Commerce, aide au développement, relations économiques, même si Donald Trump semble ignorer le continent lors de ces prises de parole, les répercussions sur l'Afrique de sa politique économique pourraient être plus importantes que lors de son premier mandat.  Les économies africaines seront-elles affectés par le protectionnisme à la sauce Trump ? L'augmentation des droits de douanes de 10 voire même 20 % aura nécessairement des conséquences. Toutes les importations américaines seront touchées et les produits africains ne devraient pas échapper à la règle.Les véhicules sud-africains, les diamants du Lesotho, les hydrocarbures comme le pétrole brut du Nigeria ou certains minerais : si Donald Trump applique son programme, les droits de douane augmenteront sur tous ces produits.Les exportations touchées par le protectionnismeSi l'on tient compte du poids des exportations dans le PIB des pays, le Lesotho, Madagascar, le Ghana, la Libye et l'Afrique du Sud seraient les plus touchés selon une étude du cabinet indépendant Global Sovereign Advisory publiée quelques semaines avant l'élection. En 2017, lors de la première élection de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche, les mesures protectionnistes ne concernaient qu'un petit nombre de produits. Les effets avaient donc été très faibles pour l'Afrique. Là, encore une fois, si Trump fait ce qu'il dit, ça sera plus dur à supporter.À écouter aussiDonald Trump, commerce, guerre en Ukraine, IA : l'état du monde selon trois grands économistesL'Agoa dans le viseur ?Les incertitudes concernent également l'avenir des accords commerciaux et en particulier le principal accord : l'African Growth and Opportunity Act plus communément appelé l'Agoa et qui permet aux pays africains d'exporter vers les États Unis sous conditions.Donald Trump ne s'en cache pas, il est sceptique sur ces cadres multilatéraux. En 2018 il avait déjà suspendu le droit du Rwanda d'exporter des vêtements via l'Agoa. Une sanction envers Kigali qui avait décidé d'augmenter les droits de douanes sur les importations de fripes. Donald Trump utilise cet accord commercial pour faire pression sur les pays bénéficiaires... qui sont d'ailleurs régulièrement soumis à une réévaluation. Le programme arrive à échéance en septembre 2025, et certains experts s'inquiètent. Donald Trump n'a rien spécifié durant sa campagne, mais il pourrait tout à fait décider de modifier l'Agoa qui générait l'année dernière quasiment 50 milliards de dollars d'échanges commerciaux.À écouter aussiDonald Trump: le retour du protectionnisme à la Maison Blanche?Chine touchée = Afrique impactéeIl y aura aussi des conséquences indirectes, notamment si la guerre commerciale entre les États-Unis et la Chine s'intensifie. Des droits de douanes massifs sont attendus sur les produits chinois vendus aux États-Unis. et l'effet mécanique est le suivant : ralentissement de l'économie chinoise donc les pays africains qui exportent beaucoup vers la chine pourraient être affectés. Là, les économistes parlent de pays, comme l'Angola ou la République démocratique du Congo qui exportent leurs minerais vers la Chine.Autre incertitude : l'aide au développement américaine sera-t-elle rabotée par le président Trump ? Elle est très importante pour le continent africain, près de 4 milliards de dollars cette année.Les médias sud-africains se demandent par exemple si le programme américain de lutte contre le VIH se poursuivra. En attendant, les chefs d'États africain font de la politique. C'est un concert de félicitations au président élu depuis une semaine. Car si l'Afrique n'intéresse pas Trump... il est primordial de ne pas se fâcher tout de suite.

This is episode 194 and we're marching towards Thaba Bosiu with Lieutenant General George Cathcart. Or sitting on horseback among King Moshoeshoe's Basotho warriors, armed with a musket. Take you pick. We're going to hear about the Battle of Berea, and the outcome would underline the Basotho mastery of their land, leading to Lesotho's independence. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, first things first. AS you heard last episode, soldiers from various regiments in the British army and the Cape Mounted Rifles totalling 2500 troops were invading Moshoeshoes' kingdom. The British were trying to secure the northern parts of the Cape Colony and believed that by crushing Moshoeshoe, the TransOrangia would be rid of raiding and chaos. The fact that a whole range of people were raiding and causing chaos seemed to have escaped the attention of Cathcart and his commanders. As you know, there was a long list of these renegades. But because Moshoeshoe was the most organised African leader in the territory, it stood to reason that it must be his people causing the trouble. The Basotho's main opponent weren't the Boers under Pretorius or the Rolong under Maroka or the Griqua, no they weren't the Bastaards under Pieter Davids and Carolus Batjoe, or even the Kora Bandits under Gert Taaibosch. No, the Basotho regarded Sekonyela's Batlokwa as their main opposition in the area. And it was Sekonyela's complaints to the British about Moshoeshoe that set off this recent marching business. Sure, there's no debate about whether or not Moshoeshoe and his allies had been carting off Boer stock, raiding when they could, this was true. What was really going on was that Cathcart wanted to end the ongoing 8th Frontier War and thought that by hammering Moshoeshoe, a possible future conflict could be avoided and he could concentrate on the amaXhosa further south. Cathcart moved off during daylight, and it was going to take his force hours to reach their first objectives. That was more than enough time for Moshoeshoe to recover from what was a heinous break from English military tradition — no war was declared after all. The Basotho king moved fast and within an hour, his 3000 warriors were on their horses, muskets loaded. The King had also not been idle in recent years, his people had been studying and practicing how to fight a mobile army moving inside his mountain kingdom, particularly the tactics used by the British. Instead, the British commander looked around him and counted the cost. Thirty-eight British soldiers died, the most in any engagement thus far in South Africa. He had 5000 Basotho cattle, hardly a small number, and yet something to boast about. The Basotho king in turn had lost around 50 men, dozens more injured and written a letter that Cathcart could wave about - peace in our time!

Die Oranje-Senqu-rivierbekken-kommisie, of Orasecom, het in sy Derde Gesamentlike Opnameverslag kommer uitgespreek oor die dalende watergehalte in die rivierbekken. Namibië, Suid-Afrika, Botswana en Lesotho deel dit. Die afname in watergehalte word toegeskryf aan die uitbreiding van mynbou- en landbouaktiwiteite, swak bestuur van afvalwater en vaste afval, en onvoldoende sanitasie-infrastruktuur. Vivian Kinyaga van die Orasecom sekretariaat het in 'n onderhoud met The Villager gesels oor die belangrikheid daarvan om die water skoon te hou.

Die dalende watergehalte in die Oranje-Senqu-rivierkom, wat deur Namibië, Suid-Afrika, Botswana en Lesotho gedeel word, wek kommer. Die afname in watergehalte word toegeskryf aan meer mynbou- en landbouaktiwiteite, swak bestuur van afvalwater en vaste afval, en onvoldoende sanitasie-infrastruktuur. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met die Suid Afrikaanse landbou-ekonoom dr. Kobus Laubscher, wat sê die besoedeling gaan 'n groot impak hê op gemeenskappe, soos in Suid Afrika gebeur het.

Die Departement van Water en Sanitasie sê die Lesotho-hooglandwaterprojektonnel se onderhoud-operasies wat volgens beplanning in Maart 2025 voltooi sal wees, verloop goed sedert die sluiting van die tonnel vroeër die maand.

Washiriki wa Sherehe za kimataifa za mwaka huu wa 2024 za kuadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Chakula zilizofanyika leo katika makao makuu ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Chakula na Kilimo (FAO) jijini Roma Italia wamesisitiza haja ya upatikanaji wa vyakula mbalimbali vya kutosha, vyenye lishe, bei nafuu na salama.Ni maadhimisho ambayo yamewaleta wadau wa kilimo na chakula kutoka kote duniani lakini  yanakuja huku kukiwa na mvutano na mizozo ya kimataifa na majanga ya tabianchi ambayo ni miongoni mwa mambo yanayochangia changamoto ya mamia ya mamilioni ya watu duniani kote kukabiliwa na njaa na mabilioni ya watu kushindwa kumudu chakula bora, FAO inaeleza katika taarifa iliyochapishwa katika ukurasa wake wa wavuti.Katika hotuba yake ya ufunguzi Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa FAO, QU Dongyu, amesema mifumo ya kilimo cha chakula inabidi "kusaidia wakulima wadogo, wakulima wa ngazi ya familia na wafanyabiashara wadogo katika mnyororo wa thamani ambao katika nchi nyingi ni wa msingi katika kufanya vyakula vyenye lishe, vya aina mbalimbali vipatikane kwa wote, na kuhifadhi tamaduni za jadi za chakula.” Ujumbe huo wa mkuu wa FAO unafanana na ujumbe wa Papa Francis ambaye amesisitiza wafanya uamuzi wa kisiasa na kiuchumi katika ngazi ya kimataifa lazima wasikilize matakwa ya wale walio chini kabisa katika mnyororo wa chakula.Kwa upande wa Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Antonio Guterres kupitia video amesema, "kuna kitu hakiko sawa katika ulimwengu ambao njaa na utapiamlo ni ukweli wa maisha kwa mabilioni ya watoto, wanawake na wanaume." Akasema ulimwengu usio na njaa unawezekana, lakini "mifumo ya chakula inahitaji mabadiliko makubwa," ili kuwa na ufanisi zaidi, ujumuishi, mnepo na endelevu.Gérardine Mukeshimana, Makamu wa Rais wa Mfuko wa Kimataifa wa Maendeleo ya Kilimo (IFAD) ametoa wito wa "uwekezaji wa haraka, wa pamoja na thabiti kwa wakulima maskini wa vijijini kutambua kwa ngazi ya chini kabisa haki yao ya msingi ya chakula chenye lishe." Akabainisha kuwa wakulima wadogo wanazalisha karibu nusu ya chakula cha dunia, ingawa pia wanakabiliwa na njaa na umaskini.Mfalme Letsie III wa Lesotho, ambaye ni Balozi Mwema Maalum wa FAO katika upande wa lishe anaeleza anavyoiunga mkono FAO kwa “kujaribu kuwa mtetezi mwaminifu na mwenye kujitolea katika masuala ya lishe, katika masuala ya uhakika wa chakula.” Anasema, “na mara kwa mara, mimi hutembelea sehemu nyingine za bara la Afrika nikivaa kofia yangu ya FAO, hasa kuhimiza serikali na viongozi kama bara kuwekeza zaidi katika masuala ya lishe na masuala ya uhakika wa chakula.”. 

Across Southern Africa, one of the worst droughts in living memory has left millions facing hunger.According to the UN World Food Programme (WFP), nearly six and a half million people are starving there. A staggering 21 million children are malnourished, after crops failed and livestock perished, amid last year's El Niño climate phenomenon.A record five countries have declared a national disaster because of the drought and requested international assistance – Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe – but Angola and Mozambique have been hit hard, too.But this is just the start of the emergency, because October marks the beginning of the lean season, as WFP's Tomson Phiri tells UN News's Daniel Johnson.

This is episode 192 and what a packed episode it is! The Sand River Convention and the Battle of the Berea await. The former created a new state called the Zuid Afrikaans Republiek and the latter reinforced the Basotho power under Moshoeshoe which would ultimately lead to the kingdom of Lesotho being born. Two events that too place at the book ends of 1852 - the Convention signed in January, and the Battle of the Berea in December - left their indelible marks on South African history. The decision by the British government to sign a Convention with the Boers of the Transvaal was the result of two local officials, William Samuel Hogge and Charles Mostyn Owen. Because the 8th frontier war against the amaXhosa was going so badly, it was imperative for the British to deal with other possible threats. When they had reached Bloemfontein in November 1851, Hogge and Owen were assailed by conspiracy and tales of intrigue, some of which I explained last episode. Hogge was the senior of the two, and realised pretty quickly that the biggest problem was the annexation of the Orange River Sovereignty by Harry Smith. The Governor, said Hogge in a letter, was either “deceived or deceived himself in supposing that the majority of the white people here ever desired British authority to be extended over them…” That was the last thing the Boers wanted. He also realised that the other challenge to any authority in the Orange River Sovereignty was the chaos between different groups of people and involvement of various British officials in these conflicts.We're dealing with 1852, January. There were two centres of power at this point, one around Andries Pretorius and the other around Hendrick Potgieter. The main cause of conflict was Potgieter's belief that his position of Commandant-General of the Voortrekkers was a post for life. Pretorius and his adherents feared the concentration of military power in one man's hand and Potgieter's adherents believed Pretorius had an insatiable power lust. Each of these two believed they were entitled to be numero uno, Nommer een, die generaal, and each believed the other was kortbroek, not substantial enough to equal themselves. Eventually the convention was set for January 16th 1852 at Venter's Farm near the junction of the Cool Spruit, the Coal Spruit, and Sand River. Here the Boer delegates gathered, as the enigmatic forgerer Van Der Kolff fled, with Pretorius and his 300 followers. IT is with some amazement then folks, that this crucial gathering, this fundemental moment in south Africa, lasted just a day. One day — and that one day changed the history of the country.

While there's no doubt that the internet has taken the human race forward, it has its dark side. If left unregulated, it can be exploited and used for the wrong reasons, like stealing money from people or to even compromise a country's security. This is why many governments across Africa say they require laws to counter what's often referred to as cybercrimes, to protect their citizens. But in countries like Malawi, Zambia, Eswatini, Botswana and Lesotho, there's a serious push back against some of these laws. Human rights activists argue that they will lead to the arrests of journalists who are investigating government corruption. In Malawi news reporter McMillan Mhone was arrested by the country's Cyber Crimes Division in Blantyre.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 5:45 Chandra and I both watched The Perfect Couple and loved it! Chandra also loved the fourth season of Emily in Paris.  Royals: Minutes (5:45) to 24:15 After our last podcast Kate released a video with her family announcing that she was cancer free. It was self absorbed and the British media criticized her for it. King Charles is said to have disapproved too. It was reportedly Kate's idea, which makes a lot of sense. There were stories after that about how we weren't going to see Kate for a while and how her schedule wasn't going to get back to normal until the spring. We heard that she went to a ballet performance recently and that she's been having private meetings. This week Kate and William helped grant a 16-year-old cancer patient's wish to photograph an investiture ceremony, which was really nice. The Waleses were possibly motivated by Harry's recent press and the comments from Buckingham Palace about Kate's video. Last week Prince Harry was in New York for a series of appearances. He also was on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to tour his haunted house, which was fun. Cameron Walker of GB News tweeted that Harry is a veteran and that he was surprised that he got scared for that reason. Over the weekend Harry dipped in and out of London to attend the WellChild Awards. He didn't see his dad at all. When we recorded Harry was visiting Lesotho and South Africa. While Harry was getting so much positive press in New York, the British press tried to attack the Sussexes on two fronts. One was that Harry and Meghan must be having relationship problems because Meghan wasn't with him on these trips. We heard she was sick maybe she has covid and/or she just wanted to stay home with the kids. Then they dusted off that old chestnut about Meghan being mean and making her staffers cry by asking them to do their jobs and sending them email. It was unhinged and they got some US outlets to run it this time, including The Hollywood Reporter. They got one specific story about Meghan allegedly screaming at a florist in 2018, however the florist for her wedding went on the record to say it was great to work with her. The lack of specifics about what Meghan allegedly did is so telling. The Sussexes pushed back against these lies with an US Weekly cover story including quotes from people who work with them and went on the record. Of course Meghan and Harry are thoughtful, kind bosses. The reaction to the US story was unhinged. We wonder why The Hollywood Reporter parroted British talking points about Meghan circa 2018. William tried doing a bunch of stuff as Harry was getting press. He posed in front of some new London Air Ambulance Charity helicopters with David Beckham and he visited a company called Enso where he changed a tire. This week there was a story that Victoria Beckham doesn't like Meghan, but it seemed manufactured by the press. Prince William tried to poach Chef Jose Andres by putting him on the board of Earthshot, but Andres made it clear that he's still good friends with Harry. William still has that unattractive patchy beard because he wants Harry's style and life. Comments of the Week: Minutes (24:15) to end Kaiser's comment of the week is from sevenblue on the post where Tom Parker Bowles calls Charles “the loveliest man in the world.” Here's a link the photos Chandra mentioned where Camilla is scratching her vag. I remember when Camilla went maskless to a cooking event right after Charles tested positive for covid. My comment of the week is from Pinkosaurus on the post about Olivia Nuzzi filing a complaint with the FBI against her ex-fiance. Thanks for listening bitches!

The negative impact of colonial capitalism continues to be felt and experienced today, and it still hinders equity from being achieved in many parts of the world. Author and activist Rosemary J. Jolly joins Corinna Bellizzi to discuss how to dismantle colonial capitalism in effluent communities right now. She shares valuable lessons from her works on the prevention of torture, gender-based violence, and communicable diseases in poor communities in the global North and South. Rosemary also discusses what it takes to put an end to white privilege and racism, as well as the importance of living sustainably – both physically and emotionally.About Guest:Rosemary Jolly has lived in South Africa, Lesotho, Canada and the US. She works on the prevention of torture, gender-based violence and diseases such as HIV in poor communities in the global North and South. She has co-founded rape-crisis clinics and has a passion for most forms of wildlife, even though she has been charged by a rhino (who was, after all, only protecting her baby). She is currently interested in sustainability, not simply as an environmental strategy, but in terms of wellbeing. How can we stop not only extracting from the earth unsustainably, but also from each other? How do we protect humans, non-human animals and our environments from depletion, exhaustion and despair? What are the tools for this?Guest Website: https://complit.la.psu.edu/people/rjj14Additional Resources Mentioned:Remaking A World In Crisis with Osprey Orielle LakeThe True Price of Saving The Planet with Paula DiPernaChanging the Climate Narrative with Anne Therese Gennari, The Climate OptimistCollaborative, Relational Leadership Can Change the WorldBreak Down The Power Majority with Dr. Kimya Nuru DennisRegeneration: Ending The Climate Crisis in One Generation with Paul HawkenYear of the Nurse, A 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic Memoir by Cassie AlexanderJOIN OUR CIRCLE.

This is episode 187 - it's 1851. Time to take stock of what's going on across southern Africa which as you know was in the throes of the 8th Frontier War. A significant war. After that we'll return to Thomas Stubbs who had turned himself into a useful night raider and was about to show the British how to fight in the Albany thickets. To the north, in the mountains of the BaSotho people, King Moshoeshoe the first was not idle in early 1851and his patience with his own kith and kin as well as with the Boers and the British had worn out. When word of Mlanjeni the prophet reached the BaSotho - and how his new message of salvation through a mixture of Christianity and amaXhosa religion had resonated with so many, Moshoeshoe kept a clear head. He had allowed the French missionaries and Casalis in particular to operate within his kingdom and trusted the man in black, but now the exuberant revival of traditional customs and rituals and warfare began to sweep through LeSotho — a millenarian moment. Mlanjeni's reputation caused a relapse among the BaSotho converts, led by a local diviner called Mantsopa who began to build a formiddable reputation as a soothsayer. She could predict victories in war it was said, and in 1850 and 1851 the revivalist movement grew more powerful. Moshoeshoe was always cautious when to came to religion, as you'll hear when we return over the coming episodes to the mountain kingdom. Mlanjeni's reputation caused a relapse among the BaSotho converts, led by a local diviner called Mantsopa who began to build a formiddable reputation as a soothsayer. She could predict victories in war it was said, and in 1850 and 1851 the revivalist movement grew more powerful. Moshoeshoe was always cautious when to came to religion, as you'll hear when we return over the coming episodes to the mountain kingdom. Moshoeshoe took note of this reaction and how the racial and political message was deeply felt by his people. And yet he continued to attend French missionary Casalis' church services out of good faith, and ensured that the missionaries were protected. He also reinforced to all that he was a man of his word. This is the really incredible thing, whereas most others around him were quite ready to go on some terminal quest to kill all the invaders, he was first and foremost, a realist. This all began to come to a head as the 8th Frontier war exploded when the British officials in the Orange River Sovereignty demanded restitution for cattle raiding. And now it's time to return to the story of Thomas Stubbs. His part in this epic drama is seemingly insignificant, and yet it is more important at second glance. What, would you say, could really be important about a small-scale import export trading rebel who was a part-time saddle artisan from Albany ? A man who's father Henry made money trading illegally with the amaXhosa? As I mentioned in passing last episode, in some ways, Stubbs set off a series of what became known as special force tactics in the British Army. He wasn't alone in the period, the British Army was coming up regularly against unconventional soldiers experts in their own bush and veld. In India, Canada, Australia, the middle East. But what was really important about Thomas Stubbs was how he approached tactical issues in the bush. The entire British military experiment in the mid-19th Century was all about seeing what was going on— marching around — bugles, classic red tunics, polished buttons flashing in the midday sun where they'd strut about. You know the saying, no-one goes out in the midday sun except mad dogs and Englishmen.

In this episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast, hosts Bill Spohn and Eric Kaiser are joined by Gary Klein, a veteran in the field of energy conservation, particularly in hot water system design. The discussion begins with Klein explaining his innovative teaching method, using tape on the floor to illustrate the distances between water heaters and home fixtures. This method helps participants understand the time it takes for hot water to reach different parts of a house. Klein emphasizes the importance of efficient hot water system design, criticizing common practices that prioritize aesthetics over functionality. The conversation then shifts to Klein's experiences and contributions to right-sizing plumbing systems, highlighting the inefficiencies in current standards based on outdated data. He discusses the development of the water demand calculator, a tool that more accurately estimates peak water demand and leads to more efficient pipe sizing. Klein provides examples of how modern buildings can significantly reduce their water supply infrastructure needs, using real data to support the argument for updating plumbing codes and practices to reflect contemporary water use patterns. In the final segment, Klein shares personal anecdotes from his extensive career, including his time in Lesotho, where he implemented solar energy solutions. He reflects on his work in the United States, promoting the adoption of air-source heat pump water heaters and continuing to lead efforts in right-sizing plumbing systems. Klein also touches on his teaching philosophy, advocating for practical, evidence-based approaches to plumbing and energy conservation. The episode concludes with Klein urging industry professionals to integrate modern technologies effectively and to consider real-world usage patterns in their designs.

“People will say nasty things about you in their lyrics. You will then be tempted to respond. That's how the violence starts” – Molefi “Mantsoaki” Tjemolane – Lesotho musician Famo music is a genre whose origins can be traced back to the 1920s, among Lesotho's migrant labourers. Over time, it became commercial and formed a big part of national culture, enabling artists to make a living and win awards. But the music is now associated with gangs primarily linked to illegal gold mining in neighbouring South Africa and Lesotho itself. The main factions are known as Terene, draped in yellow traditional blankets over their shoulders, while Seakhi prefer blue and black blankets. Now, the government of Prime Minister Sam Matekane has banned some of the groups accused of fueling the violence. This has angered some musicians.
