No the point is SA is not a developing nation like Kenya but a NIC

But still a developing country

vankelvin:
I know what I know.

I don't know what you have on mind so spill it all out

....

Austine1213:
Did you think it popped out of the blue and become developed?

Worked with what the had

That question applies to South Africa too

Just30:
you dont have industries

your trade data tells it all

That is bad for Kenya

jln115:
Did I say it was?

That is the point

Austine1213:
Does Germany have mineral wealth?

Countries without mineral wealth build industries and you didn't so in my book you doing badly

We do have industries
Germany is a developed country Kenya is not
Your book is biased against Kenya so what do you expect

Austine1213:
60 years yall still at 75%

That is great for Kenya

mtisTheQubit:
Folks are adapting an like someone is not happy...

Yeah kplc is going bankrupt

jln115:
uhm yes it was and buildings are part of construction

Show me where it was about construction Japan and South Africa

Austine1213:
Lol Germany is automatic industrial Giant, no dependency on minerals

Nothing special about Kenya, even countries we building industries yall were busy growing flowers and tea

I yall didnt even think you building great tea industries, to export finished products

Stop being lazy to think

Germany is a developed country Kenya is not
Compare apples and apples please not oranges
Show me an African country like Kenya no mineral wealth but third largest economy in sub Saharan Africa

mtisTheQubit:
But msee the stuff about solar an kplc am not liking it at all.folks got right to use whatever stuff they want..can't force people to connect to grid..

Folks prefer solar because it's cheap than kplc

Austine1213:
Kenya did nothing, anyway that has nothing to do with the fact that 60 years you still at 75% electrification

We had our own problems
75% is great for Kenya

vankelvin:
[/b]

Up to the levels of?

You know what iam talking about

Austine1213:
It doesn't matter fact is yall had a chance to connect the entire country, 60 years later yall at 75%? Are you kidding me

60 freaking years, what were yall doing all these years?

We have done good for an African country Without mineral wealth

Austine1213:
2 days ago miss Trudy was moaning about load shedding


Most of you are not electrified anyway

Load shedding in Kenya not really
75% means most Kenyans are electrified and others use solar panels

jln115:
Austine - talks about construction
Tylann- responds to construction post with his view on construction wrt Japan vs SA

1+1=2.................you were talking about construction

Austin says construction is all over South Africa
Tylann says there is also construction in Kenya

Our discussion about Japan and South Africa was not about construction
Jln115 quotes me And talks about buildings??

jln115:
Nope..........NIC

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/newly-industrialized-country.asp

That doesn't mean South Africa is a developed country

jln115:
Exactly!! that means you and Austine were talking about construction!

No I didn't

Austine1213:
South Africa is at 95% now from 34%


Kenya was free to do anything since the 60s why didn't they provide electricity to its people? Your government failed you

You cant be playing catchup since the 60s

Let's talk about the present South Africa is experiencing load shedding Kenya is not

Austine1213:
since the 60 you are at 75%

Kenya is not even in the top 10

Not the 60s do you have Kenya's electrification rates of the 60s

Austine1213:
That's the where the difference comes, Gold alone won't develop a country

It won't but it will make a major difference

Austine1213:
First China urbanization is less than 50%
2ndly it has population of 1.5b
3rd its a huge country

So basically 700m Chinese live in informal settlements, villages, farms....

That's why China has bigger GDP PPP than US, when you you look at GDP PPP per capita US is far greater

South Africa cities are developed, if you think other wise come with proof with references that proves so with facts

Maybe western and northern China are still developing eastern China is well developed
Johannesburg, Cape Town etc have such slums show me any city in the world that is developed that has such types of slums

Austine1213:
On lighter note SA is heavily industrialized, SA exports was $18b that alone is not enough to push a huge country like SA that's where industries comes in.

I didn't deny that
South Africa is the most industrialized country in Africa

Austine1213:
It's pointless to explain it to him

He's suffering from backfire effect, along with the rest of his country men

No need for that
You haven't proven me wrong anywhere with facts

Austine1213:
China is a developing country cities are developed

By the way Capetown, joburg, Pretoria, Durban are developed, I won't include others

Yesterday on GoBlack2Africa channel with African traveller showing another part of Nairobi, Eastleigh..... NAIROBI IS FAR LESS DEVELOPED

#fact

Eastleigh, kilimani, Keleshewe, upperhill, Yaya, westlands are not nice if that's your best of your best city, yall he's prayers

Those South African cities are not developed with all those shanty houses and slums can you compare Johannesburg and for example linz Johannesburg has slums linz doesn't or maybe shenzen , does shenzen have slums like Cape Town
China is a developing country in theory
It is well if Nairobi doesn't impress you it's your opinion we live in a free world

Just30:
If only the current nairobi was a match to Ghana, then that will be true but unfortunately, current nairobi is an undeveloped combination of muddy villages and slums.

You don't mean it
Can we do this again post Accra I will post Nairobi pics

mtisTheQubit:
I still believe Kenyans are smart folks... No minerals but look at us...

We are smart

jln115:
says the Kenyan that believes the earth is flat

And where is the problem with that

jln115:
South Africa is a NIC

Still a developing country like the rest of African countries

jln115:
you good bro?

It is your South African brother
I only responded and that was that

Most of Egypt irrigation projects has focused on desert lands which it has turn to farm lands.

Agriculture in northern Ghana is not rain-fed, without irrigation, you cant grow anything.

We've spent billions to provide irrigation there, another billion dollars into irrigation facilities is being invested there for agric purposes.

I haven't denied that what iam saying is agriculture in Ghana is moslty rainfed

Just30:
no one has avoided Ghana gold export.

Ghana gold exports has led to huge growth in living standards of Ghanaians and development in infrastructure in every part of Ghana.

Ghana oil export is not huge but it will grow in the next 5 years.

We are not seeing that I expected Cape Town like Accra but I don't see that
