    African rangelands and pastoralism in a changing continent: Perspectives and opportunities
    (Taylor and Francis Group, 2023) Samuels, M Igshaan; Egeru, Anthony; Mugabe, Prisca
    Eighty-five years ago, Africa was described as a land of promise because it provided an immense opportunity for maximum return in the minimum time (Olaniyan 2000). It was treated this way because it was considered more for its deposits of natural wealth and less for its potential for settlement or as a destination market for goods and services produced in Europe and elsewhere (Le Clair 1937). For over 50 years, this narrative held ground but in the last 20 years, perception has shifted with Africa becoming a destination market and a growth opportunity creator, whilst holding ground as a resource provider (Sy 2016).
