Podcasts about Botswana

In this week's episode, JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates share their thoughts and observations from the 2025 JCK Show. The hosts discuss the overall mood (upbeat), style trends (bold gold!), and their favorite highlights (the people!) from this year's annual event in Vegas. Both always come away learning something new from the education offered. Victoria covers takeaways from a panel on the preowned watch market while Rob offers insights into the diamond industry from President Boko of Botswana, the De Beers breakfast, and the World Federation of Diamond Bourses event which he attended shortly after the show.

Welcome to Episode 109 of The Journey Is The Reward!  We are generally much less offended than our email inbox suggests! This week are thrilled to welcome back the cartographic genius himself, Eric the Mapmaker.But before we dive into Eric's latest adventures, we had to address a burning question from the email account – emphatically named Imreallyoffended@yahoo.com.Then, Listener Mike hit us up with a real puzzler about gifting flight crews, because apparently, Reddit has decided that kindness gets you fired. Who knew?! And speaking of flight decks, Listener Lu drops a fantastic question about single pilot operations and whether we really need two humans up front at all times. We've got thoughts, and we're not afraid to share them.Our main event today is a truly special chat with Eric The Mapmaker. He embarked on a domestic airline odyssey, hitting up a bunch of different cities, and proving that sometimes, the best laid travel plans are the ones you throw out the window halfway through. And as always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.Want to experience that magic in person? Join Brian on an epic group adventure to Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa in late September 2025! Seriously, it's going to be incredible. Reach out to him at Brian@TheJourneyIsTheReward.ORG for all the details. Let's make some memories and genuinely enjoy the Journey, because, well, it really is the Reward!

Dans cet épisode lumineux de Very Belge Trip, on met le cap sur Dakar, la capitale du Sénégal, en compagnie de Valérie, une Belge dont le cœur bat désormais à l'unisson avec cette terre africaine. Ce n'est pas juste une destination qu'elle évoque, mais une véritable transformation personnelle, une renaissance douce et profonde au contact de la culture sénégalaise.Valérie nous raconte, avec émotion et authenticité, ses premières impressions de la ville : l'énergie des rues, la chaleur humaine, les sourires, et ce sentiment d'appartenance qui a grandi en elle. Très vite, Dakar est devenue son port d'attache, un lieu de vie riche de sens et de rencontres.Elle évoque la fameuse teranga, cette hospitalité légendaire du Sénégal, qu'elle vit au quotidien à travers les gestes simples et les liens créés avec les Dakarois. On la suit dans ses habitudes locales, dans un petit resto les pieds dans le sable où l'on déguste du poisson grillé au rythme du vent et des rires, dans les marchés colorés, et jusque dans les ateliers d'artisans où se perpétuent des savoir-faire transmis avec fierté.Mais au-delà des paysages et des saveurs, c'est une histoire profondément humaine que Valérie partage : celle d'un jeune garçon rencontré par hasard et devenu, au fil des années, un fils de cœur. Une relation émouvante, symbole du pouvoir des voyages à créer des liens forts et inattendus.Un épisode vibrant, intime, sensoriel, qui donne envie d'explorer, de s'ancrer, et surtout de s'ouvrir à l'autre.Vous rêvez de voyager à La Réunion, à Bali, en Bolivie, au Portugal, en Finlande, au Congo, en Australie, au Botswana, en Irlande, en Grèce, à Oman, A Berlin en Allemagne ou encore en Italie ? De l'Europe à l'Afrique, en passant par l'Amérique et l'Asie, chaque épisode de Very Belge Trip est une invitation au voyage qui vous transporte sur les différents continents avec des voyageurs belges.

Missionary Letter - Botswana

"The Okavango Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to several indigenous communities, including the Batswana and San people, who have lived in the area for centuries. This piece is comprised of audio fragments of a Botswana chant field recording combined with percussion." Okavango Delta songs reimagined by Scott Lawrence Whitman.

What began as a simple request for a song became an unforgettable moment. Deep in Botswana's Okavango Delta, at Gomoti Plains Camp, I asked the staff if they could sing for a recording. Instead of just one song, they formed a choir and gifted me a spontaneous concert of sheer energy in their native language. Recorded by Christina Antoniadou.

Send us a textEver wondered what it's like to lock eyes with a wild gorilla or swim alongside marine iguanas that snort salt to regulate their bodies? Jessica Kelly takes us behind the scenes of her fascinating career as a wildlife travel journalist and photographer, revealing how an unexpected path led her from psychology studies to documenting life on all seven continents.Jessica's story begins not with journalism school, but with a simple food blog called "It's Pop, Not Soda" that unexpectedly opened doors to food competitions and cookbook collaborations. When COVID claimed her event planning job, she transformed crisis into opportunity, taking over a travel section for a local newspaper focusing on nature-based destinations. The turning point came during a life-changing trip to Botswana during green season, where witnessing mothers with their baby elephants and lionesses hunting together left her forever changed. "It was just incredibly moving," Jessica reflects, "I felt like a different person after that trip."We dive deep into Jessica's most memorable wildlife encounters, from exploring the Galapagos Islands (where she insists everyone must snorkel) to trekking with gorillas in Rwanda and spotting tigers on safari in India. She offers practical wisdom on balancing healthy fear with respect when photographing powerful creatures, selecting ethical tour operators, and the gear she uses to capture her stunning images—from her Sony camera to her strategically chosen mini drone that skirts weight restrictions in many places. What distinguishes Jessica's approach is her authentic passion combined with journalistic persistence. She shares candidly about the less glamorous aspects of travel writing—the constant adaptation required, pitching stories for a year before getting a response, and finding unique angles when everyone on a press trip experiences the same activities. For those following in her footsteps or working with travel media, her advice is invaluable: allow time for organic discovery, lead with timely angles and never lose the excitement that makes each destination special.Follow Jessica's adventures on Instagram at AdventuresAreWaiting as she embarks on upcoming expeditions with National Geographic to Portugal's Azores, Alaska for grizzly bear photography and French Polynesia for her first scuba certification. Her story reminds us that the most rewarding paths are often the unexpected ones.Please take a moment to rate, review and subscribe to the Media in Minutes podcast here or anywhere you get your podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/media-in-minutes/id1555710662

What do charging elephants and frustrated homeschool parents have in common? More than you might think. In this engaging episode of Everyday Educator, Classical Conversations founder Leigh Bortins shares her recent adventure taking a photography course in Botswana with her husband. What started as a vacation quickly became a masterclass in learning dynamics when Leigh realized she naturally learns classically—even when her instructor doesn't teach that way. Through five days of "butting heads" with her teacher while capturing stunning wildlife photos, Leigh discovered profound insights about perseverance, community learning, and why the perfect classroom setup still leads to conflict. This episode offers encouragement for homeschool parents who struggle with difficult learning days, showing that even adult learners face challenges and that giving up is often the default human response. Leigh also introduces the new MathMap Monomials program for Challenge B students. Key Discussion Points: •    Why even "perfect" learning conditions still involve struggle and conflict •    How community support prevents students from giving up •    Why it's the student's responsibility to learn, not the teacher's to educate •    The importance of tailoring instruction to different learning styles •    How cross-training and "breaking things" are essential parts of learning •    Why parents often become the biggest obstacles to their children's learning   This episode of Everyday Educator is sponsored by The Math Map: Monomials The Math Map Monomials helps families practice introductory algebraic computation together using classical skills that prepare students for the mathematical conversation of the ages.

The US and China governments have announced their set to hold trade talks in London on Monday, so has a phone call between the presidents of the World's two largest economies begun the end of their ongoing tariff battle? Elsewhere, we discuss whether the fallout between Donald Trump and Elon Musk will have any dramatic changes to US government's policy, while Andrew Peach speaks to diamond analyst Paul Zimnisky about why the main diamond company in Botswana says it's temporarily halting production. And our correspondent Stephen McDonell reports from China on how the era of the driverless truck may finally have arrived. The latest business and finance news from around the world, on the BBC.

In this episode of The Radio Vagabond, I sit down with Jeri Lynn Johnson Russell – a former Pan Am stewardess whose life took a dramatic turn from the skies to the villages of Africa. Over dinner in Cape Town, Jeri shares how her early travels sparked a lifelong love for adventure, how homeopathy became her calling, and how she built deep connections in the rural communities of Botswana, Eswatini, and Ghana. We talk about the lessons she learned in Africa – about generosity, humility, and the power of community. And we reflect on how, no matter where we come from, we're all guests on this planet – and we're better together. Key Takeaways How Jeri's early travels shaped her fearless curiosity about the world Why homeopathy – an alternative healing system based on “like treats like” – became a cornerstone of her work in Africa The unforgettable story of Olo and the word ‘LOVE' written on a friend's belly How local healers and communities in Africa taught her the real meaning of generosity and resilience Why Jeri believes we're better with all ages, cultures, and ways of living – and how that mindset can change everything Relevant Links Jeri's book “A Bluebird in a Baobab” on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQ61PMRG?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_3RK2Z318GBCCASDYFJH7 National Center for Homeopathy: https://www.homeopathycenter.org/ Blog post with more details and photos: https://theradiovagabond.com/365-jeri-russell Danish version of the blog post: https://radiovagabond.dk/416-jeri-russell The Open Nesters Podcast: https://theopennesters.com Check out the brand new Nomad Summit Podcast on https://nomadsummit.com/podcast You can follow The Radio Vagabond on: https://www.facebook.com/TheRadioVagabond  https://www.youtube.com/theradiovagabond  https://twitter.com/radiovagabond https://www.tiktok.com/@radiovagabond

I denne episode af Radiovagabond har jeg en inspirerende samtale med Jeri Lynn Johnson Russell – en tidligere Pan Am-stewardesse, der forlod jetsettet for at arbejde med helbredelse i Afrikas landsbyer. Over en middag i Cape Town taler vi om, hvordan hendes tidlige rejser tændte en gnist af eventyrlyst, hvordan homøopati blev hendes kald, og hvordan hun opbyggede dybe forbindelser i landsbyerne i Botswana, Eswatini og Ghana. Vi taler om, hvad hun lærte i Afrika – om generøsitet, ydmyghed og fællesskabets kraft. Og vi reflekterer over, hvordan vi – uanset hvor vi kommer fra – alle er gæster på denne planet, og hvordan vi er bedre sammen. Vigtige pointer Hvordan Jeris tidlige rejser formede hendes nysgerrighed og mod Hvorfor homøopati blev hjørnestenen i hendes arbejde i Afrika Den uforglemmelige historie om Olo og ordet “LOVE” skrevet på en vens mave Hvordan lokale healere og fællesskaber lærte hende, hvad sand generøsitet og modstandskraft er Hvorfor Jeri tror, vi har brug for hinanden – på tværs af aldre, kulturer og livssyn Relevante links Blog post til denne episode: https://radiovagabond.dk/416-jeri-russell Jeri's book “A Bluebird in a Baobab” on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQ61PMRG?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_3RK2Z318GBCCASDYFJH7 National Center for Homeopathy: https://www.homeopathycenter.org/ The Open Nesters Podcast: https://theopennesters.com Nomad Summit Podcast: https://nomadsummit.com/podcast Du kan følge Radiovagabond på https://www.facebook.com/TheRadioVagabond  https://www.youtube.com/theradiovagabond

In this inspiring episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Mike Keresman—visionary entrepreneur and co-founder of CardinalCommerce, acquired by Visa in 2017. Mike unpacks his journey of scaling multiple billion-dollar ventures, including building the world's largest digital authentication network. From his early dreams of entrepreneurship to holding 70+ patents and launching one of the first mobile top-up systems in Botswana, Mike offers real-world wisdom on resilience, innovation, and quiet leadership. Tune in as he shares why eliminating friction—not just fraud—was key to his success, and how “quietly spectacular” lives can create the most lasting impact.   About the Guest:Mike Keresman is a serial entrepreneur and co-founder of CardinalCommerce, a pioneer in payment authentication technology. Under his leadership, the company expanded to five continents and was acquired by Visa. With over 70 patents and decades of leadership experience, Mike blends technical brilliance with human-first innovation. He's also the author of the upcoming book Quietly Spectacular, which encourages everyday individuals to pursue a meaningful life without the need for spotlight fame.   Key Takeaways: Entrepreneurship is more about people and innovation than flashy risks. Real growth comes from removing friction for customers—not just preventing fraud. A cloud-first, system-agnostic approach helped scale globally without needing merchants to overhaul their systems. Scaling overseas often brings more acceptance than domestic expansion. “Success isn't a straight line—it's a series of learning curves.”   Connect with Mike Keresman:Mike is working on launching a personal website and book (Quietly Spectacular).

Olivia Landau, Co-Founder and CEO of The Clear Cut—the largest digitally native natural diamond jewelry company in the United States—shares how a side hustle selling engagement rings through Instagram DMs transformed into a $100M company. Despite being dismissed by venture capitalists and warned by her family not to become an entrepreneur, Olivia Landau chose to bet on herself. Alongside her then-boyfriend (now husband and co-founder), Kyle, she took a leap of faith, walking away from the safe path and rejecting startup “best practices” that didn't feel aligned. Instead of following the noise, she doubled down on what felt right: human connection, deep education, craftsmanship, and building slow and intentionally. Her voice is a powerful reminder of what can happen when you block out the noise, trust your gut, and build your way—even when everyone says you're doing it wrong.   Key Takeaways and Topics: How The Clear Cut started as an educational blog and Instagram side hustle Olivia's generational roots in the diamond industry and how that shaped her approach The myths around lab-grown vs. natural diamonds—and why she refuses to sell lab-created stones Fundraising rejection: Why no VCs would invest and how they raised $700K from angels and customers instead The Clear Cut's breakthrough moment during the pandemic and how their custom-built tech scaled the business Why “unscalable” things are worth doing first The emotional toll and impostor syndrome that come with fundraising and startup leadership How Olivia navigates being a new mom, co-founder, and CEO Debunking ethical misconceptions about natural diamonds—and why the real story matters Why having a personal brand and showing your face on social media can be a competitive advantage Her advice to aspiring founders: Don't wait for perfection, just take the first step   Disclaimer: Olivia shares her view that natural diamonds can be more ethical than lab-grown alternatives. This is a nuanced topic; what is “ethical” depends on your values. Natural diamonds may support economies like Botswana's, while lab-grown stones produced with renewable energy may appeal to those prioritizing environmental impact. Some stats shared from memory have been clarified: Diamonds make up 25–30% of Botswana's GDP, not 80% as mentioned (that figure refers to exports). Diamond revenues fund free primary education, subsidized secondary education, and universal healthcare in Botswana. While “stipends” aren't standard, the government provides scholarships and financial support to students and select groups. We've included these clarifications to support informed decision-making.   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

God's call on Connie Czepiel's life began as a teenager when the Lord began to break her heart for people suffering in other countries. With a passion for the medical field, Connie joined the Air Force, but God (and the military) had other plans. Connie was educated in finance - something she never anticipated. After a divorce, and as a single mother of three, Connie acquired work as a contracted finance manager, and it took her around the world. She could have chosen to wallow in hurt and bitterness. Instead, Connie decided to put her eyes on Jesus.Today, at 76, Connie is an author in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina. She has plenty of stories to draw from as her humanitarian work has taken her to Madagascar, Vietnam, New Guinea, Nepal, Liberia and many more. She served with the Peace Corps in Botswana, and she's worked for organizations such as MAF, Mercy Ships, and Samaritan's Purse. Needless to say, this is an episode of adventure and encouragement. Connie wants you to know this: it's never to late to pursue your dreams.Listen in and be encouraged.Connie's written four books. We encourage you to check them out on Amazon.Connie is available for interviews, workshops, and speaking engagements. To connect with her: kommertje2012@gmail.com

The economic fortunes of the Southern Africa country of Botswana were transformed back in the mid 1960's when shortly after gaining independence from Britain, its first diamond mine was discovered. A partnership with the world's biggest diamond firm DeBeers ensured Botswana's diamonds gained global attention and with some of the world's biggest diamonds been mined in the country, it now ranks just below Russia in terms of its importance in the industry. But post pandemic, the global market has seen a shift in demand for mined diamonds, with consumers in countries like China, who accounted for around thirty percent of global demand, falling away. Another reason for this shift is the emerging popularity of lab grown diamonds. Originally used in industrial machinery, lab diamonds are now been refined for the jewellery market at a fraction of the price of mined diamonds, with the majority of consumer interest coming from the United States. Botswana has been trying to ride this wave with a policy of diversification, to allow it to generate more export revenue. But its new Government, who have only been in power since October last year, are dealing with a large budget deficit not helped by the low level of diamond revenues. It faces a hard task in trying to revive demand for mined diamonds across the global market. So, on this week's Inquiry, we're asking ‘Are diamonds forever in Botswana?'

First people communities are the early groups of hunter gatherers, herders, and the oldest human lineages of Africa, some migrating from as far as East Africa to settle across southern Africa, in countries like Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. In First People: The Lost History of the Khoisan, archaeologist Andrew Smith, who has excavated at some of the richest prehistoric heritage sites across Africa and has a career spanning 50 years, examines what we know about southern Africa's early people, drawing on evidence from archaeological sites, rock art, the observations of colonial-era travellers, linguistics, study of the human genome, and the latest academic research. Full of illustrations, First People is an invaluable and accessible work that reaches from the Stone Age and travels through time to the most recent history of the Khoisan. Smith, who has studied the history and prehistory of the Khoisan throughout his long and distinguished career, paints a knowledgeable and fascinating portrait of their land occupation, migration, survival, culture, and practices.

On Episode 107 of The Journey Is The Reward, we once again get to talk with Momma Coleman, thanks to the limo services provided by Chef Kathy.   Sure, it doesn't sound right at this point but it will make sense as you listen to the episode.   But before we get to the main event, Listener Matt has a follow-on question to my packing skills.Listener Lu wants to know about the $100 hamburger, as it relates to flight.  Although calling it a $300 hamburger is probably more accurate these days.Then it's time for the main segment, Brian's trip to NJ to surprise Momma Coleman on her 90th birthday and Mother's Day.Yes, Momma Coleman had done a reverse commute from living in Florida and returned to her birth state to be closer to her oldest son.  Brian decided he couldn't stay away and had to help her unpack.Chef Kathy was there to help… and provide an incredible 90th Birthday carrot cake.We then get to learn all about Brian's 9 hour delay getting back home to Los Angeles.   However, as far as delays go, this one worked out OK for our intrepid traveler.As always, we're serenaded by the soul-stirring sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs were recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia and are pure magic. Experience this musical magic in person and join Brian on an epic group adventure to Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa in late September 2025!

Welcome to the thirty-second episode of the Zoology Ramblings Podcast!The podcast has a new intro tune, a big thank you and credits to the very talented Al Middleton for the epic jingle. In this episode, Emma and Robi share news about their recent travels. Emma shares the nature highlights from her recent trip to North America and Robi shares his relaxing time in the Botswanan bush. Emma and Robi's animals of the week range from the very fluffy (Sea otter) to the very "sexy" (Onager). We then get into our first rewilding deep dive outside the British Isles exploring Project Cheetah in India. An intricate discussion into the decline of the Asiatic cheetah and the complexities of their highly political reintroduction. Robi and Emma delve into how Southeastern cheetahs from South Africa and Namibia are being used as a proxy to the lost Asiatic cheetahs. Some deem this project a failure but Emma and Robi draw out some of its successes. Robi ends with a tribute to Vincent Van Der Merwe, an inspirational South African conservationist, scientist, and National Geographic Explorer. Vincent was known for his role in cheetah conservation and reintroduction projects in Africa and Asia.

C'est l'histoire d'un passionné qui a réalisé son rêve d'enfant.En voyageant avec ses parents, Alexis Fourneau a eu la chance de découvrir l'Afrique et la faune sauvage dès l'âge de 5 ans. Enfant et adolescent, il y passait les vacances avec ses parents, son père photographe naturaliste et sa mère passionnée d'Afrique.De retour en France pour poursuivre sa scolarité puis des études de paysagiste, l'Afrique lui manque. A 22 ans quitte tout pour s'installer au Botswana et devenir guide professionnel au cœur des réserves animalières.Aujourd'hui, a 33 ans, il est le seul Français à avoir le diplôme de guide délivré par l'Etat et part 30 fois par an en expédition avec des touristes dans ce paradis ultra-sauvage où vivent presque la moitié des éléphants du continent africain

Banyana Banyana-afrigter Desiree Ellis sê sy is teleurgesteld met hulle vertoning teen Botswana in hul eerste wedstryd van die drienasies-reeks op die Lucas Moripe-stadion in Pretoria. Doele deur Adrielle Mibe en Jermaine Seoposenwe, wat twee bygedra het, het tot Suid-Afrika se 3-2-sege teen Botswana gelei. Banyana Banyana kom Dinsdag op dieselfde stadion teen Zambië te staan. Ellis erken daar is ruimte vir verbetering voor die Vroue-Afrikanasiesbeker in Julie teen Marokko:

C'est un classement établi par Jeune Afrique. Un classement qui « met en lumière les pays qui ont pris une longueur d'avance sur le continent dans trois domaines clés : la gouvernance, l'innovation et l'influence. »Pas de surprise, c'est l'Afrique du Sud qui est en tête. « De fait, explique Jeune Afrique, l'Afrique du Sud jouit d'une aura singulière. Sa diplomatie n'a pas d'équivalent sur le continent et son appartenance aux Brics, ainsi qu'au G20 – institution qu'elle préside cette année –, lui confère une place de leader. (…) La nation Arc-en-ciel reste, de loin, la première puissance industrielle d'Afrique, parfois dans des secteurs à forte valeur ajoutée comme l'automobile ou la chimie. Son économie est aussi portée par la richesse de son sous-sol (or, platine, charbon, etc.). Elle possède des infrastructures de classe mondiale, ce qui en fait une destination privilégiée par les investisseurs. (…) Le seul domaine dans lequel l'Afrique du Sud fait un peu moins bien qu'une dizaine d'autres pays du continent est la gouvernance. »Égypte et Maroc sur le podiumLa suite du classement des 20 pays les plus performants du continent, toujours selon Jeune Afrique : « l'Égypte et le Maroc viennent compléter le podium. (…) Les deux États d'Afrique du Nord se tiennent dans un mouchoir de poche. La croissance de l'économie égyptienne est portée par le secteur du bâtiment, tandis que le canal de Suez reste une source de revenus et d'influence non négligeable. »Quant au Maroc, « il est devenu un hub commercial, logistique et financier, notamment avec le port de Tanger Med, l'un des plus grands d'Afrique et de la Méditerranée. (…) La suite du classement, de la 4e à la 9e place, est d'abord occupée par le Botswana et le Kenya, puis, un peu plus loin, avec des résultats très serrés, par Maurice, l'Éthiopie, la Tanzanie et le Nigeria. Enfin, un trio francophone occupe les places suivantes : 10ᵉ, la Côte d'Ivoire ; 12ᵉ, la Tunisie ; 13e, le Sénégal. »La Côte d'Ivoire : laboratoire de la nouvelle doctrine économique américaine…La Côte d'Ivoire est donc le pays francophone d'Afrique de l'Ouest le mieux placé dans ce classement. Et ça n'est sans doute pas un hasard si les États-Unis ont annoncé récemment des investissements records dans ce pays. Le Monde Afrique précise : « des investissements essentiellement dans l'industrie pétrolière et minière, pour un total de presque 7 milliards de dollars. Les plus importants portent sur la construction d'une nouvelle raffinerie et l'exploitation de deux blocs pétroliers off-shore. Des projets dans la droite ligne du “drill, baby, drill“ (“creuse, bébé, creuse“) prôné par Donald Trump et qui contentent la Côte d'Ivoire. Abidjan souhaite (en effet) diversifier son économie, qui repose historiquement sur l'agriculture, en développant ses industries extractives et minières. »En fait, résume Le Monde Afrique, « en Côte d'Ivoire, les États-Unis de Trump mettent en œuvre leur nouvelle doctrine : “le commerce, pas l'aide“. » Avec un « discours de promotion économique débarrassé de toute pression diplomatique et qui est accueilli chaleureusement par les autorités ivoiriennes. “La nouvelle politique américaine en Côte d'Ivoire, qui ne s'occupe plus de défendre les droits des LGBT, qui ne pose plus de questions de politique intérieure, et qui a coupé les aides au financement des élections, trouve un certain écho auprès des dirigeants“, analyse un diplomate en poste à Abidjan. Et, estime Le Monde Afrique, pourrait même séduire une partie de la jeunesse dans une Afrique francophone où la souveraineté est brandie comme le nouvel étendard. »Un nouveau patron pour la Banque africaine de développementEnfin économie toujours avec cette question posée par Le Point Afrique : « qui pour succéder au nigérian Akinwumi Adesina ? » Le patron de la BAD, la Banque africaine de développement, arrive au terme de son second mandat. On connaitra demain le nom de son successeur. « Cinq candidats s'affrontent pour diriger la plus puissante banque de développement en Afrique, dans un contexte marqué par le désengagement financier de certains partenaires occidentaux […]. »Résultat, relève Le Point Afrique, « tous les candidats s'accordent sur un objectif : mobiliser davantage de capitaux en provenance du privé. Mais le prétendant consacré devra certainement orienter son regard plus à l'est. Début mai, l'administration Trump annonçait retirer sa contribution de 555 millions de dollars au Fonds africain de développement de la BAD. Ce coup dur porté au guichet concessionnel de l'institution ne fait que confirmer la quête de nouveaux financements que devra entreprendre la nouvelle présidence. »

This is episode 223, the calliper and the lens Gustav Fritsch in the southern Light. A very quick thank you to Professor Johan Fourie at Stellenbosch Department of Economics who invited me to be part of a workshop about improving the visibility of economic history. What an amazing experience. This episode of our series is following on from 1863, into 1864, where the movement of people became as demographic phenomenon — driven by economics and innovations. Let's swing our attention to Robben Island, it's a warm morning in November 1863 and a bearded German arrived armed with various photographic apparatus and guns, he was on an expedition. German tourists can be found on Robben Island these days, but they don't carry guns and their cameras are Canons. Gustav Fritsch had arrived with many other accoutrements - because he was on a scientific mission. He was an anthropologist, and part of a curious genre now largely forgotten — the “racial type” photographer — men who believed the camera could capture the science of human difference, stamping evolution's hierarchy onto paper. In their lens, the body became data. A century and a half later, modern influencers use images to shape a kind of social order — their self-curated faces, botox-bright and algorithm-approved offer a new kind of taxonomy, no less performative, and perhaps no less pseudoscientific. So as our friend Gustav Fritsch set up his apparatus and guns, there on the windy but warm Robben Island of November 1863, he became part of what would be the field of criminology and .. eugenics. In this period, the use of photography was part of a privileged administrative practice, part of medical anatomy, anthropology, psychiatry, part of the professionalised emerging social sciences, tying in public health, urban planning, sanitation. It was at this point that the two divergencies in the science began to take shape, one was honorific, honouring the differences, noting the diversity, exciting the senses with these truly stunning pictures of South Africans in 1863, versus the other, the repressive, the oppressive. Stamping people with their racial characteristics. Unlike today, each picture took at least 20 seconds to complete. Imagine asking your contemporary subject to sit dead still for 20 seconds while you point your iPhone at their noggin. 20 seconds is longer than an entire TikTok video that explains the meaning of life. But there is not doubt, that the most remarkable thing about Fritsch's photos were the diversity. He photographed many chiefs and their families, capturing African nobility at the time. His image of amaThemba chief Stokwe ka-Ndlela is slightly blurred, Stokwe refused to sit still. Other images of the incarcerated on Robben Island are historic, folkloric and well, just stunning. These include Xoxo on of Ngqika, brother of Sandile, Siyolo kaMdushane, one of the Gcaleka chiefs, Dilima, son of Phato of the Gqunukhwebe. This strange German was doing South African history a favour, recording the regal faces of amaXhosa royalty for posterity. After Robben Island, Gustav Fritsch and his apparatus rolled along in an oxwagon to Cathcart in the eastern Cape where he took more photos of Anta kaNgqika the 3rd paramount chief of the amaRharhabe, whereupon Fritsch continued to Stutterheim, where he set up his stool and massive tripod and took remarkable photos of Sandile kaNgqika.Not satisfied, this 19th century paparazzi, this collector of images set off northwards to Bechuanaland. He photographed Bakwena chief Sechele I a Motswasele or "Rra Mokonopi" as well as his son Sibelo. Bamagwatho chief Kama was next, grand old man of Botswana. The ancestor of the famous Khama family of the twentieth century. And while Gustav Fritsch wandered the veld with his camera and his paraphernalia, convinced he was capturing some scientific truth, the people he encountered were being absorbed into a global archive — not as individuals, but as specimens, artefacts.
