Lab-grown stones are booming, threatening to crush the diamond trade. So, how is the industry coping? And what does this mean for Botswana, a country whose schools, hospitals, roads, and economy have been built by the profits from diamond mining?

Malgré les sanctions, la Russie garde la première marche du podium pour la troisième année consécutive, en valeur comme en part de marché en ce début juillet, selon le Rapaport Group, institution qui fait référence sur le marché du diamant. Une position qu'elle conserve bien que sa part dans le marché mondial ait légèrement reculé, car elle a réduit sa production et ses exportations pour soutenir ses prix. Depuis 2023, année où elle a dépassé le Botswana, la Russie conserve son titre de premier producteur mondial de diamants bruts en valeur. Le pays a même produit près de deux fois plus de diamants bruts que ses plus proches concurrents. Concrètement, selon les statistiques publiées en début de mois par le Processus de Kimberley, la Russie a extrait l'an dernier 31,5 millions de carats, pour une valeur totale de 2,72 milliards de dollars, soit un prix moyen de 86 dollars par carat. À lire aussiLe Canada, un géant mondial du diamant aux mines vieillissantes Techniques sophistiquées de contournement des sanctions La performance est notable et notamment en raison des sanctions occidentales. Depuis le 1ᵉʳ janvier 2024, les pays du G7 interdisent l'importation de pierres extraites en Russie et l'Union européenne a sanctionné le géant russe Alrosa, le premier producteur mondial, qui fournit un quart du marché. Évidemment, comme pour d'autres produits, la Russie a construit un système sophistiqué de contournement. Selon notamment une enquête d'un média indépendant et d'une ONG russe, la Russie profite d'une sacrée faille : le bannissement ne s'applique pas aux diamants déjà présents sur le territoire européen ou dans les pays tiers avant le 1ᵉʳ janvier 2024, ni à ceux taillés en dehors de Russie avant cette date. Pensé pour protéger les investisseurs, le résultat, c'est que beaucoup de diamants russes sont taillés ailleurs, changent d'origine et se fraient un chemin sur des marchés dont les portes sont censées être fermées. L'Arménie est pointée du doigt pour son aide au diamant russe par l'OCCRP, une organisation internationale de journalisme d'investigation. Réduction de la production dans un secteur jugé instable Reste que le tableau est loin d'être si rose pour la Russie et Alrosa. D'abord, parce que l'entreprise a suspendu l'exploitation de plusieurs gisements au cours des mois écoulés afin de réduire ses coûts dans un contexte de ralentissement du secteur. Au total, selon le journal Kommersant, la production russe a été réduite de 15,5 % en 2025. Selon les données du Processus de Kimberley, c'est la plus forte baisse de production parmi les cinq principaux pays producteurs de diamants, la Russie se classe même au deuxième rang pour le recul de ses exportations. Les perspectives du secteur du diamant russe sont évaluées de manière très diverse dans le pays, mais des points convergent chez les analystes cités dans la presse russe : le secteur reste instable, la concurrence des pierres synthétiques s'intensifie et la popularité des diamants est en déclin à l'échelle mondiale.

Are cattle inherently destructive—or have we simply built the wrong agricultural system around them?In this episode, Dr Max Gulhane speaks with Professor Richard Fynn, a rangeland ecologist and conservation scientist at the University of Botswana, about the future of beef production, regenerative grazing and indigenous African cattle.Professor Fynn explains why beef raised on diverse natural rangelands is fundamentally different from beef produced through grain-based feedlots. They explore how the phytochemical diversity of a cow's diet may influence animal health, meat quality and flavour, as well as the broader consequences of feedlot production for animal welfare, biodiversity, soil carbon and the conversion of grasslands into cropland.The conversation then turns to Nguni and other indigenous African cattle. These animals have been shaped over generations by heat, drought, parasites, disease and nutritionally challenging landscapes. Their smaller frames, fertility, browsing ability and resilience may make them better suited to a hotter and increasingly variable climate than many large European-derived breeds.TIMESTAMPS00:35 The Importance of Phytochemical Diversity in Animal Diets03:24 Health Implications of Feedlot vs. Rangeland Beef06:14 Consumer Awareness and Ethical Considerations in Meat Production09:14 Environmental Impact of Feedlots vs. Sustainable Practices11:48 The Role of Indigenous Breeds in Sustainable Agriculture15:05 Adaptation of Cattle to Climate Change and Drought Conditions18:04 The Economic Benefits of Indigenous Breeds20:54 Case Studies and Personal Experiences with Nguni Cattle23:55 Conclusion: The Future of Sustainable Beef Production36:10 The Importance of Adaptation in Cattle Breeding38:32 Genetic Resilience and Disease Resistance41:32 The Impact of Foot and Mouth Disease45:36 Grazing Management and Land Management Strategies53:46 The Dangers of Selective Grazing58:34 High Density Grazing and Its Benefits01:03:41 The Future of Sustainable Beef Production01:17:05 Moving Away from Feedlot ProductionFOLLOW RICHARDContact rfynn@ub.ac.bw Research Gate profile: https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Richard-Fynn-2132304344Grazing smarter: science-based grazing strategies, not only stocking rate, determine rangeland outcomes - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.2989/10220119.2025.2609078FURTHER LISTENING ON NGUNIMy Nguni interviews - https://www.youtube.com/playlist? list=PLrv4qp8WwfQG8lBXPL2BFx0sBAwA-jFboAUSTRALIAN NGUNI BREEDERS Henham Ngunis - https://www.henhamngunis.com.au/Dr Gabriël Roux, Genesis Nguni - http://www.genesisnguni.com/NGUNI COMMUNITY Nguni Association of Australia - https://www.nguni.au/Nguni Australia Instagram - https://instagram.com/nguni_australiaNguni Association of South Africa - https://nguni.co.za/Nguni Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/ngunicattle/Nguni Australia Facebook Group -https://www.facebook.com/nguniaustraliaFollow DR MAXWebsite: https://drmaxgulhane.com/ (SIGN UP TO MY EMAIL LIST)Private Group: https://www.skool.com/dr-maxs-circadian-resetCourses: https://drmaxgulhane.com/collections/coursesTwitter: https://twitter.com/MaxGulhaneMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_max_gulhane/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1661751206Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6edRmG3IFafTYnwQiJjhwRLinktree: https://linktr.ee/maxgulhanemd#nguni #regenerativefarming #regenerativeagricultureSend us Fan Mail
Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss! Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today: Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (TSXV: GR) Great Atlantic has commenced a 2026 prospecting and rock geochemical sampling program at its 100%-owned Flume Ridge tin-tungsten claim in southwest New Brunswick. The claim hosts historic tungsten showings, with past glacial-float samples returning up to 2.09% WO3. Management previously helped advance the nearby Sisson Brook tungsten project, giving investors early exposure to a critical-metals story in a tier-one Canadian jurisdiction. GR Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV: GRSL) (OTCQX: GRSLF) (FSE: GPE) GR Silver reported strong resource-expansion drilling at its San Marcial project in Mexico, highlighted by 21.9 metres at 168 g/t silver, including 6.15 metres at 447 g/t silver. The results extend high-grade silver mineralization at least 150 metres beyond the current resource boundary. The continuity supports further expansion of an emerging high-grade silver district. Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME) (OTCQB: LMEFF) (FSE: 5YD) Laurion reported high-grade grab samples from the historic Miron Zone at its Ishkōday project in Ontario, including 26.0 g/t gold with 1.505% copper and a second sample of 8.82 g/t gold with 1.61% copper. The results confirm a consistent gold-copper association and point to a southwest-widening vein that has never been tested at depth. The company plans follow-up drilling in 2026.Giyani Metals Corp. (TSXV: EMM) (GR: A2DUU8) Giyani filed the NI 43-101 technical report supporting the Definitive Feasibility Study for its 100%-owned K.Hill battery-grade manganese project in Botswana. The study shows a post-tax net present value of US$482 million and an internal rate of return of 20.3%. With demand for battery materials rising, the milestone positions Giyani to advance toward development as a potential western-world supplier of battery-grade manganese. Bottom Line: Today's small-cap movers span silver, gold-copper, tungsten and battery-grade manganese, with fresh drill results, high-grade samples and a feasibility milestone giving investors concrete reasons to dig deeper.

Welcome back to the History of South Africa podcast with me your host, Des Latham. Episode 283 and it's 1885. And boy! Do we have a plethora of happenings to report. This is a year before the discovery of gold in the Transvaal, and global events are full of war, innovation, ethnic carnage, economic ups and downs, world firsts, medicine, and a dose of snot and trauma. The year 1885 opened with a strange and ironic trial by fire across England, balancing state-sanctioned progress against lawless destruction. In January, Irish rebels shattered the peace by detonating dynamite inside Westminster Hall and the Tower of London, raining literal fire and brimstone upon the ancient symbols of British authority. Amidst this chaotic violence, a far more orderly kind of incineration took place. That same year, the widowed painter Jeanette Pickersgill of London, a lady "well known in literary and scientific circles," became the first person to be legally cremated in England by the Cremation Society at Woking, Surrey. It was a classic Victorian paradox: while the state scrambled to suppress the lawless Irish bombs threatening to burn the old order down, it was simultaneously finalizing the bureaucratic regulations on how its most respectable citizens could legally burn themselves to ashes. In Southern Africa, 1885 saw two major geopolitical moves - In March the United Kingdom Established the Bechuanaland Protectorate - modern day Botswana. The second event was the incorporation of the tiny Boer republic of Stellaland into Bechuanaland. It was all part of a grand plan partly initiated by Transvaal president Paul Kruger. He had sailed to London in 1884 and met Secretary of State of the Colonies Lord Derby where the two struck a deal. Derby would drop the British claim to suzerainty over the Transvaal and reduce the Transvaal's debt, and reduce the powers of the British representative in Pretoria, in exchange Kruger agreed to decrease tariffs on imported goods and to drop claims to Stellaland and Goshen, thus opening up Cecil John Rhodes' important North Road. The agreement promised a rare season of peace and stability for the fractured region. Yet, its true survival rested entirely on whether both sides would honor the principles they had so recently espoused. They did not. Or to be more accurate, Pro-Boer and Pro-Imperial activists did not. Transvaal commandos rode into Zululand and into Bechuanaland, cocking a snook at their own leadership. On the British side, all manner of colonials looked askance at the Kruger/Derby Deal. One was missionary and humanitarian, Reverend John Mackenzie, a prominent member of the London Missionary Society. He had spent most of his adult life proselytizing amongst the Tswana people at Kuruman and Shoshong. Mackenzie was the Boer's arch enemy, denouncing incursions from the pulpit in South Africa, then back in the UK when he was on leave in 1882 and 1883. The Road to the North worried him because of how dominant the Transvaal Boers were in this region.As King Leopold of Belgium, the French, Bismarck of Germany and others met to finalise who got what in Africa, the British Foreign Office suddenly woke up. They were concerned about the Transvaal and German South West Africa. The British Government did a volte-farce, and sent a powerful army up the North Road. Four thousand regular troops, including the famous Inniskilling Dragoons cavalry regiment from Ulster in Northern Ireland, along with three observation balloons, all headed towards Stellaland from Kimberley.
S'il ne s'agissait pas de diamant, on pourrait parler de « grande braderie ». Le géant De Beers, vient cette semaine de baisser fortement les prix de ses diamants, lors d'une session de vente qui s'est ouverte à Gaborone au Botswana dédiée à des acheteurs triés sur le volet. Ces « soldes » sont rendus possibles par une petite reprise de la demande mais confirment aussi que De Beers n'a pas intérêt, en ce moment, à maintenir des prix trop supérieurs à ceux du marché. La stratégie de l'entreprise a longtemps été de proposer des prix de 20 à 30% supérieurs au marché, quitte à ne pas vendre, toute baisse des prix pouvant donner un signal que le marché n'est pas porteur. Quand elle a pratiqué des rabais, c'était en coulisse, discrètement, pour que l'affichage reste celui de prix officiels qui se maintiennent. Depuis un an et demi, cette posture a évolué : l'entreprise, a accepté de baisser ses prix à plusieurs reprises, et cette semaine, elle a opéré des réductions semble t-il importantes sur plusieurs catégories de pierres et en particulier sur les plus petites, celles de moins de un carat et celles comprises entre un et deux carats, ce sont les diamants qui ont le plus souffert de la baisse de la demande. Le groupe a aussi choisi de concentrer ses ventes sur un nombre de clients plus réduits, en choisissant les plus importants, « pour peut-être les fidéliser », commente un expert du secteur. Ces gros clients, appelés « sightholders » sont passés d'environ 70 à une cinquantaine voire moins, selon l'agence Bloomberg. Le marché des pierres naturelles est en crise depuis trois ans. De Beers profite aujourd'hui d'une petite reprise du marché, pour faire baisser ses stocks devenus trop importants, et récupérer des liquidités. Ce que l'entreprise perd en baissant ses prix devrait être compensé par les volumes vendus. L'Angola, et ses prix bas Pour comprendre la position de De Beers, il faut regarder aussi ce qui se passe chez un autre producteur, l'Angola. Le pays s'est distingué par une production record l'année dernière, ce qui a contribué à créer une surabondance de pierres naturelles, commercialisées à prix très avantageux. Cette pratique tarifaire a alimenté le marché à la baisse. Et cela devrait continuer en 2026, même si l'Angola a dit sa volonté de limiter la surproduction de diamants bruts de petites tailles issus des mines de Catoca et de Luele, pour « protéger la valeur de la production angolaise et le marché » a confié le directeur commercial d'Endiama la société minière nationale, à Rapaport News. Dernière ligne droite pour la vente de De Beers Cette baisse des prix pratiquée par De Beers intervient dans un contexte de grande insécurité pour le géant du diamant. La maison mère de De Beers, Anglo American – qui détient 85% du capital – a décidé, il y a deux ans, de se séparer de son secteur diamant. Les négociations seraient entrées dans une phase finale, selon le directeur de l'entreprise qui tablait sur un accord d'ici quelques semaines. En attendant de connaître son repreneur, l'entreprise perd plus d'un million de dollars par jours et personne ne sait à quelle valeur financière elle sera cédée.

Text Me Here!!!We've got a little bit different kind of an episode this week, I'm on a mission to get through this entire General Conference before Baby gets here, and to do that the only way I can see is by doubling up our talks for every episode.It might take a little more getting used to on my part, because the talks start to blend together, but then I also think, Doubling up on the talks = Doubling up on the Spirit, right? (;I'm so excited to have you go through these talks though, both of these Elder's did such a fantastic job at reminding us how special we each are to our Savior, Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven.******Links:Elder Holmes Bio: https://www.thechurchnews.com/leaders/2025/07/19/elder-brian-j-holmes-biography-serve-lord-guidance-family-new-general-authority-seventy/Elder Holmes Talk: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2026/04/28holmes?lang=engElder Matswagothata Bio: https://www.thechurchnews.com/leaders/2025/07/31/elder-clement-m-matswagothata-general-authority-seventy-bio-april-2025-botswana/Elder Matswagothata Talk: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2026/04/29matswagothata?lang=eng E-mail: munchandminglepodcast@gmail.comInsta: @munchandminglepodcast
As manifestações anti-imigração na África do Sul já levaram à saída de mais de 25 mil estrangeiros do país. Por enquanto, as autoridades têm tolerado estas manifestações, mas a amplitude da violência, com várias mortes registadas, merece a intervenção das organizações regionais e continentais. Milhares de pessoas estão a fugir diariamente da África do Sul devido às marchas anti-imigração que já duram há quatro meses, com grupos organizados a perseguir, incendiar casas e matar estrangeiros um pouco por todo o país. Os moçambicanos constituem a maior comunidade estrangeira que reside no país e todos os dias a fronteira de Ressano Garcia acolhe centenas de pessoas que fogem à violência na África do Sul. Para José Gomes, jornalista e analista político angolano instalado em Pretória, os imigrantes são o bode expiatório dos problemas do país, uma situação que parece não desagradar às autoridades sul-africanas que assim se desresponsabilizam de flagelos como a enorme taxa de desemprego na África do Sul. "O que acontece é que os imigrantes tem sido um bode expiatório, porque sempre que há eleições ou ano eleitoral, esta narrativa anti-imigrantes tende a aumentar e há também aproveitamento de alguns partidos políticos. Nós tivemos as últimas eleições gerais, que houve um partido político que usou a bandeira mesmo da xenofobia. Agora, este ano, como vamos ter as eleições autárquicas no final do ano. A África do Sul tem problemas sociais, tem problemas económicos e taxas altas de desemprego. Cerca de 60% da juventude está no desemprego. Quando esta mesma população invoca que os seus problemas de desemprego são os estrangeiros, isso desafoga o poder político. Então ele vai para as eleições, já não tem muito trabalho para fazer como promessas de empregos. Porque o próprio povo, a própria população, já elegeu um culpado que são os imigrantes. Então eles vão culpar os imigrantes e vão desresponsabilizar, neste caso, o próprio governo do ANC e o governo de coligação em vigor no país. Então, isto é uma vantagem para o poder político", indicou José Gomes, que acrescenta que não tem havido grandes discursos para desencorajar esta violência. Para este jornalista angolano, esta violência pode degenerar e generalizar-se mesmo entre sul-africanos. De forma a permitir o restabelecimento da ordem no país, José Gomes considera que as organizações regionais e continentais têm se exprimir para proteger todos os estrangeiros em solo sul-africano. "Há governos como o de Moçambique, do Botswana, mas sobretudo Moçambique está muito activo. Porque Moçambique é um dos países que tem a maior comunidade estrangeira na África do Sul. É um país que tem cerca de cinco consulados em todo o território sul-africano, então tem uma presença forte. É o mais activo. Agora, esta é uma agenda que já se deveria levar a nível da SADC, a nível da União Africana e não está a acontecer. Isso devia acontecer para a África do Sul tomar posição de preservar a vida das pessoas que estão no seu território, porque embora só estejam a atacar um determinado número de estrangeiros que são moçambicanos, os zimbabueanos, alguns somalis ou etíopes, mas isso depois vão começar a atacar todo mundo porque o discurso está a ser usado por esses manifestantes é contra aqueles que não têm os documentos com que estão ilegais, mas bem, nessa altura de euforia, ninguém vai ter tempo de ver quem está ilegal ou não. Este é um assunto africano, porque isso está a mexer com a imagem da África Austral, está a mexer com a imagem também de África e isso não está a ser muito bom", garantiu. Nos últimos meses já terão saído da África do Sul cerca de 25 mil pessoas, originárias do Malawi, Zimbabwé, Moçambique, Gana ou ainda Nigéria. Dezenas de pessoas terão sido mortas pelos manifestantes nos últimos meses e na terça-feira, data limite dada pelos manifestantes para todos os imigrantes ilegais abandonarem o país, foram detidas 900 pessoas que participaram nos motins xenófobos.
Episode Overview In this episode of DSC's Campfires, host Larry Weishuhn ("Mr. Whitetail") sits down with Phil Massaro—editor of the Gun Digest annual, NRA contributor, and seasoned hunter. The two share an energetic and passionate conversation about the deep allure of African safaris, the vital role of hunting in wildlife conservation, and their shared love for classic heavy-caliber firearms. Phil shares his experiences from a recent safari in the Sango Conservancy, located in Zimbabwe's Save Valley. The Landscape: Sango is a million-acre block of land that was successfully converted from cattle farms into a thriving wildlife conservancy. Wildlife Diversity: Phil marvels at the sheer variety of life in the conservancy, noting sightings of black and white rhinos, painted dogs, bateleur eagles, lions, leopards, elephants, and massive herds of Cape buffalo. The "Bug": Phil explains that his obsession with Africa began in 1996 after skipping the opening day of deer season to watch the movie The Ghost and the Darkness. This eventually led to his first plains game hunt in South Africa in 2004, cementing a lifelong passion. A major theme of the episode is the critical difference between true wildlife conservation and the "hands-off" preservation approach pushed by anti-hunting groups. Phil highlights a specific management elephant hunt he participated in to illustrate how hunting directly benefits local communities. As the editor of Gun Digest, Phil brings deep technical knowledge and personal preference to the discussion of safari rifles. .404 Jeffery: This is Phil's absolute favorite caliber. He had a custom rifle built on a Winchester Model 70 action for his African hunts. Griffin & Howe Criterion: Phil discusses this newly introduced, high-end rifle built on a double square bridge Mauser action (priced around $70,000), noting its exceptional craftsmanship. .416 Rigby: He mentions having a TC Encore built in this classic caliber specifically for an African hunt. .375 H&H: Both Larry and Phil acknowledge this as a highly capable and classic all-around caliber for taking down large game. The Allure of Africa Despite his extensive travels across the globe, Phil remains grounded in his roots. He shares that he grew up hunting deer and turkey in upstate New York. While he dreams of returning to Africa to hunt his favorite game—the Cape Buffalo—he remains an avid North American hunter. He wraps up the conversation by expressing his excitement for an upcoming, traditional deer hunt in the rugged Adirondack Mountains. Conservation vs. Preservation The wise management and sustainable use of wildlife resources.

In this episode of The Wild Photographer, Court digs into one of the most practical, important, and occasionally nerve-wracking topics in travel photography: how to travel with camera gear safely and effectively.If you've ever walked through an airport with thousands of dollars of camera equipment on your back, you know the feeling. You don't want that bag leaving your side, you don't want your lenses rattling around, and you definitely don't want to arrive in Botswana, Alaska, Borneo, or anywhere else only to discover that you missed packing something or have something break in transit.After 20-plus years of traveling the world as a professional photographer, wildlife guide, and expedition leader, Court has developed a very practical system for getting gear from home to the field and back again. This episode covers everything from choosing the right camera bag to navigating airline restrictions, packing lenses properly, dealing with lithium batteries, deciding whether to bring a laptop, evaluating tripods and monopods, and keeping gear clean in dusty, wet, muddy, salty, or otherwise gear-hostile environments.The big theme throughout this episode is that traveling well with camera gear is not about bringing every accessory you own or treating your equipment like a museum artifact. It's about building smart habits, reducing risk, staying organized, and protecting the gear enough that it can do what it's meant to do--help you make great photos in wild places.Products Mentioned + Links:Shimoda Designs Action X40Camera backpack mentioned by Court as one of his favorite travel and field bags.https://shimodadesigns.com/action-x40-v2-backpack-black/Peak DesignCamera bags, clips, straps, tripods, and carry accessories.https://www.peakdesign.com/Peak Design Capture Camera ClipCamera clip that attaches to a backpack strap or belt.https://www.peakdesign.com/products/capturePeak Design Camera StrapsQuick-release camera strap system.https://www.peakdesign.com/collections/strapsPeak Design Carbon Fiber Travel TripodCompact travel tripod mentioned by Court.https://www.peakdesign.com/products/travel-tripodf-stop GearAdventure camera backpacks and modular camera inserts.https://fstopgear.com/ORTLIEB Waterproof BackpacksWaterproof backpack options for wet, rainy, or boat-based travel.https://us.ortlieb.com/collections/waterproof-backpacksNOMATIC / McKinnon Battery CaseBattery case mentioned by Court for organizing three camera batteries.https://www.nomatic.com/products/battery-casePolarProFilters and camera accessories; Court mentions liking a sturdier PolarPro lens cloth that came with a filter.https://www.polarpro.com/ProGrade Digital Card ReadersDedicated memory card readers for SD, CFexpress, and other card types.https://shop.progradedigital.com/collections/sd-readersAnkerCharging hubs and USB-C charging accessories.https://www.anker.com/Court's WebsitesCheck out my photo portfolio here: shop.courtwhelan.comSign up for my photo and conservation blog at www.courtwhelan.comFollow me on YouTube (@courtwhelan) for more photography tipsView my camera kit and recommended camera gearSponsors and Promo Codes:MPB.com - Buy, Sell, or Trade Camera GearArtStorefronts.com - Mention this podcast for free photo website designBayPhoto.com - 25% off your first order (code: TWP25) ArtHelper.com - a photo community to learn, share and be inspiredArthelper.Ai - Smart tools to promo and showcase your art.LensRentals.com - WildPhoto15 for 15% off

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.

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.

The practice of healthcare is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power. Though power can be abused, the righteous use of power, for the benefit of the vulnerable, is profoundly Christlike. We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.

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.
“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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Then, as Stephen Colbert is wrapping up the Late Show, his next move is pretty unexpected: writing a Lord of the Rings movie with Peter Jackson. 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). In Slices: googly eyes are scientifically proven to deter seagulls (and lions), and the world record Big Mac guy has opinions on the Big Arch.
