I have just returned from Davos at a gathering of some of the world‘s most powerful business and political leaders. I attend every year to take the voice of the poorest and most marginalised people of Africa and around the world. I go there, in particular, to challenge them to tackle rising economic inequality and to end poverty. Let me tell you about inequality. One week ago, we released a report on the scale of inequality and the frightening pace at which it is growing. Read it if you get the chance. It is titled, An Economy for the One Per cent and it has made headlines around the world. Our report shows that a tiny group of super-rich (just 62 people), now own more wealth than the 3.6 billion people who make up the poorest half of the world‘s population. That figure of 62 is down from 80 people last year while it was 388 people in 2010. You can see, wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few people. And our continent is not exempt. Six African countries: South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Central African Republic and Lesotho are among the top ten most unequal countries in the world.
