African politicians steal taxes, I am from South Africa and see the corruption first hand. Mauritius is a well run country unlike most of Africa, makes sense to use it as a base to do business in Africa
- gitrog 7y agoPoliticians stealing money isn't solely an African phenomenon, and in many "first world" countries the lower and middle classes suffer due to lobbying which politicians can use to enrich themselves and their cronies.
