His father spent ten years as a political prisoner. He made a 1996 bid to run for the presidency of Ghana. He married a Dutch woman named Cornelia.

Pianim married Elisabeth Murdoch daughter of billionaire Rupert Murdoch.

Pianim and Murdoch has two children Cornelia Pianim born in 1994 in New York and Anna Pianim born in 1997 in London. Pianim
and Murdoch divorced in 1998.

Daughters Cornelia and Anna

Laura Bush’s car in 1963 struck and killed 17 year old class mate Mike Douglas. Like her husband George Bush spent no time in prison. Different rules for the so called elite.

Pianim launched Britain’s New Nation newspaper, aimed at black readers, which failed to achieve financial success. However, it was the only newspaper which put African American Margie Schoedinger on the front page. Schoedinger filed charges of rape and physical abuse against an incumbent President, in this case it was George W. Bush. Schoedinger did this in December 2002, and this is a matter of public record.

Pianim struck up a highly controversial partnership with President Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwean regime. In which both sides stood to make millions selling precious tropical hard woods plundered from the rain forest in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

An Observer investigation had established that a firm run by Pianim from London had links with Mugabe and his ZANU-PF party. It had long been suspected that Mugabe had profited from ventures with UK-based businesses, but this is the first time hard evidence has emerged.
