Send us a textThe Mapuche people of Chile are fighting to reclaim ancestral lands taken over by vast industrial eucalyptus and pine plantations established during the Pinochet dictatorship in the 1970s. Their struggle goes beyond land ownership—it's about reclaiming culture, spirituality, language, and food sovereignty while facing criminalization under Chile's new "usurpation law."• Mapuche territory (Wallmapu) was initially protected by treaty but later seized through what the Chilean government called "pacification of the Araucanía" • Industrial tree plantations have destroyed native ecosystems, depleted water resources, and created conditions for devastating "megafires" and "gigafires"• Chilean authorities use "preventative prison" to hold Mapuche activists for up to two years without formal charges or trials• Militarization of Mapuche territories has led to surveillance, intimidation, and targeting of young activists• The controversial "usurpation law" criminalizes land reclamation efforts, violating international indigenous rights agreements Chile has ratified• The struggle connects to broader patterns of indigenous land theft for industrial tree plantations under dictatorships globally• Land reclamation is essential for Mapuche cultural revival and addressing extreme poverty On this episode of Breaking Green, we spoke with Anne Petermann.  Petermann co- founded Global Justice Ecology Project in 2003. She is the international coordinator of the Campaign to STOP GE Trees, which she also co founded. Petermann is a founding board member of the Will Miller Social Justice Lecture Series. She has been involved in movements for forest protection and indigenous rights since 1991, and the international and national climate justice movements since 2004. She participated in the founding of the Durban group for climate justice in 2004, in Durban, South Africa, and Climate Justice Now in 2007 at the Bali Indonesia UN climate conference. She was adopted as an honorary member of the St. Francis- Sokoki band of the Abenaki in 1992 for her work in support of their struggle for state recognition. In 2000, she received the wild nature award for activist of the year.Photo by Orin Langelle.For more information visit: https://globaljusticeecology.org/brazil-2023/This podcast is produced by Global Justice Ecology Project.Breaking Green is made possible by tax deductible donations from people like you.

Bella Howard, a talented Grade 10 learner from Kloof High School in Durban, is on the cusp of achieving her ultimate dream: representing South Africa in touch rugby. She's been selected to join the South African Touch Boks team for the Youth Atlantic Touch Cup in Ireland in July. This remarkable young athlete's journey in touch rugby began four years ago, and her standout performance at the Inter-Provincial Tournament in Cape Town last year earned her a place on the national team. Bella's dedication and hard work have paid off, and she's already attended a national training camp as she prepares to compete against the best in the world. Her sporting achievements extend far beyond touch rugby. She represented KwaZulu-Natal in soccer, playing for the U13A and U14 teams, and became the youngest student to earn a spot on her high school's 1st netball team. Through the South African Netball Coaching Academy, her netball skills have taken her abroad, with tours to Italy and the UK. In 2024, she captained the U15A KZN touch rugby team to a second-place finish in Cape Town. Off the field, she continues to shine, achieving a 95% average in Grade 9 and 100% scores in Maths and Life Sciences in Grade 10. However, Bella now needs support to make her dream a reality. She is looking for sponsorship from corporate organisations, businesses, and individuals to help with the financial requirements of the tour. Every donation, big or small, would mean the world to her. Bella's mother, Ghita, expressed their pride in her accomplishments, saying, "There are no words that can describe how proud we are of Bella and all that she has accomplished, especially at such a young age. "Bella never ceases to amaze us, whether it's playing sports, cracking 100% in her exams, performing magic tricks or creating beautiful pieces of art... her talent is endless. "What we are most proud of is what a kind, gentle and empathetic young lady Bella is. She is always willing to help; she always gives 200% and we are honoured to be her parents."

Recorded on 10 April 2025 for ICMDA Webinars.Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr FrikkieIn this very important presentation, Dr Frikkie shares some of the lessons he learned about “WHOLE PERSON MEDICAL EDUCATION.” This is, sadly, a practically neglected aspect of modern-day medical education.He looks at what is Whole Person Medical Education, what it means, and what it focusses on. We will also consider a few examples of whole person education, as well as examples of whole person medical education, followed by its application in a secular and in a Christian context.The presentation concludes with a call to pursue ways of implementing whole person medical education for the purpose of whole person healthcare - to God's glory!Frikkie serves the Lord Jesus as a Family Physician Educator. He is passionate about the Lord, and about whole person education, for the purpose of whole person healthcare. He has been involved in HCF since 1979. Before becoming a family physician, he did hospital-based medicine, community medicine, and the training of clinical nurse practitioners for 10 years in rural Venda. At McCord's hospital (in Durban), he was part of the team of carers for 8,000 patients with AIDS. He is happily married to Esther, who loves and serves Jesus as a homemaker and teacher.⁠To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Mandi was born in South Africa and spent most of her life near the coastal city of Durban. With a large extended family, it was in 1996 that her uncle and his family moved to Auckland. Visiting New Zealand had always been a dream of Mandi's, but it took her 26 years to make it a reality. She is an engineer (water) and arrived in Wellington on a work visa in November 2022, relocating to New Plymouth in January 2025. Mandi absolutely loves New Zealand, not only for its stunning scenery, but also for the relaxed attitude that Kiwis exude.

In early August of 1991, the Oceanos was close to finishing a seven day cruise from Cape Town, South Africa to Durban. While sailing through a treacherous storm all the power went out on board, and the passengers were left in the dark in more ways than one. Neither the crew nor the captain told the passengers what had caused the black out or that the ship was actually going down. After most of the crew abandoned ship, it was up to the entertainment staff on board to save everyone's lives.

Il avait fallu dix ans de travail et plus de 2 milliards de dollars pour parvenir, en 2001, à séquencer pour la première fois le génome humain. Désormais, il suffit d'une poignée de jours et moins de 1 000 dollars afin de déchiffrer les lettres qui composent l'ADN d'un individu.Des scientifiques tentent de s'emparer de ces nouvelles technologies pour faire progresser la recherche sur le continent africain. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Durban,Maria Chimpolo mène des recherches en génomique dans la région de Cunene, au sud de l'Angola. Après l'accord des participants, elle collecte des échantillons de sang, les envoie ensuite dans des laboratoires pour extraire l'ADN et déchiffrer le génome de populations jusqu'à présent peu étudiées. Mais il lui est souvent difficile de trouver des fonds : « Le financement pose toujours problème. Lorsqu'on annonce que l'on souhaite étudier la diversité génétique, on n'obtient jamais de fonds nationaux, déplore la chercheuse. Donc, il faut aller chercher de l'argent à l'extérieur. »Une initiative nommée « Hérédité et santé humaine en Afrique » (H3Africa), financée à hauteur de 176 millions de dollars par des fonds américains et britanniques, a permis de soutenir pendant 10 ans une cinquantaine de projets sur le continent.Maintenant que le programme a pris fin, des pays tentent de lancer leurs propres travaux de séquençage, comme l'Afrique du Sud, sous la houlette de la chercheuse Rizwana Mia : « On va d'abord commencer à séquencer environ 10 000 génomes d'un groupe de patients que l'on suit déjà sur le long terme, en guise de phase pilote, pour étudier la faisabilité, détaille-t-elle. Puis, nous souhaiterions séquencer les génomes de 100 000 Sud-Africains, dans le cadre d'un plus grand programme. Nous vivons dans un pays très diversifié. Tout cela nous offrira donc un solide ensemble de données pour que nous puissions découvrir de nouveaux variants qui jouent un rôle significatif dans les maladies qui touchent nos populations. »Le Nigeria a des ambitions similaires et a commencé à collecter des échantillons, dans l'attente de financements pour lancer les séquençages.À lire aussiCes scientifiques qui tentent de faire progresser la recherche génomique en AfriqueCréer un réseau de centres d'excellence en génomiqueMais un groupe de chercheurs africains rêve d'aller encore plus loin et de créer, au niveau continental, un réseau de centres d'excellence en génomique. « Nous essayons pour l'instant de rassembler des fonds, afin de pouvoir créer ces centres d'excellence, explique la professeure Nicola Mulder, de l'université du Cap, l'une des porteuses du projet. Nous aimerions arriver à dix centres principaux, qui seraient entièrement capables de former du personnel en génomique, d'étudier les données de surveillance des pathogènes qui émanent des instituts nationaux de santé publique et de développer la médecine génomique pour les maladies transmissibles et non transmissibles. Nous avons quelqu'un de l'Africa CDC dans un de nos comités. Le but, c'est de travailler main dans la main avec eux, pour faire le lien entre la recherche académique et les politiques de santé publique. »Cependant, la suppression des financements américains sous la présidence de Donald Trump rendra sans doute plus compliquée l'obtention de fonds internationaux pour de nouveaux projets scientifiques.Retrouvez les autres épisodes de notre série :  En Afrique, développer les connaissances sur les variations du génome [1/3] Une étude de données génomiques en Afrique pourrait «éviter des décès inutiles» [2/3]

Les recherches en génomique humaine effectuées en Afrique ont été le sujet principal du sommet de la Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) qui s'est tenu pour la première fois sur le continent en mars, dans la ville sud-africaine de Durban. Comme dans le cas de l'intelligence artificielle, le domaine de la génétique est aussi victime d'un biais dans la construction de son modèle de référence, avec très peu de données venues d'Afrique. Et cela peut avoir des conséquences pour le traitement des populations locales et pour la recherche mondiale. De notre envoyée spéciale à Durban,Faute d'infrastructures, de ressources ou de personnel, beaucoup de maladies génétiques restent non détectées sur le continent. En République démocratique du Congo (RDC), Aimé Lumaka, en est régulièrement témoin avec son équipe.« Nous avons, au début de notre carrière, rencontré une famille qui a perdu environ 14 garçons. Leur peau devenait très noire et ils mourraient. Nous avons pensé à une maladie génétique, et nous avons pu la confirmer, explique le chercheur de l'université de Kinshasa. Ce qui était choquant, c'est que c'était une maladie qu'on pouvait traiter facilement avec une supplémentation en cortisol. C'est dans ce genre de situation qu'on voit la force de la génomique : cela peut permettre d'éviter des décès inutiles, des décès évitables. »À lire aussiCes scientifiques qui tentent de faire progresser la recherche génomique en Afrique« La médecine de précision est très importante »Le manque de recherches sur les variations des génomes en Afrique complique aussi les diagnostics, car les bases de données proposent comme référence des séquençages liés à des populations d'origine européenne ou américaine.Segun Fatumo travaille sur la question de la diversité génétique pour l'université Queen Mary de Londres, et le Conseil pour la recherche médicale (MRC) d'Ouganda : « La médecine de précision est très importante. Un traitement qui fonctionne bien sur des personnes qui ont une ascendance spécifique, peut ne pas aussi bien marcher pour d'autres. C'est pour cela que l'on doit étudier les génomes de tout le monde. »Un médicament anti-cholestérol conçu grâce à des études génétiquesL'absence de données freine, de plus, le développement de traitements pour les maladies génétiques qui touchent particulièrement le continent, comme la drépanocytose. Sans compter que la recherche en Afrique et l'identification de mutations peuvent avoir un intérêt pour le reste du monde. La professeure de l'université du Witwatersrand Michèle Ramsay prend l'exemple un médicament anti-cholestérol conçu grâce à des études génétiques.« Cette découverte a été réalisée grâce à l'observation de mutations génétiques qui sont davantage répandues chez des populations d'origine africaine, et on savait que ces populations avaient un taux de cholestérol plus bas que la normale. Il y a encore beaucoup de choses que l'on ignore, sur le plan de la biologie, et la génétique peut nous apporter des indices. S'il y a des variants, en Afrique, qui ne sont pas sortis du continent, et qui ont pu être sélectionnés à cause de facteurs environnementaux, ces variants vont être associés à certaines spécificités. Et si on arrive à comprendre ce lien, cela peut créer des opportunités en termes d'intervention, pour n'importe qui dans le monde. »Mais si des découvertes sont faites à partir de données africaines, les chercheurs sont unanimes : il faut mettre des protocoles en place afin que les populations du continent puissent aussi bénéficier des résultats et des traitements.À lire aussiEn Afrique, développer les connaissances sur les variations du génome [1/3]

The older brother in the parable of the prodigal son voices a common frustration: “The unfairness of somebody else getting what we think they don't deserve,” says Stephen Tully, pastor of All Saints Catholic Church in Ballito, an affluent coastal town just north of Durban, South Africa, and chairman of the Napier Centre 4 Healing. Loyal and hardworking, the older brother feels overlooked when his father celebrates the younger son's return with a lavish feast—a welcome he's never received. “I think his pain and shame is that he's done everything right. So why don't I get more?” Stephen reflects. “Maybe the father never thought of doing a fatted calf for him because he was just so everyday happy with him.” On this week's “Preach,” for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Year C (Laetare Sunday), host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., is joined by Stephen, whose years of ministry among marginalized communities have shaped his reading of the parable—and even led him to question the younger brother's motivations for leaving home. Could family dynamics and trauma have played a role in his departure? “For all we know, the prodigal son may have run away because the older brother was so arrogant, a horrible person to be with,” says Stephen. “You can go back to the older brother, but if he's the toxic person that made you run away, stuff's got to be done.” Get daily Scripture reflections and support "Preach" by becoming a digital subscriber to America Magazine “Preach” is made possible through the generous support of the Compelling Preaching Initiative, a project of Lilly Endowment Inc.  Learn more about your ad choices.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 23rd of March, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Psalms 18:33: “He makes my feet like the feet of deer,And sets me on my high places.”Then we go straight to the Book of Habakkuk 3:19:“The Lord God is my strength;He will make my feet like deer's feet,…”I looked up that animal that climbs the high mountains, the mountain goat from North America. Do you know, his feet have been designed by God for climbing steep rocky slopes? They have inner pads on their feet to stop them from slipping, they have cloven hooves that can spread apart to stop them from slipping. They can live in high altitudes, up to 4000 metres above sea level. Well, the Lord has made Christians like that too. He has given us the ability to access the high places where no unbeliever can go. The Christian can take pressure that the world is fearful of, he can exist where no other can exist. Look at the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in Daniel 3, where they were thrown into a fiery furnace and they did not burn. In fact, there was a fourth Person in the fiery furnace with them who had a likeness unto the Son of God. Yes, Jesus was in the fire with them and they never even got burnt! There was no smell of fire on their clothes. Often we say, “Lord Jesus, I can't do it, it is too hard, it is too high, it is too scary.” He says, “Take my hand and I will lead you all the way home.”I remember like yesterday, taking a group of young men from a children's home in Durban, up into the high places of the Drakensberg Mountains. When we were two-thirds to the top, the path got so narrow. It was so steep; on the one side was a sheer cliff wall, and on the other side, a fall that went down hundreds of metres, and they froze. I said, “You can do it and you must. We can't go back, there is only one way - forward.” Christian, today let's keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and He will take us through that high place that you are struggling with at the moment, that scary challenge that you have got at work or school. He will do it. He has given you the ability, all you have to do is keep your eyes fixed on Him, don't even look around you and keep walking forward and you will get there.Have a wonderful day, Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Le sommet de la Human Genome Organisation (HUGO), qui s'est tenu du 11 au 14 mars pour la première fois sur le continent, dans la ville sud-africaine de Durban, a mis en lumière le manque de données existantes autour de la diversité du patrimoine génétique des populations africaines. En effet, la plupart des recherches et des séquençages se concentrent surtout en Europe et aux États-Unis. De notre correspondante de retour de Durban,Nous tous, humains, formons une même espèce et partageons à plus de 99,9% le même génome. Mais les quelques variations restantes, qui ont eu lieu au cours des millénaires, peuvent avoir une grande influence sur notre santé.Et comme les indices des découvertes scientifiques indiquent que les premiers hommes sont originaires d'Afrique et que seule une partie d'entre eux a ensuite peuplé le reste du monde, les gènes des différentes populations restées sur le continent renferment encore beaucoup de secrets pour l'ensemble de l'humanité. Selon la pédiatre et présidente de la Human Genome Organisation, Ada Hamosh, on ignore encore presque tout de leur variété : « La diversité génomique à l'intérieur de l'Afrique n'est pas du même ordre de grandeur que pour le reste du monde. En termes de groupes ethniques, de clans, etc, il y a beaucoup plus de diversité sur ce continent que partout ailleurs, précise-t-elle. On aurait énormément à apprendre si on séquençait davantage les gènes des populations africaines. » Et pourtant, ces variations ne sont quasiment pas analysées, avec moins de 2% des génomes séquencés mondialement appartenant à des populations africaines.« Ces études ont été historiquement réalisées sur des populations d'origine européenne et ce n'est pas surprenant, car cela demande beaucoup de temps, d'argent et de ressources, que l'on n'a pas forcément à disposition en Afrique, analyse Christopher Kintu qui, après des études en Ouganda, travaille sur ces questions à l'université Queen Mary de Londres. Donc, cela signifie qu'il faut qu'on en fasse plus, en tant que scientifiques. »À écouter dans Autour de la questionPourquoi et comment faire notre histoire génétique ?Des disparités sur le continent africainMême sur le continent, les recherches sont inégales, avec beaucoup de travaux effectués en Afrique du Sud. Dans des pays comme la RDC, les études sont balbutiantes. « En RDC, c'est un pays où on a un grand potentiel génétique, mais où on a très peu de main d'œuvre, regrette Aimé Lumaka, professeur de génétique à l'université de Kinshasa. Pour le moment, on a qu'un seul centre de génétique, qui est basé à l'université de Kinshasa, et le personnel qu'il y a dans le centre de génétique n'est pas encore suffisant pour ne fût-ce que répondre aux besoins dans la ville de Kinshasa, malheureusement. »Les séquençages effectués par exemple aux États-Unis ou au Royaume-Uni contiennent bien des données issues des diasporas africaines, mais elles ne sont pas représentatives de l'ensemble du continent et des effets de l'environnement.À lire aussiEn Afrique du Sud, des chercheurs reconstituent le plus ancien génome humain du pays

YouTube channel: Sunny Sharma‪@IndiaInsightMovement‬, podcast: India insight with Sunny Sharma.I briefly discuss President Barack Obama's legacy at the end!The contemporary era 1975-the present is characterized by an explosion of the black middle class, black electoral politics, the bourgeoisie, and black academic scholarship. Even with the proclivity towards capitalist entrepreneurship and the gospel of wealth of Booker T. Washington gaining precedent in this era, there were still some critical Marxist perspectives concerning the problems of black crime as expressed by Jarvis Tyner, who also ran for president two times under the Communist ticket in the 1970s. Moreover, despite critical condemnation of wasteful spending of the criminal justice system there was an inability to stop these developments. There was a consensus that Americans needed schools, healthcare, and infrastructure development not more prisons. Furthermore, there was still immense discrimination in the judicial system towards African Americans especially former Black panther members who were considered to be political prisoners. The Sing Sing prison acknowledged along with Dr. Cornell West that prisons are easier to build than to give hope (it is easier to incarcerate than to rehabilitate and educate). However, these were not the only essential organizations to reform America, change world perception,  and alter political structures. The Black Radical Congress (BRC) sought such provisions as public education improvements, economic justice, and the realization of political democracy for all Americans. The Racial Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa in 2001 sought not only to connect class oppression, racial discrimination, and xenophobia, but also to make critical research into black history and why reparations are a necessity for the descendants of slaves. On the other hand, Michael Dyson realized prisons and the history of lynching of the later 1800s and early 1900s was politicized in many ways most blacks don't understand. The consequences of the Iraq War, the disaster of the relief effort for Hurricane Katrina which marginalized primarily black people, and a need to transcend political divides for the realization of a higher politic resulted in the ascendency of Barack Obama to the presidency in 2008. President Barack Obama's ascendency to the presidency in 2008 and 2012 was not just an explosion of hope, it was characterized by a resounding defeat of his critics through his ability and example of navigating complex difficulties in which he shaped public opinion in favor of his perspective and agenda. He was certainly criticized for certain actions and rhetoric, but it was shown through his genuine compassion and communication of the fundamental issues American were facing that he not only cared for the average American, but that he had a plan to respond to their fundamental grievances. President Obama understood the dangers of tribal politics, something he discussed widely at the end of his presidency, but his social media campaign demonstrated that technological advancement can be used in favor of positive political programs rather than become a divisive tool. He advocated peace domestically and abroad in a world in turmoil especially in the Middle East contributing to his 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Award. More than anything, President Obama not only boasted a very progressive, radical, and transformative agenda, he stood as a symbol of black excellence and meritocratic success that showed anyone with an education and strong sense of purpose can benefit from the American Dream.Tune in for my summary of these 9 episodes covering black history since 1768.

Ivan Mazepa is a renowned Ukrainian leader who made significant contributions to the flourishing of Ukrainian culture and the Cossack state in the late 17th century. Because of his desire for Ukraine's freedom from Muscovy, Mazepa aligned himself with the Swedish king Charles XII in a war against the Russian tsar Peter I, ultimately losing the decisive battle near Poltava in seventeen o nine However, in the 19th century, Mazepa became a prominent cultural figure. George Gordon Byron, Victor Hugo, Juliusz Słowacki, Franz Liszt, and Eugène Delacroix created poems, musical compositions, and paintings depicting him as a young man, a political and sexual rebel. This portrayal of Mazepa gained popularity globally, reaching as far as South Africa and the United States. We delved into this story with Tony Voss, a South African university professor, Professor Emeritus and research associate of the University of Kwazulu-Natal, Durban, and Nelson Mandela University, Gqeberha, South Africa Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, and the president of PEN Ukraine.

Welcome to the Episode 47 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime.   About the episode: Imagine your life is just beginning, you have big plans for the future and a spirit yearning for adventure. Only to have it all stolen in the blink of an eye. In the coastal city of Durban in Kwa-Zulu Natal, a grim tale of tragedy unfolded in January of 2018. A 20 year old woman with her whole life ahead of her was kidnapped, her body later discovered burnt almost beyond recognition. The paths of many would intersect as the chilling events that followed gripped the nation- uncovering a sinister never ending interconnected web of secrets and lies. As private investigators unravelled the mystery of the events leading uptown her death, a story of obsession, deception and a history and pattern of disturbing behaviour would come to light. Although many truths would be uncovered, some questions would still remain up in the air, even to this day. This is a journey into the light that was this girl and the darkness that stole her from this world. This is the story of an enduring and exhausting battle for truth and justice. This is the story of a girl who loved deeply, lived authentically and embraced life in every way of form.  This is Siam Lee's story.   For images, sources and real footage of the individuals and the case mentioned, please visit my Youtube Channel- Bella Monsoon where this case has been covered in video format HERE.   SHOP the South African Truly Criminal Colouring Book: https://shop.bellamonsoon.com/collections/books   Mental Health Resources: If you are feeling triggered by any of the content within this podcast please reach out and speak to someone.

Episode 211 - the year is 1857 heading into 1858. Lots the talk about! The original frontier republics and wildlands were being transformed - turning into governed territtories. In 1856 Natal was created a Crown Colony by Royal Charter, Legislation there was entrusted to a council of four officials and 12 members elected every four years by ballot. By the way, this was not only a first for South Africa, but for Great Britain itself. An experiment in election power, although the Crown retained considerable powers of veto. A civil list of those who could vote was more than modest, although the low franchise meant most were eligible to vote. Most English and Dutch, that is. What really angered the elected members was that five thousand pounds for administration was earmarked by the Crown for the benefit of black Natalians. Still, the New and unique Natal Legislative Council sat for the first time in March 1857 and its first job was to authorise the new Crown colonies stamps. By 1857 there were eight, three colonial and five republican, that is of the Cape Colony, British Kaffraria and Natal, on the other hand, the Orange Free State, Utrecht Republiek, Lydenburg, the Zoutpansberg and Pretorius' South African Republic. This was what really clever historians call Balkanisation. Little entrepots, squabbling states, spread out across the southern African landscape, sometimes working together, often competing. Natal was a kind of detached district of the Cape until it was declared a Crown Colony, an inconvenient way to run a territory. IN Natal, most of the Boers had gone, except for the northern parts. IN their place came other Europeans, like the Germans. A few had taken to market gardening around Durban, while Joseph Byrne and other speculators had launched various schemes for British Immigrants. As you know by now if you've listened to the series, quite of few of the new arrivals left almost immediately. Living in Natal is not for the squeamish, even today. Still, the villages of Pinetown, Verulam and Richmond owe their existence to these English immigrants, and so too those of Ladysmith. By 1857 there were only 8000 whites in Natal, 150 000 blacks and what they lacked in size, they made up for by being vigorous, a plethora of religious sects existed, each had its own education system, associations sprang up, and the Natal Bank opens its doors. Soon there were six newspapers in Natal including the Witness in Pietermaritzburg and the Mercury in Durban. There was almost zero industry — and both coffee and cotton had failed. The first sugar cane was imported from Mauritius and seemed to offer more, but the problem was labour. But for many years hence, the main export from Natal was ivory. And as we know, they were being shot out of existence at break kneck speed. If we glance at Southern Africa as a whole in 1857 we would notice that government had become more elaborate and less subordinated to the Cape Authorities. Local Justice was in the hands of local magistrates. Lieutenant Governors changed with bewildering rapidity, but their powers were growing as these little states began to emerge, blinking like undersized infants, into the African sunshine. Federation instead of Balkanisation was in the air at least in the mind of Cape Governor Sir George Grey. The boers were of course not thinking of anything of the sort, let alone Federation. After the wars, the settlers in the Cape were dead set against reserves, the Theopolus Shepstone plan, these drained off labour, and said the nervous English immigrants, it was dangerous to mass blacks in the heart of the Colony. The effect of the Battle of Ndondokusuka didn't help Shepstone. Thousands of amaZulu refugees of the Civil War across the Thukela led to Natal's Immigrant rules. Further inland, the policy of the Republiks was even more blunt.

Né à Mont de Marsan dans une famille du rugby, Olivier passe pourtant d'abord par le judo et le basket. Il arrive sur le pré à 17 ans et fait immédiatement montre de qualités remarquables. Seulement 6 mois après ses débuts en Junior à Villeneuve de Marsan, il est sélectionné en Equipe de France Fira et immédiatement recruté par...l'US Dax !S'en suit une folle aventure : régulièrement qualifié en phases finales avec son club, il honore 62 sélections (dont 8 capitanats) avec le XV de France avec lequel il disputera notamment les Coupes du Monde 1991 et 1995. Après cette dernière, il s'engage avec les Natal Sharks, en Afrique du Sud, et remporte son tout premier trophée en club : la Curry Cup !Suite à cette parenthèse enchantée, Olivier fait son retour à Dax, mais après 13 ans chez les Culs Rouges, l'arrivée du professionnalisme le mène au Stade Français avec qui il remporte son premier Brennus en 1998. Cependant après 1 saison, l'appel du Sud-Ouest est le plus fort et il s'engage à Biarritz où il ramène un nouveau bouclier en 2002, après 63 ans de disette du côté d'Aguilera.La tête bien pleine et les pieds ancrés au sol, Olivier a toujours su peser le poids de ses décisions pour faire les meilleurs choix pour lui et les siens. Installé du côté d'Hossegor, sur la côte Landaise, il s'est superbement reconverti dans le tourisme et la promotion immobilière. Il est d'ailleurs aujourd'hui le premier supporter de son rugbyman de fils !Vraiment, j'ai passé un magnifique moment en compagnie d'Olivier : véritable puits d'anecdotes et plein d'humour, on n'a absolument pas vu le temps passer !Bonne écoute !-----------------------------

You know what they say, it takes 10 years to become an overnight success. Comedian and actor Jaryd Pillay is living proof of the adage. With a decade of performing stand-up comedy under his belt, Jaryd finally had a breakthrough year in 2024 where everything he'd been working on started to click into place. He won the Jive Funny Championship after years of not making it past the first round, which saw him performing to hundreds of people at the Baxter every night for nearly a month at the Jive Comedy Festival. He's also crafted his solo show The Passion of the Curry to a point where standing ovations are a regular occurrence, and his weekly gig at Ground Culture is one of the most popular in Cape Town.In this episode, we hear about how he got dumped on the way to perform at the National Arts Fest, his disastrous Durban debut and triumphant return, and how he became the Ferryman in the Resident Evil TV series.
