« La sentence est tombée, lourde comme un couperet dans le silence feutré de la Haute cour militaire, constate Le Journal de Kinshasa. Ce mardi, l'ombre de Joseph Kabila a été officiellement condamnée à la peine de mort. Pour "trahison" et "participation à un mouvement insurrectionnel", la justice militaire a tranché. Aucune circonstance atténuante n'a été retenue. Le principal concerné, qui vit en exil, n'était qu'un fantôme. Le réquisitoire, impitoyable, dressait le portrait d'un homme non plus en chef d'État, mais en chef de guerre. La Cour a épousé ces allégations, peignant une réalité sombre. Elle affirme que, dans l'ombre, l'ancien président tenait à Goma et Bukavu de "véritables réunions d'état-major". Il inspectait des centres d'instruction de rebelles et se comportait en "chef incontesté de tous les mouvements rebelles" (…). Le jugement est sans appel : Joseph Kabila est désormais qualifié de "chef de la coalition AFC/M23" ». Pas de réaction pour l'instant de l'intéressé. Juste un communiqué de son parti, le FCC, le Front commun pour le Congo, publié sur le site congolais 7 sur 7 : « le FCC dénonce "la restauration de la dictature" et l'instrumentalisation "croissante, tant de la justice que de la puissance publique à des fins politiques". Le FCC, qui se positionne comme une force politique "considérable" de l'opposition, promet de combattre cette condamnation qu'elle juge "inacceptable" ». Séisme politique… Ce « verdict est une première depuis l'indépendance du Congo, en 1960 », constate le site spécialisé sur la RDC Afrikarabia : « avec une peine très lourde, des dommages et intérêts pour les victimes de l'AFC/M23 stratosphériques de plus de 30 milliards de dollars (soit deux fois le budget de l'État congolais), et désormais un ancien président en cavale et recherché par la justice congolaise. (…) Cette condamnation à mort de Kabila représente un petit séisme politique en RDC, pointe encore Afrikarabia. Ce verdict résonne d'abord comme un message d'avertissement et "préventif" à l'attention de toutes les personnes qui souhaiteraient rejoindre les rangs rebelles. (…) Et elle brise une possible coalition anti-Tshisekedi, avec à sa tête Joseph Kabila associé à une myriade d'opposants. Elle disqualifie enfin l'ex-président, aux yeux de Kinshasa, comme interlocuteur à un potentiel dialogue national ». Un « goût d'inachevé » ? Pour Le Monde Afrique, « en l'absence de l'accusé et sans avocat pour le défendre à l'issue d'une instruction bâclée, ce procès expéditif laisse un goût d'inachevé ». Avec « des charges qui reposent implicitement sur l'autorité, directe mais supposée, qu'exercerait Joseph Kabila sur la rébellion du M23. (…) D'un naturel taiseux, naviguant entre le Zimbabwe – où, selon une source, il se trouverait actuellement –, l'Afrique du Sud et la Zambie, l'ancien président avait finalement brisé le silence le 18 mars dernier, depuis Johannesburg, rappelle Le Monde Afrique, pour nier tout lien avec le M23. La plupart des observateurs jugent toutefois que Corneille Nangaa (l'un de ses fidèles lorsqu'il était au pouvoir) ne serait pas entré dans la rébellion armée sans, au minimum, l'onction de Joseph Kabila ». Et « beaucoup ont cru discerner l'ambition de ce dernier de revenir aux affaires lorsque Corneille Nangaa a exprimé son intention de renverser le pouvoir par les armes ». « Attiser le feu » ? La presse ouest-africaine s'interroge : « à quoi servira cette condamnation de Joseph Kabila ? » se demande WakatSéra à Ouagadougou. « N'est-ce pas plutôt le meilleur moyen de raidir les positions et d'attiser le feu dans l'est de la RD Congo ? (…) En tout cas, les populations civiles continuent, elles, de vivre l'enfer, alors que la convoitise des acteurs et commanditaires de la guerre, pour les richesses minières de la RD Congo, ne fait que croître ». Enfin pour Ledjely en Guinée, ce « verdict pourrait être perçu par l'opposition politique congolaise comme une manœuvre d'intimidation à l'encontre de toutes les voix dissidentes, en prévision du troisième mandat que Félix Tshisekedi caresse en secret l'ambition de briguer. C'est dire, conclut le site guinéen, que la condamnation prononcée contre Kabila pourrait contribuer à dégrader davantage les rapports de confiance entre les acteurs de la scène politique congolaise. Une méfiance qui ne pourra que galvaniser ceux dont les intérêts prospèrent dans l'insécurité chronique qui sévit en RDC depuis une trentaine d'années ».

Zak Mir talks to Dr Kerim Sener, Managing Director of Ariana Resources, in the wake of the recent summary of projects with drilling planned at Dokwe and the dual listing on the ASX. Highlights: o  Ariana commenced trading on the ASX on 10 September 2025, following the completion of a A$11 million IPO, capitalising the Company at c.A$72.5 million. o  Flagship >1Moz Dokwe Gold Project in Zimbabwe continues to be advanced through its Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS"), as additional technical consultancy companies are appointed. o  Drilling companies have submitted tenders to undertake a significant new diamond and Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling programme of c.11,000m at Dokwe; with contracts due to be awarded imminently and drilling to commence in early October. o  The drilling programme is designed to substantially increase the current 1.4Moz Resource and 0.8Moz Reserve (as defined in the Pre-feasibility Study - "PFS") at Dokwe, while also providing additional technical data for the DFS. o  Gold-silver production continues from the Turkish operations (held 23.5% by Ariana), with production from the Tavşan Mine due to be augmented through its heap-leach imminently. Dr. Kerim Sener, Managing Director, commented: "The successful dual-listing of Ariana on the ASX and its associated capital raising of A$11 million, is a landmark moment since first listing on AIM in 2005. In that time, the Company has evolved from a greenfield exploration company to a gold producer. "The ASX listing provides a powerful platform for us to accelerate our growth strategy, broaden our investor base, and unlock the full potential of our asset portfolio. Central to this is the 100% owned Dokwe Gold Project in Zimbabwe, a highly compelling development opportunity with significant scale, strong economics and exciting upside potential. "With a gold price currently exceeding US$3,600/oz the Company continues to optimise the path forward for the fast-track development of Dokwe, deploying all our skills and capabilities to build up a planned annual gold production of at least 60,000 ounces of gold per annum over a thirteen-year mine life, based on the PFS. With a proven track record of discovery and delivery, Ariana is well positioned to continue building a long-term, sustainable and globally recognised gold company."

At BNIC#2 in Hermanus, RECM founder Piet Viljoen delivered a candid Q&A covering everything from South Africa's political risks to global investing lessons. While acknowledging the country's troubling politics, he insisted South Africa is not Zimbabwe, citing strong civil society as a protective force. Viljoen warned against local companies' “stupid” offshore acquisitions, praised entrepreneurs like Jannie Mouton, and argued energy is the best way to play the AI boom. A long-term Bitcoin accumulator, he stressed the need for patience, scepticism, and resilience in investing — principles he drew from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger.

I'm so glad you're here to take a listen to Rachel's stories of her grandmother's gardens in Zimbabwe and her life growing up in Australia.Throughout her life, Rachel has travelled and lived in London, Hong King and Tel Aviv. Now she lives in Manhattan and says she "pretty much lives for cooking and entertaining.  The history of food, it's culture and migration, as well as its ability to bring people together over a diverse and lively table is why I love what I do."  It's been ten years since she and her co-founders, Lisa Mendelson and Monica Molenaar, began Seed + Mill.As a little girl, Rachel's has fond memories of running through her grandparent's gardens in Zimbabwe, climbing avocado and mango trees. This was the beginning of her passion for what she enjoys today. What she began to understand as she got a little older was her grandparents experience immigrating to Africa from Prague, formerly referred to as the capital city of Czechoslovakia.  Today, Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic.  Her grandparents were Holocaust survivors and fled Prague in order to begin a new life. Jane ,Rachel's mother, was born and lived in Zimbabwe until she was about eighteen years old. Jane eventually fell in love, got married, moved to London then settled in Sydney, Australia with her husband. My guest shares wonderful stories of her mother, Jane.  "She was incredibly generous, passionate about many things, loved to share whatever she was interested in, whether with her family, or share with her friends and neighbors. Whatever she was excited about she loved to share with other people. She was a horticulturalist and a physical therapist." Jane also worked in obstetrics helping pregnant women and post-natal mothers.In looking back at Jane's childhood, "it was different from what it looked like from the outside. Her parents had been traumatized because of their experience as Holocaust survivors.  They were trying to rebuild their lives, but it had taken a toll on all of them. That experience, Rachel shares, "impacted mom's sense of identity."Jane was brave and resilient, according to Rachel. "She longed for nurture and really deep and meaningful relationships with people. She received and she gave that encouragement in equal measures."When asked if Rachel felt safe and secure in her home growing up, her response was, "I always felt safe and secure and felt lots of love from my mother. In lots of ways, in an unconscious and  unspoken way, I was always worried about her mental health. I could feel that generational trauma from my grandmother to my mother and now probably to me. And I am mindful of this to my own daughter."This is such a loving and beautiful story of women who loved one another unconditionally, yet there were barriers that couldn't be broken.Though Rachel's mother has passed away, Rachel says she speaks with her everyday. She visited her mother in Australia several time in her last remaining monthsand weeks.  As she was by her mother's bedside, she wrote her most recent cook book "Sesame."   She turned in her transcript for the book and the very next day, her mother passed away.Rachel is so proud of all that her mother did for she and her younger sister. "She was always committed and worked really hard. She filled her time and days and relationships to not feel her own pain."Thank you for being so open and honest Rachel.  It was an absolutely pleasure to meet your mum through your eyes and your heart.Contact Information:Instagram: seedandmillIf you're looking for information about Rachel's NEW Cookbook "Sesame" click on this link and then click on "cookbook" on the top left banner.

Die Regterlike Dienskommissie betreur die afsterwe van regter Moses Chinhengo, wat Vrydag in 'n hospitaal in Zimbabwe op 71 oorlede is. Chinhengo het die Fishrot-korrupsieverhoor gelei. Sy ampstermyn in die saak is gekenmerk deur herhaalde regsuitdagings van die beskuldigdes, wat sy aanstelling bevraagteken het en sy onttrekking versoek het. Regter Chinhengo het uiteindelik in Julie vanjaar uit die verhoor getree en persoonlike redes aangevoer. Die Regbank het Chinhengo beskryf as 'n vooraanstaande juris wie se regsloopbaan gekenmerk is deur 'n beginselvaste toewyding aan geregtigheid. Woordvoerder Victoria Hango het met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gepraat.

In Tourism, Philanthropy and School Tours in Zimbabwe: Problematising "Win-Win" Discourses (Routledge, 2024), Kathleen Smithers investigates the tensions between a school's role as a communal learning space and its function as a spectacle for tourists. Using a school in Matabeleland North as a case study, Smithers analyzes how school tours, often motivated by the need for funding, navigate the complexities of authenticity. Adopting a unique interdisciplinary approach, the book reveals the challenges inherent in tourism partnerships that include philanthropic elements and unpacks the use of stereotypical cultural images. The book provides a multi-faceted view by exploring these dynamics through the eyes of students, teachers, school leaders, and tourism professionals. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hidden fees, high commissions, and driver exploitation have left restaurants struggling to stay afloat. Recognizing this broken system, Troy Smith, CEO of Chop Chop, created a solution designed to empower restaurants and drivers alike while saving money for small businesses.Chop Chop isn't your typical food delivery app. “We're not an ordering app,” Troy explained in today's episode. “We believe restaurants should take their own orders and payments. What we do is connect drivers with restaurants.” This unique approach eliminates the hefty commissions that traditional apps charge—often up to 30% of an order—enabling restaurants to retain more of their revenue.Troy's innovative model is simple yet impactful. Restaurants pay a flat $199 monthly fee to access the app, allowing them to connect with vetted drivers who deliver orders. Unlike other platforms, Chop Chop ensures drivers are paid fairly—directly from the restaurant through Stripe, with funds held in escrow until delivery is confirmed. Customers receive real-time updates via SMS without needing to download the app, while restaurants maintain full control of the customer relationship.This streamlined system offers a lifeline to small businesses, especially mom-and-pop restaurants, which have been disproportionately affected by high delivery fees. “Deliveries have become a huge revenue stream for restaurants, especially since COVID,” Troy shared. “But the current system just isn't working. Restaurants are paying more money to send food to their own customers than ever before.”Chop Chop's mission extends beyond financial benefits. Many drivers and restaurants in the network are first-generation immigrants who often face exploitation in the gig economy. “FundingHope really resonated with us because they're looking out for the small guy,” Troy said. Chop Chop's crowdfunding campaign on FundingHope invites customers, drivers, and supporters to invest in the platform and help scale this game-changing solution.For just $199 a month—less than the price of a cup of coffee per day—restaurants can reclaim control, drivers can earn fairly, and customers can support their favorite local businesses without guilt. Chop Chop is more than a delivery app; it's a movement to restore fairness and transparency in food delivery.Visit ChopChop.mobi or FundingHope to learn more about this revolutionary app and its crowdfunding campaign.tl;dr:Troy Smith explains how Chop Chop empowers restaurants by eliminating high delivery fees and exploitation.The platform charges restaurants a flat $199 monthly fee, connecting them with vetted drivers for deliveries.Chop Chop ensures drivers are paid fairly via Stripe, fostering transparency and trust in the process.Inspired by personal experiences and challenges during COVID, Troy created a practical, scalable solution.The company invites investors to join its FundingHope campaign, supporting a fairer food delivery ecosystem.How to Develop Making a Plan As a SuperpowerTroy Smith's superpower, as he describes it, is the ability to “make a plan.” Growing up in Zimbabwe, he adopted the Afrikaans phrase maak a plan, meaning to solve problems through creativity and resourcefulness. “When something presents itself, a challenge, something is going wrong, you make a plan,” Troy explained in this episode.One powerful story that exemplifies this superpower occurred during the early days of COVID. Troy visited a small Japanese restaurant, where the owner, short on staff, asked him to deliver food for $10. This simple act planted the seed for Chop Chop. “She made the plan for me,” Troy said, “and I realized we could turn this into an app, connecting drivers with restaurants while ensuring fair pay.”To develop this superpower, Troy suggests starting with observation. “Instead of jumping in and trying to fix things, take a moment to see what's going on,” he shared. Identifying the root cause of a problem is key to crafting an effective solution. He also emphasizes the importance of systems, a lesson he learned while running McDonald's franchises in South Africa.By following Troy's example and advice, you can make problem-solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileTroy Smith (he/him):CEO, Chop ChopAbout Chop Chop: Chop Chop is a logistics platform that empowers restaurants to run first-party delivery without the costs and headaches of hiring their own drivers. We are not an ordering platform. Restaurants continue to take orders and payments directly from their customers. We connect them with local verified drivers who are screened for license and insurance and who complete deliveries on demand. Unlike third-party apps, we do not take commissions or add hidden fees. Instead, we charge a flat subscription, allowing restaurants to keep more revenue, drivers to earn fairly, and customers to avoid surprise charges.Website: chopchop.mobiOther URL: invest.fundinghope.com/offering/chop-chop/detailsBiographical Information: Troy Smith is the co-founder and CEO of Chop Chop, a logistics platform that helps restaurants run first-party delivery without relying on costly third-party apps. A former McDonald's franchisee, Troy understands firsthand the challenges restaurants face with slim margins and complex operations.

Send us a textDrug-resistant germs are hidden killers in more than one way. Not only are the microbes invisible to the human eye, in many places, they're invisible because people simply are not looking for them systematically.Doctors often do not know what infections their patients have and treat them based on best guesses, which allows for ineffective treatments and exacerbates drug resistance. Policymakers don't know which infections are most common among populations and cannot make informed decisions about needed treatments or vaccines.This is a major problem across Africa and a new report shows just how complex the problem is.The Mapping AMR and Antimicrobial use Partnership (MAAP), which included the One Health Trust as well as the African Society for Laboratory Medicine; Africa CDC; the East, Central, and Southern Africa Health Community; Innovative Support to Emergencies, Diseases, and Disasters, a nonprofit focused on technology and communication;  the clinical research group IQVIA; and the West African Health Organization, collected data from laboratories from 14 countries in Africa (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Eswatini, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe). “The study revealed significant gaps in bacteriology testing capacities,” the group, whose work was paid for by the UK government's Fleming Fund, wrote in PLoS Medicine.It's the biggest survey yet of testing for antimicrobial resistance – AMR or drug resistance – in Africa.Among the gaps: too little testing overall, a lack of laboratory capacities, and poor coordination and analysis of records. Many records were kept only on paper, which made them almost impossible to access.None of this surprises Dr. Sabiha Essack, South African Research Chair in Antibiotic Resistance and One Health and Professor in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. In an ideal world, she says, a doctor, nurse or other professional should see a patient, test them to see what specific microbe is causing an infection, check to see which drugs will successfully fight that germ, and then treat the patient accordingly.Cheap point-of-care tests should be available everywhere and the results of those tests should be entered into systems that officials can use to make policy decisions, she says. Listen as she tells One World, One Health host Maggie Fox other ways to improve our knowledge about the drug-resistant infections that lurk out there. Want to know more? You can find One World, One Health episodes on drug-resistant infections in cancer patients; superbugs and microplastics; the personal toll of antibiotic resistance; one woman's antibiotic resistance nightmare; how to prevent drug resistance, and more.

Les négociations commerciales entre les États-Unis et la Chine se sont « très bien passées » lundi 15 septembre estime le président américain Donald Trump, après de nouvelles discussions tenues à Madrid, en Espagne. Mais avant un éventuel apaisement, la hausse des droits de douane entre les États-Unis et la Chine a des conséquences négatives pour d'autres régions, y compris l'Afrique. Les droits de douane américains (fixés pour l'instant à 30 % sur les produits chinois entrant aux États-Unis), tendent à ralentir l'activité en Chine. La production industrielle y a baissé le mois dernier. Si la guerre commerciale persiste, Pékin pourrait moins acheter que prévu en Afrique, estime Julien Marcilly, économiste en chef du cabinet Global Sovereign Advisory (GSA). « Si la Chine exporte moins vers les États-Unis, il est probable qu'elle importe moins de matières premières et de biens intermédiaires depuis le reste du monde, et donc en particulier de l'Afrique, explique-t-il. Un certain nombre d'économies africaines devraient ainsi être touchées négativement. » Les pays les plus exposés à cela sont plutôt des pays à faible revenu exportant des matières premières, comme le Niger, la République Démocratique du Congo, la Guinée ou la Sierra Leone. Ces perspectives négatives se présentent alors que l'Afrique est aussi déjà confrontée directement au protectionnisme de Donald Trump. Expiration de l'Agoa  Avec le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison blanche, les pays africains font face à une hausse des droits de douane américains et l'expiration à la fin du mois de l'Agoa. Cet accord permettait depuis près de 25 ans à des pays africains d'être exemptés de droits de douane pour leurs exportations vers les États-Unis, sous certaines conditions. Commerce Chine-Afrique : qui gagne ? De nombreux pays pâtissent du protectionnisme états-unien et la Chine cherche à saisir cette opportunité pour approfondir ses liens avec le continent, dans le cadre d'une stratégie de diversification de ses partenariats. En juin, Pékin a ainsi annoncé supprimer les droits de douane pour vingt pays africains supplémentaires contre seulement une trentaine auparavant. La date d'entrée en vigueur de la mesure n'a pas été confirmée. D'après Julien Marcilly, qui vient de co-signer une étude sur le sujet, « le Zimbabwe, la Côte d'Ivoire, la Namibie, et dans une moindre mesure l'Afrique du Sud » pourraient en profiter plus que d'autres. « Cela peut atténuer les effets négatifs de la nouvelle politique commerciale américaine, mais ça ne les compense pas », nuance-t-il. À lire aussiLa suspension des droits de douane par la Chine peut-elle profiter aux pays africains? Éviter une nouvelle dépendance L'un des risques est aussi de faire naitre ou d'approfondir de nouvelles dépendances. Si le volume des échanges vers l'Afrique est minime pour la Chine, par rapport à d'autres régions du monde, le commerce avec Pékin peut être localement très important pour certains pays du continent. Beaucoup en ont conscience et cherchent de nouveaux partenaires, en particulier depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine. Le Maroc, lui, s'est lancé depuis près de 20 ans et a investi par exemple pour développer son industrie locale. Le pays fabrique ainsi des voitures du groupe Renault, pour son marché national et principalement pour l'Europe. Se diversifier prend donc du temps. Pour l'instant, la situation profite plutôt à la Chine, devenue première partenaire commerciale de tous les pays du continent sauf le Lesotho et l'Eswatini. La balance est favorable à Pékin. Les exportations chinoises vers l'Afrique ont encore augmenté cette année.

In this Hip Deep edition, Afropop producer Wills Glasspeigel heads to South Africa to reveal the story of the inimitable Hugh Tracey, a field recordist born at the turn of the 20th century in England. A wayward youth, Tracey found himself in Africa in the 1920s where he became fascinated with music from Zimbabwe. Tracey became a pioneer field recordist, making over 250 LPs of traditional African music for the Gallo label in South Africa. Like John and Alan Lomax in the US, Tracey was instrumental in preserving hundreds of songs that have since gone extinct. Glasspiegel speaks with Dianne Thram, director of Tracey library in Grahamstown, South Africa; Tracey's son Andrew, a musician and field recordist in his own right; Michael Baird, an expert on the Tracey catalog; and esteemed South African anthropologist David Coplan. We'll also head to Malawi to make a field recording of our own with the help of Malawian singer, Esau Mwamwaya. APWW #590
