Moçambique e África do Sul preparam a transladação de seis moçambicanos mortos em ataques xenófobos. Maputo condena a violência e Pretória promete reforçar o repatriamento de imigrantes ilegais. Em Lichinga, escolas carecem de carteiras, livros e muros de proteção, e na Zambézia extinção do ensino noturno preocupa alunos e encerregados de educação.

La photo du jeune Nhlamulo Sambo, 18 ans, est partout dans la presse sud-africaine : c'est l'une des trois victimes des violences du week-end dernier dans un bidonville de Mossel Bay, ville côtière dans la province du Cap-Occidental. Les deux autres victimes sont des ressortissants mozambicains. Le jeune homme, de nationalité sud-africaine, aurait été pris pour un étranger… « Les manifestations contre la présence d'étrangers illégaux avaient débuté dans le bidonville d'Asla Park vendredi dernier, explique le Mossel Bay Advertiser, et dès le lendemain, la situation s'était envenimée, entraînant l'incendie de plusieurs maisons et laissant des centaines de personnes sans abri. » Le bilan est donc de trois morts et « plus de 400 Mozambicains ont été évacués de Mossel Bay et une centaine de ressortissants étrangers reçoivent encore de l'aide », pointe le Cape Times. Le Cape Times qui précise que ces « troubles de Mossel Bay font suite à des incidents similaires survenus dans tout le pays. (…) À l'origine de plusieurs de ces manifestations contre les étrangers sans papiers : le groupe anti-immigration March and March, relève le quotidien sud-africain, un groupe qui brandit la menace d'une grève générale le 30 juin si le gouvernement ne répond pas à ses revendications. Des informations font état de groupes d'autodéfense [au sein de ce groupe] contrôlant les papiers d'identité des étrangers et contraignant les petits commerces tenus par des non-Sud-Africains à fermer leurs portes. » Le groupe extrémiste March and march… En fait, relève Le Monde Afrique, « l'Afrique du Sud connait des tensions xénophobes allant jusqu'à la violence depuis près de vingt ans. Les populations immigrées prises pour cibles sont notamment d'origine africaine et asiatique. » Et « depuis plusieurs mois, le pays est le théâtre de manifestations portées par des groupes qui se revendiquent anti-immigration illégale. Parmi les mouvements impliqués, on retrouve (donc) ce groupuscule extrémiste March and March. Leurs rassemblements virent souvent à la chasse à l'homme, de quoi terrifier les personnes immigrées et pousser leurs gouvernements d'origine à organiser leur rapatriement. » Ce groupe, « créé l'année dernière, précise Le Point Afrique, se présente comme une organisation civile de lutte contre l'immigration illégale, qu'il juge responsable du chômage et de la criminalité, qui est très élevée. March and March affirme ne dénoncer que l'immigration illégale, ce que les victimes de leurs actions contestent. À Durban, l'épicentre des récentes manifestations, environ 500 étrangers se sont réfugiés près d'une station de police, affirmant avoir été victimes d'intimidation ou d'expulsion de leur domicile. Les autorités, qui les ont ensuite transportés dans un centre de réfugiés, ont indiqué que seules deux personnes étaient en situation irrégulière. Malgré les efforts du gouvernement de Pretoria pour désamorcer la situation – il a notamment convié les représentants de March and March à des discussions au sujet de l'immigration illégale –, le groupe reste intransigeant, relève encore Le Point Afrique : il exige le départ ou la déportation de tous les immigrés illégaux avant le 30 juin, date à laquelle il menace d'organiser un blocage national. » Évacuations massives… Conséquence de ces manifestations xénophobes et de ces menaces, pointe le Daily Maverick : « Des centaines de ressortissants étrangers sont évacués d'Afrique du Sud par leurs gouvernements respectifs. Le Nigeria prévoit de rapatrier par avion entre 2 000 et 4 000 de ses ressortissants. Le Mozambique a déjà évacué par bus 545 personnes et se tient prêt à en rapatrier davantage. Le gouvernement malawite a annoncé cette semaine qu'il aiderait également ses ressortissants à quitter l'Afrique du Sud. Et la semaine dernière, le Ghana a affrété un vol pour rapatrier 297 Ghanéens. »  Mieux réguler l'immigration… Enfin, The Star, autre quotidien sud-africain, met en avant cette contradiction : « L'Afrique du Sud veut s'ouvrir aux marchés africains tout en refoulant les migrants africains. (…) Des secteurs entiers de l'économie informelle dépendent du travail transfrontalier, tout en feignant publiquement d'ignorer cette dépendance : agriculture, construction, travail domestique, hôtellerie. Ces secteurs ne pourraient fonctionner à leur échelle actuelle sans travailleurs étrangers. » Et le Star de hausser le ton : « Un État incapable de gérer les entrées et les sorties du territoire n'exerce pas sa souveraineté. L'Afrique du Sud a besoin d'une administration de l'immigration fonctionnelle, d'une application crédible de la loi et d'une réglementation du marché du travail efficace. » À lire aussiEn Afrique du Sud, des centaines de Ghanéens fuient le pays face aux tensions xénophobes

Western Cape police say they are investigating violence in Mossel Bay following deadly incidents in KwaNonqaba and nearby informal settlements. Authorities say two Mozambican nationals and a South African teenager were killed in separate attacks linked to recent unrest. Police report that about 55 shacks were torched during the violence in Asla Park, prompting rapid deployment of public order units and emergency services. The South African Police Service says calm has since been restored, with several arrests already made on charges including public violence and possession of stolen property. Investigations continue into the killings, with detectives pursuing known suspects in one of the murder cases.Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter Sagree Chetty

Episode: The Garden Route, South Africa Today's episode is an FAQ on what the Garden Route is, a bit about the route, and my mistakes on it. The FAQ is: What is the Garden Route? It sounds lovely, but what is it actually? Answer:  The Garden Route is a re-branded name for a region in Africa. It's a 190-mile stretch of South Africa's southeastern coast, stretching from Mossel Bay to the Storms River. It is a popular tourist road trip known for lush forests, dramatic mountain scenery, lakes, and sandy beaches. The area features a mild, year-round temperate climate, making it a premier, safe destination for outdoor activities. I drove it in 2025, all on the left side of the road, in a rental car, and there were almost no traffic lights or even traffic. Listen to the full episode to learn how I got a traffic ticket and what happened later. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today is the Confidence Challenge on the Garden Route Driving on the left side of the road was a huge challenge for me. To do it well, think of big right turns and small left turns. Follow the car in front of you if you get mixed up. It should be practiced on local streets before you enter a busy city, like Cape Town, South Africa. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into getting around in Step 4 travel, while moving through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign language communication tips. Find Books A, and B and soon C, on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is the Garden Route, South Africa. Today we're heading to one of the most spectacular coastal drives in the world — The Garden Route in South Africa, just about six to seven hours from Cape Town. I was inspired by Rose from our Bucket List Travel Series and had to visit for my own experience. Six hours of driving sounds long. But here's the question: when was the last time you permitted yourself to take the scenic road? And I split it into two days of driving. You can drive it yourself as I did, or take a Greyhound bus, which is comfortable and reliable. If you prefer less stress, the bus is a solid option. But driving gives you flexibility — and plenty of lessons. And the buses weren't flexible with their pickup times, like one am, which isn't my idea of a convenient pickup at a bus stop. I left Fish Hoek in the Cape Town area at 8 a.m. on a Sunday. Within thirty minutes, the coast was visible — waves crashing, sand drifting across the road, endless sky. And yes, you'll also see contrasts. There are informal settlements along the way. Women carrying water jugs. Shacks near beaches. South Africa is breathtaking — and complex. Once I found the N2 — after missing a turn and driving nearly an hour too far — the journey truly began. Note to self: don't rely only on instinct. Download your maps offline. And don't speed. Tickets are expensive. My first major stop was Knysna (NICE-nuh) Heads — two dramatic cliffs guarding a lagoon entrance. I is spelled: K N Y S N A. Knysna means NICE-nuh (/ˈnaɪznə/), with a silent 'K'. It is a Khoikhoi word meaning "place of wood" or "fern leaves," and it is located in the Western Cape of South Africa. The views from above the cliffs are unforgettable. It's hard to describe, but picture what Robinson Curuso (spelling) may have seen from his travels. Then on to Plettenberg Bay, where I walked Lookout Beach. Here you will see Volleyball games, rustic beach restaurants, and wide open space. If you swim, check the tides — and yes, the water is cold, but refreshing. Around 17°C in some areas, and slightly warmer than Fish Hoek. For nature lovers, Robberg Nature Reserve is worth the small entrance fee — about 65 Rand or 4 dollars.  I hiked partway. It's rocky and slippery, so take care. I saw seals — hundreds of them — birds soaring, and even a whale in the distance. I walked over 16,000 steps that day. Alone. Strong. Capable. And here's something beautiful: I stayed at a simple hostel in Sedgefield — about $25 a night. The owner made us dinner. My roommate, Mary, from Germany, had been traveling solo for 12 months. She quit her corporate logistics job and became, as she said, "the package." She left for Kazakhstan the next morning. Inspiring, isn't it? On the drive back toward Cape Town, I saw baboons crossing the road — mothers with babies on their backs: cows, sheep, rolling hills. One truck had spilled cement across the highway. Life happens. Stay alert. Top speed is 120 kilometers per hour. You pass on the right. Big sweeping turns. It's not a casual drive; it requires focus. Now, while you're near Cape Town, consider booking a private taxi driver for a full-day tour if you don't want to drive on the left side of the road as I did. Include Chapman's Peak Drive, Boulders Beach to see penguins, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, and sunset atop Table Mountain. You can hike up via Platteklip Gorge or Skeleton Gorge (which includes ladders) and take the cable car down if your knees prefer that option. There is no shame in the cable car. Add a visit to Stellenbosch wine country, Blaauwklippen for its weekend market, Guardian Peak for views, or Ernie Els for something more upscale. And don't miss the (oh-RUN-yuh-zicht) Oranjezicht City Farmers Market on a Saturday morning. Here's the mistake some first-time visitors make: they rush the Garden Route. This is not a checklist destination. It's a rhythm. It's Youth Day celebrations on June 16th. It's cheering runners at a 10K before you can drive out because your house sits on the course. It's dinner with strangers who become friends. The Garden Route reminds you that solo does not mean alone. If you are 50-plus and wondering whether the Garden Route drive is "too much," I would gently challenge that thought. With preparation, awareness, and pacing, it's absolutely doable. And unforgettable.

The famous and beloved Garden Route steam train, the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe, is set to make a return. Operations between Knysna and George were halted after the heavy rainfalls of 2006 and 2007 had washed away roads and infrastructure, and despite an attempt to run the train between George and Mossel Bay to the west, it came to an end in 2010.

D'abord petit rappel, le cap de Bonne-Espérance est l'un des passages maritimes les plus célèbres du monde. Il est situé à la pointe sud-ouest de l'Afrique. Contrairement à ce que beaucoup pensent, il ne marque pas la véritable extrémité sud du continent – c'est le cap des Aiguilles – mais il fut longtemps le symbole de la frontière entre l'Atlantique et l'océan Indien. Pour les navigateurs du XVe siècle, c'était surtout une zone terrifiante : vents violents, vagues gigantesques, brouillard soudain. On raconte que de nombreux navires y firent naufrage.Bartolomeu Dias, l'homme du capL'histoire du nom commence en 1488. L'explorateur portugais Bartolomeu Dias, mandaté par le roi Jean II du Portugal, cherche une route maritime vers les Indes en contournant l'Afrique. Après des semaines de navigation éprouvante, il est pris dans une tempête qui le pousse plus au sud qu'il ne l'imagine. Lorsqu'il retrouve la côte et mouille à Mossel Bay, il comprend qu'il a franchi le cap qui ouvre la route de l'océan Indien.Dias baptise d'abord ce promontoire cap des Tempêtes (Cabo das Tormentas) en mémoire des vents qui ont failli lui coûter la vie.Un roi qui voit plus loinMais à Lisbonne, le roi Jean II voit les choses autrement. Pour lui, ce cap marque la possibilité d'une nouvelle route commerciale vers les épices d'Asie, évitant les intermédiaires arabes et vénitiens. C'est une promesse d'enrichissement et de puissance. Alors, il décide de renommer le lieu cap de Bonne-Espérance (Cabo da Boa Esperança). Une manière de transformer une terre de danger en symbole d'avenir radieux.Une appellation qui traverse les sièclesLe nom s'impose et restera. Au fil du temps, le cap de Bonne-Espérance devient une escale stratégique pour les navigateurs européens. Au XVIIe siècle, les Hollandais y établissent une colonie, Le Cap, qui deviendra plus tard la capitale parlementaire de l'Afrique du Sud.ConclusionAinsi, ce nom n'est pas une simple description géographique, mais un message d'optimisme : malgré les tempêtes, ce promontoire représentait l'espoir d'un monde nouveau. Et cinq siècles plus tard, le cap de Bonne-Espérance reste un symbole universel : celui d'un passage difficile, mais porteur de promesses. Hébergé par Acast.

The Patriotic Alliance (PA) scored a shock win last night over the Democratic Alliance (DA) in a Paarl in a ward where it got 43% of the vote after getting only 1% there in 2021. Elections analyst Wayne Sussman tells BizNews: “…this means that Gayton McKenzie and the Patriotic Alliance are edging closer and closer to the City of Cape Town. If they can win seats off the DA in the DA stronghold of Mossel Bay, in places like Amstelhof Paarl, what can they do to the Democratic Alliance in the City of Cape Town? So, I would sense that there's great concern for the DA at DA headquarters today.” The PA win came despite the suspension of PA Deputy President Kenny Kunene after he was found at the Sandton home of a murder suspect. Sussman says: “ I think that this will have no impact on the PA in the Western Cape or the Northern Cape or the Eastern Cape. However, in Gauteng, this could present a challenge… …to the PA amongst its Black voters.” In other by-election results, Sussman comments on the African National Congress (ANC) seeing its vote share fall to 37% in a ward in the traditional stronghold of Sebokeng. “So this is major turbulence, major upheaval in a core Gauteng township. And I believe that this basically could be a harbinger of things to come in the next local government elections.”

Upperroom moment: we're joined by Grant Crawford from One Life Church. Leaders and members from Plett, Knysna, George, and Mossel Bay gathered for a powerful time together as Grant unpacked the leadership principles found in Luke 10. From sending out the 72 to lessons on mission, dependence, and multiplication, this session challenged and inspired us to lead with courage and conviction.

The Patriotic Alliance (PA) has shown huge gains in by-elections at the expense of both the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA). In his latest interview with BizNews, elections analyst Wayne Sussman describes how the DA and the ANC are being affected by the PA's performances “across the length and breadth” of the Western Cape. “And this is a huge marker on the road to 2026. And Gayton McKenzie and the PA will be celebrating this victory today.” He was speaking after the PA's shock win in Mossel Bay last night. Sussman also analyses the DA performance in Tshwane where it held a ward last night, as well as the ANC seeing “some recovery” in Mpumalanga. Sussman further dissects the latest dramatic developments in the City of Joburg where the ANC Mayor survived a Vote of Confidence, but the ActionSA Speaker was ousted.

This evening we look at the markets with Sasfin Wealth, speak to energy analyst Tshepo Kgadima about Russia's Gazprombank backing out the Mossel Bay refinery deal, Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr discusses amendments to the Employment Equity Act, the FSCA discusses plans to retrieve over R5bn in outstanding pension fund payments, and new Rosond CEO Glen McGavigan chats about his new role, his love of geology, and the importance of community.

In this What's Next with Aki Anastasiou interview, ZTE's Charles Yang discusses the success of the Mossel Bay 5G Ultra-range Maritime Coverage Project — executed by MTN and ZTE. Yang is the Director of Marketing and Solutions at ZTE South Africa, and plays a key role in the development and execution of projects like the Maritime Coverage Project. Yang and ZTE approached MTN after identifying Mossel Bay Harbour as the best location to run the project — thanks to its popularity as a tourism destination and role as an economic hub. In this What's Next interview, Yang unpacks what the Mossel Bay 5G Ultra-range Maritime Coverage Project entailed. He discusses the major goals that they achieved, as well as the biggest challenges ZTE and MTN faced. Yang then expands on how ZTE and MTN overcame the typical range limitations of 5G technology to expand connectivity 22km out to sea. He details the future plans of ZTE and MTN to leverage this technology in other South African coastal regions, and explains how the project aligns with ZTE's long-term vision for Africa. Yang concludes the interview by revealing the response to the successful project in the Mossel Bay region.

In this episode of the Beyond Jaws podcast, special guest Alison Towner discusses her career studying great white sharks in South Africa. The conversation delves into her journey from the UK to South Africa, her research on orcas impacting great white populations, and the evolution of shark science over the years. Tune in to learn about Alison's fascinating work and gain a deeper understanding of these incredible species. Connect with us: Website: https://bit.ly/37TMqeKInstagram: https://bit.ly/3eorwXZ Beyond Jaws is supported by Save Our Seas Website: https://saveourseas.com/ Dave:  Website: https://www.lostsharkguy.com/ Instagram: https://bit.ly/3q1J9Q5 Andrew: Website: https://www.speakupforblue.com/ Instagram: https://bit.ly/37g5WkG The presence of killer whales, specifically known as Port and Starboard, in South Africa, particularly in areas like Hans Bay, has had a profound impact on the white shark population. These killer whales, specialized in hunting elasmobranchs, have been targeting white sharks along the coastal areas, leading to a significant decline in their numbers. The killer whales have been observed hunting and preying on white sharks, resulting in eviscerated carcasses and altered behavior in the white shark population. The continuous presence of killer whales in these areas has caused white sharks to flee from their traditional aggregation sites, such as Dire Island, leading to a shift in their distribution and abundance. The predatory pressure exerted by the killer whales has disrupted the coastal ecology, causing a ripple effect on other marine species. For example, the increased predation on white sharks has led to changes in the behavior of other mesopredators like bronze whaler sharks and an increase in competition for food resources among species like Cape fur seals and African penguins. The impact of killer whales on the white shark population has been a cause for concern among researchers and conservationists. The rapid decline in white shark numbers in areas like Hans Bay has raised questions about the broader implications of such predator-prey dynamics on marine ecosystems. The altered coastal ecology due to the presence of killer whales highlights the interconnectedness of species and the delicate balance within marine environments. The relocation and behavioral changes observed in white sharks, possibly in response to the predatory pressure from killer whales, suggest a complex and evolving relationship between these apex predators. The relocation of white sharks to offshore areas and unexpected fishing grounds indicate a potential shift in their foraging behavior and distribution patterns. This adaptation to avoid predation by killer whales showcases the resilience and adaptability of white sharks in response to changing environmental pressures. The behavior of killer whales, specifically the pair known as Port and Starboard, targeting and hunting white sharks has caused significant disruptions in the marine ecosystem in South Africa. The presence of these killer whales has led to a decrease in the white shark population in areas like Hans Bay, Mossel Bay, and False Bay. This decline in white sharks has had a cascading effect on other species in the ecosystem. One of the consequences of the decline in white sharks is the increase in Cape fur seals, as mentioned in the episode. With fewer white sharks preying on them, the Cape fur seal population has exploded, leading to potential competition for food resources with other species like African penguins. The increased predation pressure from Cape fur seals on African penguins can have detrimental effects on the penguin population, further disrupting the balance of the ecosystem. The impact of killer whales on the marine ecosystem goes beyond just the direct predation on white sharks. The presence of these apex predators can alter the behavior and distribution of other species in the area. For example, the displacement of white sharks from their traditional habitats can lead to shifts in the distribution of mesopredators like bronze whaler sharks. This shift in predator dynamics can have far-reaching consequences on the entire food web in the region. The rapid and significant changes observed in the marine ecosystem due to the hunting behavior of killer whales highlight the interconnectedness of species and the delicate balance that exists in natural ecosystems. The disruptions caused by the targeted predation on white sharks by killer whales serve as a stark reminder of the complex interactions that govern marine ecosystems and the potential consequences of altering these dynamics. The movement and distribution of white sharks in South Africa have shown fluctuations, potentially indicating shifts in their range and behavior in response to the presence of killer whales. Alison Towner, a shark scientist, discussed how the arrival of killer whales, specifically a pair named Port and Starboard, in South Africa in 2017 has had a significant impact on the white shark population. The killer whales, known for their specialized hunting of elasmobranchs, particularly sharks, have caused white sharks to alter their behavior and distribution patterns. Initially, the white sharks in areas like Hans Bay and Mossel Bay experienced displacement and a decrease in numbers due to the presence of the killer whales. The orcas' hunting tactics, such as targeting white sharks and consuming their livers, have led to a rapid decline in the white shark population in these regions. The impact of the killer whales has been profound, with white sharks avoiding their traditional aggregation sites and coastal areas where the orcas are known to hunt. The response of the white sharks to the presence of killer whales has been observed to vary. Some sharks have relocated to different areas, possibly offshore, where they are less likely to encounter the orcas. This behavior suggests a potential shift in the range and distribution of white sharks in response to the threat posed by the killer whales. The fluctuations in the white shark population and their movements highlight the complex interactions between apex predators and the cascading effects on marine ecosystems. Overall, the arrival of killer whales in South Africa has disrupted the established dynamics of the marine environment, leading to changes in the behavior and distribution of white sharks. The ongoing research and monitoring of these interactions are crucial to understanding the long-term implications for the white shark population and the broader marine ecosystem in South Africa.

This is episode 160 and we're breathing the spicy smells of the semi-desert, and taking in the exotic and wonderous scenary of the Richtersveld, Namaqualand, and the stunning area around south westn Free State in the 840s. Last episode we heard about the period 1840-1843 in the southern Caledon River valley, and how the Voortrekkers like Jan Mocke were flowing into land that Moshoeshoe of the BaSotho believed was his. That was setting up a classic situation where land was the core of the ension. A lot of what we're looking at today is centred on a town largely forgotten these days, Philippolis. If you drive along the N1 between Bloemfontein and Colesburg, turn off at Trompsburg and head south west along the R717 for around 45 kilometres. It's not far from the Orange River, and it's history is certainly chequered. It's also the home town of writer and intellectual Laurens van Der Post and former Springbok Rugby player Adriaan Strauss. On the 22nd October, 1842, the country beyond the Orange River to the north-east of the Cape Colony was proclaimed British Territory and the sphere of operations of the Cape British military garrison was considerably enlarged. The emigrant Boers based in this region reacted with anger, it was Adam Kok the second the Griqualand leader who had requested protection from the British because of the increased numbers of trekkers in his vicinity. Between 1826 when Kok arrived and the 1840, Kok had managed to get along with the Boers, but the Great Trek had changed everything. The London Missionary Society had founded Philippolis in 1823 as a mission station serving the local Griqua people, named after the man you heard about last episode, Dr John Philip, who was the superintendent of the Society from 1819 to 1849. Adam Kok II settled in Philippolis with his people in 1826 and became the protector of the mission station, on condition that he promised to protect the San against the aggression of the Boers. Kok was supposed to promote peace in the region, at least that was the brief from the London Missionary Society. Instead, carnage ensued as the Griqua used Philippolis as a base for a number of deadly commandos against the San people - virtually wiping them out in the area. Ironically, the Griqua worked with Boers to conduct their raids. This violated the agreement made between the London Missionary Society and Adam Kok II and eventually the San were driven out of the area. When the Voortrekkers began showing up nearby at Colesberg which was one of the main jumping off points of the Great Trek and tension grew between the trekkers and the Griqua. 1844 - like 2024 - was a leap year. And coming up was a momentous moment. In May 24 1844 the first electrical telegram was sent by Samuel Morse from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. to the B&O Railroad "outer depot" in Baltimore, saying "What hath God wrought”. Considering that the telegram and later the radio led to television and then social media, perhaps we should all wonder What Hath God wrought. In June of 1844 the Young Men's Christian Association was formed, the YMCA, setting off a chain of events culminating in the song of the same name by the Village People. History is not all skop skiet and donder. Back on the dusty flatlands around Philippolis, Adam Kok and the Boers were blissfully unaware of the significance of all of these births and deaths across the Atlantic Ocean. Further south, in the Cape, the newly created road boards were hard at work as I mentioned, building new routes out of Cape Town, connecting the Colony to the most important port in the southern hemisphere. By this point, there were steamships operating between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, which oftened called in at Mossel Bay. Other ships began flocking in huge numbers to a bunch of islands off Namaqualand .. the Great Guano Rush had started at the end of 1843 and really got going in 1844. It was discovered that vast deposits of guano on uninhabited island.

There is "almost zero chance" Eskom or another intervening authority, can end load shedding in South Africa any time in the next two years, one of South Africa's leading energy experts, UCT's Prof Anton Eberhard, tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge. He says President Cyril Ramaphosa has felt himself compelled to appoint a new minister for electricity in the side the Presidency, says Eberhard, "because his energy minister has failed him and his public enterprises minister has failed him. Eberhard says that as Eskom's capacity to generate power fades there is a growing consensus about the case for natural gas as a fuel for generating power, not merely as a replacement for diesel in peaking plant. This might cheer energy Minister Gwede Mantashe but Eberhard dismisses his role in rescuing the economy. Mantashe's own plan for sorting out load shedding, he says is “reduced and simplistic” and he is astonished that while TotalEnergies has found significant gas deposits offshore near Mossel Bay, the French conglomerate's efforts to make contact with Mantashe have yielded no response.

Cyclists to pedal from Mossel Bay to Cape Town against cancer by Radio Islam

My guest today is Hermann Vivier, initiator of Bitcoin Ekasi and co-founder of The Surfer Kids, a non-profit social enterprise working for a better world. The two projects are located around the JCC township and Diaz Beach in Mossel Bay, South Africa. In an environment of poverty, violence and hopelessness the educational efforts of Hermann and his team of coaches and volunteers teach the children fundamental life skills through surfing.

We heard last episode how Portuguese explorer Bartolemeu Dias had rounded the Cape and landed at Mossel Bay in November 1488. He was the first person to sail around the continent to the South and his journey revolutionized commerce in Europe – and southern Africa. Dias dropped anchor in Mossell bay and as his men filled their water barrels, they were approached by Khoe herders who were nearby. There appears to have been some sort of confrontation, stones were thrown, and when the Portuguese fired back with a cross bow, one of the Khoe herders had been killed. This was an ominous sign for future relationships. The first contact between Europeans and traditional Khoe herders ended in violence. It is not clear exactly what set this off but neither group could speak the other's language which didn't help. Dias sailed onwards to Algoa Bay, then satisfied he'd rounded the tip of Africa, sailed home again passing Cape point and the future location of Cape Town on the way back. As he journed home and just beyond the southern tip of Africa, Dias' ships were hit by gale force winds and a major storm – so naturally he gave the Cape the name “Cabo de Todos los Tormentos” or Cape of Storms. When he returned to Portugal King Joåo was delighted to hear about the route, but not exactly pleased with the name - but he had a good eye for public relations and ordered it changed to “Cabo de Båo Esperanza” or Cape of Good Hope – a name which remains in use to this day. I ended last episode by explaining how name changes are a natural human compulsion and King Joao was no different.
