“Nergens zijn er aan de Evenaar onder Leopold II, of zijn Belgische opvolgers na 1908, volkerenslachtingen geweest à la de zieke heersers Hitler, Stalin of Pol Pot. Wel hebben Lucas Catherine, Jules Marchal en Daniel Groenweghe het bestrijden van het imperialisme — of het wegschrijven van hun ontgoochelingen in Afrika — gezien als de overtreffende trap van het antikapitalisme. En auteurs als Mark Twain, Arthur Conan Doyle en Hugo Claus hebben met een bloeiende verbeelding en de insteek van Don Quichote, een potpourri gemaakt van Congo Vrijstaat en zijn stichter.”

“Oud manager Heineken: 'Ik kan je vanuit de grond van mijn hart zeggen dat we bij Heineken zaken willen verbeteren en positief willen bijdragen aan de samenlevingen waar we opereren. We proberen ons aan alle regels te houden, hoe moeilijk dat ook is. Het steekt me dat dat onderuit wordt gehaald met opmerkingen dat alles voor ons marketing en commercie is. Het is heel lastig om een eiland van perfectie te zijn in een zee van ellende, maar twijfel niet aan de oprechtheid.'
Heineken als eiland van perfectie. En Afrika? Het continent waar Heineken sinds meer dan een eeuw vele miljarden heeft verdiend? 'Een zee van ellende.'
Maar twijfel niet aan de goede bedoelingen.”
