Wir sind mal wieder im Trainingslager und zwar in Cervia. Hier reden Fritz, Niki und Flo über das Leben von Fritz während die beiden in Südafrika waren. Dabei steht natürlich sein grandioser Halbmarathon im Fokus. Wie hat es sich angefühlt Gesa zu überholen? Hat sein Coach Felix H. an ihn geglaubt? Und wie war die After Race Party? Am Ende geht es auf Grund von Zeitmangel leider nur kurz über Niki seinen Trip nach Gaborone.

Wir blicken in der Folge natürlich zurück auf ein sehr kurzweiliges und erfolgreiches Trainingslager. Wir haben die 4 Wochen alle sehr gut überstanden. Flo ist ein wenig enttäuscht von seinem Kilometerdurchschnitt, Niki hatte ein paar Tage Magenprobleme und Julius ist einfach nur happy mit seinem abgeschlossenen Master. Danach gibt es ein paar News, Niki wird nämlich noch ein paar Tage länger in Dullstroom bleiben und direkt zum Gold Meeting nach Gaborone reisen um dort 3000m Hindernis zu laufen. Wie es dazu kam und auch was wir zu Fritz seinem Halbmarathon sagen, erfahrt ihr in der Folge.

Botswana's new president, President Duma Boko, has promised zero tolerance for graft in his administration. The pledge comes as scores of Botswana residents join in youth-led anti-corruption protests, urging the government to prosecute former officials accused of looting public coffers. Mqondisi Dube reports from the capital, Gaborone.

“Tug at my jacket – tell me what needs to be done.”Later today, Botswana's newly-elected president, Duma Boko, will be inaugurated in Gaborone – but he still found time this week for a discussion of his agenda with Africa Daily's Mpho Lakaje.In a wide ranging discussion he talks about signing a new deal with global diamond giant De Beers, how he wants to help people to become entrepreneurs, and why he wants to grant permits to undocumented Zimbabweans to make the system more ‘orderly' and to allow Batswana to acquire more skills.He also argues that politicians need to be more accessible if they are to do their jobs.

Newly-elected Botswana's President Advocate, Duma Boko says he is humbled by the support and faith shown to him by the people of the republic. President Boko took his oath of office a short while ago during his inauguration ceremony currently taking place at the capital Gaborone. This after the long-time ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) lost its power in recent elections to the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) after 58 years of governance. President Boko says he is a direct product of the Batswana people....

In episode 282 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed reflecting on the power of light, and why more people should attend academic photography conferences. Plus this week, photographer Dillon Marsh takes on the challenge of supplying Grant with an audio file no longer than 5 minutes in length in which he answer's the question ‘What Does Photography Mean to You?' Dillon Marsh is a South African photographer who currently lives in Cape Town, the city of his birth. Surrounded by the breath-taking landscapes of his native country, he developed a deep appreciation for the natural world at an early age. This has inspired his artistic practice, leading him to explore the tenuous relationship between humans and the world we inhabit. The range of subjects he focusses on is varied, from macro photos of seeds that hitch rides using hooks and barbs, to aerial photos of giant patterns ploughed along the desolate west coast of South Africa. His practice has also seen him explore termite mounds in Gaborone, and the snow-covered peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains. However, he is perhaps best known for his series For What It's Worth in which he combines photography and computer-generated elements to examine the impact that the mining industry has had in his home country. Marsh has exhibited his work internationally and is currently working on several new projects that he plans to publish as books. https://dillonmarsh.com Dr. Grant Scott is the founder/curator of United Nations of Photography, a Senior Lecturer and Subject Co-ordinator: Photography at Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, a working photographer, documentary filmmaker, BBC Radio contributor and the author of Professional Photography: The New Global Landscape Explained (Routledge 2014), The Essential Student Guide to Professional Photography (Routledge 2015), New Ways of Seeing: The Democratic Language of Photography (Routledge 2019). His film Do Not Bend: The Photographic Life of Bill Jay was first screened in 2018 www.donotbendfilm.com. He is the presenter of the A Photographic Life and In Search of Bill Jay podcasts. Scott's next book Condé Nast Have Left The Building: Six Decades of Vogue House will be published by Orphans Publishing in the Spring of 2024. © Grant Scott 2023

La capitale du Botswana, Gaborone, accueillait, il y a une dizaine de jours, le 15e « US-Africa Business Summit », un sommet qui s'est tenu sans le président sud-africain Cyril Ramaphosa. Les relations de l'Afrique du Sud avec les États-Unis se sont tendues depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine, avec le choix de Pretoria de ne pas faire une croix sur ses bonnes relations avec Moscou. Un choix qui pourrait l'exclure du programme de préférence commerciale américain de l'Agoa. De notre envoyée spéciale à Gaborone,Alors que le monde africain et américain des affaires s'était rassemblé à Gaborone au début du mois, le ministre du Commerce sud-africain a, lui, fait le trajet inverse, pour se rendre à Washington et tenter de sauver la place de l'Afrique du Sud au sein de l'Agoa. « Une visite nécessaire », selon Cynthia Griffin, représentante du département du commerce américain pour l'Afrique subsaharienne.« Les demandes autour de l'Agoa sont à l'étude, pour toute l'Afrique subsaharienne, et le commerce continue pour l'instant, alors que l'Afrique du Sud échange directement avec le gouvernement américain et les législateurs. C'est important qu'il y ait une communication ouverte, de chaque côté, pour partager différents points de vue. »Le mois dernier, des représentants du Congrès américain des deux partis avaient pourtant écrit une lettre pour réclamer le retrait de l'Afrique du Sud du programme. Ce n'est pas la première fois que le pays reçoit de telles menaces : en 2015, Pretoria avait été forcée d'ouvrir son marché aux volailles américaines.Désormais, ce sont ses liens avec la Russie qui sont en cause, des liens utiles selon le ministre des Entreprises publiques, Pravin Gordhan, puisqu'ils ont permis de mener une mission de paix.« Nous avons des liens avec tous les pays du monde. Notre président, avec d'autres homologues africains, se sont rendus en Ukraine et en Russie. Peut-être que nos intentions sont mal comprises. Nous souhaitons simplement encourager les pays à parler entre eux et à régler leurs problèmes sans que des civils en subissent les répercussions négatives. »Du côté du secteur privé sud-africain, on espère que la non venue de Vladimir Poutine au sommet des Brics saura adoucir Washington. Car un retrait de l'Agoa pourrait être lourd de conséquences selon Cas Coovadia, à la tête Business Unity South Africa (BUSA), l'un des syndicats du secteur : « Notre pays est l'un des principaux partenaires commerciaux des États-Unis sur le continent. Et notre agriculture, ainsi que nos industries automobiles et minières en ont beaucoup bénéficié. Donc cela aurait certainement un impact fort. »Mais au-delà de l'aspect politique, l'Afrique du Sud, qui a exporté, grâce à l'Agoa, 2,5 milliards d'euros de produits vers les États-Unis en 2021, voit son éligibilité être remise en question à cause de son classement par la Banque mondiale dans la tranche supérieure des pays à revenu intermédiaire. Un argument que rejette Cas Coovadia : « Ce n'est pas recevable à cause de nos graves problèmes sociaux-économiques, avec un manque de croissance et un très fort taux de chômage. »Le pays est, pour l'instant, toujours censé accueillir le sommet de l'Agoa sur son sol, d'ici à la fin de l'année.À lire aussiSommet d'affaires États-Unis-Afrique: Quel avenir pour l'Agoa? [1/4]

La capitale du Botswana, Gaborone, accueillait, il y a une dizaine de jours, le 15e « US-Africa Business Summit », un sommet des affaires entre les États-Unis et l'Afrique. L'administration Biden entendait en effet renouer avec l'Afrique, il y a 7 mois, lors du sommet de Washington. Mais l'un des points qui reste en suspens est l'avenir de l'Agoa. l'African Growth and Opportunity Act doit expirer en 2025 et il n'est pas encore certain qu'elle sera renouvelée à l'identique. De notre envoyée spéciale à GaboroneL'Agoa, cette loi signée en 2000, était jusque-là l'une des pierres angulaires de la stratégie commerciale des États-Unis pour ouvrir leur marché à une quarantaine de pays africains. Elle permet aux pays africains éligibles d'exporter certains produits vers les États-Unis sans droits de douane et le continent en a profité à hauteur de 10 milliards d'euros d'exportations sur l'année 2022. Pour le président du Botswana, Mokgweetsi Masisi qui accueillait ce sommet des affaires États-Unis/Afrique dans sa capitale, il est impératif que cette loi soit prolongée.« Nous souhaitons très sérieusement que l'administration Biden renouvelle l'Agoa. Un renouvellement maintenant, avec un mandat plus étendu, enverrait un signal fort et apporterait de la confiance aux marchés. Cela servirait également de catalyseur pour l'industrialisation de l'Afrique et son inclusion au sein des chaînes de valeur mondiales. »Cinq pays profitent largement de l'AgoaMais le programme connait aussi des critiques. Depuis sa mise en place, il n'a bénéficié qu'à un petit nombre de produits, avec en premier lieu les exportations de pétrole brut. Pour les autres marchandises, jusqu'en 2021, cinq pays – l'Afrique du Sud, le Kenya, le Lesotho, Madagascar et l'Éthiopie – concentraient plus des trois quarts des exportations effectuées grâce à ce régime, notamment grâce aux filières textile et automobile déjà bien développées.Osvaldo Gómez Martínez, adjoint aux affaires africaines du bureau américain au commerce, reconnaît qu'il y a besoin de changement : « L'Agoa a été au cœur de nos relations économiques, entre les États-Unis et l'Afrique, et cela reste vrai. Mais le monde a changé, nous avons tous changé en 20 ans. Et même s'il y a d'importantes conversations, très dynamiques, autour du futur, l'Agoa ce n'est pas le seul outil de notre politique commerciale, afin d'améliorer et de renforcer nos partenariats économiques États-Unis/Afrique. »Certaines exportations africaines peuvent, de plus, déjà bénéficier du système de préférences généralisé, sans passer par l'Agoa. La loi apparaît aussi comme moyen de pression commerciale, pour faciliter l'accès de produits américains sur le continent. Et la décision, chaque année, de renouveler ou non l'éligibilité des pays, ne crée pas un environnement stable pour investir, comme le regrette l'Atlantic Council, dans un nouveau rapport. L'ancienne secrétaire d'État française, Rama Yade, est directrice Afrique de ce think tank :« La critique principale, par rapport à l'Agoa, a été qu'il a pu être utilisé comme outil politique. Parfois ça peut se justifier : l'année dernière, l'Éthiopie a été exclue des bénéfices de l'Agoa, comment continuer à faire commerce en ignorant les milliers de morts, les viols, les crimes de guerre ? Dans d'autres cas, peut-être moins, c'est ce que disent certains africains. »L'émergence de partenariats bilatéraux et le développement de la Zone de libre-échange africaine (Zlecaf), pourraient aussi contribuer à transformer le programme américain.À lire aussiUn 15e sommet des affaires États-Unis-Afrique pour redynamiser les échanges avec le continent

Gothataone Moeng says she knows the characters in her collection of short stories, Call and Response. They bear similarities to her sisters, cousins, and aunties – but they're their own reflections of life, love, shame, expectations and joy in Gaborone and Serowe, Botswana. In today's episode, Moeng talks to NPR's Scott Simon about some of the different lessons her protagonists are learning, and how spending time back home in her village after a long time away reopened doors to a rhythm of life she'd almost forgotten about.

Die Namibiese en Botswana regerings het ingestem om die gebruik van paspoorte vir reis tussen die twee lande af te skaf. Burgers van die twee lande sal nou identiteitskaarte gebruik. President Hage Geingob het die aankondiging gemaak tydens die eerste sitting van die Bi-Nasionale Kommissie wat in Gaborone aan die gang is. Romeo Muyunda, woordvoerder van die ministerie van toerisme sê dit sal toerisme tussen die twee lande verbeter.

Many people across the continent rely on generators when the electricity supply is unreliable in their countries. Blackouts or planned loadshedding have become common in Zimbabwe and South Africa, leaving families without power for hours at a time. But neighbouring Botswana is hoping to change all of that. Botswana Power Corporation – the state owned energy provider – has been working to generate additional power for some time. And the government in Gaborone is hoping to sell it to neighbouring countries. So, could this be a mutually beneficial arrangement for countries in southern Africa? #Africa Daily

Another day, another obstacle.

Welcome to Episode #15 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Bonolo Phaladze onto the show. She is a yoga studio owner and yoga teacher from Botswana. The way that Bonolo describes yoga, as a fairy godmother was such a surprise! But a delight to hear and to listen to her share her thoughts on yoga in Botswana and how yoga makes her feel. As a yoga studio owner of one of the few yoga studios in Botswana, Bonolo describes what it was like for her to find yoga herself, and her journey to find a yoga teacher— it was harder than she expected! Get ready for a fun conversation filled with laughter and creative analogies and metaphors! Yoga in Botswana, here we come! Tell me more about Bonolo Phaladze… Bonolo Phaladze is the founder and lead teacher at Yownn Yoga, a yoga studio based in Gaborone, Botswana. The studio offers yoga retreats in Southern Africa, and yoga classes both in person and online. Bonolo is a Registered Yoga Teacher, RYT200 with Yoga Alliance, she specializes in yoga for beginners primarily because the yoga scene in Botswana is relatively new, and there is a lot of work to be done to introduce more people to yoga. Bonolo's first encounter with yoga was not enthusiastic, it was a doctor's recommendation. In 2013 due to a high risk pregnancy she had no choice but to accede to her doctor's demands to abandon her regular high intensity train for something low impact and gentle like yoga. She was skeptical of yoga, maybe even judgmental, she had never once considered yoga a fitness activity. The first yoga session sparked a curiosity and respect in her that propelled her to keep returning to the mat. What to expect in the Yoga In Botswana episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Bonolo kicks off the conversation by revealing how she first came to yoga, as her bio indicates, it wasn't enthusiastically. She first saw people at the gym just lying around on their yoga mats (apparently!) and she judged yoga as something too boring and easy. Now, it is her passion to teach new students what yoga is and what yoga can be. As yoga in Botswana is still not mainstream, the majority of her students are new to the practice. She loves walking alongside her students on their journey of yoga and showing them that it is more than just handstands and headstands. The emotional and mental presence involved in yoga is where the magic lies. While yoga in Botswana may be relatively “unpopular” as its not mainstream yet, Bonolo describes Botswana as an oasis for those seeking peace, and as she jokes “a place to sleep.” Curious about yoga in Botswana?
