        Even if China is doing what the West has been doing the past whatsoever years, this kinda a deal remains regrettable. We as Africans just chose to have mad people like Trump to call us Sithole

        Though I'm not a Magafuli fan, it's in times as these I find his policy with foreigners hard to resist, African countries need a more robust way to ensure agreements are fulfilled on time and quality upheld. Too much money has been lost to bad deals or weak supervision
