The African Union Commission (AUC) says the natural resources must contribute to shared prosperity of Africans.

The commission chairperson, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, says that industrialisation, value addition and the beneficiation of raw minerals are important in resolving the paradox of a rich Africa and poor Africans.

Dlamini-Zuma points out that, “If you look at all these big economies and medium-sized countries that have developed, they have developed because of mineral resources.”
