Episode overview: Andrew Hall faces a unique challenge: building profitable telecommunications infrastructure across one of Africa's largest countries with one of its smallest populations. As managing director of Paratus Namibia, Hall oversees operations spanning vast distances where traditional business models struggle to pencil out. Andile Masuku invites Hall to share on the realities of building networks where "you'll see three fibres running next to the road" instead of shared infrastructure, why COVID accelerated their consumer business, and how recent oil discoveries are reshaping Namibia's economic landscape. Key insights: - On geographic challenges: Namibia's vast distances and sparse population create unique infrastructure economics where covering remote areas requires careful return-on-investment calculations across extended payback periods. - On competitive landscape: Operating alongside two state-owned enterprises creates complex market dynamics where regulatory considerations and different organisational mandates influence infrastructure deployment strategies. - On infrastructure sharing: Despite logical benefits, competitive dynamics often result in duplicated infrastructure: "three towers standing next to each other" rather than collaborative deployment approaches. - On consumer versus enterprise: Traditional enterprise focus (75% of business) provided stability, but consumer growth since 2016 now drives expansion, particularly accelerated during COVID-19 periods. - On technology transitions: Moving from WiMAX limitations (4-10 Mbps) to fibre required strategic timing; balancing asset sweating against customer retention as bandwidth demands increased around 2018. Notable moments: 1. Hall's description of infrastructure redundancy: "If you drive down the road, you'll see three fibres running next to the road. If you're driving from one town to the other, you'll see two or three towers standing next to each other" 2. The COVID-19 catalyst: Consumer business performed "very, very well" as people became "100% reliant, work-wise, education-wise, entertainment-wise on connectivity" 3. Recent oil discoveries creating positive economic outlook with increased foreign investment interest and improved business confidence The development question: Hall addresses the expectation that telecoms should "unlock growth economically for an entire nation" by emphasising education as the foundation. Paratus's corporate social responsibility focuses on educational sector connectivity because "for children to have access to the internet, it makes the world a lot smaller." His perspective reflects broader African infrastructure challenges: balancing commercial sustainability with development impact, managing investor expectations whilst serving diverse stakeholder needs, and building institutional capacity in environments with limited technical specialisation. "I think access to the internet plays a crucial role. And I think it starts at grass root level in the form of education... for children to have access to the internet, it makes the world a lot smaller." Image credit: Paratus Namibia

Interview with Andre Liebenberg, Executive Director & CEO of Yellow Cake PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/slow-supply-fast-demand-uraniums-new-investment-reality-7136Recording date: 7th July 2025Yellow Cake presents a compelling pure-play uranium investment opportunity positioned to capitalize on structural supply-demand imbalances in the global uranium market. The London-listed company holds approximately 22 million pounds of physical uranium stored primarily in Canada and France, providing direct exposure to uranium price appreciation without operational mining risks.The investment thesis centers on a fundamental supply deficit that is expected to persist for 3-5 years. Current global uranium production delivers approximately 165 million pounds annually against demand of 180 million pounds and rising, creating an immediate gap of 15 million pounds that is projected to widen as nuclear capacity expansion accelerates globally. China alone is constructing 26-28 reactors simultaneously, while technology companies increasingly turn to nuclear power for reliable, clean electricity to power data centers and artificial intelligence operations.Technology sector involvement represents a transformative catalyst for uranium demand. Amazon's $20 billion commitment to data center complexes alone represents half the market capitalization of the entire uranium sector, highlighting the scale of capital these companies are willing to deploy for energy security. As CEO Andre Liebenberg notes, "If a tech company had to put 20 billion dollars into the mining space, you could build a pretty big project for that." This suggests technology companies possess sufficient resources to directly address supply constraints through upstream investments if fuel security becomes a constraint to their operations.Supply-side constraints appear particularly acute given the limited number of producing jurisdictions. Five countries produce 90% of global uranium, with Kazakhstan accounting for approximately half of world production. Much of this flows to China and Russia, creating a "bifurcated market" where Western utilities face increasing competition for uranium supplies. As Liebenberg explains, "Kazakhstan, half their material goes to China. If you include Russia, it's probably closer to 2/3. Namibia, the two operating mines in Namibia are both owned by the Chinese that goes to China."Critical inventory depletion adds urgency to the supply situation. US utilities now hold approximately two years or less of uranium reserves against an 18-24 month fuel cycle, representing what Liebenberg characterizes as "the low point of their infantry." This follows nearly a decade of utilities contracting below consumption levels, a practice that cannot continue indefinitely. The eventual resumption of utility contracting represents a key catalyst for uranium price appreciation.Yellow Cake's strategic positioning provides multiple competitive advantages. The company's agreement with Kazatomprom allows $100 million annual uranium acquisitions at spot prices through 2027, providing assured access to supply in an increasingly thin market. As Liebenberg observes, "With the spot market today, you saw Sprott raise $200 million and the spot market popped $7 without them spending a penny. It's a very thin and liquid market. So $100 million volume will move the price."The company's track record demonstrates strategy effectiveness. Yellow Cake raised $200 million at IPO when uranium traded at $21 per pound and has grown to over $1.5 billion in market capitalization with uranium at $76 per pound. Liebenberg expresses confidence in continued appreciation: "I'm still of the belief that we could see a doubling in the uranium price. We're sort of partway through that journey."Government policy support for nuclear expansion, including the World Bank's decision to resume nuclear project funding and support from 14 major banks for tripling nuclear capacity, creates favorable regulatory tailwinds. Small modular reactor development adds another demand catalyst, with commercial operation possible by the end of the decade.Yellow Cake PLC offers investors direct uranium exposure through a transparent, risk-controlled business model positioned to benefit from structural supply-demand imbalances and technology sector-driven demand growth over the next 3-5 years.View Yellow Cake's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/yellow-cake-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Bei der fehlenden Aufarbeitung von Menschheitsverbrechen kommt auch den Kirchen eine Rolle zu. Auf dem Balkan leugnet die serbisch-orthodoxe Kirche den Völkermord in Srebrenica.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Things change when a community comes together. We see this time and time again in our neighborhoods, cities, and country. And this very same principle applies to telling others about Jesus. We're stronger together. In Namibia, Africa, this is happening all across the country. But I'd love to share with you an example of the local churches. They came together for an evangelism training event for children's workers, where they taught Hope For Kids, a program that disciples children to share their faith. And then, they took it back to their churches and started implementing it. And children in the community's lives started to change. And through that, the community started to change. This was all because Christians like you and me decided to come together and make an impact. And these believers were part of over 4 million children hearing the Gospel this past year worldwide. And we praise God for that! For more on how you can learn to share your faith, visit sharelife.today.

In his latest interview with BizNews, US intelligence analyst, retired Colonel Chris Wyatt, dissects the latest visit by yet another Afrikaner delegation to the White House; reveals that more Afrikaner refugees have arrived in the US in recent days, but warns that people's expectations of this programme are “wildly unrealistic”. He also gives the backstory to US President Donald Trump threatening to pull subsidies to billionaire Elon Musk companies. On the military front he has high praise for the US strikes on Iran, but a scathing verdict on the state of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). “And this is a consequence of racist policies and underfunding. The two have played a major role in destroying the South African National Defense Force. And it's embarrassing, but the South African National Defense Force couldn't defeat Namibia right now, might even not be able to beat Lesotho or Eswatini.” He further warns that South Africa had “a dress rehearsal at a coup d'etat” in July of 2021 in KwaZulu-Natal and in parts of Gauteng - and says: “And I think there are elements inside the government that are disloyal to the government of South Africa. And we saw that play out in July 2021. And they're still there. No one has removed these people. And if the proverbial cow dung hits the fan, I think we'll see where people's true loyalties lie, which might frighten a lot of South Africans.”

Una ola de calor azota a Europa estos días con temperaturas que superan los 40°C a la sombra. En Francia, esta canícula coincide con la entrada en vigor de un decreto que obliga a las empresas a proteger mejor a sus empleados de los efectos del calor. Después de España e Italia, Francia se suma a la lista de países que implementan nuevas medidas para prevenir el estrés térmico en el trabajo. El nuevo decreto entró en vigor justo en plena ola de calor en Europa, con temperaturas que superan los 40°C en varios países, y es una respuesta a la nueva realidad climática francesa, justificó la ministra de Trabajo. Desde el año 2000, la frecuencia de las olas de calor se ha duplicado en Francia. Y esta tendencia se agravará si el calentamiento global sigue su trayectoria actual. Desde el 1° de julio, las empresas tienen la obligación de mitigar los riesgos durante las olas de calor con una serie de medidas que incluyen: Cambio de horario laboral Pausas más frecuentes Reducción de la exposición al sol Entrega de 3 litros de agua por día por trabajador. Dichas medidas son bienvenidas, comenta Jean-Pascal François, secretario de la federación de albañiles del sindicato CGT. El sindicalista pide ahora ir más allá y fijar límites precisos de temperatura a partir los de cuales habría que cesar de trabajar. "En caso de que el calor ponga en peligro a los trabajadores, pedimos que las empresas asuman las consecuencias del descanso laboral. Podríamos también desarrollar ropa ventilada como en Japón donde los albañiles tienen chalecos con mini ventiladores. En Catar, país del cual soy muy crítico, evalúan la temperatura, la humedad, los tiempos de pausas. Son cosas que deben inspirarnos”, dijo a RFI. Para medir adecuadamente los riesgos del calor para el cuerpo humano, la temperatura del aire sola no es un criterio insuficiente. Catar por ejemplo utiliza como referencia desde 2021 la temperatura de bulbo húmedo. Un índice que incluye también la radiación solar, la velocidad del viento y la tasa de humedad. Y en Catar, se suspenden las actividades laborales si este índice supera 32.1 grados Celsius. Otros países también como Sudáfrica o Mozambique fijaron límites de temperatura a partir de los cuales se toman medidas como paralizar algunas actividades. “En Túnez, Namibia o isla de Mauricio, se reconocen oficialmente algunas patologías vinculadas al calor como enfermedades profesionales. En Brasil, México, Chile y Costa Rica se han fijado límites de temperatura o se han instaurado medidas de adaptación, como reforzar el monitoreo médico de los trabajadores más expuestos al calor. Muchos países no han fijado umbrales de temperatura, pero sí han impuesto obligaciones a los empleadores para proteger a los trabajadores del calor excesivo”, observa Dafné Papandrea, experta en la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, OIT. Además de la deshidratación, los golpes de calor, la agravación de patologías como hipertensión o enfermedades renales y las enfermedades cardiovasculares son algunos de los riesgos a los que se exponen los trabajadores en caso de calor extremo.

One in three adult pornography users are exposed to violent or abusive content online, with the majority backing new legislation to prevent publication of harmful content. That's according to a survey out today from the British Board of Film Classification. It's also the first meeting today of the Independent Pornography Review Taskforce led by the Conservative peer Baroness Gabby Bertin. Four months on from the publication of her government commissioned review into the challenge of regulating online pornography, Baroness Bertin joins Clare McDonnell in the studio to discuss what's been happening. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said 'we must act now' as he announced a national investigation into maternity care in England. The inquiry, which will look at the ten worst-performing services in the country, as well as the entire maternity system, is designed to be a rapid review reporting by December this year. Families say they feel let down by a system that's supposed to care them and midwives have told us they dread going in to work because of pressures and lack of resources. So will this investigation bring about the lasting change that parents and professionals so badly want? Clare hears from BBC Investigative Journalist Divya Talwar and Clare Walton, chief executive of the Royal College of Midwives.Cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world with speeds of around 70 miles per hour. Over the past 100 years, the cheetah population has drastically reduced by 90 per cent and it's estimated that there are less than 7,000 animals still left. Clare speaks to Dr Laurie Marker, who has made it her mission to ensure their survival. She's the executive director of the Cheetah Conservation Fund based in Namibia. The bullet bra has made a recent return to the catwalk and to the cover of British Vogue, where singer Dua Lipa can be seen sporting a blush satin Miu Miu creation in the July issue. But will the silhouette, once favoured by Marilyn Monroe and Madonna, cut through to the high street? And what does that mean for the comfortable t-shirt bras that have been going strong since lockdown? Julia Hobbs, British Vogue's contributing senior fashion features editor has recently road-tested the bullet bra. She joins Clare to discuss the experience, along with Karolina Laskowska, a lingerie designer and the director of The Underpinnings Museum. Presenter: Clare McDonnell Producer: Andrea Kidd

Justin Huhn, Founder and Publisher of the Uranium Insider, joins me for yet another very comprehensive macro update on the supply and demand fundamentals for uranium and the nuclear fuel sector, how the longer-term contracting cycle is setting up with utility companies, and what he is watching and how he is positioning in the uranium equities as we've started to see a bounce across the sector the last 2 months. This is a longer-format discussion building upon our prior conversations in 2024, because even more key news and developments have been announced in the nuclear and uranium sector.   We start off reviewing the 4 executive orders out of the Trump Administration in May that deal with the nuclear and uranium industries, and what this means for the sector and public perception.   We spend some time discussing both the tailwinds from the broader generalist interest in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and nuclear stocks, but also make the larger point about the attractive supply/demand fundamentals that already existed and still exist, even without AI datacenter electricity demand or even modeling in the SMRS.  The global reactor fleet is only continuing to grow,  with more new reactor builds in the East, plus mine restarts and mine extensions.  There are growing initiatives globally,  coming out of the COP29 conference for many nations to triple their nuclear power capacity by 2050.   Transitioning over the supply environment from the uranium mining companies, we've seen a flurry of news all year out of US and African producers struggling to ramp up production, noting the slower than anticipated restart of the Langer Heinrich Mine operated in Namibia by Paladin Energy (ASX: PDN) (OTCQX: PALAF). Additionally, with Kazakhstan being the largest uranium swing producer via Kazatomprom, we've seen guidance lowered the last couple years due to a shortfall of sulphuric acid, and increased taxes on production, with both expected to crimp output.  Then, there were even more surprises when Kazatomprom announced a big decrease in their JV production for Canada with Cameco (CCO.V) (CCJ).      Next we point out that large development projects in the Athabasca Basin of Canada, like the Phoenix Project held by Denison Mines (TSX: DML) (NYSE: DNN), and in specific the Arrow Project from NexGen Energy (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE), initially anticipated to start bringing on production by 2028 are also seeing timelines get pushed back to 2030 or later. There is very little new supply coming online globally, with the exception of some smaller production out of the US and Australian producers. All of this points to a much more constrained output from global uranium producers, even in face of growing demand.   Wrapping up, Justin weighs in on which types and what stage of uranium mining stocks have his interest, and why he remains bullish on US producers and developers, and select Canadian developers and explorers.   Click here to visit the Uranium Insider website.

Have you ever wondered what happens when cutting-edge network technology meets the rugged frontlines of wildlife conservation? In this episode, I sat down with Sophie Maxwell, the driving force behind the Connected Conservation Foundation, to understand how digital infrastructure and real-time data are changing the odds for endangered species and local communities across more than a dozen countries. Sophie walked me through the journey from a desperate battle to protect rhinos in South Africa's Sabi Sand Nature Reserve to a global blueprint now safeguarding elephants, gorillas, and countless other species in landscapes as remote as Namibia and Papua New Guinea. She explained how early experiments with network connectivity, sensors and satellite imagery grew into robust systems that give conservation teams live visibility across vast, rugged reserves — the same technology helping rangers detect poachers before they strike, monitor ecosystem health, and manage human-wildlife conflict more intelligently. This conversation shed light not only on the hardware and software powering this revolution but also on how it uplifts the people living closest to these protected places. Sophie shared how Cisco's Networking Academy is training a new generation of protected area technicians, offering communities meaningful careers that keep vital technology running and wildlife safe. It's a story that flips the usual narrative of technology replacing people and shows instead how it can amplify human impact where it's needed most. Looking ahead, we discussed how advancements in AI and satellite imaging could unlock an even sharper understanding of changing landscapes, climate impacts, and species migration patterns, driving better conservation decisions at scale. For Sophie, what surprises her most isn't just the power of each new tool, but the way combining them turns data into actionable insight, trust and resilience for ecosystems and local people alike. If you've ever doubted that networks and sensors could help save a rhino or an elephant, or questioned whether technology can truly serve nature rather than exploit it, this episode will make you think again. What role do you see for digital innovation in addressing our planet's most urgent environmental challenges? Join the conversation and share your thoughts.
