CopperKing Vision

“Model for the Development of Africa by Africans for God”

 

Voluntary grass roots development package initiated by Governments and carried out by responsible private sector investors utilizing modern theories of mass empowerment through love and according to the principles of the teachings of Jesus Christ our Lord and the keeper of this Vision.

 

Definitions applicable to the Vision Statement:

Voluntary

The basic premise that people are more responsive to ideas when they have volunteered for them, resulted in it being essential to making this model work.

Grass roots

For the model to sell it needs to change lives and the easiest lives to change are those desperate for change, people below the breadline.

Development package

This implies that the model which has farther reaching effect than the people at the grass roots.

Initiated by Governments

This implies that Governments will fulfil their own objectives in the application of the model in order for them to actively pursue its application and meet the needs of their individual nations faster.

Responsible private sector investors

An assumption is hereby made that the private sector is best geared to highest efficiency project management as they will make decisions which take their capital into account.

History has proved that not all of these companies have been responsible in fulfilling their duties to their host country or it’s people and as such local ownership by citizens should be encouraged in order that they retain control of their own destiny.

Utilizing modern theories of mass empowerment

Broadcasting the vision (showing the people the lighted path), rekindling Hope in Africa, removing fears and instilling a sense of pride at being African and thereby helping people believe in themselves through mind set changes.

 Through love

In our opinion love is the best medium through which to teach (without wrath and judgement –love is gentle, love is kind and we all desire it) and change mind sets. 

According to the Principles of the teachings of Jesus

We simply happened to be born into Christianity and as such know very little of other religions but we have met Godly people from many religious backgrounds and have come to the conclusion that the example set by Jesus is fair enough to all communities to start as a base for our code of ethics without excluding anyone,  (we all have some evil which has been implanted in us through the corruption of mankind) – and we will strive to kill the devil within us together and through love.

The Keeper of the Vision

This statement simply gives the Glory to God so that no man may arise through this model to think that he may be God and to understand that we are all equally mere mortals and no one life is more important than any other.

 

Models objectives:

1)    To encourage voluntary Africanization of businesses on the continent while proving that this improves profitability and return for the investors.

2)    All CopperKing partnerships will include a 50% staff buy in over a 10 year period and equity will be held by the CopperKing parent company.

3)    To prove to Governments that certain incentives need to be attached to compliant companies as a reward for the wealth distribution created thus allowing better returns for participants.

4)    To create an African Economic Empire whereby development on the continent can be decided on by all the African leaders through private sector means and thus retain African control of our future.

5)     To provide a transparent mechanism whereby African leaders (current and retired) will be taken care of financially through dividends from their share allotment as a reward for keeping the chain flourishing.
