Part A of a two-sided mix from two Nyege Nyege all-stars. Nyege Nyege is synonymous with radical sonic innovation. Since 2015, the boundary-pushing Ugandan festival and its associated label have become a vital hub for adventurous, experimental sounds emerging from East Africa and beyond. Its alumni roster includes some of the past decade's most thrilling and forward-thinking artists—DJ Travella, Nihiloxica, MC Yallah, and even New York's newly-elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani. In the process, the collective has reimagined what club music can be. Kampala-based Kampire has been a core member of the collective since the label's inception. Her mixes often feel like a lesson in musicology: weaving together narratives, tempos and genres while losing nothing in dance floor vitality. These talents are reflected in her contribution to RA.995. A typically kaleidoscopic blend of tough percussive workouts, infectious edits and raw, unreleased gems, the hour-long mix spans batida, singeli, bruxaria and countless more urgent sounds from the global underground. Then there's the enigmatic DJ TOBZY. At the tender age of 23, he's at the forefront of the effervescent cruise scene in his adopted hometown of Lagos. Breakneck, unpolished and fiercely DIY, it's a sound Giulio Pecci described as "a delirious blur of vocals and drums, influenced by other African dance music styles but moving only to its own strange, internal logic." TOBZY's mix captures the frenetic energy of a scene evolving in real time. Presented together, as the first edition of a new format marking the countdown to RA.1000, this mix offers a bracing snapshot of a label that has redefined electronic music over the last decade.

What happens when a generation of preachers rises up without mentors? In this energising and deeply personal talk, Rev Raymond L. Bukenya challenges pastors and leaders to take the biblical call to mentoring preachers seriously—for the health of the church today and the sake of gospel clarity tomorrow.Drawing from Scripture, history, and personal experience, Raymond argues that preaching mentorship is not optional—it is essential. He diagnoses why mentoring is often lacking in African church contexts, explains what faithful mentoring should look like, and calls preachers to pass on both sound doctrine and godly character.Along the way, Raymond shares colourful and memorable analogies—including one involving barbecues and pig ears—that bring this vital message to life. His passion for raising up the next generation of faithful preachers comes through every moment of this talk. Recorded in September 2024, Kampala, UgandaRev Raymond L. Bukenya is the team leader and a founding member of Tru Tangazo Uganda. He is passionate about proclaiming, clarifying, and affirming the truth claims of the Christian faith in an increasingly sceptical world amidst alternative worldviews, and trains and mentors others to do the same. He is a theologian, Christian apologist, and missiologist with training from Wycliffe Hall College (University of Oxford) and the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA), and holds a Masters in Missions from the University of Winchester. Raymond serves as a Theology Tutor with Calvary Chapel Bible College Kampala and The Shepherds Academy (an online theological college), where he teaches pastors, pastoral apprentices, and church planters. He is a family man, married to Lynn, and together they are raising seven children—four boys and three girls.If you care about faithful preaching—whether you've stood behind a pulpit once or a thousand times—you'll be challenged to pursue the kind of mentoring that shapes both the messenger and the message.Register for our next in person training event August 22-23, 2025 St Petersburg, Florida Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg https://expositorscollective.org/gatherings/The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. When we learn to share the Gospel, we become part of something eternal. This past September, Samuel walked into our ministry's offices in Uganda. Homeless, jobless, and abandoned, he'd spent nights on the streets of Kampala, desperate and hopeless. He told us, “I thought about ending my life so many times…I just needed someone to talk to.” And that's when he met Francis. Francis listened, and he shared the Gospel. In just 25 minutes, Samuel surrendered his life to Jesus, tears streaming down his face. He received a Bible, prayer, and a bus ticket home. And just four days later—Samuel got a job offer just out of the blue! Today, he's working and growing in his faith at a local church in his hometown. God works through believers who'll bring hope to people like Samuel. But it's our job to be ready to share! Not sure how to share your faith?

Former President Joseph Kabila this week surfaced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, just days after he lost his immunity amid accusations he is helping armed rebels fighting in the eastern DRC. Kabila, on Thursday, was visiting the eastern city of Goma, which has been seized by the Rwanda-backed M23 militia. He was reported to have held meetings with local religious figures in the presence of M23 officials. Kabila, who has been in self imposed exile here in South Africa, is facing the possibility of a treason trial over his alleged support for M23. Earlier this month, the DRC Senate voted to lift Kabila's immunity, paving the way for him to be prosecuted. To discuss this Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Godber Tumushabe, Associate Director at the Great Lakes Institute for Strategic Studies in Uganda's capital, Kampala

Un jour après la tenue à Kampala en Ouganda d'un sommet des chefs d'États du Mécanisme de suivi de l'accord-cadre pour la paix, la sécurité et la coopération pour la RDC et la région, qui a vu Yoweri Museveni prendre la tête de cette initiative, retour sur le bilan d'un énième mécanisme instauré pour tenter de ramener la paix dans l'Est du Congo, en proie à l'instabilité depuis des décennies. Un empilement qui peut semer la confusion auprès des populations victimes, selon Christoph Vogel. Il est le grand invité Afrique de Esdras Ndikumana.  RFI : Nous sommes au lendemain d'un sommet des chefs d'État du mécanisme de suivi de L'accord-cadre pour la paix, la sécurité et la coopération pour la RDC et la région. Certaines voix critiques parlent d'un énième mécanisme qui n'est pratiquement d'aucune utilité. Qu'en pensez-vous ? Christoph Vogel : L'accord-cadre, ça fait longtemps qu'il a été créé. C'est un accord qui est sur le papier pas mauvais parce que justement, il est assez détaillé, il est assez compréhensif. Par contre, le souci avec cet accord se pose beaucoup plus sur le point de l'implémentation, parce qu'il y a de nombreuses provisions de cet accord qui n'ont pas été implémentées.Mais concrètement, est-ce qu'il y a certains éléments qui étaient prévus, qui ont été mis en œuvre ? Il y a pas mal d'aspects qui ont été mis en œuvre de manière embryonnaire, notamment lorsque cet accord était encore frais et jeune. Et c'est aujourd'hui que cet accord revient sur la table, mais il est accompagné aujourd'hui aussi de nombreuses autres initiatives de paix. Ce qui peut créer une friction, évidemment, entre des processus qui ont lieu en parallèle.Depuis la reprise de la guerre à l'est de la RDC en 2022, les initiatives de paix se succèdent, d'abord africaine avec le processus de Nairobi et celui de Luanda. Puis ces deux processus ont fusionné. Deux nouveaux processus sont apparus avec Doha et Washington, qui semblent plus prometteurs. Comment l'expliquez-vous ? C'est assez compliqué parce qu'évidemment, on ne sait pas tout de ce qui se dit derrière les coulisses. Ce qu'on sait, c'est que pour le cas de Doha, le Qatar a été derrière les coulisses, assez impliqué, aussi dans une optique de la politique étrangère qatarie pour le cadre des efforts américains. Évidemment, c'est fortement lié à cette envie du nouveau gouvernement américain de revendiquer sa place en tant que puissance globale qui cherche à maintenir ses intérêts dans différentes parties du monde, inclus la région des Grands Lacs.Est-ce que vous pensez que l'implication de la première puissance mondiale avec Trump, cette fois-ci, ça peut être la bonne ? Alors, c'est un couteau à double tranchant. D'un côté, le poids et la puissance américaine peut évidemment se traduire dans une force capable de rassembler les différentes parties au conflit actuel. De l'autre côté, il y a aussi certains observateurs qui se demandent justement quels sont les intérêts stratégiques américains qui vont au-delà de cette volonté de juste essayer de contribuer à une voie pour la paix.Depuis des décennies, on constate que lorsqu'une initiative ne marche pas dans la recherche de la paix à l'est de la RDC, la réponse est apparemment de créer une autre initiative tout en gardant la première. Est-ce que tout cela ne conduit pas à une certaine confusion et une certaine cacophonie ? Évidemment, cette pléthore d'initiatives et de tentatives qui se succèdent et qui d'ailleurs coexistent peut créer justement cette image de confusion. Il faut voir que si, par exemple, une initiative particulière n'aboutit pas, évidemment, dans ce cas-là, ça serait bien d'un côté de fusionner et harmoniser ces processus ou formellement mettre fin à certaines initiatives pour permettre plus de place à des processus alternatifs et ainsi, de diminuer ce sentiment de confusion qui peut évidemment être créé parmi les populations concernées. Entre temps, il y a une nouvelle donne qui vient d'apparaître à l'est de la RDC, l'ancien président Joseph Kabila. Est-ce que son entrée en jeu au grand jour est de nature à changer la nature du conflit auquel on assiste ? Alors, évidemment, le président Kabila, qui a été à la tête de la RDC pendant 17 ans, reste une figure de poids sur la scène politique, non seulement en RDC, mais aussi à travers toute la région. Et c'est ainsi que son entrée dans le jeu visible et tangible suite à quand même aussi plusieurs mois de rumeurs qui ont déjà un peu annoncé cela depuis peut être un élément qui réorganise certains processus et certaines coalitions entre les autres acteurs. Par contre, en l'absence d'une déclaration à Goma, ce n'est pas encore tout à fait clair, ni de savoir à quel niveau cela va changer les différentes initiatives qui sont déjà en cours, ni non plus comment sera le positionnement final du président Kabila ?À lire aussiEst de la RDC: «Faites taire les armes», lance le chef de l'ONU

Spontaneous adverse event reporting from healthcare professionals and patients is a cornerstone in pharmacovigilance systems. Unfortunately, it is a well-known issue that only a fraction of events is reported. To further complicate matters, poor quality reports present a significant challenge for pharmacovigilance assessors. In Uganda, several new routes have been introduced to facilitate reporting for patients and healthcare professionals, including email, WhatsApp and the Med Safety smartphone app. Henry Zakumumpa is a researcher at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. He has recently performed a qualitative study to learn more about drivers and obstacles for quality in adverse event reporting from patients and healthcare professionals in Uganda. He joins the Drug Safety Matters studio to help us get a more nuanced picture of challenges and opportunities around the issue.  Tune in to find out:Why are HIV patients in Uganda reluctant to report adverse events to their healthcare providers?What are the challenges with reporting via WhatsApp?How can regulators and PV centres foster better quality in incoming adverse event reports? Want to know more?Listen to Henry talk about the safety of HIV medications in this 2022 episode of Drug Safety Matters.Visit this CARTA (Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa) profile page to learn more about Henry's research.Improving the spontaneous reporting of suspected adverse drug reactions: An overview of systematic reviews (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2023)Improving adverse drug event reporting by healthcare professionals (Cochrane Database Systematic Review, 2024) Join the conversation on social mediaFollow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, or Bluesky and share your thoughts about the show with the hashtag #DrugSafetyMatters.Got a story to share?We're always looking for new content and interesting people to interview.

Kutoka kakao ghafi huko Bundibugyo, magharibi mwa Uganda hadi Kampala mji mkuu wa kibiashara wa taifa hilo la Afrika Mashariki ndiko kunapatikana kiwanda cha kutengeneza chokoleti cha Equator kinachomilikiwa na Barbara Gonget na mume wake Gustav. Awali wazo la biashara hii lilionekana kutokuwa na mashiko. Ingawa hivyo baada ya ITC, ambacho ni Kituo cha Kimataifa ha Biashara kilicho chini ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Biashara na Maendeleo, UNCTAD pamoja na wadau wao kuweka usaidizi wao, hali imebadilika na sasa biashara inavuka sio tu mipaka bali mabara. Wawili hao Kwa kuchanganya mbinu za hali ya juu, zinazojali jamii, na ufundi wa kitaalamu, wanabadili taswira ya uzalishaji wa chokoleti nchini humo.Je wamefanya nini?

Can art be a tool for repair? And what happens when exhibitions themselves move across borders?In this episode of Our World, Connected, host Christine Wilson dives into the relationship between art, architecture, and place — and how both disciplines are being used to challenge colonial narratives, spark dialogue, and imagine alternative futures.Christine is joined by writer, artist and curator Rosie Olang' Odhiambo, who speaks about her collaborative, cross-disciplinary practice and her recent exhibition, In Transit: Under Another Sky, which she co-curated with E.N. Mirembe. First shown in Kampala and Nairobi, and soon opening at the Africa Centre in London, the exhibition weaves together sound, image, and text to explore transience, marginal identities, and shifting geographies.We also hear from Kabage Karanja, an architect and co-founder of Nairobi's cave_bureau. Speaking from the British Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Kabage reflects on using caves as sites of cultural memory and of decolonial storytelling and his bold vision for architecture as a force of geological repair.Together, Rosie and Kabage explore what it means to tell stories of place, migration, and resistance — and how visual arts and architecture can both reflect and reshape the world we live in.Listen to Our World, Connected, brought to you by the British Council.

The Watoto Children's Choir is a group of African children's choirs based in Kampala, Uganda, at Watoto Church, founded in 1994. Composed of 18–22 Ugandan children who have lost one or both parents, often due to AIDS or war, the choirs tour internationally to raise funds and awareness for Watoto orphanages.

Around the world, plastics are finding their way into farm fields—coated over the ground in fertilizer, wrapped around seeds, stretched as tarps to lock in moisture and as plastic waste from other industries. It's a problem that has long littered the landscape in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, where a plague of plastic bags, locally known as buveera, is woven into the fabric of daily life. They show up in layers of excavated dirt roads and clog waterways. But now, they can be found in remote areas of farmland, too. Some of the debris includes the thick plastic bags used for planting coffee seeds in nurseries. Climate change makes agricultural plastic, already a necessity for many crops, even more unavoidable for some farmers. Meanwhile, research continues to show that itty-bitty microplastics alter ecosystems and end up in human bodies. Scientists, farmers and consumers all worry about how that's affecting human health, and many seek solutions. But industry experts say it's difficult to know where plastic ends up or get rid of it completely, even with the best intentions of reuse and recycling programs. According to a 2021 report on plastics in agriculture by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, soil is one of the main receptors of agricultural plastics. Some studies have estimated that soils are more polluted by microplastics than the oceans. “Microplastic is a very big challenge. We experience so many plastics and that is brought up by the reason of having so many plastic factories or industries of bottling companies for water, for juice, and then for energy drinks, so they process so many plastics,” said Nicholas Kayondo, who is a crop scientist and a farmer in the outskirts of the Ugandan Capital Kampala. Some farmers say agricultural plastic, already a necessity for many crops, is becoming even more necessary as climate change fuels extreme weather. But for those tending the fields that microplastics end up in, there's a growing sense of frustration. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Victoria Uwonkunda, reporter and presenter for BBC News, speaks to Bobi Wine, the Ugandan opposition politician, as he reflects on the personal and political challenges he has faced as well as his determination to run again as President in the next election. Born in the slums of Kampala, Bobi Wine -birth name Robert Kyagulanyi - first entered the political arena in 2017 when he was elected to parliament with huge popular support, so much so that he became known as the ghetto president. He went on to run against President Yoweri Museveni in the 2021 election - taking on a leader in power for nearly 40 years.But the campaign was rocked by violence and for Bobi, countless times in jail.Now Bobi Wine is preparing to run again in the 2026 presidential election.

Originally from the village of Mutungo, Uganda (near the country's capital of Kampala), Jon Muq's journey to his current life of touring with an Austin, Texas home-base has been unconventional. Onboard the Cayamo cruise earlier this year, we talked to Jon about his childhood experiences, including fetching water with friends and "We Are the World," which was the first Western music he ever experienced. He also recounts the emotional reunion with his twin sister at the Cambridge Folk Festival, revealing how distance from his family has shaped his identity as an artist. He had not seen her, his friends, or any family before that for many years due to leaving originally to work on a cruise ship (the same line we were cruising on!) and work visa realities.Jon discusses the moment he first held a guitar at age 19, which felt like a natural fit. He shares how traditional Ugandan music influences his sound and how he began learning English through song before mastering the language. Jon speaks about his experience with food; growing up, his family was food insecure. When he started performing on cruise ships, he was overwhelmed by the amount of food available. He explained the ever-present googly-eyes on his guitar, which tie into learning about distinct cultural differences between America and Uganda. Like many countries, it is normal in Uganda for male friends to hold hands. This and many cultural differences were learned the hard way for Jon, so the eyes on the guitar symbolize an always smiling friend that will be there for him. He wraps up this episode of Basic Folk with a great lightning round giving us the inside scoop on the best food aboard Cayamo, his dream collaboration and, in his opinion as an industrial design student, what's the most beautiful product in the world.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/  Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknews  Help produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/ Interested in sponsoring us?

In this focused and practical message,  Brian Kelly shares from his experience as a preacher and church planter on the necessity of clear, intentional sermon outlines. “If you don't have a plan, all you have is a wish,” he says—reminding us that Spirit-empowered preaching still requires thoughtful preparation. Recorded live in Kampala, Uganda, this episode explores how well-structured outlines help preachers deliver the right message to the right people, and why relying solely on emotion or stirring stories isn't enough to sustain a faithful ministry.Brian Kelly has dedicated over 23 years to pastoral ministry, demonstrating a lifelong passion for church planting and global missions. He and his wife, Lynne, spent a decade in Uganda, where they established a church and launched a Calvary Chapel Bible College extension campus to train leaders for ministry. After their years in Africa, they served as missionaries in New Zealand, leading Calvary Chapel Auckland. Throughout his career, Brian has been instrumental in planting churches both in the United States and internationally. Currently residing in Florida, he is the lead pastor of WestChurch, a congregation he founded three years ago. Brian and Lynne are blessed with three grown children, all actively involved in ministry.Recommended Links: How to Build a Sermon Outline / Kako Napraviti Nacrt Propovedihttps://cgnmedia.org/channel/the-expositors-collective/video/how-to-build-a-sermon-outline-kako-napraviti-nacrt-propovediCrafting Captivating Sermon Outlines with Alan Stoddardhttps://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/crafting-captivating-sermon-outlines-with-alan-stoddardSermon Preparation: Step by Step with Brian Brodersenhttps://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/sermon-preparation-step-by-step-with-brian-brodersenFor information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.

A mix beamed in from the future by singeli's young star. If singeli has a new era, DJ Travella is its leading light. At just 23 years old, the Tanzanian producer is pushing the genre into fast, frenetic and unmistakably futuristic territory. And while there aren't too many entries in the RA Podcast's 20-year history where you can say, "this has no parallel whatsoever," RA.984 shatters that assumption in style. Singeli emerged from Dar es Salaam's underground in the early '00s, forged from limited resources and unlimited creativity. Producers looped and sped up taarab instrumentals using basic software like Virtual DJ, creating a sound that was chaotic, witty and lightning fast. With support from local studios like Sisso and Pamoja, singeli took root as the breakneck pulse of Tanzanian youth culture. Travella—real name Hamadi Hassani—came up outside that infrastructure. He began producing music aged ten, self-taught and internet-savvy. By 2022, he was touring Europe with Kampala-based collective Nyege Nyege and gaining global attention for a distinct style he's dubbed "cyber-singeli." Like gabber, hardcore and jungle before it, singeli is unapologetically go hard or go home. It's unique and utterly infectious. After all, what could possibly connect pop provocateur Arca to the late president of Tanzania? Not much—except singeli. Travella's RA Podcast is a white-knuckle ride through this blistering sonic universe. It's wild and joyful yet controlled—a window into one of the most exciting young minds in global club music. @user-643479850 Find the interview and tracklist at ra.co/podcast/984.

A Conversation - On a Rooftop - In Kampala

In this episode, Susan Namirimu shares how her passion for sewing became a catalyst for economic empowerment in Northern Uganda. Originally from Kampala, Susan moved to Gulu for university, where she saw firsthand the lack of job opportunities for young people.

Beyond sewing, Mtindo provides life skills training, fostering confidence and self-advocacy. Graduates either secure jobs within Mtindo or launch their own tailoring businesses, building a future of financial independence. Tune in to hear how Susan is transforming lives, one stitch at a time.
