Hear about travel to the Zambezi Valley in Zimbabwe as the Amateur Traveler talks to Rael Zieve from Keep Travelling Africa about one of his favorite African itineraries. Why should you visit the Zambezi Valley? Rael says, "Just the landscapes are quite amazing. I think you should go because the landscapes change. There are still people who live very humbly along the river banks, living out of their mud huts in very medieval conditions, and that type of thing. Even today in the 21st century."

Season 19 Episode 25: Last week, we had Sonny Baker with us, casting an eye to the future of England fast bowling. Today, a player similarly highly-rated, Tawanda Muyeye. In Muyeye's case, having represented Zimbabwe at youth level, his family had to flee as a result of political persecution. A fresh start in England as an asylum seeker followed, which saw him score mountains of schoolboy runs before quickly ending up on Kent's books. Now 24, the stylish right-hander remains in the process of moving from refugee to citizen, but all things being equal, this time next year he should be eligible for England selection. Showing he has what it takes across formats, dreams of wearing the Three Lions burn brightly for this kind and articulate young man. And as you'll detect in this chat, he's someone who is firmly focused on living in the present rather than being trapped within his complex backstory. Australia brings memories that last a lifetime.

En Afrique australe, cachée au cœur de la nature d'aujourd'hui, se trouve la mémoire des chasseurs cueilleurs d'hier. Les plus anciens habitants connus de la région ont laissé derrière eux une multitude de peintures rupestres sur les parois des grottes et les rochers. Des milliers de sites renferment ce patrimoine archéologique : au Zimbabwe, au Botswana, au Lesotho, ou encore en Afrique du Sud. Et on s'interroge sur l'âge, la signification de ces témoignages, et sur le mode de vie de ces sociétés anciennes. « Afrique australe : percer les secrets des peintures rupestres », un Grand reportage signé Claire Bargelès.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 01/24/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS On the week Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s federal holiday is observed in the US, several little non-white boys and little non-white girls had their hands shackled by ICE agents for detention. Reports indicate children as young as 2 years old were detained this week. Across the pond in Zimbabwe, White farmers are asking that President Trump reverse the late Robert Mugabe's attempted counter-racist agricultural reforms. This parallels Trump and Elon Musk's claims that people classified as White in South Africa are being mistreated. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
Today we are heading to Victoria Falls, one of the most awe inspiring places on the planet. Known locally as Mosi oa Tunya, the Smoke that Thunders, this is a place where mist hangs in the air, the earth vibrates beneath your feet, and nature puts on a show unlike anywhere else in Africa. I am joined by Sara Gardiner, owner of Matetsi Victoria Falls, a beautiful lodge just minutes from the Falls and surrounded by incredible wildlife. Sara and I chat about the legends that shaped local understanding of the Falls, what those first explorers must have felt when they encountered this massive curtain of water, the rewilding of the Matetsi reserve, and her favorite ways for travelers to experience both the adventure and the quiet magic of this region.

Ce vendredi est jour férié en RDC, en hommage à Laurent-Désiré Kabila, président tué il y a 25 ans, jour pour jour. Quel souvenir en gardent-ils ? Sa résistance à une première attaque du Rwanda trouve-t-elle un écho dans le Congo d'aujourd'hui ? Les commanditaires de son assassinat sont-ils enfin identifiés ? L'historien Isidore Ndaywel est professeur à l'université de Kinshasa et siège à l'Académie congolaise des sciences. Il est aussi le vice-président de l'Académie africaine des sciences religieuses, sociales et politiques. En ligne de Kinshasa, il répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Isidore Ndaywel, quel est le souvenir que gardent les Congolais de Laurent-Désiré Kabila ? Isidore Ndaywel : Je pense du positif. Le souvenir que laisse Laurent-Désiré Kabila est double. Le premier, c'est certainement le fait d'avoir permis à la société congolaise de renouer avec la mémoire de Lumumba. La mémoire de l'indépendance. Une mémoire qui avait été quelque peu occultée, manipulée, instrumentalisée pendant la longue période de Mobutu. Alors, le deuxième élément qui est le plus popularisé, c'est le fait d'avoir laissé presque cette phrase répétée souvent par la jeunesse congolaise : « Ne jamais trahir le Congo. » Alors vous parlez de Mobutu ? Laurent-Désiré Kabila est en effet l'homme qui a fait tomber le dictateur Mobutu. Mais est-ce qu'il n'est pas devenu lui-même un dictateur ? Oui, effectivement, il y a eu quelques erreurs. La première erreur, à mon avis, en prenant le pouvoir, c'est d'avoir voulu absolument agir en solo. S'il avait pu renouer à ce moment-là avec les grands leaders de l'opposition de l'époque, notamment Antoine Gizenga et Étienne Tshisekedi, et prendre en charge la crise démocratique qui était déjà en place avec la Conférence nationale souveraine, bien sûr, le scénario aurait pu être différent. C'est avec l'aide militaire du Rwanda que Laurent-Désiré Kabila a pris le pouvoir en 1997. Mais un an plus tard, il a renvoyé tous ses conseillers rwandais. La guerre a éclaté et une colonne rwandaise venue par avion à l'ouest de Kinshasa a marché sur la capitale. Comment Laurent-Désiré Kabila a-t-il réussi à s'en sortir ? Vous rappelez là une page vraiment triste et sombre pour les habitants de la capitale. Effectivement, à partir du 2 août 1998, après la mesure qu'il a prise de renvoyer ces mercenaires rwandais et ougandais, nous avons eu une attaque en règle du Rwanda en essayant de prendre à revers pratiquement le pays à partir de l'Ouest, et donc avec prise du barrage d'Inga et avec la coupure de courant. On a pu s'en sortir, simplement parce que Laurent-Désiré Kabila a pu négocier l'intervention de l'Angola et ensuite celle du Zimbabwe. Et c'est donc avec l'aide militaire de ces deux pays, l'Angola et le Zimbabwe, qu'il a sauvé son régime. Vingt-huit ans plus tard, est-ce que le régime de Félix Tshisekedi ne compte pas aussi sur une aide militaire étrangère pour repousser la nouvelle offensive appuyée par le Rwanda ? Je ne suis pas dans le secret des dieux, mais je pense que, dans la situation actuelle, le Congo ne peut pas sortir seul de ses difficultés, sans l'aide des pays africains alliés. Et en cela, il n'y a pas à en rougir. Le Congo, dans le passé, a également apporté son aide à un certain nombre de pays africains, notamment lorsqu'il a été question de la libération de ces différents pays, notamment l'Angola, dans la lutte contre l'apartheid, et lors de l'indépendance du Zimbabwe. Là, les forces armées congolaises, à l'époque zaïroises, étaient intervenues. Même au Tchad. Donc je pense que, dans la situation actuelle, le Congo n'a pas d'autre choix. Il y a 25 ans, jour pour jour, le 16 janvier 2001, Laurent-Désiré Kabila a été tué dans son bureau de Kinshasa par l'un de ses gardes du corps. Alors, parmi les suspects qui ont été évoqués, notamment dans le podcast que RFI a publié il y a cinq ans avec Arnaud Zajtman et Esdras Ndikumana, il y a un homme d'affaires libanais, Bilal Bakri, surnommé Héritier, qui s'est ensuite réfugié à Goma sous la protection des rebelles du RCD, appuyés à l'époque par le Rwanda. Qui étaient les commanditaires, à votre avis ? Bon, je pense que, pour tout ce qui se passe au Congo, il y a une lecture externe hors Congo qu'il faut mettre à l'avant-plan. Quand on connaît le rôle stratégique que représentent sur l'échiquier de l'économie mondiale les minerais du Congo, il est évident que ça n'a rien à voir avec des scénarios de type local. C'est quelque chose qui a été bien mené par des forces internationales pour pouvoir éliminer Laurent-Désiré Kabila.

Subscribers can dive into exclusive, extended conversations from this podcast! To join the adventure, head to BumpInTheRoad.Substack.com. Julie Condliffe was born in Zimbabwe. But early on, she had the dream of becoming a solicitor. Julie's early life was marked by tragedy and hardship. After the death of her father when she was just a baby, her mother struggled to raise eight children in a country rife with poverty and instability. Despite these challenges, Julie made a pivotal decision at a young age: she would become a solicitor to fight for justice and advocate for those in need. In 1998, Julie left Zimbabwe for the United Kingdom, seeking a better life. She recalls nights spent sleeping in payphone booths in London. In spite such difficulties, she ultimately achieved her dream of becoming a solicitor. But Julie's story doesn't end there. After years of successful practice, she faced the biggest bump in her life—a social media hate campaign that led to the loss of her legal career. Despite this setback, Julie found strength in her pain and began to write her book, "Unbreakable." Through this process, she developed the ARISE framework, a powerful tool for navigating life's challenges. ARISE stands for Acceptance, Roadblocks, Intuition, Sacred Vision, and Enjoying the Journey. Each step offers valuable insights into how we can reframe our challenges and view them as opportunities for growth and transformation. Julie emphasizes the importance of intuition and the need to listen to our inner voice, especially in a world filled with external noise and opinions. This is a remarkable story of a remarkable woman. It's a story that just might change your life. It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book! What they're saying: "This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys. It is a book of hope and wisdom for all of us facing a bump in the road." –Pragito Dove "Pat has woven together beautiful stories of life setbacks that have been transformed into spiritual growth. This book is a gift and a must-read for souls experiencing pain and yearning for growth." –Gary Hensel Learn more at BumpInTheRoad.us Follow Bump on: ➡️ Twitter ➡️ Facebook ➡️ Substack ➡️ Instagram ➡️ YouTube

In this episode, Alex unpacks the latest and most dramatic clash between Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell—including a rare criminal investigation into the Fed chief that critics say is really a bid to punish Powell for refusing to cut interest rates on the president's timetable. Powell has publicly decried the probe as a politically motivated effort to bend the Fed to Trump's will, potentially threatening the central bank's long-standing independence. Economists warn that undermining an independent central bank could destabilize the economy—drawing parallels to the chaotic monetary policy seen in Turkey or Zimbabwe, where political control over interest rates fueled inflation and market distrust.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 175 - Embeth Davidtz - Actor / Director In this episode, of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with actor and director Embeth Davidtz (DON'T LETS GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT, MAD MEN, SCHINDLER'S LIST). Embeth's directorial debut, DON'T LETS GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT (an adaptation of the book of the same name written by Alexandra Fuller), is one of our favourite films from this past year, and we spend most of our conversation learning how Embeth pulled it off. The film is centered around the experiences of a young white child living in Zimbabwe at the end of the Rhodesian Bush War, and Embeth shares how her own childhood memories of South Africa's Apartheid influenced her telling of the story. Among many topics, we discuss: the film's effective use of voiceover, Embeth's approach to directing the lead child actress, managing a monkey break-in on location, the deceptive allure of the Steadicam, how the movie was financed, and whether or not she considered changing the title. We also reflect on the challenges of navigating a career in the entertainment industry, and we learn what Embeth has planned next. - Recommended viewing: DON'T LETS GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

A young patient committed suicide because he couldn’t afford the bus fare to the hospital for mental health treatment. Distressed, Dr. Chibanda tested ways to make treatment more accessible. Friendship Bench was born, a program where therapists sit on discreetly placed benches, ready to counsel people with needs. And who did he train as therapists? Grandmothers! In an interview, Dr. Chibanda shared, “[Grandmothers] are rooted in their communities . . . they have an amazing ability to . . . make people feel respected and understood.” In Nehemiah 3, we read of another project that involved unconventional groups of people. They understood that the city’s wall had to be rebuilt so they’d “no longer be in disgrace” (2:17). As Jerusalem lay in ruins, the surrounding nations mocked its defeat. And besides professional craftsmen like Uzziel, who was a goldsmith (3:8), others who may have had other talents—like Shallum, a district ruler—chipped in too with the help of his daughters (v. 12). Just as Dr. Chibanda saw the influence and compassion of grandmothers to make a difference in mental healthcare in Zimbabwe, may God open our eyes to see the strengths of each person. God has gifted each of us with unique experiences, resources, and talents (Romans 12:6). Let’s allow God to use us in building up the church and serving our community.

Teacher evaluations can vary wildly—sometimes they are regularly scheduled; at other times they happen at the last minute before the school year ends. These appraisals typically involve an administrator observing a classroom lesson, which can feel contrived and stressful, resembling a mere "check-the-box" exercise. Frequently, the focus centers on teacher behaviors rather than examining the impact on student learning outcomes and the actions contributing to those outcomes. In this episode with Dr. Greg Moncada, we delve into the teacher appraisal system and explore how it can be transformed to prioritize student learning, better align with the school's mission, and more effectively support the professional growth of educators.Greg is the Head of Harare International School (HIS) in Zimbabwe and was previously the founding director of the Qatar Academy for Science and Technology (QAST), the Qatar Foundations' new Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) school. Prior to his leading role at HIS and QAST, Dr. Moncada started new schools and programs throughout his career, including a progressive middle school based on the “This We Believe' model and district-wide STEM programs in Elementary, Middle, and High School settings. Dr. Moncada specializes in developing student-centered learning models, progressive learning models, and multiverse organizational structures between schools and organizations. With more than 30 years of experience, Greg has held teaching and leadership positions in International schools in Spain, Austria, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa, as well as in the United States. Greg holds a doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of Minnesota, an MA in Leadership from Lehigh University, PA, and an MA in Science Education from Louisiana State University.Our guiding question for this show was: “How can teacher appraisal systems be designed to ensure improved student learning?”Some of the topics covered include:Greg's perspective on the term “teacher appraisal system”Separating the code of conduct from teacher appraisalAligning teacher appraisal and professional growth with other structuresDifferentiating for roles other than teacher, such as counselor, instructional coach, and athletic coachSupporting staff members to step out of their comfort zonesAdministrator appraisal and professional growthHead of School appraisal and the role of the school boardGreg's Contact Information: LinkedInThis episode waSupport the show Remember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information and consider joining our Patreon community at patreon/educatorsgoingglobal!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

In this special year-end edition of The China in Africa Podcast, Eric, Cobus, and Géraud look back on the top stories of 2025 and look ahead to the key trend to watch in 2026.
We look back at the best of Stumped in 2025 which gives you a chance to listen to some of the standout moments from the last twelve months, including our trip to India. We hear from former India captain Anjum Chopra on what it meant to her to witness history being made, when India women won their first ever Cricket World Cup. Plus when Alison Mitchell was in Guwahati, she spoke to the Secretary of the BCCI, Devajit Saikia, who told her how the Women's Premier League has been integral in growing women's cricket in the country.Back in July, cricket was somewhat divided after South Africa's Wiaan Mulder remarkably passed up the opportunity to break Brian Lara's record for the highest individual score in a Test innings. Mulder, captaining South Africa for the first time, was 367 not out at lunch on the second day of the second Test against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo when he declared in their first innings. Mulder was just 33 runs short of Lara's record 400 that he scored for West Indies against England in Antigua in 2004. Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma debate if Mulder made the correct decision.Former India International Cheteshwar Pujara and his wife Puja Pabari joined the Stumped podcast to share how they navigate life in the public eye. They have written a book and told us how the process came about and reveal what Cheteshwar is like behind closed doors.And we hear from Tommy Lamb who has been travelling from England to Australia for the Ashes without using a plane.Photo: Harmanpreet Kaur of India celebrates after taking the catch to dismiss Nadine De Klerk of South Africa and lead the teams out her team to victory in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup India 2025 Final match between India and South Africa at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy on November 02, 2025 in Navi Mumbai, India.

Ep 191 w/ Mark Phipps (Lost In Paradise Travel) – Off-Grid Mongolia & Southwest Africa: Reindeer Tribes, Wild Roads & Namibia SafarisIn this week's episode, I'm rejoined by Mark Phipps—author, avid traveller and owner of Lost in Paradise Travel—who returns with stories from two incredible journeys: a solo winter adventure to Mongolia and an epic three-week road trip through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. This conversation is packed with logistics, unforgettable moments and plenty of wanderlust-inducing content that should seriously inspire your next big trip.We start with Mongolia, where Mark travelled completely solo during peak winter, experiencing minus eight degree temperatures and some of the most remote, off-grid travel you can imagine. He walks us through the entire journey—from a twelve-hour overnight bus from Ulaanbaatar to the northern town of Moron, then an eight-hour bone-rattling ride in a Soviet-era four-by-four across frozen rivers and dirt tracks with no signposts, before finally reaching the Dukha reindeer herders on the back of a reindeer itself. Mark spent two nights living with this semi-nomadic tribe just sixty-five kilometres from the Russian border, sleeping in traditional Gers, observing their daily life and experiencing one of the last truly authentic travel adventures left in the world. He shares what it's like to communicate with zero shared language, the food they eat, the spiritual connection to their reindeer, and why this trip requires permits, patience and a serious sense of adventure.From there, Mark takes us through central Mongolia—visiting Karakorum, the ancient capital under Genghis Khan, hiking in Khustai National Park to see wild horses roaming the steppes, and exploring the Mini Gobi with its massive sand dunes and shaggy Bactrian camels. He breaks down the logistics too: how to book buses when systems are old-school, why you need to work with local guesthouses, what it costs to hire a guide, and why Mongolia is one of those rare places where independent travel still feels properly wild.Then we shift continents entirely. Mark recounts an unforgettable three-week road trip with five friends across Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe—all done independently with rented four-by-fours and rooftop tents. He describes climbing the massive sand dunes of Sossusvlei, staying in open-air treehouses perched over rivers with hippos audible from bed, and driving deep into the Okavango Delta to witness Botswana's incredible elephant population up close. But the real highlight? Camping on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans—a vast, otherworldly expanse where they drove wherever they wanted, watched the sun go down, cracked open beers around a fire and experienced the clearest view of the Milky Way Mark has ever seen. It's one of those moments he describes as truly once-in-a-lifetime.Mark also shares practical advice throughout: the best time of year to visit for wildlife (September to October), what to expect from border crossings, why you should let your tyre pressure down on the salt flats, and the mantra their safari guide lived by—"What nature provides, you will receive." It's a reminder that patience and flexibility are just as important as planning when it comes to African travel.Finally, we dive into Lost in Paradise Travel, Mark's new venture. After his friend had her passport stolen in Budapest on New Year's Day—completely disrupting their trip—Mark created a GPS-enabled passport wallet that connects to your iPhone's Find My app. It's trackable, has an audible alarm, protects your passport cover and holds all your travel documents in one place. He explains why passport loss is such a recurring problem in the travel industry, how much disruption it causes, and why this simple solution could save your next trip.

The Do One Better! Podcast – Philanthropy, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship
This episode explores the work of the Roger Federer Foundation through a conversation with Maya Ziswiler, Chief Executive Officer, focusing on early childhood education, prevention-focused philanthropy, and long-term systems change. Maya explains how the Foundation works to give children a better start in life through early and foundational learning, with the majority of its work concentrated in Southern Africa and a growing portfolio in Switzerland. In Southern Africa, the Foundation partners closely with governments and locally rooted organisations across six countries to strengthen school readiness and early learning systems. In Switzerland, it is developing an approach that uses movement to strengthen body and mind, with an emphasis on preventing mental health challenges later in life. A central theme of the discussion is the Foundation's data-driven School Readiness Initiative, including tablet-based learning kiosks and the Child Steps assessment tool. These tools support teachers, simplify reporting, and generate actionable data for decision making at school, regional, and national levels. Key milestones include nationwide adoption of the assessment tool in Zimbabwe and the handover of programme implementation to government authorities in parts of South Africa. The conversation also covers the Foundation's strategic transition, with a new strategy to be launched in early 2026. Maya reflects on the shift from a single flagship solution towards an early learning continuum, the importance of partnerships, and the role of catalytic funding in strengthening an underfunded sector. The episode also traces Maya's leadership journey from the private sector to UNICEF, UBS Optimus Foundation, and now the Roger Federer Foundation, alongside the opportunities and challenges of leading a foundation associated with a global sporting icon. Fun fact: The conversation is conducted by Alberto Lidji, former CEO of the Novak Djokovic Foundation, who interviews the CEO of the Roger Federer Foundation, offering a distinctive and collegial backdrop.

Remember when 5% inflation was “no big deal” because Democrats said it was Putin's fault? Now that inflation sits around 2.5%—a historically normal rate—the same media is suddenly losing its mind.
"It just makes everything worthwhile with what we did. It just highlights how flexible elephants are and how adaptable they are from captivity to wild, and that when given the chance, they will choose freedom. And they will choose autonomy." - Brett Mitchell For nearly thirty years, Brett Mitchell has lived alongside elephants — first in captivity, then, eventually, in the wild. His story begins in the mid-1990s, when he managed elephant-back safaris in Zimbabwe and South Africa. But as the captive industry grew more commercialized — and cruel — Brett found himself on the front lines, witnessing wild elephants being taken from their herds and funneled into tourism and entertainment. It was a tipping point. Instead of accepting that reality, Brett made a decision that no one in South Africa had ever attempted at scale: he would return a full group of long-captive elephants back to the wild. What followed was a decade-long experiment in patience, trust, and determination. Brett developed a gentle, step-by-step "soft release" process — walking with the elephants each day, letting them choose their waterholes, teaching them how to be wild again, and slowly removing himself from their world until one morning… they simply walked away.
