The Heart of A Cheetah: How We Have Been Lied to about African Poverty, and What That Means for Human Flourishing

by Magatte Wade, George Ayittey (Foreword)

Experience the life story of Magatte Wade - the bold Senegalese entrepreneur and unflinching prosperity activist, determined to shape the destiny of her African homeland.

In this riveting memoir, Wade challenges Africans to redefine their narrative, casting aside imposed inferiority to reclaim their innate brilliance.

This is not a recounting of poverty and politics. It's an indictment of a world that views Africa as nothing more than a colonial chessboard, with charity acting as the block that keeps Africans stuck.

The surprising thing is that Africa’s problems are NOT due to colonialism, corruption, bad leadership, poor skills, or a lack of education. It’s something much bigger, and yet it’s only been visible to entrepreneurs… until now.

Join the movement for Africa's rightful place in the 21 fostering innovation, earning prosperity, and growing into an economic powerhouse. Wade's impassioned voice promises nothing less than the dawn of a new era, poised to reshape history, create prosperity and peace, and unleash Africa’s bright future.

2024-07-17 Just finished this today. Excellent.
Love the message - Africa needs to rediscover and reimplement it's roots in free enterprise to allow all the individuals and countries in the continent to become rich.

Beautiful recounting of a brave and tenacious young African (Senegalese) woman's journey of discovery and mission to help her fellow humans.

Grounded in the enlightening historical account of many African countries, but primarily Senegal, where she was born and feels is home. Ms. Wade's entrepreneurial and personal experiences are joyous, gut-wrenching, fascinating, and very hopeful.

Though I am not as happy with the ending chapter or two, I devoured this book and think the messages so timely and important that I highly recommend it.

I read this book in conjunction with my participation in a beloved PPPS (Potato Peel Pie Society) reading group, inspired by the PPPS movie and book. Most in the group really liked the Cheetah book too, but some of the comments and actions of the members kind of took me aback. I'm still trying to figure that out. So neat for me to see the author Magatte Wade given the Julian Simon Award this year by the Competitive Enterprise Institute. 2025-03-02 And then I also recently (Feb) saw a clip of her testimony before the US Congress, using her book to comment on economic development issues in Africa. Marvelous!

I first came across Magatte Wade through her appearance on Jordan Peterson's podcast How Black Lives Truly Matter | Magatte Wade | EP 271 (YouTube). If nothing else, I recommend checking out that episode.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.: "At this point, I have no patience whatsoever with people who claim they want to help Africans or black people, but who are anti-capitalists. If I'm trying to help, but I learn the ways in which I'm engaging is not helping, I usually proceed to make changes. Is the goal to really achieve actual change, or is the goal to feel that you are the savior of the day? These are two very different goals, which can lead to two very different outcomes. Which are you pursuing?"

"Gradually I came to the conclusion that many of my anti-capitalist friends were motivated more by their hatred of capitalism [..] than by a positive love and care for Africans."

"[Don't] buy my products because you feel sorry for Africa, but rather buy our products because it is the best in the world for your particular skin problem, and it is from Africa."

"One of the great tragedies of 20th century Africa is that Socialism was associated with anti-colonialism, whereas Capitalism was believed to be imperialist, and therefore colonialist by nature."

Oppressive laws encourage corruption:"People talk about corruption as if it's a root problem. They believe that African people are inherently more prone to corruption than others, but that isn't the case. Corruption is the natural consequence of too many senseless laws. Laws that keep us poor."

The reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because I'm not fully convinced by her view that pre-Colonial Africa was already embracing free enterprise. I've heard similar claims made regarding India. But if that were true, why did the economically superior societies succumb to colonization/invasion by economically inferior societies? Maybe it's true, maybe not. I'm not sure yet. I intend to read some books by George Ayittey (Magatte's intellectual inspiration) to understand this better, but it's irrelevant to the future of Africa.

Magatte's Twitter/X bio states her mission: Mission: 2.5 Billion Prosperous Africans by 2050.
Wonderful. In a world of degrowth and false alarm on overpopulation, I simply can't help but smile at that. Hopefully the same can be achieved for ~1.5 Billion Prosperous Indians by 2050.

So much to say about this book….

In one statement, Magatte argues a fresh explanation about why African countries are still poor - “Africa’s business environments are the worst in the world” it’s not an issue with aid, it’s not an issue about educating more people (so many people are jobless despite getting university educations). Simply put - there needs to be a creation of more jobs and a free space for entrepreneurs to thrive. With thick government bureaucracy and unnecessary laws, this makes it impossible. Instead of investing in education and donations to “solve” poverty, instead there is a clear need to create an easier environment to start businesses (Special Economic Zones are one of her proposals for this)

I’ve observed all this first hand in Uganda. Many processes take forever . Paperwork and bureaucracy are slow and tedious. To start a business, you need to pay a hell of alot of cash up front and get about 1000 forms and approvals. It hence is often easier to pay people off which is why corruption often persists.

There’s a lot of good stuff here - if you are at all interested in a modern assessment of global development and poverty alleviation (deviations from perhaps outdated views of Sachs, Easterly, etc)…read this. Pasting some really interesting quotes from the book below/


“The moral of this story: trade, trade, trade allowed our earlier empires to become prosperous. And now African states all have high tariff barriers? What is wrong with this picture?

“the rise of billions out of poverty over the last thirty years hasn’t been powered by education. It’s the result of low-wage manufacturing (sometimes described as “sweatshops”) and other factories”

“One of the main reasons a woman would want to keep her husband no matter what is the cachet it gives her in society but also the financial security it provides her, particularly in poor communities. That’s why many women keep popping out babies.”

“Treating the symptoms is not productive,” he said. “Where does wealth come from? Entrepreneurs.

Magatte Wade is a bold Senegalese entrepreneur and unflinching prosperity activist, determined to shape the destiny of her African homeland. This book is a deeply personal autobiography, beginning with her childhood (born in Africa, moved to Germany then France then the USA), and it is truly economically profound. She dedicated the book to two people: Ibrahima Ndour, and her beloved Professor George Ayittey (Ghananian economist), who also wrote the Foreword. Ayittey did a TED talk on the Cheetah (not Hippo) Generation concept in 2007. The Cheetah Pledge requires that you must seek your wealth in private sector, and shun the government sector.

Magatte posits—and I think she proves—three reasons Africa remains poor (and by the way, Africa is 54 independent states, not one single nation):

1. Government overregulation (tax, regulations, tariffs)
2. Rampant corruption (90% of jobs in Senegal are in the informal sector; 5% companies operate legally)
3. Western charitable efforts that create dependency and destroy productive enterprise. Name one country that’s become wealthy by receiving charity? Not one.

She demolishes the argument that colonialism and slavery created the poverty in Africa, citing Singapore, Dubai, South Korea, Botswana, Rwanda, even China, all examples of former colonies creating wealth. She also provides the history of markets in Africa before Europeans stepped foot on the continent. Africa’s business environment is the worst in the world? Of the 20 lowest ranked countries for starting a business, Africa comprises 13 of them. She has “no patience” with people claim they want to help Africans but who are anti-capitalists. And why should people care about wealth and poverty in Africa? Because by 2050, it will comprise 25% of the world’s population, with an average age = 19 (vs. 38 in North America; 42 in Europe). There is an enormous amount of innovative human capital, since innovation happens below age 40. She explains why the path to prosperity is through Startup Cities. Wealth is the only known antidote to poverty. She says: prosperity building, not poverty reduction. No pity branding for African products and services. Many aid programs focus on providing short-term relief rather than fostering long-term self-sufficiency. We need to shift the conversation to promote lasting prosperity and economic independence. She criticizes Jeffery Sachs approach to development in African, among others. He had no branding, marketing, distribution, or sales strategy. She wrote an article, published in The Huffington Post, “Please Don’t Feed the Monkeys.” I asked her about Mr. Beast’s efforts to build wells in Africa. She believes he also doesn’t understand what’s truly needed. You can give a man a fish, even teach him to fish. But the problem in Africa is they don’t have access to the water due to government (see 3 reasons above). What about education as the solution to poverty? She points out that one-half of the 10 million graduates of the 668 universities in Africa annually don’t get a job. The 1 billion people lifted out of poverty over the last 30 years was not powered by education. She also deals with energy poverty, by asking: “Ever been inside a small home which cooks using charcoal?” It’s a Cancer factory. Rather than unreliable wind and solar she favors propane, nuclear, and fossil fuels. I love her grandmother’s advice:

“Do not let any of it intimidate you!” Even if most will not look like you and will have a different skin color, they are still humans, and you are a human being.”

Her mantra: “criticize by creating” (“Dust on the feet is better than dust on the behind”). Magatte is a force. I have no doubt she will change the way people think about Africa. She’s also incredibly inspirational. To learn more check out:

I felt it didn’t live up to the tag line. It was more of a story of a girl with a dream and how she carried it out. I was hoping it was more of a non-fiction study on African business culture. It was 1/2 that 1/2 memoir.

[Brian · Rating 2 out of 5]

Magatte Wade's The Heart of a Cheetah makes a respectable, albeit inconsistent, case for helping Africa thrive by reducing regulations and improving institutions. It is also enjoyable to listen to the book in her own voice.

Wade's observation that corruption stems from regulation rather than from endemic predispositions is helpful for those who haven't yet connected the corruption in Africa with corruption in every every other country that enacts foolish regulations. The USA had widespread corruption and crime under the Prohibition of the 1920s, in response to foolish regulation, and the inertia of the gangs and compromised officials continued well beyond the end of that ill-fated experiment. Indeed, it is being repeated in the current drug wars.

The Hearth of a Cheetah is easy to read, but not as consistent or eloquent as it might be. In particular, Wade's shift from promoting independent entrepreneurship in Africa to becoming part of the NGOs that she criticizes in Poverty, Inc. is disheartening. Rather than creating industries that compete in global markets on their own merits, she has shifted to products that are instead designed to remind foreign users of their implicit bias(es) against Africa(ns). After reading the majority of her book where she tries to help Africans produce goods of high quality to sell competitively, she has instead shifted toward the DEI rhetoric that the real battle is to somehow help non-Africans to overcome their unconscious biases against Africa and blacks more generally.

Unfortunately, accusing would-be customers that they should buy products out of guilt for being unconsciously racist is neither a noble nor an auspicious path. We only have to reverse the roles to see how misguided it is. If Chinese were selling lip therapy products to Africans at inflated prices to help Africans address their implicit anti-Chinese racism, how would the Africans react? Note that westerners all over the world, simultaneously purchase HUGE quantities of Chinese goods, despite frequent and vicious anti-China rhetoric. Clearly even explicit bias does not impede compelling economic transactions.

Despite its inconsistencies, this book does support and provide some concrete suggestions as to how Africans can raise themselves up, rather than entrenching plutocrats and bureaucracy through foreign aid. Startup cities with minimal red tape for conducting business are perhaps a step in the right direction, as the ultimate solutions for Africa's problems must come from within. Any negative impressions that non-Africans might have of Africa(ns) are best overcome by Africans making the necessary changes to encourage entrepreneurship. The overwhelming economic success of recent African immigrants to the USA, including Wade herself, demonstrate that race is not an obstacle to African success.

Wade’s inspiring account of her own life had me glued to the book, and I related both to her spiritual journey and experiences in progressive circles. If you grew up in California and you are interested in the world and/or poverty alleviation, read this book. Just incredible.

This has SUCH important information in it. The content could have been better arranged, but I still totally recommend checking this one out. I loved the way so many huge concepts were explained in such understandable ways. I learned so much reading this book.

Thanks to Magatte Wade, my awareness of and interest in Africa piqued as I find myself closer to fully appreciating this vast continent. I like George Ayittey’s comparison in the prologue of the book comparing the rising generation of Africans to the fastest land animal. Many people may not be aware that the cheetah possesses many unique traits, among which are that of being able to adapt to extreme climate conditions and a re-articulating skeleton that allows it to run incredibly fast. This encapsulates the kind of entrepreneurs and change agents currently transforming African culture and its future. Unlike the labels “Generation X or Y or Z”, she is quick to remind the reader that “being a member of the Cheetah Generation has nothing to do with your age or whether you are African or not and everything to do with your mindset.”
I am fully aware that the term “African culture” fails miserably to convey the reality of people on the ground. Africa, like America, embodies an amalgamation of cultures, histories and perspectives. Therefore, how can one attempt an approach to the misnomer “African culture”? While this term defies explanation, we have to suspend our expectations for clarity and worldviews in the sake of addressing a continent-wide misunderstanding.
Like many of my generation, Africa registered more personally on my radar in 1984 when we heard Christmas songs sold as fundraisers to send aid to starving children. Magatte Wade confronts the “bloated bellies” and “flies in the eyes” stereotype from the very beginning of her book stating that trade will benefit starving children than aid ever has. Wade makes every effort to push a more positive narrative. She unabashedly takes the time to introduce the reader to the complex picture that 54 nations present beginning with her own experience growing up in Senegal and then following her parents to Europe. They had gone before leaving her behind with her grandmother for the first eight years of her life. I was deeply touched by her account of this special relationship. Upon arriving in Germany, she explains how the contrast between the 1st and 3rd world alarmed her early on and caused her to look under every stone for a reason for this disparity.
In 2009, I was on a business trip to Málaga, Spain when a Senegalese man approached me selling watches. In the US he would have been snatched up immediately by any NFL team just for his size and physique. The watches he was selling were cheap knockoffs. It was a unexpected juxtaposition for my brain to register. I was struck at once not by only by his stature, but his humility. In the US we are not used to encountering bulk of this magnitude without the accompanying attitude and bravado. He possessed none of these traits. I felt I was interacting with an intelligent child. One could see he worked hard and had been through a great deal of tragedy before arriving at this point in his life. He explained to me in his native French that this was the best job he had ever held. In 30 years of travelling to Spain and other parts of Europe, I have seen an ever-increasing number of Africans. The men and women from Sub-saharan Africa with whom I have interacted and done business are at once disarming and also meek and diligent workers. I am aware through news reports and anecdotal evidence that not all experiences with Africans immigrants have been similar to mine, however, I am grateful for my experience and perspective.
The people of Tunisia are no more like the people of Botswana than the people of Mexico are like Paraguayans. The traditions, the world view, the culture, the food, the music, the dance, and the religion of the innumerable African peoples demand that we respect and recognize their uniqueness. This is where Magatte Wade’s articulate description of her background filled in (to some degree) the gaps in my understanding. She helped me see beyond stereotypes and expand my mind. Her trials and successes, her personal tragedies for an incredible mosaic. The way I see it, the first step in making this world a smaller place is to see each other as human – with aspirations and dreams; grandparents and newborns; pain and joy; thrills and disappointments. In a world where prosperity is more of a threat to people’s health than starvation we need to address the answers differently than we have up to this point. In her book, I love the reference to the adage that raising the tide of expectations, engagement and entrepreneurism, all boats rise. Her attitude and forward thinking have already made my own boat rise. I highly recommend not only reading this book but sharing it and educating the people in your sphere of influence about the hope, beauty and power of Africa’s exceptionality.

Why The Heart of a Cheetah is a Must-Read on African Prosperity

As a friend of Magatte Wade for over a decade, I've witnessed her passionate journey firsthand. Now, her memoir, The Heart of a Cheetah, isn't just a testament to her personal, professional, and intellectual growth, it's a powerful, eye-opening exploration of Africa's potential and the systemic roadblocks hindering its progress.

Forget self-indulgent entrepreneur bios or empty "dream big" platitudes. This is raw, intimate storytelling. Magatte's childhood in Senegal, life in Germany and France, and establishment in the US, an ongoing quest for an Africa powered by entrepreneurial energy narrated with unfiltered honesty. This transparency builds a deep connection, drawing you into her world and its challenges.

Along Magatte's quest to create great African brands globally, she wonders:

"I had seen so many Africans who became prosperous as soon as they moved to a rich country. I was one of them. Why, then, were Africans so stuck in poverty in Africa?"

Finding the answer was eye opening forMagatte, becoming an advocate for economic freedom in Africa:

"Not one single person can deny that if African nations provided business environments that were as effective and streamlined as those of New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong or Denmark, then Africa would become more prosperous."

But The Heart of a Cheetah is more than a captivating biography. It's a bold challenge to conventional Socialist narratives about African poverty. Magatte doesn't blame colonialism or pity-mongering; she tackles the issue head-on, arguing that a flawed legal framework stifled by overregulation and a lack of property rights is the true culprit.

“three essential tools: property rights, the rule of law, and freedom. In the course of the last century, every nation that has provided its citizens with access to these tools has become prosperous.”

While the West focuses on blaming the recent past, Magatte highlights the present building on the rich cultural and political African tradition: a continent choked by red tape, where aspiring entrepreneurs are suffocated by bureaucracy.

Magatte doesn't simply diagnose the problem, she offers a powerful cure. Her call to action is as clear as it is inspiring: support African businesses and entrepreneurs, work on changing the laws to remove barriers to entrepreneurship, embrace innovations like blockchain and free cities, and most importantly, challenge the ingrained socialist mindset that holds a continent back.

Why joining the movement is important for all, not only Africans?

"In a globalized world, the loss of talents and energies of more than a billion human beings is incalculable. What could an unleased Africa bring to every aspect of human endeavor?"

This bold vision demands attention, and it starts with reading The Heart of a Cheetah.

When Magatte Wade speaks, everybody listens. When Magatte Wade writes, everyone should read.

"Why is Africa poor? Once upon a time we drank the deadly ideology of socialism... Name a person or country that has become wealthy by receiving aid." "Capitalism is the best thing that happened to feminism--women can escape poverty and bad husbands too." "I beg of you--If you truly care about black Africans, join me in being a forthright advocate for economic freedom in Africa."

This entrepreneur/author gives good evidence for her views about Africa and poverty. I was impressed by interview of Magatte Wade. She talks with sense and passion.

"When you realize that Africa…is the most over-regulated region in the world, that offers its entrepreneurs the least freedom to enterprise, then you understand why we’re poor. Poverty is solved by prosperity; prosperity is built by entrepreneurs; entrepreneurs need a business class environment. Africa is the worst business environment in the world."

“At this point I have no patience whatsoever with people who claim they want to help Africans or Black people but who are “anti-capitalists.”

Capitalism saves the environment too. Poor people have to chop down trees to heat their homes and they have to kill the chimpanzees so they can eat.

I really enjoyed this book. Magatte’s story is incredible and heartbreaking; she is so motivated and has done so much good for Africa. The book is an interesting mix of memoir and economic theory and activism.

I was not expecting a libertarian take on economics when I started the book, but it aligns with my belief in the free market. I appreciated her assertions that a free market and an environment, friendly to entrepreneurship is what Africa needs to thrive. The stories she told about the struggles of starting businesses in Senegal were unbelievable. I was impressed by her confidence in changing her mind about her political views even as her educated liberal friends dumped her for seeing the benefits of capitalism.

The chapter about the rampant corruption in African governments, and how leaders often use foreign aid to enrich themselves to the tune of billions of dollars was disgusting and my view on charity, for developing countries has been forever changed after reading this book. Such a fascinating read.

[Emiliano Rojas Eng · Rating 4 out of 5]

Coincido con muchas de las ideas. El libro es la biografía de una emprendedora africana, dando testimonio de los retos de emprender en africa y argumentando sobre la necesidad de mejorar el entorno de negocios para crear riqueza en lugar de sólo combatir la pobreza. En general sentí que es un libro sencillo,con más testimonio y ejemplos conocidos que argumentos teóricos. Siento que no soy el público objetivo porque yo ya coincido con la autora y me aburrió un poco, pero después recordé que precisamente en Latinoamerica al igual que en africa mucho gente educada se equivocan con exactamente los mismos argumentos al hablar de desarrollo económico por ser quedar bien con el status quo socialista de nuestra región. Me llevó 2 recomendaciones de la autora: Leer “Africa Unchained” para el argumento teórico/económico del que se sustenta el libro y el documental “Poverty Inc” sobre los estragos de las ONGs

[Kerry · Rating 5 out of 5]

A thought-provoking analysis of why Africans find themselves at their present economic crossroads and how we might move forward.

Personal vignettes and reflections are contrasted against the tell-it-like-it-is state of play in Africa. I appreciate Magatte's willingness to examine the colonial yoke and ask what it might take for young Africans, the "cheetahs," to move beyond the damaging legacy of colonialism using "jobs, not gifts [read:foreign aid]."

Upending the traditional narrative surrounding African poverty, The Heart of A Cheetah is an important read for any global citizen who is curious to learn more about the continent that will likely define the next century.

[Charlie Hoehn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading Magatte's story and diagnosis of why Africa remains stuck in poverty was a breath of fresh air. She's a phenomenal storyteller, and I fully believe she's right in her analysis: So many nations in Africa are poor because they have the world's worst business environments. Businesses don't work, therefore no jobs, therefore no income, therefore no money. Simple and obvious. I pray that this book makes its way into the hands of policy makers that can actually start the process of creating better business environments in Africa, and open up Startup Cities.

3.5 stars rounded up because I saw her speak and she’s amazing. I’m already inclined to agree with her policy prescriptions, but I would have loved to see more backing a lot of her conclusions. The book was half memoir/half policy thesis, and I think the split hurt the ability of the book to accomplish either goal as well as I would have liked. But she’s a force of nature and that comes through in her writing.

[Morning Glory · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not super well-written but lots of good information and options to move Africa forward business-wise, which she argues will increase quality of life as well. Aid and education is not enough from her experience to lift her people up. I really liked her nuance take on race relations.

“I had forgotten it was normal to make mistakes.” 6%
“Trade is better than aid.” 65%
“Go to war with who, exactly?… Skin is skin… this is so ridiculous.” 74%
