Some people may find the issues discussed in this episode upsetting. _____________________________________________________________________ “Some of the children that I talk to who attempted suicide would simply tell me that: 'I think I'm a burden to my parents. They want me to pass, I don't pass. I think if I die I would solve their problems.'” - Tsepiso Siseoana, Lesotho psychotherapist. Recently released data from the World Health Organisation shows that Lesotho is amongst a group of African countries with an alarming rate of suicide. The southern African nation recorded 87.5 deaths per 100 000 people. Other countries with a similar problem include neighbouring Eswatini, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique. Alan Kasujja attempts to understand why Lesotho's suicide level is so high.

If you're anything like us and fed up with all the bleak news, then this week's episode may be just what you need; a guaranteed dose of positivity, progress and inspiration!We're joined by the humble and impressive Dr Lineo Thahane. Lineo is a paediatrician and is Executive Director of a major medical clinic in the Kingdom of Lesotho called the Baylor College of Medicine Children's Foundation Lesotho. Lesotho, a tiny country in southern Africa, is ranked number two in terms of the countries with the highest proportion of its adult population living with HIV in the world. Nearly one in 4 adults is HIV positive and many children are too.Lineo was born and raised in the US but her parents were both from Lesotho and so Lineo spent summer holidays back in Lesotho with her extended family. There, she was able to experience what it was like to live in her parents' country of birth and, as she grew older, she felt a deep sense of unfairness at the differences in the standard of living in the US versus that of Lesotho. As you will hear, this convinced Lineo to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a doctor so that she could return to Lesotho and help make a difference to the quality of healthcare the average person could receive there. In this episode you'll learn:How nearly 10% of Lesotho's children are orphansHow Lineo stays positive despite the sometimes confronting experiences and challenges she has faced treating sick babies and children Why she continues to work in Lesotho when she could be living comfortably in the US,And what Lineo has learnt about the challenges of transitioning from being a specialist doctor to becoming a leader of a large organisation with nearly 800 employees. This is a fascinating, moving and uplifting conversation. Don't miss this episode with the compassionate and dedicated Dr Lineo Thahane.

Pablo Nemo empezó en Ciudad del Cabo (Sudáfrica) en noviembre de 2021 una de las mayores aventuras que se pueden llevar a cabo: atravesar a pie el continente africano. El plan era recorrer Sudáfrica, Lesotho, Suazilandia, Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania, Ruanda, Uganda, Kenya, Etiopía, Sudán hasta Egipto, aunque la realidad de algunos países africanos como Sudán no le están poniendo fácil seguir ese camino trazado inicialmente. Ha vivido mil y una aventuras y momentos, entre ellos atravesado el Desierto del Kalahari, ha sido arrestado en Zimbaue, ha sido rodeado por fauna salvaje, ha convivido con los Masai y ¡nombrado embajador de Zanzibar en el Parlamento namibio! A día de hoy ha recorrido más de 9.000 kilómetros y nos lo cuenta de una manera sencilla, interesante y apasionada. Charlamos con él el 5 de enero de 2023, pero la entrevista tiene muchísimo interés a día de hoy. Esperamos que la disfrutes.

President Cyril Ramaphosa noted on Monday that if extended beyond 2025 for a lengthy period, and if used more effectively, the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) can contribute significantly to the further diversification of African economies. Ramaphosa wrote in his weekly letter to the nation that Agoa is an important instrument for growing and transforming South Africa's economy with the benefits felt through increased economic activity and the jobs created from this. The US trade initiative, which came to be in 2000, is set to expire in September 2025. It has been renewed twice since it came to pass. Last week South Africa hosted the twentieth Agoa Forum, in Johannesburg, where the case for the extension, or reauthorisation, of Agoa beyond 2025 was made. Ramaphosa said the latest extension of Agoa, could enable countries to produce a wider range of products using the abundance of minerals, metals and agricultural goods produced. "The extension of Agoa could also encourage the further development of value chains across different countries. We have already seen this happening in South Africa's automotive industry, for example. Local automotive companies source leather car seats from Lesotho, wiring harnesses from Botswana, copper wiring from Zambia, steering wheel components from Tunisia and rubber from Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Malawi, Ghana and Cameroon. The vehicles are finally fully manufactured in South Africa then exported to the US duty-free under Agoa," he said. Ramaphosa explained that the value of Agoa to African countries, however, extended beyond the impressive trade statistics. He added that Agoa could make an important contribution to the transformation of African countries from mainly being exporters of raw materials to producers of finished goods for both continental and global markets. "By enabling African countries to have preferential access to the US market, this opportunity incentivises African countries to develop and export value-added goods and services. This does and will continue to reduce Africa's dependence on primary commodities and enhance its ability to participate in global value chains," he added. Ramaphosa noted that another important element of Agoa is that it has a capacity for building a technical assistance component that supports African countries in meeting the requirements for accessing the US market. He said this assistance helps improve Africa's competitiveness by enhancing skills, knowledge and infrastructure, enabling African businesses to meet international standards. "Africa has been advocating for the integration of continental economies for a long time. Agoa encourages regional integration among African countries. To fully benefit from Agoa, countries are finding that it is far better to work together to increase production capacities, harmonise standards and develop regional value chains. This is demonstrated by the experience of 10 countries, including South Africa, in the production of motor vehicles exported to the US. This promotes cooperation, economic integration and the growth of larger regional markets within Africa," said Ramaphosa.

Luke Beling and Paul Cardall delve into an incredible journey as indie artists, tracing back to Luke's upbringing in South Africa during the tumultuous era of apartheid—a system entrenched in racial segregation.  LISTEN TO LUKE BELINGhttps://lukebeling.com/APPLE MUSICSPOTIFYAMAZONINSTAGRAMFACEBOOKYOUTUBE MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODELuke Beling and Paul Cardall delve into an incredible journey as indie artists, tracing back to Luke's upbringing in South Africa during the tumultuous era of apartheid—a system entrenched in racial segregation. The conversation unfolds as they explore Luke's unique background as a privileged youth who navigated complex dynamics of prejudice and friendship with individuals of diverse backgrounds, all set against the backdrop of Nelson Mandela's struggle for equality. Luke's childhood weekends were graced with a musical education from his father, immersing him in the soul-stirring melodies of legendary artists like the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Cat Stevens. It was within these harmonies and the subtle, submissive lyrics of Paul Simon's "Graceland" that Luke began to perceive the world through a different lens. The resonance of these artists' words ignited a fire within him to seek compassion and understanding, propelling him toward a path of societal change through his own artistic expression. Amidst being a promising tennis player, Luke's journey unfolded further as he secured a scholarship to Campbellsville in Kentucky. Here, he found himself in the midst of a musical community that would catalyze his transformation into a songwriter. Paul and Luke engage in an exploration of Luke's creative process, unveiling the intricate art of crafting stories through music, likening it to a vigorous workout at the gym—shaping narratives that resonate with the soul. Luke's profound connection to his roots in Africa emerges in his poignant musical compositions, touching on the realities of a nation ravaged by AIDS, juxtaposed against the breathtaking beauty of the landscape. They contemplate the tragic paradox of such stunning places marred by a history of suffering. Intriguingly, the conversation shifts to Luke's creative focus on Lesotho—a landlocked haven in Southern Africa, boasting towering mountains and serene valleys, steeped in a rich history of political autonomy. The narrative takes a twist as they delve into Luke's transition to Hawaii, where he now resides with his family. The discussion culminates in a reflection on his song "Pacific," encapsulating the irresistible pull he experienced, drawing him across the vast expanse of the Pacific to find solace and purpose on an island—a journey that mirrors the rhythm of his life and art. ABOUT THE HOST & PIANISThttp://www.paulcardall.comhttps://www.facebook.com/PaulCardallMusic/https://www.instagram.com/paulcardall/ LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC:SPOTIFYAPPLE MUSICAMAZON

This is episode 142. It would be remiss of me not to say Congratulations Bokke on a gritty win over the All Blacks to become world champions for a record fourth time. With that said, picture the scene. We are standing on the western slopes of the Drakensberg, looking out across the Caledon Valley. The rivers we see here flow westward, into the Atlantic Ocean. Far to the south east lie the villages of the amaThembu on the slopes of the mountains that are now part of the Transkei. This is a follow up episode of a sort from episode 141, because last week we spoke about the Orange River, and the Caledon River is a tributary of the Orange. It rises in the Drakensberg, on the Lesotho–South Africa border, and flows generally southwest, forming most of the boundary between Lesotho and Free State province. The Caledon flows through southeastern Free State to join the Orange River near Bethulie after a course of 480 km. Its valley has one of the greatest temperature ranges in South Africa and is an excellent place to grow maize or other grains. But in April 1835 Moshoeshoe was eyeing the equally verdant land to his south, amaThembu land and led a powerful and large expedition of more than 700 men along with a hundred pack-oxen loaded with food south easterly over the Maloti mountains towards these people. At first his raid went according to plan, he seized a rich booty of cattle. The amaThembu were also facing raids from the other direction, the British who were conducting their Sixth Frontier War so they were in a rather invidious position. Moshoeshoe was blooding his sons Letsie and Molapo in battle. They had become restless back at his Morija headquarters and their frustration grew when Moshoeshoe denied them permission to attack the Kora who'd setup camp nearby. As the Basotho withdrew after the raid, they were ambushed by the amaThembu and lost most of their livestock. Worse, Moshoeshoe's brother Makhabane was killed and he suffered heavy casualties. Moshoeshoe would never again send another full-scale expedition into amaXhosa or amaThembu territory. This change of strategy was fully supported by the missionaries who had begun living with Moshoeshoe's people. What followed would be a remarkable partnership which is still hotly debated today and the interests of the missionaries would be further expanded or extended by the interests of the Basotho leader. Another interesting change was taking place for the people of this mountain territory, driven by missionaries both the French and the English. This is because the religion of the 19th-century Sotho speakers was defined chiefly by its outward manifestation, the signs on the land, the animals, things going on that you can hear, smell, touch, see. Religion, as the Sotho term ‘borapeli' illustrates, was what people did and not what they believed. This is a fundamental foundational difference that stymied the first missionaries at first. The translation of molimo as God inaugurated a new era where there was a fixation on linear progression in an age of evolutionary thinking, where Protestantism was the theology. How did Molimo interlink with Tlatla-Mochilo? For the missionaries, this was an immense philosophical wrestling match. This is where Tsapi, a man described as Moshoeshoe's advisor and diviner re-enters our story for a moment. Thanks to one of my listeners who is a descendent of Tsapi by the name of Seanaphoka for providing some more background. Tsapi was actually the first son of the Bafokeng Tribal Chief Seephephe. Tsapi had a sister called Mabela, who was Moshoeshoe's first wife and as Queen Consort she took the name MmaMohato. Tsapi became Advisor and Senior Council member of Moshoeshoe.
