@businessinsiderssa: “If somebody like myself needs 38 visas to move around Africa, how do I invest?” — Aliko Dangote Speaking during a conversation with IFC Managing Director Makhtar Diop, Africa’s richest man said visa restrictions, border delays, and expensive transport systems are slowing down trade and investment across the continent. Dangote argued that Africa cannot achieve real prosperity without the free movement of people, goods, and services, revealing that even moving products between neighbouring countries can take weeks because of border bottlenecks. He added that foreign investors will only take Africa seriously when Africans themselves begin investing boldly in the continent. Do you think visa restrictions are slowing Africa’s growth? --- This video is credited to @ifc_org

I think all those measures are put to control and manage migration as well as businesses. It's also a business on its own.
