    As for the renewal of that Goldfields mining lease, the South Africans should quickly forget about it. They can go and mine the plenty gold in their country. We shall keep our gold in the ground.

    What a wrong statement to make. The President of Ghana should sit by while his citizens are dehumanized, attacked.
    If solving a problem makes him weak, we like it. And what is happening to the strong Cyril who did nothing?
