In this episode, Julia speaks with Mona about how education — formal, informal, cultural, and familial — quietly shapes the way we lead, often without us realising it.Together, they reflect on moments in their own leading where habits, preferences, and blind spots can be traced directly back to how they were educated — what was rewarded, what was discouraged, and what was never questioned. From structure and organisation to evidence, empowerment, and questioning authority, education sits deep in our Essence.The conversation explores how early learning can both strengthen and limit us. Julia and Mona talk candidly about prejudice versus judgement, the impact of failure, and the importance of learning, unlearning, and relearning as we grow. They reflect on how questioning — something encouraged in some educations and punished in others — becomes central to trust, confidence, and psychological safety in teams.Mona also shares how empathy and grace play a crucial role in leading across difference — recognising that people come with different capacities, experiences, and confidence, and that equality does not mean sameness.This episode is a reminder that leading is shaped long before our first job title — and that the work of leading well often begins with understanding, and questioning, the education that formed us.About the Guest: Mona-Lisa Danieli Mungure is an Attorney in the High Courts of Botswana and the Regional Head of a division in one of Botswana's government Ministries. Additionally, she plays a strategic role in Botswana's human rights discourse where she has served and continues to serve as a national consultant and national legal team coordinator on different occasions. She has experience in various aspects of civil law and she has worked in pluralistic environments including private practice, the public sector and civil society organizations. She is the Executive Director of an award winning initiative called Molao Matters which sits on various regional and national networks to push for women's rights holistically. Molao Matters also provides pro bono services to marginalized women and advances feminist approaches in civic governance and development spaces. Mona-Lisa is also a certified Data Protection Officer and a firm advocate for just practices in data management ecosystems.
Residents and students learn from others about original motivation, long-haul stamina, pearls and pitfalls of living in community, debt, vision for one’s next step to the nations, and helping the needy now tensioned with investing in education to help others later.
Send a textTwo country boys hit Atlanta for the Dallas Safari Club Expo and come home with a year's worth of stories, hard-won tips, and new friends from across the hunting world. We start with a chaotic travel day—dead battery on the plane, a tarmac standoff, and a near-miss at a crosswalk—then step into the Georgia World Congress Center and realize just how big DSC really is. With more than 1,300 booths and outfitters from over 43 countries, it's a living map of global hunting, conservation, and gear innovation.We meet TV icons Ralph and Vicki from Archer's Choice, shake hands with Mr. Whitetail himself, Larry Weishuhn, and connect with DSC leadership on why the show's funding model matters: grants for habitat, education, and anti-poaching. A South African outfitter lays out Botswana's elephant math—land that can carry around 75,000 elephants now holds more than 150,000—making a clear case for science-based management. On the North American front, an Alaskan captain opens our eyes to a sleeper DIY blacktail hunt in the panhandle with accessible tags and high densities.Seminars deliver real field value. Dan Adler's glassing masterclass shows how scanning right to left slows your brain and helps you catch the small, wrong-shaped details that give animals away. We get a primer on long-range thinking, then pivot to Craig Boddington's Cape buffalo insights—angles, bullets, and the look that says you “owe it money.” The floor itself is a wonder: jaw-dropping taxidermy, museum-quality replicas for restricted imports, premium optics, Kenetrek boots, Holland & Holland and Rigby, and a $238,000 double in .700 Nitro that we admired more than we dared handle. Add Ox Ranch's tanks and machine guns, plus the history and scale of King Ranch, and the spectrum from tradition to adrenaline comes into focus.The curveball? A late-night wander through a locked-down film set where Tulsa King shoots under cranes and fog. We watch the same scene run a dozen times, then a blacked-out van glides by with the cabin light on and Sylvester Stallone five feet away—scrolling, smoking, and still larger than life. We leave with future podcast guests booked, better glassing habits, and new perspective on how conservation, community, and adventure intersect.If you enjoyed this story-packed ride, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a quick rating or review—your support helps us bring more experts and epic hunts to your feed.Check us out on Facebook Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

Le géant du diamant De Beers vient de confirmer ses pertes financières pour 2025. Anglo American, sa maison mère, annonce sans surprise avoir baissé de moitié la valeur comptable de sa filiale. De Beers ne vaut aujourd'hui plus que 2,3 milliards de dollars. Les pertes de De Beers ont été impressionnantes l'année dernière, elles ont atteint 511 millions de dollars – contre 25 millions de dollars en 2024 –, ce qui fait près de 1,5 million de dollars par jour. Ces pertes expliquent cette troisième dépréciation consécutive, qui intervient dans un contexte très particulier : De Beers est à vendre et sa maison mère, Anglo American, espère trouver un acquéreur d'ici la fin de l'année. Cette baisse de la valeur du géant minier joue en faveur des repreneurs et pourrait les inciter à formuler des offres sous la barre des deux milliards de dollars. À ce stade, plusieurs acteurs jugés « très crédibles » sont entrés en négociations avancées aux côtés du Botswana, de l'Angola et de la Namibie, trois États cités par Duncan Wanblad, le directeur général d'Anglo American. À lire aussiPlusieurs États africains intéressés par la reprise du géant du diamant De Beers Une crise qui dure La chute de De Beers est la conséquence d'une crise qui n'arrive pas à se résorber depuis 2023 et qui se répercute sur les finances des groupes miniers. « Tout le monde saigne », résume un industriel, car aux prix actuels, tous ceux qui doivent investir n'arrivent plus à générer de profit. C'est notamment le cas au Botswana, où la mine principale de diamant – Jwaneng – a besoin d'investissements évalués entre 8 et 10 milliards de dollars pour s'agrandir, sous terre. Les résultats de De Beers sont à mettre en lien avec la baisse de 12 % de l'indice moyen des prix en 2025, selon De Beers, et avec l'excédent de diamants bruts disponibles par rapport à la demande. Si le secteur haut de gamme et le marché américain sont toujours porteurs, le commerce des pierres naturelles est toujours sous pression : les ventes de bagues en diamant synthétique représentent désormais environ 60 % des ventes aux États-Unis. L'introduction en 2025 de droits de douane états-uniens sur les importations indiennes a contribué à la déprime du marché, l'Inde étant le pays où sont taillés 90 % des diamants bruts. L'Angola contribue à faire baisser les prix Un pays n'aide pas à faire remonter les prix du diamant, il s'agit de l'Angola, le troisième producteur. La production angolaise ne cesse d'augmenter. Après une année record l'année dernière – production de 14 millions de carats –, le pays annonce un objectif de plus de 17 millions de carats d'ici l'année prochaine, un niveau qui se rapproche de plus en plus de la production de De Beers – 21 millions de carats en 2025. L'Angola a des mines à ciel ouvert qui demandent moins d'investissements que les mines souterraines, ce qui autorise le pays à produire plus et à vendre à des prix extrêmement bas. Ces prix angolais ont créé un climat baissier et ont indirectement aussi fait chuter la valeur de De Beers. Ce qui pourrait, en retour, profiter à l'Angola, un des candidats déclarés au rachat de De Beers. À lire aussiLe secteur du diamant s'unit pour redorer l'image des pierres naturelles
Have you longed to integrate your Christian faith into your patient care—on the mission field abroad, in your work in the US, and during your training? Are you not sure how to do this in a caring, ethical, sensitive, and relevant manner? This “working” session will explore the ethical basis for spiritual care and provide you with professional, timely, and proven practical methods to care for the whole person in the clinical setting. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qpah9kh1lttg6cm1jjop9/Bob-Mason-Ethics-of-Spiritual-Care-revised.pptx?rlkey=0emve2ja8282nv8xc4uinq1hg&st=9033htwx&dl=0
Oproepe dat die publiek oor die weermag se ontplooiing in woonbuurtes opgevoed word om wanindrukke en wantroue aan te spreek. Vrese dat bek-en-klouseer ook in Botswana voorkom. Die Amerikaanse ambassadeur maak sy opwagting, terwyl Suid-Afrika steeds sloer met sy ambassadeur na die VSA.
Bij Mariola Goossens ontstond het besef dat ze iets wilde betekenen voor de wereld al heel vroeg. Zij was veertien toen ze naar Botswana reisde, op bezoek bij oude buren die waren verhuisd om daar in het onderwijs te werken. Ze zag hoe relatief haar vanzelfsprekendheden waren en realiseerde zich dat zij zelf een rol te spelen had. Dat werd door een werkzaam leven bij Defensie. Televisieseries als M*A*S*H* en Tour of Duty lieten haar zien dat militair zijn niet alleen over wapens gaat, maar voornamelijk over contact met mensen en werken aan een veilige toekomst. In deze aflevering vertelt Mariola onder meer over haar uitzending naar Afghanistan, haar huidige werk en haar drang om de wereld een stukje beter te maken.
Africa Highlights and Travel Lessons: Egypt Challenges, Gorilla Trekking, Vic Falls, and Cape TownTyler hosts Non Rev Lounge in Austin with returning guest Melissa and her husband Jay, longtime friends who first met Tyler on a Southwest flight and later traveled together to Hawaii. They discuss Melissa and Jay's multi-week Africa trip planned around Jay's 50th birthday, including missing Tyler's family by a few hours in South Africa due to itinerary timing. The conversation covers a difficult, budget-style stop in Egypt (Cairo) with a non-English-speaking driver, getting lost en route to the pyramids, frequent requests for money from vendors and even a police officer, confusion around museum pickup logistics, being taken to an underwhelming “bazaar,” disappointment about a cheaper-than-expected dinner cruise, and an unpleasant hotel dining payment incident; they conclude Egypt is better done via a prepaid guided tour or river cruise. They then describe traveling through Rwanda and Uganda, visiting the Kigali Genocide Museum (highly emotional and impactful, leading them to skip the planned city tour) and completing a gorilla trek in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest They also recount activities around Victoria Falls such as the Devil's Pool experience on the Zambia side (swimming across, proximity to hippos/crocodiles, and fish nibbling feet), plus zip lining, lion walking (with safety rules and notes about controversy and the operator's reluctance), rafting, and a Botswana safari near Chobe National Park and the Chobe River with many elephants. They touch on flights and logistics—using miles for British Airways into Egypt, buying some intra-Africa flights for reliability (including Ethiopian and Kenya), concerns about weight-restricted flights returning to the U.S. (ultimately flying United to Newark and onward), using candy as a thank-you (sometimes refused as a “bribe”), and doing laundry via sink washing and local services. 00:00 Welcome to NonRev Lounge + Introducing Melissa & Jay01:56 How Tyler & Melissa Met: The Southwest Flight That Started It All02:53 Buddy Passes, Hawaii Trips, and Travel Style Differences04:59 Back to Austin: Texas Weather Whiplash & Catching Up06:07 Why Africa?

In this moving episode of Tendrils of Grief, I sit down with Barry Hoffner, a widower whose life changed forever after his wife was tragically killed in a sudden accident while they were traveling in Botswana. In the wake of devastating loss, Barry made an extraordinary decision: to honor his wife by visiting every country in the world. What began as heartbreak became a journey of purpose, connection, and healing. Barry shares openly about sudden loss, trauma, widowhood, and what it means to carry love forward instead of leaving it behind. We talk about grief as transformation, continuing bonds after death, and how meaning can emerge even from unimaginable pain. This episode is a powerful reminder that love doesn't end—and that even after tragedy, life can still hold purpose, courage, and connection.

AgriSA se uitvoerende hoof, Johann Kotzé, sê die huidige bek-en-klouseer-uitbreking is 'n ernstige bedreiging vir biosekerheid en plaas boere onder finansiële druk. Hy verwelkom die rampverklaring, maar beklemtoon die sentralisering van entstowwe moet doeltreffende optrede meebring. Kotzé het dringende korttermynmaatreëls uiteengesit, insluitend om entstowwe uit Argentinië, Turkye en Botswana in te voer, privaat veeartse te betrek en nasionale inenting te belyn ten einde die uitbreking te beperk en vee in alle provinsies te beskerm:
Gemengde reaksies volg op voormalige Botswana-president Mokgweetsi Masisi wat om verskoning gevra het vir die moord op die Nchindo-broers en hul neef op die Chobe-rivier in 2020 deur lede van die Botswana weermag. Geaffekteerde gemeenskappe sê die gebaar slaag nie en doen 'n beroep op dringende gesprekke tussen Namibië en Botswana oor beweerde "skiet-om-te-dood"-voorvalle langs die gemeenskaplike grens in die Zambezi-streek. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met politieke ontleder Ndumba Kamwanyah gepraat wat sê die tyd het aangebreek vir beide regerings om gesamentlik met grensgemeenskappe te skakel en hul bekommernisse direk aan te spreek.
Die landbouministerie het 'n multisektorale vergadering oor bek-en-klouseer-voorbereiding en reaksie gehou in die hoofstad. Verskeie partye van die landbou sektor het deelgeneem aan die gesprekke. Suid Afrika het Donderdag as 'n nasionale ramp verklaar. Tydens die vergadering het die adjunk-uitvoerende direkteur van die landboudepartement, Kingsley Kwenani, weereens uitgelig wat 'n verwoestende effek bek-en-klouseer op Namibië sal hê as dit oor die grens met Botswana en Suid-Afrika sal versprei.
Weens bek-en-klouseer in naburige Suid-Afrika en Botswana, wat 'n risiko vir Namibië inhou, bly die land se jaggemeenskap op hoë gereedheidsgrondslag. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Hannes du Plessis, die president van die Namibiese Professionele Jagvereniging, Napha, gepraat, wat sê daar is geen direkte risiko vir jagters nie. Hy het hulle egter aangespoor om streng by die veiligheidsmaatreëls wat deur die regering uiteengesit is, te hou.
Die Lewendehawe- en Lewendehawe-produkteraad doen 'n beroep op Namibiërs, besoekers en toeriste om streng te voldoen aan die voorskrifte van die Direktoraat Veeartsenykundige Dienste by alle toegangspunte om die verspreiding van bek-en-klouseer in die land te voorkom. Die siekte is tans aktief in naburige Suid-Afrika en Botswana. Die raad se waarnemende uitvoerende hoof, Goliath Tujendapi, het vanoggend tydens 'n belanghebbendeskonsultasie in Windhoek beklemtoon dat volle nakoming van kritieke belang is om die veebedryf te beskerm.
澳洲被譽為「幸運之國」（Lucky Country），藉豐饒天然資源與農業產出，維持高社會發展水平。然而，哈佛大學研究指澳洲經濟複雜指數（Economic Complexity Index, ECI）排名已跌至第 105 位，甚至低於部分發展中國家；在發達經濟體中，很少有經濟結構走向單一化，澳洲就是孤例。經濟複雜性的定義與量度經濟複雜性，不僅是多樣性的展現，更涉及知識的專門性。根據計算原理，一個經濟體的價值取決於其出口產品的知識密集度與「專門性」（Ubiquity）。例如，高技術國家出口的產品往往具有極高的技術門檻，令其他國家難以模仿。反觀澳洲，其出口結構以礦產與農產品為核心，這些產出在國際市場上雖具規模，但技術門檻相對較低且產品差異性不足，容易受國際價格週期波動影響，缺乏自主定價能力。地理與人才流失的雙重挑戰澳洲的地理位置雖使其在亞太區自成一角，但也造成了人才流動的單向性。許多具備高創新能力的澳洲企業（如獨角獸公司或影視人才）在成功後，往往選擇將總部遷往美國或歐洲市場，以追求更深的資本市場與客戶群。這種現象導致澳洲本地難以留住高技術人才，無法形成如台灣新竹科學園區那樣完整的產業鏈網絡。工業轉型與青黃不接澳洲製造業的衰退在 2016 年汽車工廠全數關閉後達到了轉捩點。隨之而來的是技術人才的斷層：早期培養的電機與機械工程師已步入退休年齡，而年輕一代則轉向門檻較高的軟體工程或 AI 領域。這種「青黃不接」的現狀，使得政府即使有意推動「澳洲未來製造計劃」（Future Made in Australia），也面臨基礎操作人才匱乏、能源成本過高以及自動化轉型緩慢的難題。結論：高中等發展陷阱目前澳洲正陷入一種特殊的發展陷阱：雖然擁有全球領先的最低工資水平與生活品質，但其生產力增長近年已放緩至 0.3% 左右。高昂的企業合規成本（Compliance Cost）與稅收制度，限制了本土中小型工業的擴張意願。許多企業選擇將非核心業務外判至東南亞，而非留在本地研發高複雜度的產品。雖然 AI 資料中心與再生能源被視為重啟工業的契機，但其對電力與水資源的大量需求，以及對高端製造技術的依賴，仍是目前難以跨越的門檻。 This is a public episode.

Those who hope to honor God and advance Jesus' Kingdom face powerful opposition from spiritual, physical, and psychological enemies. Successful launching and long term fruitfulness depends on recognizing and, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, waging war against those enemies.
Landbouminister Inge Zaamwani sê Namibië sal 1,5 miljard Namibiese dollar benodig om voorkomings- en paraatheidsmaatreëls teen bek-en-klouseer te verskerp. Zaamwani het Dinsdag in die parlement gesê die toenemende nabyheid van uitbrekings in Suid-Afrika en Botswana vereis dringende en aggressiewe optrede. Zaamwani het verduidelik dat die bykomende 1,5 miljard dollar nodig is om die land se15 miljard dollar-veesektor te beskerm en toegang tot belangrike uitvoermarkte te verseker. Die kabinet het reeds 'n bykomende 57,5 miljoen dollar vir kritieke bek-en-klouseer maatreëls goedgekeur. Zaamwani het gewaarsku dat enige uitbreking in Namibië onmiddellike handelsbeperkings en langtermyn ekonomiese ontwrigting sal veroorsaak. Van die nuwe maatreëls sluit in:
Tucker Carlson has been making waves with his recent Middle East travels, including a trip to Jordan and an expected visit to Israel, where officials reportedly considered but ultimately rejected denying him entry to avoid diplomatic fallout, according to The Jerusalem Post and HaTzinor reports. In a new video from the region, Carlson highlighted what he described as oppression of Christians in Jerusalem by Israel, contrasting it with greater religious freedom for Christians in Jordan, where he interviewed local Christian leaders who praised Muslim-Christian harmony. He sharply criticized US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee for failing to defend Jerusalem's Christians and ignoring attacks on Palestinian Christians by Israeli settlers.This sparked a public feud, with Huckabee challenging Carlson on X to interview him directly instead of talking about him, and Carlson quickly agreeing, setting up what could be their first face-to-face since the spat began. Israel Hayom and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency note the exchange has deepened rifts in the conservative movement over Israel, antisemitism accusations, and Christian Zionism, with Huckabee questioning if Carlson hides any love for Jews.Earlier this week at the World Government Summit 2026 in Dubai, Carlson clashed heatedly with presidents of Botswana, Sierra Leone, and Zimbabwe in a viral session questioning the retreat of global democracy and selective international justice, as covered by The New Africa Channel. His Tucker Carlson Network continues to thrive with fresh episodes, including one with Rep. Tim Burchett on UFO secrecy and congressional insider trading, fueling debates on government trust. He's also on a national media tour featuring guests like Russell Brand and Marjorie Taylor Greene, while fundraising expands his subscription platform.Reactions split along ideological lines: conservatives hail him as a counter to mainstream media, while critics like Laura Loomer accuse him of pro-Islamic bias, and figures like Ted Cruz face his challenges on Israel support. These moves underscore Carlson's growing sway in right-wing politics amid ongoing ventures post-Fox News.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast—please subscribe for more updates.

Following a months-long delay, the US recently renewed the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) - a key trade deal between Washington and dozens of African countries that was first enacted in 2000. AGOA enables African countries to export select goods to the US duty free. While previous US administations renewed the deal for periods of upto 10 years, President Trump's government has offered to extend it for just one year.

Oudpresident van Botswana, Mokgweetsi Masisi, het Namibië geprys vir die skep van 'n robuuste Grondwet wat vryhede waarborg en ontwikkeling bevorder, 35 jaar na die aanvaarding daarvan. Masisi het vanoggend tydens 'n boekbekendstelling in Windhoek gesê dat hoewel Namibië en Botswana se grondwette onder verskillende omstandighede gevorm is, hulle duidelike ooreenkomste deel.
Tucker Carlson has been highly active on the international stage, headlining at the World Government Summit in Dubai earlier this week. India Today reports he joined hosts Geeta Mohan and Marya Shakil to discuss the transformation of global media, praising Russian President Vladimir Putin's leadership in building a cohesive multiracial society and expressing admiration for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as an impressive historical figure he hopes to interview soon. He criticized U.S. sanctions on Russia as absurd, pushing the country toward China and India, and highlighted risks of AI-driven propaganda while advocating engagement with Russia.At the same summit, DWS News covered Carlson clashing in a debate with the presidents of Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Sierra Leone on China's growing influence in Africa, U.S. foreign policy missteps, and Europe's declining role, positioning the next decade as potentially African-led.Back home, JTA reveals a brewing showdown as U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, a former Fox colleague and evangelical Trump ally, agreed to an interview on Carlson's show after Carlson's recent video from Israel and Jordan accused him of ignoring Christian oppression there. Filmed amid raids on Christian sites and strikes in Gaza, the report urges American Christians to rethink Israel support, spotlighting Huckabee as a Christian Zionist failing Jerusalem's faithful. This feud underscores fractures in the conservative movement over antisemitism and Israel, with figures like Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Shapiro urging distance from Carlson, though he retains ties to Trump, JD Vance, and groups like Turning Point USA.On his Tucker Carlson Network, Podbean notes fresh episodes including one with Rep. Tim Burchett on UFO secrecy, congressional insider trading, and institutional distrust, fueling his subscription platform's growth through fundraising and patriotic investments. He's also launched a 16-day national media tour with guests like Russell Brand, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, Kid Rock, Alex Jones, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Donald Trump Jr., building his post-Fox empire amid debates on his pro-Islamic bias accusations from Laura Loomer.NPR discusses a new book, Hated By All The Right People by Jason Zengerle, exploring Carlson's far-right influence. Meanwhile, he's ditched Zyn nicotine pouches for his own Alp brand after claiming they funded Kamala Harris.These moves amplify Carlson's sway in media and politics, challenging establishment narratives while deepening divides.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast—please subscribe for more updates.

The Nama people of Botswana are a small Indigenous community belonging to the wider Khoekhoe cultural and linguistic group of southern Africa. They live mainly in the southwestern parts of the country, especially around the Kgalagadi region, where their history is closely tied to pastoralism, herding livestock in arid environments. The Nama language, Khoekhoegowab, is known for its distinctive click sounds, though today many Nama also speak Setswana or Afrikaans. Despite their relatively small numbers in Botswana, the Nama have worked to preserve their cultural traditions, oral history, and identity in the face of migration, colonial borders, and modernization. To preserve the Nama language in Botswana, and to communicate in the language of the Nama people, a new online Nama language radio station has been launched in 2026 Nichodimas Cooper tells us more.

Leon Kachelhoffer, the current operator in the NG13 elephant hunting block in northern Botswana joins Robbie to talk about what it's like to operate in this hotspot. This episode was purposefully created so that we can unpack everything that has happened in the NG13 hunting block of Botswana. It has been a block that has made headlines news from 2022 when a big 100 pound elephant was taken there - ever since there has been a lo of anti hunting rhetoric, alongside issues of corruption, and more. We talked to Leon 2 weeks ago to get an idea of what is going on.

Brooklyn/Botswana/Ariège x Paris/Londres/Kingston, à vos marques ! (Rediffusion) Notre 1ère invitée est l'artiste américaine Natalia M. King pour la sortie de son 8ème album Afroblues. Natalia M. King est une chanteuse, compositrice et guitariste américaine qui fusionne blues, jazz, soul et folk. Voix puissante du blues et du jazz modernes, elle captive par ses interprétations émouvantes. En 2025, elle franchit une nouvelle étape avec AfroBlues, un album mêlant pop dansante, afrobeat et sonorités blues. Son premier extrait, «Dumela», rend hommage à son voyage au Botswana, à sa terre rouge et à son peuple, capturant la beauté et la sagesse de ce lieu à travers sa musique. AfroBlues sera une fusion audacieuse des genres, réunissant les rythmes contagieux de l'afrobeat, des éléments de danse électronique et le soupçon de blues qui a défini sa carrière. Ce virage musical représente l'évolution continue de Natalia M. King en tant qu'artiste ne craignant pas d'expérimenter de nouveaux sons et styles. L'album est une exploration du rythme, de l'énergie et de la fusion culturelle, autour des thèmes de l'autonomisation, de la joie et de la résilience qui sont au cœur de l'album. Grâce à sa capacité à mélanger divers éléments musicaux, AfroBlues promet d'être un ajout unique et passionnant à sa discographie. À propos du premier single «Dumela» : Il existe un petit «Royaume-Uni» qui borde l'Afrique du Sud de Nelson Mandela. Une merveilleuse opportunité, par le biais de l'amour, m'y a transportée au printemps 2024 dans le merveilleux pays africain du Botswana. Les paysages, les odeurs et les sons m'ont rappelé des souvenirs oubliés. «Dumela», qui signifie bonjour en setswana (ou tswana), est mon hommage à cette mémoire oubliée et aux belles âmes que j'ai rencontrées là-bas. Je remercie les pluies et la terre rouge qui m'ont inspirée... Dumela Botswana ! Dumela Afrique ! Merci pour votre sagesse et nous nous reverrons. Natalia M. King Titres interprétés au grand studio - Dumela Live RFI - Lost & Everywhere, extrait de l'album - I Love A Woman Live RFI. Line Up : Natalia M.

Puis nous recevons l'artiste britannique ALA.NI pour la sortie de Sunshine Music Lorsque ALA.NI a commencé à écrire Sunshine Music, son troisième album, l'hiver parisien de 2023 battait son plein, avec un froid mordant. Composant sous des couches de couettes dans son appartement de l'Opéra, elle puisait sa chaleur non pas dans son environnement, mais dans les souvenirs du soleil des Caraïbes qu'elle venait de quitter. Ce qui devait être un voyage de deux semaines en décembre 2020 s'est transformé en deux ans et demi entre la Barbade, la Grenade — où ses parents avaient grandi — puis la Jamaïque, un long séjour qui lui a offert un nouveau sentiment d'identité. «Vivre en Jamaïque, c'était la première fois que j'habitais dans un pays à majorité noire», dit-elle. «Les Jamaïcains sont très eux-mêmes, sans s'excuser. J'ai choisi de vivre à Paris, et je me sens plus moi-même, plus expressive et plus à l'aise ici qu'à Londres, et davantage appréciée et reconnue en tant qu'artiste aussi. Mais il y a des microagressions et des microracismes auxquels nous devons faire face chaque jour en tant que personnes de couleur. Quand je suis sortie de cet environnement, je me suis dit : «Merde, c'est ça que je gérais tout ce temps.» J'avançais simplement en acceptant certains comportements négatifs comme un acte de survie mentale.» En Jamaïque, elle a collaboré avec Sly Dunbar, l'un des batteurs légendaires de l'île, le sortant presque de sa retraite pour une session improvisée. Sunshine Music vibre du souvenir de cette chaleur : une tapisserie d'influences mêlant calypso, jazz, bossa nova et le grand répertoire d'après-guerre, le tout tissé par la voix et la sensibilité singulières d'ALA.NI. Tout au long de l'album, des styles familiers sont honorés sans pastiche : la langueur du reggae, le souffle d'un rythme bossa nova, la diction nette du théâtre musical. Titres interprétés au grand studio - Seaweed Live RFI - Tief, extrait de l'album - This is Why Live RFI.

What happens when states experience a rapid increase in resource wealth? This book examines the significant diamond find in eastern Zimbabwe in 2006, possibly the largest in over 100 years, and its influence on the institutional trajectory of the country. In Zimbabwe's Diamond Trade: The State, Resource Politics and Development (Cambridge UP, 2025) Dr. Nathan Munier examines how this rapid increase in resource production shaped the policies available to political actors, providing a fresh understanding of the perpetuation of ZANU-PF rule and the variation in the trajectory of institutions in Zimbabwe compared to other Southern African states. This study places Zimbabwe amongst the overall population of resource-wealthy countries such as Angola, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, especially those that experience a significant increase in production. In doing so, Dr. Munier contributes to the understanding of resource politics, political economy, and comparative African politics. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Bienvenue dans ce supplément du Grand reportage consacré aux peintures rupestres et au cannabis. À l'autre bout du continent, en Afrique australe, sa préhistoire. Encore bien cachées dans la nature, des grottes et des pierres portent les souvenirs des chasseurs cueilleurs. Il s'agit de gravures de peintures rupestres, la datation est imprécise mais on parle de milliers d'années. En 2è partie: le cannabis avec sa culture légale au Maroc, alternative à la production d'herbe, avec Matthias Raynal. Afrique australe : percer les secrets des peintures rupestres En Afrique australe, cachée au cœur de la nature d'aujourd'hui, se trouve la mémoire des chasseurs cueilleurs d'hier. Les plus anciens habitants connus de la région ont laissé derrière eux une multitude de peintures rupestres sur les parois des grottes et les rochers. Des milliers de sites renferment ce patrimoine archéologique : au Zimbabwe, au Botswana, au Lesotho, ou encore en Afrique du Sud. Et on s'interroge sur l'âge, la signification de ces témoignages, et sur le mode de vie de ces sociétés anciennes. Un Grand reportage de Claire Bargelès qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Au royaume du cannabis, la révolution du chanvre légal Le Maroc est réputé à travers le monde entier pour la qualité de sa résine de cannabis. C'est le plus gros producteur de la planète. Problème, jusque-là, seuls les narcotrafiquants en profitaient réellement, exploitant un terroir unique dans le nord du pays. À flanc de montagnes, dans le Rif, les champs de marijuana s'étendent à perte de vue. Il y a quelques années, l'idée a germé dans l'esprit des autorités : extirper cette économie de l'illicite et de l'informel, pour en faire une culture légale. Agriculteurs, coopératives de transformation, exportateurs, une nouvelle filière se déploie. Un Grand reportage de Matthias Raynal qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

Africa's beauty and personal care industry is growing, as more people look to achieve glowing skin and the perfect make up look. But many products on the market still do not cater to black skin. Last year, a study by US-based Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that over 3000 beauty products targeting black women contain health hazards. Focus on Africa: The Conversation host, Nkechi Ogbonna spoke with Zithobe Macheli, a skincare influencer from South Africa and Jessica Molefe, a make-up artist from Botswana to get their thoughts on this growing industry.

According to the World Health Organisation, cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer, yet it kills over 350,000 women globally every year.

‘All they have seen is a 40-year rule that has resulted in high unemployment rates, poor services, and an increased violation of human rights. This young population is yearning to see a different president, a different kind of Uganda.'Catherine Byaruhanga speaks to human rights lawyer and activist Nicholas Opiyo about Ugandan politics, the rule of law, and the impact of 40 years of one leader on the nation.He's taken on multiple cases of national significance, including successfully overturning the country's anti-LGBTQ legislation back in 2014 - although this has since been re-instated, and represented a former rebel commander of the Lord's Resistance Army.Opiyo has also represented Ugandan opposition politician Bobi Wine, who, despite previously being arrested and charged with treason in 2018, challenged the 81-year-old incumbent President Yoweri Museveni in January's disputed elections.These elections were watched from afar by Opiyo, who was recently forced to flee his home country for his own safety, but still continues his human rights work. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world. The best interviews from the BBC, including episodes with UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, Botswana's President Duma Boko, and Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Foreign Minister of Egypt.

Charlene, Chris, Lizzie, and Royal Commentator Afua Hagan unpack Harry's emotionally charged week fighting the Daily Mail's publisher in court.After Prince Harry gave evidence against the publisher of the Daily Mail, Charlene White is joined by Royal Editor Chris Ship, Royal Expert Lizzie Robinson, and Royal Commentator Afua Hagan to unpack what we've learnt and what might come next.Chris was in court as Prince Harry became almost overwhelmed with emotion, fighting back tears as he described how the press had made his wife's life "an absolute misery". Harry is one of seven claimants bringing this group action against the Daily Mail's Publisher Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), including Elton John, Liz Hurley and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, the mother of the murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence.They all claim ANL had written articles based on information, which was gathered unlawfully, like phone hacking, phone tapping and blagging.Associated Newspapers Limited denies the claims of wrongdoing and says the articles were based on 'legitimate sources' and 'carefully curated contacts'.The team explain why Prince Harry has chosen to fight the case now, why it's different from his previous legal battles with the press, and what happens if he wins.Also this week on Talking Royals: Where is Meghan? The Duchess of Sussex was not in the UK with Harry - indeed, the Prince has always said he would not bring his family back to Britain without his full personal security being reinstated. Now the pair are off to Sundance Film Festival, where they executive produced a documentary about Girl Scouts selling cookies. Plus, what's going on with Princess Eugenie and her father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor? Reports suggest Eugenie has cut off all contact with him following a series of allegations relating to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein - allegations he strongly denies.Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Wales were up in Scotland where they tried their hands at curling - and Kate managed to style out a precarious moment where she lost her balance on the ice!And, hot on the heels of a popular online trend: What was the Royal Family doing in 2016? We take a look back at the best photos of the year - from Harry and Meghan's third date in Botswana to the Queen's 90th birthday to Prince George's meeting with President Obama.

Chronic diseases are rising fast in Africa — and the same lifestyle factors driving illness in the U.S. are now impacting communities around the world. In this powerful episode of The Exam Room, host Chuck Carroll speaks with Dr. Samba Nyirenda, a lifestyle medicine physician in Botswana and the country's only certified Food for Life Instructor. Together, they explore how urbanization, processed foods, and the loss of traditional diets are fueling diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and hypertension — and how plant-based nutrition is offering real hope.
Somalia has accused the United Arab Emirates of undermining its sovereignty, including allegedly facilitating Israel's recognition of Somaliland, which Somalia considers part of its territory. In response, Mogadishu has canceled all agreements with the UAE, from ports to defence, raising questions about trade and security. We then turn to Botswana, following a recent visit by American YouTuber IShowSpeed to the Diamond Trading Centre in Gaborone, where he held a rough diamond and asked if he could buy it. Botswana's diamonds are a major part of national wealth, but acquiring them in raw form is strictly regulated. We explore what you need to know about these gems. Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Ayuba Iliya, Keikantse Shumba, Bella Twine Senior Producer: Blessing Aderogba Technical Producer: Terry Chege Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla
Robbie and Ashlee kick off legislative sessions across the country with a few highlights from Idaho (4 technology law restrictions proposed), Wisconsin (sandhill crane hunting season up for a vote), and Colorado (facing a shutdown of their wolf program by the feds), as well as the nomination of Steve Pearce to lead the Bureau of Land Management and a crazy situation with NG13 in Botswana involving elephants and other big game hunting.
