For three months now the Kaombo Norte has been anchored off the northern coast of Angola and has recently begun to pump up crude oil secreted in the depths below. The arrival of the platform ship which belongs to French oil giant Total has been a timely lifeline for the Angolan government. (Photo by Rodger BOSCH / AFP)RODGER BOSCH/AFP/Getty Images

    It is wrong to demonise Chinese labour practices in Africa

    A study of companies in Angola and Ethiopia finds that negative stories are mostly untrue

    This photo taken on October 4, 2016 shows an Ethiopian workers inside the Huajian shoe factory on the outskirts of Addis Ababa. US presidential candidate Donald Trump has pledged to bring long lost US manufacturing jobs back from China. But he may be too late -- even for products that bear his family name. Huajian, a Chinese company that makes shoes for his daughter's fashion line, is moving production to Africa, where labour is much cheaper. / AFP / Zacharias ABUBEKER / TO GO WITH US-vote-Trump-China-manufacturing-employment,FOCUS by Ben Dooley (Photo credit should read ZACHARIAS ABUBEKER/AFP/Getty Images)

    A worker works with a hose on the Kaombo Norte, an oil tanker converted into a FPSO vessel (Floating Production Storage and Offloading), owned by the French Total oil company, on November 8, 2018, about 250km off the coast of Angola in the Atlantic Ocean. - Moored in the endless South Atlantic Ocean far off the coast of Angola, the "Kaombo Norte" oil-extraction vessel is a deeply impressive sight -- 330 metres long, with a tower 110 metres high sending a burning flame into the sky. But inside, daily life on the ship is a different matter, with a crew of about 100 sharing narrow passages and confined spaces, living for weeks at a stretch in close quarters 24 hours a day.

    People walk around a large puddle of stagnant water in a slum in Luanda on February 22, 2018 following heavy rains. Heavy rains, filthy conditions, medicine shortages and endemic corruption have proved to be a lethal cocktail for Angola. The country is one of Africa's top oil producers but malaria continues to ravage the mostly poor population because of the persistent failings of officials and institutions. More than 1,000 people have died in just two months, according to official statistics. "The number is frightening," said Jose Antonio, the director of public health in Kilamba Kiaxe, a poor neighbourhood of the capital Luanda. / AFP PHOTO / AMPE ROGERIO (Photo credit should read AMPE ROGERIO/AFP/Getty Images)
