[00:30] Britain Is Broken (37 minutes) UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned today, meaning Britain will soon have its sixth prime minister in seven years. Britain's debt is rising faster than any country in the world apart from Botswana, and its weak leaders cannot solve the nation's political instability. [37:00] Two Americas (18 minutes) Former President Barack Obama deliberately opened his presidential center in Chicago just before President Donald Trump's July 4 celebration in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, both Iran and Trump agree that issues with the ceasefire are all Israel's fault.

Taylor Swift's rumored wedding to Travis Kelce got its closest thing yet to an official acknowledgment this week — when NYC's mayor listed it alongside the World Cup and America's 250th birthday while walking through the city's packed summer calendar. Meanwhile, a giant stage is reportedly going up in secret in Pennsylvania, Taylor pulled an all-nighter at Electric Lady Studios, and the honeymoon speculation has reached safari-lodge levels of detail. Still not one word from Taylor or Travis themselves.
Episode 265 - Celebrating Father's Day - Dad, Embrace Your Day, You Have Earned ThisThis Father's Day episode of Dad Space is both a celebration and a reflection, marking four years of conversations dedicated to supporting dads around the world. Dave opens with gratitude, recognizing the growth of the podcast and the global community that has formed around a shared goal: becoming better fathers through connection, encouragement, and honest conversation.At the heart of this episode is a simple but powerful message: celebrate Father's Day your way. Rather than following expectations or pressure on how the day “should” look, dads are encouraged to take ownership of the day and shape it or what they truly need. For some, that might mean quiet time alone, a coffee before the house wakes up, or a moment to reflect. For others, it is about intentional time with family, creating memories through shared experiences, laughter, and presence.Dave highlights how fleeting these moments can be, especially as children grow older, reminding listeners to value and prioritize time with their kids while they can. He also encourages dads to reconnect with parts of themselves that may have been put aside, whether that is a hobby, a passion, or simply time to recharge. Fatherhood often centers on giving to others, but this day serves as a reminder that self-care matters too.The episode also acknowledges that Father's Day can be complex. For some, it may be their first as a new dad, while others may be facing distance, loss, or difficult family circumstances. In those moments, the message is clear: you are not alone, and your impact as a father is not measured by one day, but by the consistent presence and effort you show every day.Dave reflects on the incredible reach of Dad Space, now heard in over 75 countries, emphasizing the universal nature of fatherhood. Despite different cultures and experiences, dads everywhere share the same desire to show up, grow, and support their families.The episode closes with appreciation for the listeners who make the show possible and an open invitation for dads to share their stories, connect, and be part of the community.Four years ago, Dad Space started with a simple idea: dads need space too.As we celebrate our fourth anniversary this Father's Day, I wanted to take a moment to recognize something pretty incredible. Dad Space may be recorded here in Canada, but this community of dads has become truly global.When I first hit record on that very first episode, I never imagined these conversations would travel around the world. Yet today, Dad Space has been downloaded by listeners in more than 75 countries and territories.Of course, our largest audience comes from the United States, followed by Canada. But then the map starts to get really interesting.We have dads and listeners joining us from Germany, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia, India, China, Hong Kong, France, Norway, Italy, Brazil, Spain, New Zealand, Finland, South Africa, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines.The conversations continue across Russia, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Belgium, Mexico, Turkey, South Korea, the Cayman Islands, the Netherlands, Estonia, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Israel, Lithuania, Sweden, Switzerland, Indonesia, Ireland, Austria, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Qatar.And it doesn't stop there.Dad Space has reached listeners in Argentina, Bangladesh, Denmark, Guatemala, Iraq, Panama, Poland, Taiwan, Bahrain, Belize, Botswana, Colombia, Czechia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Greece, Honduras, Iceland, Iran, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Morocco, Romania, Trinidad and Tobago, Türkiye, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.Think about that for a moment.Different languages.Different cultures.Different traditions.Different time zones.Yet we all share something in common.We're trying to become better dads.Whether you're listening during your morning commute in Toronto, sitting in traffic in Texas, walking through London, enjoying a coffee in Melbourne, relaxing in Singapore, or winding down after work in Germany, we're connected by a shared journey called fatherhood.The challenges may look different.The opportunities may look different.But the desire to show up for our families is universal.So on this Father's Day, and as Dad Space celebrates four years of conversations, I want to say thank you.Thank you for listening.Thank you for sharing episodes.Thank you for supporting the show.Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your parenting journey.Most of all, thank you for proving that dads everywhere are looking for connection, encouragement, and community.From Canada to the world, thank you for making Dad Space part of your story.Happy Father's Day.And wherever you're listening from today, know that there's a seat for you here in Dad Space.Key takeaway: Fatherhood is not defined by a single day or grand gestures, but by the daily commitment to show up, grow, and care for yourself and your family.___https://dadspace.caLeave Dave a voice message here!

Die regering se plan om 'n belang in De Beers te verkry, wek beide optimisme en kommer. Daar word gesê dat 'n belegging van tot 3 miljard Namibiese dollar in De Beers oorweeg word, via 'n gesamentlike onderneming met Botswana en Angola. Ondersteuners voer aan dat dit Namibië se vastrapplek in die bedryf kan versterk. Kritici waarsku egter dat die sukkelende diamantmark die onderneming riskant kan maak. Kennedy Hamutenya, die voormalige hoof van die staat se diamantbemarkings- en verkoopsmaatskappy, Namdia, sê die sleutel lê in hoe die belegging gestruktureer en bestuur word.
What does a safari look like when the guide isn't a man? Award-winning writer and editor Ellen Carpenter went to Botswana's Okavango Delta to find out. (To learn more, read her Afar story about the experience.) Meet this week's guests Ellen Carpenter is a New York–based culture and travel journalist. She served as editor in chief of Hemispheres, United's inflight magazine, for seven years, and before that was an editor at Rhapsody, Nylon, Spin, and Rolling Stone. Baemule "Bae" Siethuka, 32, grew up in Tutume in northeastern Botswana and was working in HR when she saw African Bush Camps' guiding program posted on Facebook. She became the program's first graduate in 2025 and is now a junior guide at Atzaró Okavango. Tshidi Phalaagae, 28, is a trainee guide from Gaborone, Botswana's capital — a true city girl who came to the program with, in her words, "zero knowledge of nature." At the time of Ellen's visit, she was just a few weeks shy of graduating. Jessica Motshegwa, 26, is a trainee guide from Mmadinare, Botswana, who joined the program in 2025. She once tried to enlist in the Botswana army. A Facebook link from her cousin changed her path. In this episode you'll learn Why more than 90 percent of African safari guides are male — and what one company is doing about it How African Bush Camp(ABC)'s three-year female guiding program works, from theory exams to practical training to first solo drives What it was like for Bae, ABC's first female guide, to complete her training while pregnant — and earn her license when her son was six months old Why Dutch Kasale, ABC's head guide and mentor, says training women from the city is often easier than training men who grew up in the bush What makes a female guide's approach on the game drive feel different The moment Bae manifests a leopard into view About African Bush Camps ABC was founded in 2006 by Beks Ndlovu, one of a handful of Black Africans to own a safari company. He launched the female guiding program in late 2021 with an ambitious goal: 50 percent female guides across all 18 camps in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia by 2030. There are currently 12 women in the program — eight trainees and four qualified guides.

He wondered what had happened.It took him to a 12 year study at the Free University in Amsterdam investigating 83 reports of a healing experience during or after prayer. Eleven of them were labelled as ‘medically remarkable' by a medical assessment team. The team was surprised by the impressive holistic dimensions of the experiences. The study led to a dissertation in scientific English in 2023 and a book explaining the findings in understandable Dutch in 2025.Dick Kruijthoff graduated in medicine and family medicine at the Erasmus university in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Subsequently he gained a degree in tropical medicine in Antwerp, Belgium, after which he worked in rural hospitals in Botswana, South Africa and Kenya for over five years.Upon his return to the Netherlands he had his own family practice from 1992 until 2021. Kruijthoff acquired a degree in elderly medicine in 2010.

Die Dorsland — the Thirstland — is part of the Kalahari that has an interesting history when it comes to pastoralists. The San didn't call it the Thirstland, for them it wasn't a barrier but part of a network of seasonal resource nodes. They would navigate the dry spans using sip-wells, inserting long, hollow reeds deep into the damp sand, use grass filters, and literally suck water up to store in hollowed-out ostrich eggshells buried along transit routes for future journeys. Around 2,000 to 2,500 years ago, a massive economic shift occurred when groups in northern Botswana acquired livestock, sheep and later cattle, transitioning from hunter-gatherers to pastoralists—becoming the Khoekhoe. Archaeological evidence indicates the Khoekhoe moved out of the northern Botswana/Zambezi region and split. One major migration route skirted the western edge of the Kalahari desert, moving down through modern-day Namibia and into the Northern and Western Cape with the Kalahari was the geographic pivot around which this entire pastoralist expansion rotated. Moving large herds of sheep and cattle through a Thirstland required moving between reliable pans and riverbeds like the Nossob, Auob, and Molopo rivers. They transformed the Kalahari from a hunter-gatherer landscape into a series of strategic grazing corridors. The Dorsland Trekkers were going to reverse that course to some extent, using the north western Botswana region to reach Namibia, and eventually, Angola. The Khoekhoe like the Voortrekkers, appreciated their freedom, moving in small extended family groups, their mobility part of their world-view. Instead of heading north west like the trekkers, they had headed south west for hundreds of years, arriving in Southern Africa about 2400 years ago. That was about the time parts of south-central Africa experienced a shift in rainfall, forests and dense woodlands expanded or contracted, the tsetse belts moved. If you were an early pastoralist whose entire wealth, diet, and social structure depended on cattle and sheep, a shifting tsetse belt was an existential threat. The arid margins of the Kalahari, the Namib, and the Karoo environments further south were too dry for the tsetse fly. The Karoo was a safe haven for livestock, the Namib too dessicated. In high-rainfall, tropical areas, grass grows fast but loses its nutritional value in winter, it becomes sourveld. In more arid regions like the fringes of the Kalahari and the Karoo the grass grows slower but retains its high mineral and protein content year-round, even when dry - it is sweetveld. To a sheep or cow, the arid south was an open buffet of incredibly nutritious feed. The Khoekhoe migration pushed into the Western Cape, where they hit a completely different climate zone, the winter rainfall region, so just as the summer rainfall area dried out, the Cape valleys were greening up. But where the trekkers moved northwards taking a decade and arrived Angola in 1880, the Khoekhoe migrations took hundreds of years. A gradual seeping south if you like. After the Khoekhoe, and before the Boers, the people of the Ngami area near the Okavango Delta were known as the Khwebe - from the word Kwe which simply means “people”. They dwelled close to a geographical anomaly in Botswana - the Khwebe Hills — Botswana is one of the flattest countries on earth. The Khwebe hills are a windy place and Khwebe mythology speaks of the Gas Bird which lives in a certain baobab near the upper Okavango River valley. If you listen closely, you can hear his hissing voice inside the tree. The mythology is linked to earlier San cosmology, where the word !Khwe means wind — and where the wind is a supernatural being.
Une nouvelle édition de Latitudes, l'une des foires d'art contemporain de Johannesburg, s'est déroulée ce week-end du 23-24 mai. Et comme chaque année, un espace était dédié à des artistes d'un pays du continent mis à l'honneur. Après le Botswana, c'était cette fois-ci au tour du Nigeria de voir sa scène créative être célébrée et présentée au public local. Un échange à rebours des clichés, qui permet aux Sud-Africains d'avoir un autre regard sur le Nigeria, souvent perçu de manière négative à cause des tensions xénophobes. De notre correspondante à Johannesburg, Ces réalisations de peintres et plasticiens nigérians sont rassemblées au niveau d'une des terrasses des magnifiques jardins de Shepstone, où se déroule la foire d'art. Boitumelo Makousu est la commissaire de l'exposition : « Nous avons des sculptures, des peintures, des œuvres faites avec des étoffes... Prenons par exemple Meritblessing Ibrahim : elle utilise des tissus traditionnels pour les transformer en sculptures. Ici, nous avons (Gbolahan) Ayola, qui travaille l'argile. Il se rend sur des sites archéologiques du Nigeria, mène des recherches et réfléchit à la notion d'origine. Jusqu'à présent, nous avons déjà vendu 12 œuvres en tout, et j'ai dû les remplacer pour recomposer ce que vous voyez. » De grands visages de femmes peints sur des sacs en toile de jute signés Paul Ayihawu côtoient des tableaux de Samuel Inalegwu. Dans l'entrée, sont exposées des œuvres de Jemiye Ugwujide, artiste aux origines nigérianes qui habite en Afrique du Sud depuis 15 ans. Son travail tourne autour des questions de genre et d'identité queer : « C'est magnifique de voir des artistes et des Sud-Africains s'intéresser à l'art nigérian, l'admirer ou faire preuve de curiosité. J'aime beaucoup que les gens viennent me voir et me posent des questions sur ma culture igbo, sur notre cosmologie. Parce que le panafricanisme, c'est refuser l'idée xénophobe selon laquelle il n'y aurait pas assez de place pour que tout le monde coexiste. » « Nos histoires sont entremêlées » Dans l'ensemble, les couleurs sont vives, et beaucoup choisissent l'art du portrait comme moyen d'expression. Toute cette série a d'abord été dévoilée à Lagos, et elle est maintenant présentée au public sud-africain, ce qui ravit Tsakane, venue visiter la foire : « Ce sont de très belles créations. À travers l'art, on commence à voir qu'on n'est pas si différents, nos histoires sont entremêlées et nous avons beaucoup de thématiques en communs. Ça aide à humaniser des personnes qu'on ne connait pas, et à faire reculer la peur. » Une collaboration facilitée par la présence dans les deux pays de la banque qui sponsorise la foire Latitudes. Mais pour Boitumelo Makousu, le fait que Lagos et Pretoria soient deux places fortes de l'art contemporain sur le continent devrait encourager davantage les échanges : « Il y a une relation assez violente entre les deux pays, et pour moi, l'aborder à travers le prisme de l'art peut permettre de créer des discussions et une forme de dialogue. » Au-delà de cette salle dédiée au Nigeria, la foire aura permis de découvrir en tout, les œuvres de quelque de 300 artistes.

“Most of Africa is rural, and although urbanisation is taking root now, the systems that deliver financial services to women are still eluding them.” Leanna Byrne speaks to microfinance pioneer Dr Jennifer Riria about her life, career, and personal mission to improve the lives of women in some of Africa's poorest communities. Having started life in a poor, rural village in Kenya, Dr Riria worked her way up to develop and run one of the biggest microfinance institutions for women in Africa. Microfinance is a banking service providing small loans and more, to people with low income who might lack access to traditional banking. It's aimed at fostering self-sufficiency, financial education, and entrepreneurship in developing areas. Her focus is not limited to finance. She also draws on her experiences of teaching at university, and consulting for UNICEF, the UN children's aid agency, in order to progress women's development in education and leadership.

Botswana se president Duma Boko sê dis tydig en noodsaaklik dat sy land en Suid-Afrika voortgaan om samewerking in alle sektore te versterk. Hy het gisteraand ʼn staatsbanket aangebied ter ere van president Cyril Ramaphosa wat op ʼn tweedaagse staatsbesoek in Botswana is. Suid-Afrika is Botswana se grootste handelsvennoot en verantwoordelik vir meer as 50-persent van die land se invoere. Boko sê deur beter samewerking kan dié twee lande hulle posisioneer as enjins van streekshervorming en pilare van vooruitgang op die vasteland:

In dieser Folge von MainAthlet – Der Leichtathletik Podcast spricht Benjamin mit Owe Fischer-Breiholz über seinen Saisonstart 2026, seinen Einstieg über die 300 Meter Hürden in Pliezhausen, die nächsten Schritte über 400 Meter Hürden und seine Erfahrungen bei den World Relays in Gaborone.Owe Fischer-Breiholz gehört zu den spannendsten deutschen Athleten über die 400 Meter Hürden. 2025 lief er mit 48,01 Sekunden persönliche Bestzeit über 400 Meter Hürden und wird bei World Athletics als European U23 champion und National champion geführt. In Pliezhausen startete er nun mit starken 34,80 Sekunden über die bestenlistenfähigen 300 Meter Hürden in die Saison 2026. Der Meetingbericht nennt diese Leistung als neue Hürdenrekordleistung bei den Männern; zusätzlich gewann Owe auch die Variante bis zur achten Hürde in 35,27 Sekunden. Im Gespräch erklärt Owe, warum Pliezhausen für ihn mehr war als nur ein lockerer Saisoneinstieg. Er spricht über Technik, Rhythmus, die Körperposition vor der Hürde und darüber, warum er sich gegen einen Start über 600 Meter und für zwei Hürdenrennen entschieden hat. Besonders spannend: Owe kommt ursprünglich eher von den längeren Strecken, sogar die 800 Meter spielen in seiner sportlichen Geschichte eine Rolle. Trotzdem fühlt er sich inzwischen auf den 400 Meter Hürden zuhause und will dort den nächsten Schritt machen.Ein zentrales Thema ist die Frage: Was braucht es, damit aus 48,01 Sekunden eine 47er-Zeit wird? Owe sieht den größten Hebel nicht auf den letzten 100 Metern, sondern in der ersten Rennhälfte. Wenn er dort mehr Geschwindigkeit mitnehmen kann, könnte auch der Schluss schneller werden. Dazu spricht er über seine starke Trainingsgruppe mit Joshua Abuaku und Emil Agyekum, über Konkurrenz im Training und darüber, warum sich die 400 Meter Hürden trotz Einzelstart manchmal wie Teamsport anfühlen.Außerdem geht es um sein erstes 4x400-Meter-Staffelrennen überhaupt – direkt bei den World Relays. Owe erzählt, wie besonders es ist, an der Startlinie zu warten, während die Teamkollegen bereits unterwegs sind. Und er berichtet von einer kuriosen Geschichte: einer falsch ausgemessenen Startlinie in Botswana, durch die die zunächst starke Zeit der deutschen Männerstaffel später nicht mehr zählte. Zum Abschluss blickt Owe auf die kommenden Wettkämpfe in Rehlingen, Dresden, die Deutschen Meisterschaften und die Europameisterschaften 2026 in Birmingham. Sein klares Ziel: das EM-Finale.Alle aktuellen Partner findest du hier:NordVPN mit verschlüsselter Verbindung und blockiert schädliche Seiten & Tracker.Exklusiv: Großer Rabatt auf das 2-Jahrespaket + 4 Extra-Monate gratis.

Lauren Gale may now live and train in Ottawa, but this Newfoundland-born sprinter, raised by two Nova Scotians, still carries the warmth and spirit of the East Coast everywhere she goes. Friendly, thoughtful, and deeply connected to her family, friends, and community, Lauren's positivity stands out just as much as her speed on the track. Over the years, she's experienced the highs and lows that come with life as both an individual and relay sprinter, but her resilience and dedication to the sport have never wavered. A track athlete for more than half her life, Lauren continues to raise the bar. In 2024, she set a Canadian record in the 300m with a time of 36.53, and this month she helped Canada earn bronze in the 4x400m at the World Relay Championships in Botswana while also running a season's best. With two Olympic appearances already behind her and her sights set firmly on a third, Lauren's journey is far from over — and wherever the sport takes her next, you can count on her bringing that same positivity and East Coast charm along for the ride.

In today's conversation, we speak with PJ Austin of the United States, a multiple time All-American in the 60m, 100m, 4x100 and Long Jump while in the NCAA, and has since gone on to represent the USA at the 2025 and 2026 World Relays.PJ was one of the fastest sprinters coming out of Florida having run a personal best of 9.89 seconds in the 100m, and shortly after graduating, he turned professional and began competing around the world at various meets on the circuit.Early in May, PJ ran anchor leg on Team USA's 4x100m relay which won Gold at the 2026 World Relays in Botswana in a time of 37.43 seconds, one of the fastest relay times in history. This came on the heels of him competing at various meets across Africa including in Kenya, Botswana and South Africa.In our conversation, discuss the 2026 World Relays, including PJ being selected for the team, the practice before hand, and running the anchor leg for Team USA. PJ also explains what he learned from competing at Florida, his transition to the professional world, and now training under Dennis Mitchell and the Star Athletics group along with Kenny B, Courtney Lindsey, Christian Coleman and others.Finally, we breakdown PJs 100m race, including where he is most looking to improve and his goals for the 2026 season and beyond.-------------------------------------------
Namibia sits on the south-west coast of Africa. Below Angola, above South Africa, with Botswana to the east.Portuguese explorers first reached the coast here in the 1480s. No natural harbour, brutal surf, cold Atlantic fog, the Namib Desert running straight into the sea, little access to fresh water. They planted crosses to mark their claims, turned around and went home again, never to return.Today that coast is known as the Skeleton Coast because of shipwrecks and whale bones.Three hundred years later, having decided there was too much tropical disease in Gambia, the British looked at Namibia as a possible penal colony. They decided it was too inhumane.It was Germans and Finns who eventually settled on the coast another hundred years on.Namibia is about three and a half times the size of the UK, and yet its population is only 3 million. It is big and empty. Most of it is desert.I've got more endless expanse shots than I know what to do with. Here is just one of them. Plus a short vid shot from a hot air balloon which gives you an idea of the sheer endlessness of the place.Even in the capital city, Windhoek, there is just so much space.The only two places in the world that are less densely populated are Greenland and Mongolia. Namibia beats even Australia and Mauritania, which is mostly Sahara desert.Demographically, the country is roughly 87% black, 6% white and 5% mixed race, with the Ovambo people to the north making up about half the population. I saw a few Asians while I was there too.A country of extremesThere are still bushmen and other ancient hunter-gatherer people living as they have lived for centuries, yet other parts of the country are extremely modern. There are shopping centres to rival our own, good roads (the best in Africa, I was told), great restaurants, commercial farms and more. About half the population is urban. The national language is English, adopted after the country gained independence from South Africa in 1990, but I found that people, black and white, would as often speak amongst themselves in Afrikaans and, up north, Ovambo. On the coast German is widely spoken. (The country was a German colony from the 1880s until World War I, when South Africa, then British, invaded. Hence it has great beer.)The controlling political force is the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO), which has governed since independence in 1990. SWAPO is nominally social democratic, but there are still strong liberation-era left-wing instincts, as evidenced by streets in the capital renamed after independence: Fidel Castro Street, Robert Mugabe Avenue and so on.All being said, Namibia functions well.It is a stable democracy with rule of law, an independent judiciary (the government sometimes loses cases), relatively free markets and low crime by African (and European) standards. Immigration law is tight too. Having seen the problems stemming from mass immigration into South Africa, Namibia has taken a more controlled approach.Indeed I heard repeated frustrations from mining companies trying to obtain visas for geologists and mining engineers where the local expertise either does not exist or is employed elsewhere.Official unemployment is 37%, but I heard from several different sources that the real number is above 50%. 50%! Very sad.Nominal GDP per capita sits around US$5,000, roughly double that adjusted for purchasing power, which puts it above most of sub-Saharan Africa. The World Bank classifies Namibia as a lower-middle-income country, alongside countries such as Albania, Argentina and Belize. But these numbers are misleading.The country has vast wealth through its natural resources and related industries: uranium, copper, diamonds, fishing and tourism. Spread that revenue across just 3 million people and the averages look impressive.There is also serious rural poverty.Namibia combines first-world infrastructure with third-world unemployment.The currency is pegged to the South African rand, not one I would have chosen. Official inflation sits in the 2-3% range.About 88% of the country's sovereign debt is held domestically, and there appears to be healthy demand for its bonds. The country has also recently begun a sovereign wealth fund, which is reportedly growing at an impressive 16% since 2022. The central bank has recently also implemented a gold acquisition programme. Kudos.The country has high institutional savings and one the larger stock exchanges in sub-Saharan Africa.Food is cheap, protein in particular. The country has an enormous cattle herd, almost as large as its population. Recent outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in neighbouring countries are therefore a cause for concern, as you can imagine. (Not my bag, but I reckon there is an opportunity exporting Namibian biltong to the UK, where it is expensive. I brought back loads). Other goods, however, can be expensive because the country relies heavily on imports.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.The main industries - tourism and natural resourcesPorts are expanding. The railways are not great, though I hear they will be improved. The roads, however, are excellent, as I said. Namibia is also the world's third-largest uranium producer after Kazakhstan and Canada. Chinese interests hold majority stakes in the country's three largest uranium mines, not to mention other metals.Oil and gas have recently been discovered offshore. Shell plc is one of the pioneers.As for gold, Namibia only really became a meaningful gold player after independence, since when roughly 15 million ounces have been discovered, much of it alongside copper. Among the larger players is B2 Gold (BTO.TO), which is well known in the country. Large parts of the country remain un- or under-explored. And I think that is where a lot of the big opportuities lie.There also appear to be rare earth deposits in some abundance. Kendrik Resources (KEN.L) recently made some progress here. Solar, wind and hydrogen projects are also attracting investment tooChinese money helped build the SWAPO headquarters, and they are investing significantly in mines in the country. Of note is that the USA recently spent heavily developing their embassy. It is big. Former Trump attorney John Giordano is now ambassador, a surprisingly high -profile appointment for such a low-profile country.One theory I heard repeatedly was that, given deteriorating US relations with South Africa, Washington increasingly sees Namibia as strategically important in terms of Atlantic access, energy routes and influence in the south Atlantic. Not quite the Panama Canal or Strait of Hormuz, but it could be something of a chokepoint. Namibia feels like a country at the cusp of something.It has space, resources, energy, political stability and strategic importance.Next week I want to look in more detail at Namibia as an investment destination, particularly its mining sector, where some very interesting things may be developing.My thanks go to to Rowland Brown and Chanel Marais of Cirrus Capital for bringing me to Namibia and for organizing what was a brilliant and instructuve conference.Thank you for reading the Flying Frisby.Until next time,Dominic This is a public episode.

In this second episode of our season-long exploration into "The Wallet," Peterson Toscano and Diana Yañez dive into Relational Finance. This concept challenges the traditional divide between "financial experts" and "spiritual seekers." Taking the Quaker theology of the "priesthood of all believers" and applying it to economics, we explore how taking personal responsibility for our money—and our institutional assets—leads to deeper integrity and more equitable power-sharing. From the boardrooms of major corporations to micro-grant partnerships in Kenya and Sierra Leone, we look at what happens when we stop letting others stand between us and the truth of our financial impact. In This Episode The Unmediated Truth: Jeff Perkins reflects on the Quaker commitment to taking responsibility for one's beliefs, even when it comes to the "taboo" topic of money. Decolonizing Power: Traci Hjelt Sullivan discusses how Right Sharing of World Resources is shifting power from Western offices to local coordinators, moving from "saviorism" to genuine partnership. Ownership as a Tool: We explore how holding onto shares in a company (rather than just divesting) can be a powerful way to "hold the door open" for justice in corporate boardrooms. Our Guests Jeff Perkins Jeff is the former executive director of Friends Fiduciary. He is a member of Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting in Philadelphia and lives in Philadelphia with his husband. His journey to Quakerism began at a nuclear test site protest in the 1980s, where the integrity of Quaker activists inspired his lifelong commitment to faith-led action. Traci Hjelt Sullivan Traci is the executive director of Right Sharing of World Resources (RSWR). With decades of non-profit management experience, including roles at Pendle Hill and Friends General Conference, Traci brings a global perspective to her work, having lived or worked in Ethiopia, Zambia, Botswana, Kenya, and beyond. She is a member of Green Street Meeting in Philadelphia. Nathan Kleban Nathan is the program and advancement associate at RSWR. His background includes serving as an environmental volunteer with the Peace Corps in Mali and working with the Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP). He currently lives in Iowa City, Iowa. Amy Carr Amy is the senior shareholder advocate at Friends Fiduciary. She utilizes her background in information science and data research to engage companies on ESG (environmental, social, and governance) issues, bringing Quaker values to the forefront of corporate dialogue. Organizations Mentioned Friends Fiduciary Corporation: A Quaker nonprofit providing professional investment and planned giving services to Friends meetings, schools, and organizations. Right Sharing of World Resources: An organization providing seed grants to women's self-help groups in the Global South, rooted in the Quaker testimony of simplicity.

The president of Botswana Duma Boko in an exclusive conversation with the BBC has shared his view about the state of diplomatic ties between African countries and France, as the "Africa Forward" summit kicks off in Nairobi. And, around the world, about 100,000 seabirds are unintentionally killed each year by fishing gear, including 10,000 in South Africa. In response, the conservation charity, BirdLife set up an Albatross Task Force, and by putting bird-scaring lines on fishing boats, they've managed to cut the number of albatrosses accidentally killed by 90 percent.

Interview with Sean Whiteford, CEO, NexMetals MiningOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/nickel-enters-a-new-era-as-indonesia-tightens-supply-and-prices-surge-10057Recording date: 8th May 2026NexMetals Mining is advancing the redevelopment of its Selebi and Selkirk copper-nickel-PGM deposits in Botswana through a combination of metallurgical innovation and aggressive exploration. A key breakthrough has been the successful production of separate, saleable copper and nickel concentrates, eliminating the need for costly smelter construction. This shift significantly reduces capital requirements and execution risk, making the projects more feasible for a development-stage company.The deposits currently host approximately 28 million tons grading over 3% copper equivalent, with ongoing drilling aimed at expanding the resource base. A newly identified “flexure zone” at Selebi Main, defined through modern geophysical techniques, represents a high-priority target with strong indications of extensive mineralisation. Wide-spaced drilling has already demonstrated the potential for rapid resource growth.Metallurgical testing has delivered results well above previous assumptions, with copper recoveries improving to 88% from 70% and palladium to 78.5% from 59%. Additional payable metals, including cobalt, gold, and silver, further enhance project value. These improvements are expected to increase net smelter return values and lower cutoff grades in the upcoming resource update, strengthening overall project economics.Backed by an $80 million financing, NexMetals is progressing toward a maiden preliminary economic assessment, which will outline capital costs, operating metrics, and returns under the new concentrate-based development plan. Analysts have set price targets ranging from $8.50 to over $12, suggesting potential upside from current levels.Strategically, the company is evaluating options such as a joint venture or spin-out of the Selkirk asset to unlock value while focusing on Selebi. Botswana's stable, mining-friendly environment, existing infrastructure, and streamlined permitting further support a potentially accelerated path to production compared to greenfield projects.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/nexmetals-mining-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Cannabis is moving toward a true global market where every country plays to its strengths. Where the industry will be in another ten years should be quite awesome — and anyone who's been in it long enough knows the difference between hype and a real shift.In this episode of the Cannabis Accounting Podcast, host Raymond Guns sits down with Chris Day, co-founder of the Global Cannabis Network Collective (GCNC), to break down what's really happening in the global cannabis industry — and why US operators who ignore it are setting themselves up to lose.Chris has spent 30+ years helping businesses grow in industries that move fast and break rules. He was recruited into cannabis by MJBizCon, and six years ago he and Jillian Redish launched GCNC to connect operators across countries that were all solving the same problems in silence. Today GCNC has boots on the ground in 25 countries across 5 continents. Chris bases himself out of Mexico, hops between Latin America and Europe, and spends his days mapping how cannabis actually moves around the world.Chris breaks down:
The World Athletics Relays wrapped up Sunday with world records, championship records, and the first automatic qualifiers secured for Budapest and Beijing 2027.Discussed in this episode:- Jamaica broke their own mixed 4x100m world record — 39.62 in the final- USA smashed the mixed 4x400m championship record — 3:07.47- Host nation Botswana won the men's 4x400m in 2:54.47 — third fastest in history — in front of a packed home crowd described as one of the best atmospheres in recent track memory- Norway stunned the field in the women's 4x400m with a world-leading national record of 3:20.96- The race of the meet: The men's 4x400m final produced one of the most jaw-dropping relay performances ever. Botswana (2:54.47), South Africa (2:55.07), and Australia (2:55.20) went 2nd, 3rd, and 4th all time. The world record of 2:54.29 — set by the US in 1993 — survives, but barely. All three anchors were shoulder to shoulder on the final bend before Botswana's Collen Kebinatshipi pulled away with what witnesses described as otherworldly closing speed.- The split that turned heads: South African sprinter Lythe Pillay ran a 42.66 relay split — a stunning leg for an athlete whose individual PB coming in was 44.31.- The lane 3 controversy Another story emerged from Day 1 of the World Relays — and it's a troubling one. Belgian coach Bram Peters posted photographic evidence that the starting line for lane 3 in the 4x400m heats was incorrectly placed, meaning teams in that lane ran short of the full 400 meters.- Why USATF skipped the men's and women's 4x400m – USATF didn't send men's or women's 4x400 teams to Gaborone — and the reasoning is more logical than it might seem.- Allyson Felix announces comeback – Felix announced via TIME that she's coming out of retirement to pursue the 2028 LA Olympics at 42, calling it “Project Six.” Felix's last season best was 50.71 at age 36 in 2022.Mentioned in this episode: These are the questions I would ask the Enhanced Games … if they would let me by Sean Ingle via The Guardian____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Preet Majithia | @preet_athletics Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

Nonprofit leaders dream of someone walking in and saying, “I’m going to give you a million dollars.” Very few ever see it happen. In this episode, a longtime supporter explains why she chose to fund multiple mobile coaches, help open an East Texas Regional Service Center, and seed The Rose’s Mammogram to Medical Home program instead of paying for brick and mortar. She talks about dividing her mother’s unrestricted giving fund among education, medical care, and conservation, and why she looks for small organizations whose work sends “tentacles” into whole communities and generations. From a women’s bakery in Africa that feeds thousands of children and sends girls to school, to knowledge mobiles, orphaned elephants, and seed grants for students, she returns over and over to one idea: food and health give people a chance at any future. Support The Rose HERE. Subscribe to Let’s Talk About Your Breasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and wherever you get your podcasts. Key Questions Answered 1. Why did this donor decide to fund mobile mammography coaches instead of buildings or equipment alone? 2. What led her to support The Rose’s Mammogram to Medical Home program for uninsured women without a doctor? 3. How does she evaluate nonprofits and decide where her giving can reach the most people? 4. What impact has her support had on The Rose’s reach across rural counties in Texas? 5. How does the women’s bakery in Africa change entire families and communities over time? 6. Why is conservation, especially in Africa, a core part of her philanthropy? 7.

In this episode Kevin Coldiron is joined by bestselling author Joe Studwell who speaks about his new book How Africa Works: Success and Failure on the World's Last Development Frontier. We discuss why many of our perceptions about Africa are wrong - why one big problem has been too few people, not too many and why the continent isn't as resource-rich as we think. Joe talks us through some surprising success stories - like Rwanda's emulation of Singapore and Botswana's success in avoiding “the resource curse”. This is the time to begin researching and understanding the opportunities in a continent that has more land mass than the US, China and India combined and will eventually be home to the majority of the world's young people.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow Joe on LinkedIn and read his book.Episode TimeStamps: 00:01 - Introduction to the episode and guest02:04 - Why the book was written and initial motivation05:50 - Outsider perspective and reactions in Africa07:22 - The core idea: population density and development08:22 - Why Africa's growth lagged historically14:23 - Population growth and changing economic potential15:39 - Colonialism in Africa vs Asia20:14 - Land, agriculture, and development differences23:55 - Rise of private sector and food production25:57 - Resources and the limits of extractive growth29:56 - Botswana and managing resource wealth36:21 - Rwanda's development model and governance44:41 - Ethnic dynamics and future stability50:24 - China's role and manufacturing potential56:04 - Investing in Africa and long term outlookCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

CrowdScience listeners Dougie and Molly have been wondering what happens to animals when they die, and whether there are animals that hold rituals to mark the passing of one of their kin. Presenter Caroline Steel is on the case, trying to work out what happens to the bodies of animals when they die. Dougie and Molly say they rarely see animal carcasses where they live - so where do they all go? Dr Sarah Perkins of Cardiff University in the UK runs a research project called Roadlab, which logs how quickly the bodies of animals killed by traffic disappear, and she thinks she might have a clue. Caroline joins her on a hunt through the undergrowth for animals, and answers. And when animals lose a member of their flock, herd or school, do they indulge in rituals that look anything like a funeral? Caroline meets Dr Kaeli Swift, an ecologist at the University of Washington in the US, who has some surprising evidence from her research into bereaved crows. Meanhile, in Botswana, Mathale ‘Metal' Mosheti is a safari guide in Chobe National Park. The African Savannah Elephants there demonstrate some remarkable behaviour when another elephant dies. But do animals really grieve for their loved ones? Dr Barbara J. King, Emerita Professor of Anthropology at William & Mary University in the US, has some ideas. But is it enough to answer Dougie and Molly's question? Presenter: Caroline Steel Producer: Tom Bonnett Editor: Ben Motley(Photo: Little red sick bird canary inside a wheelbarrow pushed by a lizard.

And then we highlight an unexpected connection between SNL's newest cast member and Orlando-based Christian rapper Caleb Gordon. For real.Plus we cover NCAA tournament drama, late night legends ranked, and the high school celebrity alumni rabbit hole (yes, DJ Khaled, Joey Fatone and Wayne Brady went to school together).

And at the end of the show it's One Has to Go: pop icons, board games, classic Comedy Central, sneaker culture and more.
