President Joao Lourenco has been trying to diversify the economy of Africa’s second-biggest oil producer in a bid to revive an economy that has been in recession for the past five years.Significant quantities of gold have been found in Angola after the government in 2018 approved new gold mining concessions, Jornal de Angola reported on March 20, citing the Minister of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas.&nbsp;Dondo has other investments in Angola including in the oil and diamond sectors, real estate, health-care and urban transportation. He also holds minority stakes in Angolan lenders Banco de Investimento Rural and Banco Comercial do Huambo.Anti-corruption website Maka Angola reported last year that Dondo’s businesses in Angola had benefited from his close ties with government officials from the previous administration. Dondo has denied these allegations, adding that he hasn’t been accused of any wrongdoing in Angola.&nbsp;
