******Over the past several years, efforts have been made to persuade both national and international corporations to locate their businesses across Africa. However, one of the challenges that Africa faces are how can an African movement, especially with Africa’s emerging markets, not become an exploitation movement? The people with the highest rate of unemployment in Africa are in all actuality the fiber and history of this Continent. Thus, any plan that does not include them will result in the development of modern cities without a history or soul. As a result, the exploitation that took place centuries earlier with the slave trade will occur again, only this time, instead of it being people, it will be Africa’s natural resources.
The key to economic development is innovation, growth and self- sustainability for all of the residents of Africa. TSG believes that we are on track to meeting this laudable goal with creating white-collar jobs, educating and training employees along the way. We are implementing a plan to address the third aspect of this economic development process, which is creating careers for the African residents who need them most.
Moreover, TSG recognizes that to uplift a community and fully ensure growth we will not only hire and maintain long term employment, but also will commit a significant portion of our profits to community and educational organizations, partnering with several local non-profit organizations to re-invigorate the hearts and souls of the people; re-instill the pride of honest work, craftsmanship and entrepreneurial efforts and to revitalize African city into a working class continent.
