Anyone who believes this .....

Personally said, anyone doing business in Africa, either has a private army working for him or he must be crazy.

It's a paradox. On the one hand, a whole load of celebreties spend time and effort to raise cash and help for Africa and on the other you cannot trust any African, who calls himself a businessman.

Let me expand that a little. I am sure there are honerable people in Africa. The problem is, that anyone who goes to Africa on business or to work, usually gets taken for a ride at some time during their stay there. I have enough stories, even from friends, who say a white man, in their eyes, is rich. So they will pump you for a small ammount of money, and if you give it to them, their demands increase a thousand fold.

On top of this, it is hard to coroborate an African businessman or company as being trustworthy. This leaves only one course open. Don't do business with Africans. That's hard I know, but it's better than losing your money.
