Africa's most prominent black businessman

Article Abstract:

Ashanti Goldfields CEO Sam Jonah of Ghana is regarded as a mining industry visionary who wants to make Ashanti Africa's preeminent mining company. He was deeply influenced by his father, a former soldier. Jonah began his career as an underground miner, graduated from Camborne School of Mines at Exeter University in the UK, climbed the corporate ladder at Ashanti, and was named deputy managing director in 1982 by his friend, Ghanaian President Jerry Rawlings. He became CEO four years later. Jonah believes in a decentralized management style but deals harshly with subordinates who make mistakes.

Implementing the right to counsel in post-apartheid South Africa

Article Abstract:

Indigent South African blacks face a number of hurdles when seeking legal counsel in the post-apartheid era, although law-faculty clinics may provide a partial solution. For example, the University of Western Cape law clinic has been successfully providing poor blacks with access to legal representation. South Africa's juvenile justice system has been particularly overwhelmed, with few attorneys available to represent incarcerated youths. Obstacles to the entry of blacks into the legal profession add to the overall problem.
