Western “colonial” states are not interested in S. Africa’s
development, but rather want to take its natural resources and never
give anything back, Jacob Zuma, S. African president, told RT. It’s
China’s investment that Zuma sees as a way to prosperity.
“The Western world or the European countries, in particular,
came to Africa [in the 19th century] to colonize and they had
been taking the resources of Africa,” Zuma said.
But even after the continent decolonized itself in the mid-20th
century, its relationship with the US, UK, France and other
Western countries “remained the same,” he stressed.
“They still regard us as the Third World, as a kind of
people, who must be related to as the former subject [state],
etc. That talks also to the economics… Their intention has never
been to make the former colonial countries develop,” the
president explained.
