A note of<br />
optimism<br />
Angola’s remarkable economic growth is much more than just<br />
a building boom. Important quality-of-life changes are also<br />
under way, often going unnoticed by many.<br />
One case in point is Luanda Bay’s shoreline makeover.<br />
As well as the project’s obvious success in removing traffic bottlenecks<br />
and opening up the improved leisure area to all, the removal of waste<br />
water and other pollutants provides cleaner water and sweetersmelling<br />
air as well as an improved sea-life habitat.<br />
Walkers now delight in the sight of densely-packed shoals of fish<br />
turning the water into a bubbling cauldron as they leap and feed on<br />
small fry. Priceless.<br />
Another overlooked quality upgrade in Angola’s everyday life is in<br />
its service industries. Qualified younger people, many trained abroad,<br />
now offer services matching those of any developed economy.<br />
Recently having to set up a mobile broadband connection – an<br />
essential item for any visiting businessman – a visit to a small, innercity<br />
mobile phone shop was rewarded with helpful, speedy service<br />
from the staff, delivered with smiles. Hugely satisfying.<br />
Angola is getting there, and not just in the built environment!<br />
