Daughter of Angola's ex-president sacked as state oil chief

:blessed: Change is in the air in Southern Africa. @TTT



Angolan President Joao Lourenco on Wednesday fired his predecessor’s daughter, Isabel dos Santos, from her influential post as head of the Sonangol state oil company, the presidency said in a statement.

Her appointment to the oil giant last year was widely criticised as a symbol of the nepotism and corruption that flourished under Dos Santos.

Lourenco swept to power as the ruling party’s candidate in August elections after pledging to clean up Angola’s endemic graft and revive its listless economy.

“Under the powers vested in him by the constitution, the president… has decided to relieve the following directors who make up the board of Sonangol,” said the statement, which named former president Jose Eduardo dos Santos’ daughter, Isabel.

Known derisively as “the princess”, 44-year-old Isabel became the public face of the Dos Santos business empire.

Even through the collapse in the oil price in recent years, crude has remained Angola’s leading revenue source, contributing 70 percent of the country’s income.

Isabel dos Santos described herself as an “entrepreneur” on her Twitter account and the US-based Forbes magazine claims that she is Africa’s richest woman.

Black gold provides 70 percent of Angola’s revenues and almost all of its hard currency, but many of the country’s citizens are mired in poverty.

This is one of the most lit weeks of sub-saharan Africa breh. :wow: History's being made, in Angola and Zimbabwe. :blessed:

The streets is mad quiet right now, since she's the sole owner of the main (there are only two major ones) communications enterprise in the country. I believe people are being cautious, otherwise whatsapp would be buzzing like a mofo.

I'm sure you also read that the guy who replaced her as HNIC is a breh she fired just last week.

A few 6 days ago (9th of Nov) this article came out:

Isabel dos Santos: Presidente ilegal da Sonangol

Isabel dos Santos: Sonangol's ilegal President

Dramatic, some may say.:ld: Or perhaps it was just an ominous article.:sas1: Maybe word got out early. :sas2:
Either way, it happened. It's getting spooky out here. Mad wars going on in the background. I'm out at the moment, but I'm gonna update y'all on what's poppin'. Thanks for the heads up @thatknickfan :whoo:. Y'all brehs gotta chill with the @'s though, feds watching. :smh: I'm actually using her comms service right now matter of fact. :gucci:

Respect breh. Valuable to hear local opinions, which are hard to gauge with the language barrier.

this half russian bytch is always at some conference talking about entrepreneurship when she only knows about nepotism and resource theft. you ain't got shyt to tell anyone you corrupt c*nt. :birdman:
Iimagine it's because when you're in power entrepreneurship is ownership. If I loan you the money for your startup, I own a percentage of your business and your loyalty.

I feel like this language is harsh, but I like the harsh tone.

I'm counting on the fact that traffic is crazy these days and counting/punishing all the people that will send shots at the princess is an exercise in futility. But you never know. :wow: Ion wanna get got breh. :sadcam:
