Also, organizations such as <a href="http://www.endeavor.org">Endeavor.org</a> are greatly assisting entrepreneurship in this part of the world.  South Africa is growing at about 6% per annum &#8211; our infrastructure can&#8217;t keep up and we&#8217;re on our way to hosting the 2010 World Cup Soccer &#8211; a spectacular honor!  To believe that there &#8220;aren&#8217;t so many&#8221; entrepreneurs in Africa is very myopic!</p><p>The following video is an all-time YouTube favourite of mine &#8211; I wish there was one that included South Africa &#8211; maybe I&#8217;ll put one together sometime &#8211; but regardless, Globalization if upon us, so enjoy!</p><p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ljbI-363A2Q"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ljbI-363A2Q" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.vinnylingham.com/african-entrepreneurs-globalization-shift-happens.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>19</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
