Podcast appearances and mentions of Kenneth Kaunda

Zakaj je Jugoslavija v okviru svoje neuvrščene politike razvila tako močno ekonomsko sodelovanje z Zambijo, da prestolnico te države še danes krasi značilna jugoslovanska arhitektura? Ter kako so v Zambiji živeli in delovali jugoslovanski delavci ter kakšne spomine nanje gojijo njihovi zambijski kolegi?Po razkolu s Sovjetsko zvezo leta 1948 se je naša nekdanja država, socialistična Jugoslavija, znašla odrezana od vzhodnega bloka in prisiljena je bila iskati druge geopolitične zaveznike. Če se je sprva naslonila predvsem na zahodne sile, pa so opažanja jugoslovanskih diplomatov in poročila naših dopisnikov iz držav tretjega sveta jugoslovansko vodstvo kaj hitro prepričala v to, da bi bilo vredno sodelovanje krepiti tudi z državami globalnega juga, s katerimi so Jugoslavijo v marsikaterem primeru povezovali tako geopolitični kot ekonomski interesi. V tem kontekstu pa se lepo število Jugoslovanov ni znašlo le na gradbiščih v Libiji, Egiptu in Iraku, ampak tudi v veliko manj gospodarsko razviti podsaharski Afriki. Že v eni od preteklih oddaj Sledi časa (Jugoslovansko poslovanje v podsaharski Afriki) smo zarisali, zakaj in kako se je socialistična evropska država sploh lotila ekonomskega povezovanja s tem najrevnejšim delom sveta, ki se je postopno osvobajal kolonialnega jarma, v tokratni oddaji pa se bomo posvetili najbolj intenzivnemu primeru tega sodelovanja, in sicer jugoslovanskemu poslovanju v Zambiji, katere prestolnica se še danes - ko je tam sicer vedno bolj čutiti močno kitajsko prisotnost - kiti z značilno jugoslovansko arhitekturo.O tem, kaj vse so jugoslovanska podjetja počela v Zambiji ter kako so se tam znašli ter živeli mnogi Jugoslovani, ki so prihajali izvajat ta dela in usposabljat lokalno prebivalstvo, o tem, zakaj jih imajo zambijski sodelavci še danes v lepem spominu, pa tudi o nekaterih manj krepostnih aspektih njihovega »zambijskega« življenja, ki mu marsikdaj ni manjkalo tudi veseljačenja, polnega alkohola in celo kupovanja spolnih uslug, bomo v tokratni oddaji govorili s pomočjo srbskega zgodovinarja dr. Gorana Musića, ki ste ga lahko ravnokar slišali, in irskega socialnega zgodovinarja dr. Roryja Archerja. Oba prihajata z Univerze na Dunaju, v sklopu svojih raziskovanj pa sta opravila tudi kopico pogovorov z nekdanjimi jugoslovanskimi delavci in njihovimi zambijskimi sodelavci. V oddaji pa boste povrh tega lahko slišali tudi nekaj odlomkov iz govorov Josipa Broza Tita, ki jih hrani naš radijski arhiv. Oddajo je pripravila Alja Zore. foto: zambijski voditelj Kenneth Kaunda in Josip Broz Tito na obisku pri podjetju Energoprojekt

President Sam Nujoma was nie net Namibië se stigterspresident nie, maar, was ook die laaste van die groot bevrydingstrydrosse. Sy naam word verbind met name soos Kenneth Kaunda, Julius Nyerere, Nelson Mandela en meer, sowel as met die dekolonisering van Afrika. Maar, professor Nixon Kariithi, ‘n kenner in Afrika-aangeleenthede sê die stryd vir vryheid is nie verby nie.

The phrase "all-weather friend," first coined by Zambia's founding father Kenneth Kaunda to describe China, has become a defining term for the solid friendship between China and Zambia, and more broadly, between China and Africa. This year marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and Zambia. As both nations move forward, the revitalization of the Tanzania-Zambia Railway is set to deepen their bond.

The stars of Zambia's national football team are killed in a deadly plane crash in 1993, and a dream is shattered. Former international player Robert Earnshaw goes back to his roots in Zambia to interview football writer Ponga Liwewe and the families of the legendary players, including relatives of Godfrey Chitalu, and David Efford Chabala. The team had been nicknamed the KK11 in honour of President Kenneth Kaunda, a proud football fan, after their famous victory against Italy at the Olympics. They had set their sights on being the first Zambian team to compete at the World Cup and they had just begun playing qualifier matches for the tournament when disaster struck. #AmazingSportStories

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Two solar photovoltaic (PV) projects selected as preferred bids under Bid Window 6 (BW6) of the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy's (DMRE's) renewable energy procurement programme reached commercial close on April 30. The projects, which were part of a group of six PV projects to advance to preferred-bidder status for a 1 000 MW allocation in 2022, have a combined capacity of 360 MW and a combined investment value of R4.9-billion. During BW6 none of the wind projects vying for a 3 200 MW allocation were selected owing to grid-related constraints. The DMRE said in a statement that the remaining four preferred bidders were finalising preparations for commercial close but were still hampered mostly by grid-access related challenges, as well as interdependencies between projects across bid windows. "The department and IPP Office are working tirelessly with Eskom to resolve these challenges, to ensure that all projects can reach commercial close and start construction," the DMRE said. The two projects to have achieved the milestone, meanwhile, are the Virginia Solar Park, located in the Lejweleputswa district of the Free State and representing the province's seventh publicly procured renewables project, and the Doornhoek PV project, which is the North West's sixth public renewables project and located in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda district municipality. To date, 95 independent power producer (IPP) projects, with a collective capacity of 7 336 MW, have advanced under the bigger programme. The Virginia Solar Park project is being implemented as a partnership between Red Rocket, Reatile, Jade-Sky Energy and the Red Rocket Opportunity Trust, while the Doornhoek PV project is majority owned by AMEA Power, which has partnered with Ziyanda Energy and black-women-owned Dzimuzwo Consulting. South African entity participation in each project is 49%. In a statement, Red Rocket said the Virginia Solar Park was located about 140-km north-east of Bloemfontein, and was the biggest solar farm procured under the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme, with a contracted capacity of 240 MW and peak capacity of 275 MW. CEO Matteo Brambilla welcomed the latest milestone by the company, which he said had consistently held its own against large multinationals to become a highly successful IPP in South Africa. A joint venture between PowerChina and Green Whistle would build the Virginia Solar Park under a turnkey engineering, procurement and construction contract. Construction on both solar projects is expected to take no more than 24 months with their generation capacity anticipated to come online by May 2026. "In support of [addressing] the current economic challenges that South Africa is facing, the two projects have committed a total of 2 034 job opportunities (measured in job years)," the DMRE said, adding that R389-million would be spent on skills, supplier, enterprise and socioeconomic development over the 20-year lifetimes of the two plants.

In this fortnight's episode, Gyles and Aphra Brandreth meet Baroness Dambisa Moyo who shares her story growing up in Zambia. Dambisa is an economist and author who has written books, including four New York Times Bestsellers. Dambisa was named in the list of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. Poems this episode include: Tiyenda Pamodzi popularized by Zambian president Kenneth Kaunda; and F.E.M.A.L.E. by Sampa the Great.

"Kenneth Kaunda was a rarity: an African President who not only backed football, but [also] actually liked it" - David Goldblatt. In the final episode of Matchday 1 of the African Five-a-side podcast, we profile Zambia's first president, Kenneth Kaunda. Kaunda so loved football and supported the national teal that they were nicknamed the "KK11" in honour of him. We also explore how Kaunda got parastatal conglomerates in Zambia's Copperbelt to sponsor domestic clubs and spur local football development.*Special thanks to the research of Dr. Hikabwa Chipande and his extensive research on this subject which served as the basis for this episode.

In 1964, Zambia became a republic. It was the ninth African state to leave British colonial rule. Simon Kapwepwe was one of the leaders in the fight for independence, along with his childhood friend Kenneth Kaunda, who became President in 1964. Simon's daughter, Mulenga Kapwepwe, speaks to Laura Jones about her father's role in naming the country and her memories of that time. (Photo: Sign welcoming people to Zambia in 1965.

“The next building block should have been economic freedom. However, it is not his (Mandela's) fault that it was not done. It is the fault of the generation that followed him” In today's episode, Alan Kasujja sits down with Nelson Mandela's granddaughter, Ndileka Mandela. They discuss a variety of issues including things the world probably doesn't know about the global icon, his political thinking and how he felt about the state of South Africa. They also interrogate claims that Mandela ‘sold out' by prioritizing racial reconciliation at the expense of economic freedom for the black majority. This conversation forms part of a short series on Africa's intellectuals like Thomas Sankara, Julius Nyerere and Kenneth Kaunda. Yesterday Alan spoke to Kwame Nkrumah's daughter, Samia Nkrumah. Check it out if you haven't had a chance to listen to it.

En cette fin de la décennie 1970, la Zambie connaît la récession. L'effondrement du prix du cuivre met en grande difficulté son économie déjà fragile. En découle une important grogne sociale et politique. Au pouvoir depuis une quinzaine d'années, Kenneth Kaunda est aussi confronté à une forte opposition en interne. Le pays entre dans une période de turbulences pendant laquelle les travailleurs descendent dans la rue et contestent le pouvoir en place. La répression est sévère.

Depuis l'accession de son pays à l'indépendance, Kenneth Kaunda s'est donné pour tâche d'aider les autres nationalistes africains à se libérer du joug colonial. C'est la raison pour laquelle il accepte les aides soviétique et chinoise qui fournissent armes et soldats aux mouvements nationalistes d'Afrique du Sud et de Rhodésie qu'il abrite sur son territoire. Mais ce soutien lui coûte cher. D'autant plus cher que dans le même temps, la situation économique de la Zambie se dégrade avec la chute du cours du cuivre, principale ressource du pays. Les caisses de l'État sont vides.

24 octobre 1964. La Rhodésie du Nord accède à l'indépendance et se dote d'un nouveau nom : la Zambie. C'est le 36ème État du continent à obtenir ainsi sa liberté. La lutte a été longue et sanglante contre le colonisateur britannique et Kenneth Kaunda, qui proclame l'accession du jeune État à la souveraineté internationale, est l'un des plus grands artisans de cette liberté conquise. Mais pour le nouveau président, ceci n'est qu'une étape dans la lutte pour l'émancipation totale du continent.

En cette première moitié de la décennie 1960 dans la fédération de Rhodésie et du Nyassaland, les positions du gouvernement colonial britannique et des populations noires semblent bien éloignées. Tellement éloignées que l'affrontement est inéluctable. Qui va tirer profit de cette tension ? Kenneth Kaunda, qui prône la non-violence et qui n'est pas très écouté sur ce point par les militants nationalistes, ou Londres qui reste sourde aux aspirations de liberté exprimées par la majorité ?

C'était le combat de sa vie : libérer son peuple de la colonisation, le sortir de cette fédération artificielle où il était traité avec mépris et condescendance. La Rhodésie dont le nom en lui-même était une insulte pour les populations locales. Avec lui, la Zambie est née. Archives d'Afrique vous propose de partir à la découverte de Kenneth Kaunda, surnommé aussi le « lion du Zambèze ».

La reine Elizabeth II, décédée le 8 septembre à l'âge de 96 ans en Écosse, sera inhumée ce lundi 19 septembre 2022 à Windsor. La souveraine s'est parfois engagée, notamment au sein du Commonwealth, la grande organisation intergouvernementale composée de 56 États membres, dont 21 Africains, presque tous d'anciens territoires de l'Empire britannique. La reine s'est notamment opposée à la ségrégation raciale, appliquée en Rhodésie du Sud et en Afrique du Sud avec l'apartheid. Pour en parler, Virginie Roiron, maîtresse de conférences à Sciences Po Strasbourg. RFI : Quel rôle la reine a-t-elle joué dans la lutte contre la ségrégation et notamment au sein du Commonwealth ? Virginie Roiron : Elle a joué un rôle que beaucoup maintenant estiment assez crucial. Dans son souci de garder le Commonwealth uni, elle a embrassé la cause anti-apartheid, donc de la lutte contre ces régimes, ces derniers vestiges du colonialisme, que ce soit la Rhodésie du Sud ou l'Afrique du Sud. Une étape importante a été notamment le sommet du Commonwealth de 1979 en Zambie, où on a vu une opposition entre la reine Elizabeth et sa Première ministre Margaret Thatcher sur le dossier de la Rhodésie du Sud, le futur Zimbabwe, qui appliquait la ségrégation… C'était une zone qui était peu sûre puisqu'il y avait des combats, notamment puisque la Zambie accueillait les mouvements de lutte contre le régime rhodésien et les soutenait, etc. Le gouvernement Thatcher était très opposé au fait que la reine se déplace. Mais la reine a résisté et y est allée pour ouvrir cette conférence qui s'annonçait cruciale dans le destin de la Rhodésie du Sud, qui est ensuite devenue le Zimbabwe. On sait que la reine n'a pas à exprimer ses opinions politiques. Est-ce qu'on sait ce qu'elle pensait de ces régimes ségrégationnistes et de ces apartheids ? On ne peut pas le savoir réellement. Ce qu'on sait, c'est ce qu'elle a fait. Elle a voulu être présente à ce sommet pour symboliser le soutien du chef du Commonwealth à ce qui était en train de se passer, à la volonté d'amener tout le monde à la table des négociations et de résoudre le problème de l'indépendance du futur Zimbabwe. Son souci premier à elle, c'était de maintenir l'unité du Commonwealth. Maintenir l'unité du Commonwealth, c'était aller dans le sens de ce que la majorité des membres souhaitaient, à savoir mettre un terme à ces régimes qui étaient des vestiges du colonialisme. ►À écouter aussi : Invité Afrique - Décès d'Elizabeth II : « De nombreux territoires africains ont eu des réactions contrastées » D'ailleurs, cette opposition entre Margaret Thatcher et la reine Elizabeth a continué et a même empiré sur le dossier sud-africain. Quelle était la situation du Commonwealth sur cette affaire et les actions menées par la reine ? Là, on a eu une opposition sur le fond. Le gouvernement Thatcher était contre l'apartheid, mais n'était pas d'accord avec les sanctions économiques. Or, le Commonwealth entendait imposer des sanctions économiques. On a eu une très grosse tension, des menaces de quitter le Commonwealth de la part d'un certain nombre d'États, le boycott des jeux du Commonwealth de 1986 par 32 États. Des articles sont sortis dans la presse sur les tensions entre Downing Street et le palais. Il y avait vraisemblablement une intention de montrer que la reine, chef du Commonwealth, était au-dessus de la mêlée et que les décisions du gouvernement britannique n'étaient en aucun cas des décisions qu'elle cautionnait. Et en tant que chef du Commonwealth, la reine a fait ce qui était dans ses possibilités, on va dire, pour faire passer le message. Elle était surtout inquiète pour l'unité du Commonwealth avec les menaces de boycott et de quitter le Commonwealth d'un certain nombre d'États. Vous pensez, comme l'a dit le président zambien Kenneth Kaunda, que la reine a quelque part sauvé le Commonwealth de l'explosion dans ces années-là ? D'une certaine manière, oui. Elle a montré que, en tant que chef du Commonwealth, elle n'était pas le gouvernement britannique et qu'elle était capable d'avoir des positions qui pouvaient être à l'opposé de ce que le gouvernement considérait comme étant l'intérêt du Royaume-Uni. La reine a aussi évité une division du Commonwealth sur un plan racial, c'est-à-dire les Blancs d'un côté et les autres de l'autre. Et sur ces positions de la reine Elizabeth, il y a quand même eu son refus de se rendre en Rhodésie du Sud et en Afrique du Sud où elle n'est pas allée pendant plus de 40 ans… On a cette figure de la reine qui n'est jamais allée en Afrique du Sud surtout, et qui n'y est retournée qu'en 1995, qui en 1991, au sommet de Harare [Zimbabwe], quand Nelson Mandela est arrivé, il n'était pas prévu au banquet qu'elle donnait, elle a demandé qu'on lui fasse une place à côté d'elle. Certes, elle était dans son rôle, mais elle a incarné ce rôle et, par des petits gestes effectivement, elle a montré son engagement dans la lutte contre les discriminations et pour l'égalité. Mais elle l'a fait aussi parce qu'elle était chef du Commonwealth, garante de l'unité du Commonwealth. ►À lire aussi : Elizabeth II, témoin privilégié de la fin de l'empire britannique et des indépendances africaines

WE pick up the seaborne operations story in early 1979, and much of this episode is based on the book Iron Fist from the Sea by ex-Recce Douw Steyn and his navy colleague, Arne Soderlund. By 1979 the writing was on the wall for Rhodesia, if not before. The shock wave that had rattled Salisbury in 1975 as Portugal pulled out of Mozambique weakened the state, after this all it had was South Africa as an ally – and the Nationalist government in Pretoria wanted Ian Smiths' government to negotiate a peaceful solution to the Bush war. This was so that South Africa's détente attempts with the rest of Africa would be given a shot in the arm. The reality was post-colonial African government's wanted nothing to do with Pretoria, except for outliers such as Zambia. It's president Kenneth Kaunda had held secret talks with the apartheid government, with other countries such as Botswana and Tanzania involved. Up to 1975, 80 percent of Rhodesia's foreign trade had been exported and imported via Mozambique, now they had to send and receive all goods via Durban. A leftist Mozambique was a haven for Rhodesian guerillas and a barrier to trade. Needless to say, the upcoming attack on the fuel depot in Beira was very much part of Salisbury's attempt at undermining the FRELIMO government in Maputo. The SADF involvement was a critical balancing act, and was obviously top secret. While Pretoria publicly met and negotiated with some frontline states, behind the scenes they were hard at work blowing up Mozambique's infrastructure.

A version of this essay was published by swarajyamag.com at https://swarajyamag.com/world/lessons-for-india-from-south-africa-beware-of-those-bearing-gifts. Please listen to the podcast (click the ‘play’ button above), and give me feedback. It takes a lot of work to put the podcast together, and I would like to hear what you guys think of it, and your suggestions on how it can be improved. As I write this, there are riots in South Africa over a court order to jail former President Jacob Zuma on corruption charges. It may escalate to a quasi-civil war. It was startling to hear that model-minority Indian-origin South Africans are facing threats to their lives and livelihoods, and that some of them are defending themselves with firearms. As a teenager I read several novels by the Afrikaner author Laurens van der Post about the days of apartheid, and I was struck by the trisanku nature of the Indians there: disrespected by both blacks and whites, living a tenuous and uncertain existence. We saw what happened to Indians in Idi Amin’s Uganda, and we saw how the Chettiars were ejected from Burma. A big reason for the assaults is the certainty that Indians are soft targets: that they do not fight back and they often have assets because they are diligent and save whatever they can. Indian businesses are being torched, and their very lives are in jeopardy.It is important to pay attention to this because India’s future is entwined with the Indian Ocean Rim, and with the fast-growing (at least till the pandemic struck) economies of that huge and relatively empty continent. The Chinese have made massive inroads there, but there is also a backlash. India needs to have an Africa strategy. India, meanwhile, merely gets second-hand information about Africa from the Anglosphere. This has to change. There are serious commercial opportunities. For example, Indian digitization and payment options may be attractive to African nations: UPI, RuPay, Aadhar, Cowin, India Stack etc., along with a bridge between UPI and Kenya’s mPESA. More to the point, there are lessons for us from the African encounter with the West. The net result has been the impoverishment and suffering of the African, including arbitrary lines drawn across the continent tearing apart traditional ethnic identities, leading to endless wars and displacement and ethnic cleansing. That must sound familiar to subcontinentals: the legacy of European empire.I shall confine myself to three examples: Rwanda, Ethiopia and South Sudan. RwandaThere are two ethnic groups in Rwanda, the ‘tall, fair’ Tutsis and the ‘short, dark’ Hutus. Well, that’s the theory, but to the impartial observer, they seem identical: they are very close genetically, and they had generally lived peacefully with each other for centuries. Christian missionaries arriving in Rwanda ‘discovered’ that the minority Tutsi were lording it over the Hutu. I don’t remember if they ‘discovered’ that the Tutsi were also migrants who had defeated and now oppressed the Hutus. In any case, under the missionaries, cleavages in society were manufactured or at least dramatically magnified. In the end, there was a horrific genocide. The Hutus attempted to wipe out the Tutsis, with the collusion of the church. If you get away from the gruesome killings, this might sound vaguely familiar to Indians: yes, it is the ‘Aryan’ Invasion Fairytale in a slightly different form. But the intent was the same: divide et impera. The goal was to maintain white control by fomenting fratricide and civil war.It was the late N S Rajaram who had the insight that what happened in Rwanda was the template for the ‘Aryan’-‘Dravidian’ divide that missionaries created in India. One Bishop Caldwell, and later, his ideological descendants such as EV Ramaswamy Naicker, created exactly the same kind of unscientific and unsubstantiated division between the allegedly ‘Aryan’ Tamil Brahmins and the allegedly ‘Dravidian’ middle castes.We have to assume that the intent in India was also (in addition to divide and rule) continuous fratricidal warfare, bhedam, and thus easy pickings for the imperialists. The funny thing is that Tamil Brahmins are genetically identical to the allegedly ‘Dravidian’ middle castes, but then, there is no reason to let science stand in the way of a good narrative. The fact that this whole thing didn’t lead to genocide in India, a la Rwanda, is miraculous, because it could easily have done so. Perhaps some vestige of civilizational tolerance meant only exile, not physical liquidation.In Rwanda, after the horrific genocide, Tutsis led by Robert Kagame, who had honed fighting skills in neighboring countries, came to power. They have maintained the peace, and led to some level of development, although there are murmurs about autocracy. Interestingly enough, a deep dive into Kagame’s Rwanda brings up a lot of not-so-flattering comparisons to everybody’s poster-child du jour, Bangladesh, but that’s a story for another time. EthiopiaThis is an ancient Christian country with roots going back to the days around the Council of Nicae, 325 CE, that codified Christian dogma. Some seafaring European adventurers who ended up in India were looking for the fabled lost kingdom of ‘Prester John’, supposedly the king of Ethiopia. That didn’t save the country from going through a brutal civil war in the 20th century. The province of Eritrea rebelled, and after a 20-year-long war, which took the lives of an estimated 100,000 people on both sides put together, Eritrea formally became a new nation. In the past year, another rebellion in the province of Tigray has become a serious military problem. It appears as though the Tigrayans, whose fighters had earlier allied with different factions in the Ethiopia-Eritrea war, are now on the verge of defeating combined Ethiopian and Eritrean forces, and are now threatening to take the war into neighboring states. Just like Yugoslavia a while ago, Ethiopia has fallen apart.Why is this relevant to India? Because the West is pushing for the balkanization of India, under the new and sexy name of “sub-national diplomacy”. Thanks to Abhinav Agarwal for pointing out the following article and a pithy quote from it: “Subnational diplomacy should be a crucial tool of Biden’s India strategy... "And, putting their money where their mouth is, Americans are following up by ‘canceling’ the word ‘India’. It is either ‘South Asia’ (which, to quote that war-criminal Churchill, is “about as tangible as the equator”), or it is sub-national. It appears the West is reaching out to West Bengal and also to Tamil Nadu (see the ecstasy with which they received the appointment of Esther Duflo and Jean Dreze to an economic affairs panel there).So it’s never “Indian-American”, but “Bengali-American”, or “South Asian American”, as far as US communiques are concerned. It took them 48 hours, and a lot of noise on social media, to issue a half-hearted retraction to the following. The funny thing is that Samir Banerjee’s father is not even Bengali, he’s Assamese! But hey, anything in the cause of bhedam. Chanakya, I am sure, would approve. Creating divisions where they don’t exist: now where have we seen this before?South SudanThis country was created exactly ten years ago, as a refuge for Christians who, it seems, were being oppressed by North Sudan’s Muslim majority. That is also a story we have heard elsewhere: partition on ideological or especially on religious grounds, courtesy the West. East Timor, for instance. Intriguingly, though, when a European country was divided (Germany) it was quickly reunited. I doubt the same will be true for other countries divided by the West. In 2011, there were hopeful predictions about an egalitarian and prosperous South Sudan, especially because it has oil. But the reality is far from it: the country is desperately poor, and there are accusations of gross human rights violations and oppression based on ethnicity. Child marriage is rife, child soldiers are common, and rape is used widely as a war tactic.The creation of South Sudan has not led to any great improvement in the lives of the people.Of the various ‘splittist’ (to use Chinese vocabulary for a minute) groups in India, the most virulent are the ‘Dravidian’ parties of Tamil Nadu, which nurse fond hopes for something they call ‘United States of South India’. India has also seen that widespread Christian conversion leads to secession and demands for separate homelands: as in much of the Northeast. As conversion increases in Andhra, Telangana and Tamil Nadu (there are already substantial numbers in Kerala), the urge to secede will likely increase. South Sudan’s case is salutary: creating a new nation based on religion is not exactly the most sensible course of action. Fortunately, in India’s case, apart from a few hard-core Tamils, most people in South India have no particular interest in anything ‘Dravidian’. But the ‘subnational diplomacy’ specialists from the Biden administration will likely create trouble. As an example, the closure of the Sterlite copper plant -- precisely when copper prices and demand are set to go through the roof -- must rank as one of the most brain-dead, malicious acts of recent times. It is quite likely that the famed sub-national diplomacy spoken of by CSIS is being applied to the cause of ‘Dravida Nadu’. In this, there will be other eager partners: Pakistan, China and various busybodies such as the Scandinavians who like to fish in troubled waters.African LessonsInterestingly, I have been seeing at least on social media that ordinary Africans are far more cognizant of the malfeasance of ex-colonials than Indians are. Their leaders are aware, too. Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, who died recently, was one. So was whoever it is who said, pithily, “When the missionaries came, they had the book and we had the land. They taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened our eyes, they had the land, and we had the book”. Indians, and our leaders, are still bedazzled, and mouth platitudes such as vasudhaiva kutumbakam and athithi devo bhava out of context. It is time we learned something from the Africans. 1600 words, 14 Jul 2021 This is a public episode.

MICHAEL Hello and welcome to Five in the Eye! This is me - Michael Ohajuru - here on Colourful Radio and this is a very special show. That's because it's episode 0313 and 313 is… wait for it… a prime number! PHIL Yes, it's one of Michael's prime number shows and we know how important they are to him! This is Phil Woodford, joining the show from Coventry in the West Midlands this week, and revealing that our top story is going to be the dramatic changes to life promised on the so-called ‘Freedom Day' of July 19th. Is the government making the right choices? MICHAEL For story number two, we talk about two sporting controversies: the female swimmers denied appropriate headgear for their afro hair. Meanwhile, sprinters from Namibia are ruled out of races because of their naturally high levels of testosterone. PHIL What's story number three? Well, it's discipline in schools. Most people would agree that some rules and regulations are important. But can they go too far? MICHAEL For our fourth story this week, it's the UK minister who confused Zambia and Zimbabwe at the funeral of Kenneth Kaunda. PHIL And finally this week, to wrap up the show, we talk about motivational posters. Tesco have maybe misjudged one of their messages by placing it in a toilet. MICHAEL We don't need any extra motivation to get straight on to these great stories! And that's this week's Five in the Eye!

Zambia's first President Kenneth Kaunda has been buried at a memorial site for former presidents. Rival political parties and dignitaries from the region were among those who attended the ceremony. Plus, why fears of an unprecedented third wave of the coronavirus sweeping across Africa, are increasing. And South Africa's government releases a discussion paper proposing the legalisation of ‘polyandry' – in other words, allowing women to have several husbands.

Kenneth Kaunda (1924–2021) was the first State President of independent Zambia. On March 30, 1977 Ruth Weiss conducted an interview with Kaunda in Lusaka on the occasion of the visit of Nikolai Podgorny, then President of the Soviet Union. In this extract from the interview, Kaunda provides an assessment of the Cold War situation in southern Africa, Zambia's position as a member of the Non-Aligned Movement and the supportive role of the Soviet Union for Zambia.

On 16 June 2021, Facebook announced that it had removed a network of fake accounts in Ethiopia that had been targeting domestic users ahead of the country's general elections. Facebook linked the accounts to individuals associated with the country's Information Network Security Agency. The accounts posted positive stories about embattled Prime Minister Abyi Ahmed and his Prosperity Party, while ragging on opposition groups and parties.  Meanwhile, in South Africa, a senior journalist at one of the country's mainstream newspapers published a story about a black woman in South Africa's most populous province, Gauteng, giving birth to 10 children and thus breaking a Guinness World Record. The story turned out to be fake and probably linked to factional fights in the ruling ANC, but many of the journalist's social media supporters dismissed his critics as racist (he is black). Media scholar Herman Wasserman points out that in an era where disinformation is rampant, where an overwhelmed public craves clear, authoritative information and where trust in the media is low, disinformation has devastating consequences for the already fragile reputation of news media and our ability to make sense of the world. Wasserman, a professor of media and film studies at the University of Cape Town, joins us to talk about the results of a study he carried out on misinformation on the continent. The situation is worse than you think. Also on the show is Grieve Chelwa, a contributing editor at AIAC, and Inaugural Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute on Race and Political Economy at The New School, to remember the life and legacy of Zambia's first president Kenneth Kaunda (1924—2021).

"Laser" ripropone oggi un incontro del 2010 con Roberto Antonini, in ricordo di Kenneth Kaunda, a lungo presidente dello Zambia e ultimo combattente per l'indipendenza dell'Africa, morto all'età di 97 anni.Lo chiamavano KK “old man”. Kenneth Kaunda si è spento la scorsa settimana a Lusaka. Aveva 97 anni. Era uno degli ultimi protagonisti e della decolonizzazione dell'Africa, ed è stato il padre dello Zambia moderno. Presidente dal 1964 al 1991. Nel suo viaggio dal sud al centro dell'Africa organizzato con Radio24 nel quadro dell'operazione “passione africana”, Roberto Antonini si era fermato nella sua residenza di Lusaka, capitale dello Zambia. Tanti eroi della liberazione dal giogo coloniale si sono trasformati in dittatori, spesso sanguinari. Ma lui no. Kaunda è stato un autocrate, poco propenso alle aperture democratiche. Ma è stato un personaggio molto pacifico, impregnato di valori religiosi. In "Laser", Kaunda si era confidato a Roberto Antonini per parlare dell'Africa a 50 anni dalla decolonizzazione, della sua vita, del suo paese, dei leader che ha incontrato e delle sfide attuali. In primis la lotta all'AIDS che lo vedeva, combattivo, in prima fila. Prima emissione 2010

Today we talked with Nancy Mitchell about her book Jimmy Carter in Africa: Race and the Cold War, published by Stanford University Press in 2016 as part of the Cold War International History Project Series. Drawn from extensive archival research and personal interviews spanning three continents, Mitchell's book attempts to recast the Carter administration as an active, and in some cases forceful, participant in the Cold War. By examining key areas of conflict, most notably Rhodesia and the Horn of Africa, Mitchell illustrates the continuity and shifts in American foreign policy on the continent, while highlighting the importance of Carter seeing these crises “through the prism of the civil rights struggle”. Bringing together the interlocking relationships of the likes of Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, Adwar Sadat, Andrew Young, Ian Smith, and Kenneth Kaunda, her book provides one of the most complete pictures of the Carter administration's dealings with the African continent and its legacies for US and international policy across the globe. Nancy Mitchell is a Professor of History at North Carolina State University, where she was elected to the Academy of Outstanding Teachers. Her previous work includes the book The Danger of Dreams: German and American Imperialism in Latin America, 1895-1914 (1999), a chapter on “The Cold War and Jimmy Carter,” in The Cambridge History of the Cold War (2010), and another on “The United States and Europe, 1900-1914,” in American Foreign Relations since 1600: A Guide to the Literature Online, (2007). Jacob Ivey is an Assistant Professor of History at the Florida Institute of Technology. His research centers largely on the British Colony of Natal, South Africa, most notably European and African systems of state control and defense during the colony's formative period. He is currently working on a history of anti-apartheid movements in Central Florida.

As part of the BBC's Freedom season, Zeinab Badawi speaks to Kenneth Kaunda – leader of the struggle for independence, he was sentenced to hard labour in prison by the British before he went on to become Zambia's first president of the post-colonial era. It is a landmark year for Zambia – this is the 50th anniversary of its independence - and Kenneth Kaunda himself turns 90 in April.
