Podcasts about mnangagwa

In this episode, the full crew gets together for a rare midweek recording and starts off with the realities of getting older, gym avoidance, failing knees, personal trainers and the terrifying speed at which the years seem to be moving. Then comes the biggest announcement of the episode: after ten years, The Dojo Podcast as you know it is coming to an end. The crew reflects on how much life has changed, how difficult it has become to get four adults into the same room every week, the journey from the earliest recordings to now, and what they hope to do with the final stretch of the podcast — while calling on listeners to share their favourite episodes, wildest moments and what The Dojo has meant to them over the years.From there, the conversation moves into Zimbabwe's constitutional and electoral changes, Mnangagwa's extended time in office, whether presidents sometimes need longer than five years to genuinely change a country, and whether constitutions should really be treated as untouchable documents. The crew debates direct presidential elections, party politics, term limits, the balance between youthful leadership and the wisdom of older statesmen, and whether a political reform should be judged differently depending on who is benefiting from it.The discussion then turns to former Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, attempts to have her disbarred, professional ethics and whether political figures face consistent standards of accountability. That opens a much broader conversation about Jacob Zuma, selective outrage, political persecution, the power of media ownership and the uncomfortable reality that whoever controls the media often gets to control the narrative.Things widen further into a heated discussion about Black solidarity, anti-imperialism and why Black people so often show up for the struggles of others while receiving little solidarity in return. The crew gets into Palestine, Sudan, Russia, China, Cuba, Western imperialism, the dangers of replacing one powerful “friend” with another, and why African political movements rarely seem to build meaningful relationships with leaders and movements on the continent itself. From there, they question the absence of strong Black-owned media and professional institutions, discuss status, monarchy, African elites and the need to build our own spaces rather than constantly seeking acceptance elsewhere.The episode closes with a wider debate about African leadership, the Sahel and figures like Ibrahim Traoré, whether developing nations sometimes become distracted by culture-war issues while basic state-building remains unfinished, and what genuine Pan-Africanism should actually look like in practice. Through all of it, the crew keeps returning to the bigger question hanging over the episode: after ten years of talking, arguing, growing and sometimes getting it completely wrong — what does the end of The Dojo actually mean, and what comes next?

Zimbabwe's constitutional reform push is sparking intense debate. Critics warn it could extend President Mnangagwa's term and significantly impact how leaders are chosen, but supporters say it will stabilize the country. As public hearings continue, Eddy Micah Jr. speaks with activist Namatai Kwekweza and DW correspondent Columbus Mavhunga to unpack what it means for ordinary Zimbabweans.

Thousands of Zimbabweans have gathered across the country to debate the proposed Constitution Amendment Bill No. 3. The bill proposes extending presidential and parliamentary terms from 5 to 7 years and consolidating executive control over state institutions.

Eight years after Mugabe's fall, Mnangagwa's Zimbabwe is haunted by repression, fear, and division. Is the opposition failing, or is the ruling party too ruthless to be challenged?

Impressive, meaningful and historic — such were the keywords used by global leaders as they marveled at China's military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War.“令人印象深刻、富有意义且具有历史意义”——这是各国领导人在赞叹中国纪念中国人民抗日战争（1931-1945年）暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年阅兵仪式时，所使用的关键词。President Xi Jinping was joined by 26 foreign heads of state and government, as well as parliamentary speakers, deputy prime ministers and high-level representatives from different countries, on Wednesday as he oversaw a parade that showcased a range of China's new military hardware.周三，习近平主席同26位外国国家元首、政府首脑以及各国议会领导人、副总理和高级代表一道，出席阅兵观礼。此次阅兵展示了中国一系列新型军事装备。For the global leaders, the experience at the Tian'anmen Rostrum, where they witnessed the commemoration firsthand, was both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking.对于各国领导人而言，在天安门城楼亲身体验这场纪念活动，亲眼见证阅兵全过程，既令人心潮澎湃，也引人深思。According to a report by Russia's state news agency TASS, Russian President Vladimir Putin described Beijing's commemorative events as "held brilliantly, and simply very well, at a high level".据俄罗斯国家通讯社塔斯社报道，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔・普京称北京的纪念活动“举办得非常出色，水准极高，令人赞叹”。Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, writing on his X account, highlighted that the commemoration "serves as a symbol of China's strength and courage as a nation steadfastly fighting for independence, safeguarding sovereignty, and actively playing a role in realizing world peace".印度尼西亚总统普拉博沃・苏比安托在其X平台账号上发文指出，此次纪念活动“是中国作为一个国家的力量与勇气的象征——中国坚定争取独立、维护主权，并积极为实现世界和平发挥作用”。"On this occasion, I conveyed my appreciation for the significant contributions of the People's Republic of China in maintaining global security," he wrote on Thursday, adding, "Upholding the spirit of the Victory Day, let us continue to strengthen the sustainable cooperation between Indonesia and China for the benefit of both countries."“值此之际，我对中华人民共和国在维护全球安全方面所作出的重大贡献表示赞赏。”他于周四写道，并补充道，“让我们秉持胜利日精神，继续加强印度尼西亚与中国之间的可持续合作，以造福两国人民。”The press service of Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev wrote in a post on X that the event reaffirmed Uzbekistan's foreign policy commitment to "fostering friendship and constructive dialogue for peace, sustainable development and prosperity".乌兹别克斯坦总统沙夫卡特・米尔济约耶夫的新闻办公室在X平台的一篇帖子中表示，此次活动再次彰显了乌兹别克斯坦在外交政策上的承诺，即“为实现和平、可持续发展与繁荣，推动友好关系与建设性对话”。In a bilateral meeting with Xi on Thursday, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa extended congratulations to China for hosting a "spectacular parade", saying the event was "something out of this world".在周四与习近平的双边会晤中，津巴布韦总统埃默森·姆南加古瓦就中国举办一场“壮观的阅兵式”向中国表示祝贺，称该活动“超凡脱俗”。"Undoubtedly, the commemorations will go a long way to promote the correct historical narrative of China's great contribution to World War II. The spirit of resilience of the Chinese people and their ironclad strength will remain a source of inspiration for generations to come," Mnangagwa said.“毫无疑问，此次纪念活动将极大地推动人们正确认识中国在二战中所作出的重大贡献这一历史事实。中国人民坚韧不拔的精神及其坚不可摧的力量，将继续成为激励世世代代的精神源泉。”姆南加古瓦表示。In a video posted on his account on X, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said that while some people interpreted the parade as a demonstration of China's military strength, he believes the event should "be viewed in the context of the serious statements made by Chinese President Xi Jinping".斯洛伐克总理罗伯特・菲科在其X账号发布的一段视频中表示，虽然有些人将此次阅兵解读为中国军事实力的展示，但他认为应该“从中国国家主席习近平发表的重要讲话这一背景下去看待”此次活动。"The Chinese president made it very clear that the world is facing a choice between peace and war, and that China has the will to play a decisive role in shaping the new peaceful order of the world," he said.“中国国家主席明确表示，当今世界正面临和平与战争的选择，而中国有意愿在构建世界新和平秩序中发挥决定性作用。”他说道。"I once again express my regret that the top representatives of the EU member states were absent from such a global event," Fico said. "If they thought that by doing so they would isolate China's celebrations of victory in World War II, they badly miscalculated."“对于欧盟成员国最高代表缺席这一全球性活动，我再次表示遗憾。”菲佐表示，“如果他们认为此举能孤立中国的二战胜利纪念活动，那他们就大错特错了。”Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said it was an honor for him and his wife to view the event from the Tian'anmen Rostrum, adding that he thanks the Chinese president for "this meaningful and historic experience".马来西亚总理安华・易卜拉欣表示，能与夫人在天安门城楼观看此次活动，对他而言是一份荣幸。他还补充道，感谢中国国家主席给予他“这段富有意义且具有历史意义的经历”。"Beyond the impressive display of China's military assets, the parade stood as a powerful symbol of resistance against tyranny, oppression, aggression, greed for power, colonialism and imperialism — dark chapters in the history of human civilization," he said.他表示：“除了中国令人印象深刻的军事装备展示外，此次阅兵更是反抗暴政、压迫、侵略、权力贪欲、殖民主义与帝国主义的有力象征——这些都是人类文明史上的黑暗篇章。”"Yet, eight decades after the war's end, the world continues to face injustices and atrocities that unfold openly, often without challenge from major powers who speak loudly of democracy and human rights. True peace demands courage and firm conviction to reject injustice in all its forms," he said.他表示：“然而，在战争结束80年后，世界仍在遭遇各类不公与暴行，这些现象公然发生，而那些高谈民主与人权的大国往往对此无动于衷。真正的和平需要勇气与坚定的信念，去抵制一切形式的不公。”Miguel Diaz-Canel, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and Cuban president, said on his social media account, "Between a millennial history and a present that inspires millions, China leads today the battle for the rescue of multilateralism and global governance."古巴共产党中央委员会第一书记、古巴国家主席米格尔・迪亚斯-卡内尔在其社交媒体账号上表示：“在拥有千年历史的积淀与激励着数百万人的当下之间，中国如今正引领着维护多边主义、完善全球治理的斗争。”"Proud to support and share those postulates, Cuba is honored to attend the commemoration of the V-Day," he wrote.“古巴自豪地支持并认同这些原则，能出席此次胜利日纪念活动，我们深感荣幸。”他写道。Former Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama said in an interview on his return to Japan after taking part in the V-Day events that he was deeply struck by the conviction that Japan must learn from history in order to face the future.日本前首相鸠山由纪夫在出席胜利日活动后返回日本接受采访时表示，他深切感受到，日本必须以史为鉴，才能面向未来，这一信念给他留下了深刻印象。"I, as a Japanese, attended the commemoration with a sense of reflection and remorse. I am grateful to have been invited to take part in the ceremony; it was highly meaningful," he told China Central Television.他在接受中国中央电视台采访时表示：“作为一名日本人，我怀着反思与愧疚的心情出席了此次纪念活动。非常感谢能受邀参与这一仪式，它具有极高的意义。”

Die Zimbabwiese polisie sê hulle het 95 mense in hegtenis geneem vir die aanhitsing van openbare geweld na 'n betoging om president Emmerson Mnangagwa uit die kussings te lig. Die groep het in die hof verskyn ná gister se versetoptrede wat gereël is deur 'n veteraan wat eens deel was van Mnangagwa se party, ZANU-PF. Die 95 was tussen 200 mense wat saamgedrom het op Vryheidsplein in Harare, die polisie met klippe bestook en 'n hoofroete tydelik versper het terwyl hulle slagspreuke gedreunsang het. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Setfree Mafukidze, 'n kommentator van die Health Factor in Zimbabwe, gepraat:

La photo de Kirsty Coventry, est à la Une du quotidien zimbabwéen The Herald, souriante, derrière un pupitre affichant les cinq anneaux olympiques. Elle est, précise le journal, « la première femme et la première africaine à être élue à ce poste en 131 ans d'histoire du mouvement olympique ». Kistry Coventry est également « la plus jeune à être élue à ce poste, après avoir remporté la victoire devant six autres concurrents dans un domaine des poids lourds, où tous ses rivaux étaient des hommes ». « Un moment de fierté pour le pays et le continent africain », a commenté le président zimbabwéen Mnangagwa. Kirsty Coventry, championne de natation issue de la minorité blanche, a elle-même « participé à cinq Jeux Olympiques différents », précise New Zimbabwé. « Entre ses débuts à Sydney en 2000 et sa dernière participation à Rio en 2016, elle a remporté sept médailles olympiques, dont l'or au 200 mètres dos à Athènes et à Pékin en 2008 ».EnthousiasteEt sa tâche à la tête du CIO ne s'annonce pas des plus faciles. « Elle prend le relais à une époque d'incertitude géopolitique à travers le monde », constate the Herald, à une époque d'incertitude et de « questions sur l'orientation du mouvement olympique au 21 ème siècle, alors qu'une attention plus grande que jamais est portée sur les questions de genre, et d'égalité entre autres ». Néanmoins, Kirsty Coventry était hier très enthousiaste : « je n'aurais jamais imaginé me retrouver un jour ici », a-t-elle dit. « Je dirigerai cette organisation avec une grande fierté, en incarnant les valeurs qu'elle représente ».Tension accrueDans la presse africaine également, l'Algérie… L'Algérie où la justice a requis hier 10 ans de prison contre Boualem Sansal, l'écrivain franco-algérien âgé de 80 ans, emprisonné en Algérie depuis le 16 novembre et accusé notamment « d'atteinte à l'intégrité territoriale de l'Algérie ». Le verdict sera rendu la semaine prochaine, le 27 mars. « Lourde peine requise », titre TSA, Tout sur l'Algérie. L'écrivain, écrit le journal, « avait tenu des propos attentatoires à l'intégrité du territoire national. Dans une interview au média français d'extrême-droite Frontières, en octobre dernier, il avait soutenu que la France coloniale avait tronqué le territoire marocain au profit de l'Algérie ». Hier, à l'audience, poursuit TSA, « Boualem Sansal n'était pas assisté d'un avocat. Il a préféré assurer lui-même sa défense », assurant « qu'il n'avait fait qu'exprimer une opinion, comme tout citoyen algérien ». « Dans la crise entre Alger et Paris qui dure depuis plus de sept mois » poursuit TSA, « l'affaire Sansal a aggravé les tensions entre les deux pays ».Elan de soutien en FranceUne affaire sur laquelle revient également Afrik.com. « Elle s'inscrit dans un contexte diplomatique fragile », renchérit le quotidien en ligne. « Les relations entre les deux pays se sont récemment détériorées, particulièrement après la reconnaissance par le président français Emmanuel Macron, en juillet 2024, d'un plan d'autonomie pour le Sahara occidental sous souveraineté marocaine, un sujet sensible pour l'Algérie...». « Depuis lors, poursuit Afrik.com, l'affaire Boualem Sansal est devenue un point de friction supplémentaire, dans cette relation déjà tendue ». Car, assure le quotidien, « l'écrivain est un proche de Bruno Retailleau, le ministre de l'Intérieur français ». El Watan de son côté, ajoute que l'affaire Boualem Sansal, « qui bénéficie d'un vaste élan de soutien en France, a aggravé les tensions entre Alger et Paris, dont les relations se sont brutalement dégradées en juillet 2024 ». Notons qu'Algérie Presse Service, l'APS, l'agence de presse publique algérienne, ne dit pas un mot de l'audience d'hier, lors de laquelle une peine de dix ans de prison a donc été requise contre Boualem Sansal.

Die politiek in Zimbabwe wek kommer. Die oorlogsveteraan en voormalige geheimediensbeampte, Blessed Geza, vra vir 'n landswye opstand teen president Emmerson Mnangagwa op 31 Maart. Geza, wat visepresident Constantino Chiwenga ondersteun, het Mnangagwa van korrupsie en betrokkenheid by die dood van nasionale leiers en militêre generaals beskuldig. Hy het ook polisiehoof Stephen Mutamba gewaarsku om nie betogers in hegtenis te neem en met onbepaalde tronkstraf gedreig indien die opstand slaag.

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa recently told journalists that he has no interest in extending his term of office. “These terms are very definite, and I'm so democratic. When they come to an end, I will step aside and my party will elect my successor”, he said. But will the head of state really hand over the baton to someone else? Towards the end of last year, Mnangagwa's party, Zanu PF passed a resolution to extend his term when it ends in 2028. Some in Zimbabwe believe the president is in fact playing politics and that he intends to consolidate his power. At the same time, a group of Zanu PF war veterans are pushing for Mnangagwa to immediately vacate his office, accusing him of failing to improve the country.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, who is in Beijing for the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and a state visit.During their meeting at the Great Hall of the People, Xi said the two countries have always respected each other as equals and have pursued strength through unity and engaged in win-win cooperation since the establishment of diplomatic ties more than half a century ago.In recent years, a large number of exemplary cooperation projects with strategic importance have been implemented between China and Nigeria under the FOCAC framework, he said."I am willing to work together with Mr President to fully leverage the exemplary role of the China-Nigeria relationship and jointly promote new and greater development in relations between the two countries as well as between China and Africa," Xi told Tinubu.Nigeria is China's second-largest export market in Africa and is also a major investment destination and a major trading partner of China on the continent.Over the years, Chinese companies have constructed many signature projects in Nigeria, including the Lekki Deep Sea Port, the largest seaport in the country and one of the biggest in West Africa.As the two countries join hands to realize their respective modernization through high-quality cooperation, Xi stressed the necessity to promote integrated development between infrastructure, energy, mining and industries, and called for efforts to foster new growth points for cooperation in the digital economy, new energy and other areas.It is also hoped that Nigeria will ensure the safety of Chinese personnel and projects in the African country, he said.Xi said China supports Nigeria in combating terrorism, maintaining regional stability and playing a greater role in international and regional affairs. Furthermore, China will enhance multilateral coordination with Nigeria to jointly safeguard the interests of developing countries, he added.Noting that FOCAC is not only an effective mechanism for promoting China-Africa practical cooperation but also a banner of South-South cooperation, Xi said China is willing to take the summit as an opportunity to inject new momentum into the development of China-Africa relations in the new era.Tinubu said that deepening economic cooperation and developing the comprehensive strategic partnership between Nigeria and China are crucial for the future development of his country.Nigeria, which has the largest population in Africa, hopes to become China's largest trade and investment partner on the continent and welcomes more investment from Chinese companies, and also hopes to expand mutually beneficial cooperation in such areas as agriculture and manufacturing, he said.This will assist Nigeria and West Africa in their modernization efforts and effectively alleviate poverty, the Nigerian president said, adding that his country will provide a secure environment for achieving this objective.Tinubu also thanked China for providing important training opportunities for young people in Nigeria and expressed readiness to deepen people-to-people exchanges.After their talks, the two heads of state witnessed the signing of multiple cooperation documents related to the Belt and Road, applications of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System, peanut exports to China and other matters.
