Heineken claims its presence boosts economic development on the continent. But is this true? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInvestigative journalist Olivier van Beemen has spent years seeking the answer, and his conclusion is damning: Heineken has hardly benefited Africa at all. On the contrary, there are some shocking skeletons in its African closet: tax avoidance, sexual abuse, links to genocide and other human rights violations, high-level corruption, crushing competition from indigenous brewers, and collaboration with dictators and pitiless anti-government rebels. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eHeineken in Africa\u003c\/em\u003e caused a political and media furor on publication in The Netherlands, and was debated in their Parliament.
