a bench, while others who could not afford the luxury of accessing a bench barely stand up to receive lectures and copy 📝notes. Under such circumstances, students complained they find enormous challenges accessing their rights to quality education and that such obstacles directly affect their performance.

In order to begin assuaging the deplorable situation, Hon. Agho Oliver did an on-the-spot donation of money for the procurement of four of the 10 scientific blackboards, while promising to complete the rest before the close of the year. In response to the students direct plea for benches, he promised donating 200 benches before December and more importantly, scholarships to brilliant students wishing to further their studies.

Given the dilapidated nature of the buildings in the CCAST Complex, the Tubah/Bafut member of Parliament promised to urgently take up the matter with Professor Nalova Lyonga, Secondary Education Minister and herself a graduate of the 1968 batch of CCAST Bambili.

It should be recalled that CCAST Bambili has since inception produced great minds for Cameroon, including former Prime Minister, Yang Philemon, and five sitting ministers, viz, H.E Nalova Lyonga, H.E Felix Mbayu, H.E Fuh Calistus Gentry, H.E Paul Tasong, and H.E Elong Paul Che. 

From inception, the Cameroon College of Science and Technology, CCAST Bambili, was intended to be a university institute of arts, science and technology, even though it has remained a secondary school. The school currently has a student population of over 1500, and counting....

Former CPDM mayor for Misaje Council Nkenda Simon Sunde, who crossed the carpet to join ANDP has back paddled to join the winning team. Nkenda Simon Sunde and hundreds of his followers joined thousand others to celebrate the 40th anniversary of President Biya accession to the helm of the nation. With his return to the CPDM, there is no more an opposition in Misaje. Popular opinion in Misaje holds that the CPDM will remain unbeatable in Misaje. Many have applauded the initiative by Prof. Fuh Calistus Gentry, Secretary of State for Miness, Industries and Technological Development to give dialogue a change for the welfare of his people. The return of Nkenda Simon expressionists say is a clear indication of the fact that the shoulders can never be above the head.
