The paper examines African development through the lens of the dependency theory. It asks if Africa is still socio-economically and politically dependent on its former colonisers. Employing a qualitative research approach, where a literature review was undertaken, the paper reveals that indeed, Africa is still very much dependent on former colonisers for its political and economic direction. Additionally, Africa has failed to break free from colonial domination not only because African leaders have become complacent with the status quo but because of the unorthodox intervention by former colonisers in the affairs of Africa.
