Podcasts about Pretoria

Thank you, Petra, for the episode suggestion. In 1990, a teenage girl escaped from a house in Pretoria, South Africa, narrowly avoiding an unimaginable fate. Her story revealed that she was not the first of several young girls taken under suspicious circumstances. Evidence suggested the girls were being held and moved, possibly for a wider trafficking network that spanned beyond the city. Despite investigations, no remains were ever recovered, and the true scope of what happened remains unknown. Almost 40 years later, the disappearances remain unsolved, leaving a shadow over the city and haunting questions about the children who were never found. Join Jen & Cam as they discuss The Missing Six & The Monster of Melherbe Street.

Depuis plusieurs mois, Donald Trump cible directement l'Afrique du Sud. Dans ses discours, le président américain accuse Pretoria de ne pas protéger les fermiers afrikaners blancs, qu'il prétend victimes d'un « génocide ». (Rediffusion du 10 décembre 2025) De notre envoyé spécial de retour de Johannesburg Les démentis sud-africains n'y changent rien. Washington sanctionne : boycott du G20 organisé à Johannesburg, exclusion de l'Afrique du Sud du prochain sommet États-Unis/Afrique et, surtout, décisions économiques lourdes, notamment des droits de douane de 30% sur les exportations sud-africaines. Pour East London, ville du Cap-Oriental dont l'économie dépend largement de l'usine Mercedes-Benz, la punition américaine est un séisme. Sur le port d'East London, la scène est pourtant immuable : rangées de berlines alignées sous les projecteurs, grues immobiles dans l'air salin, ouvriers qui s'affairent en attendant les navires. Dirk Botes, responsable clientèle, détaille l'organisation du terminal automobile : « Cette zone peut préstocker environ 1 400 voitures. Dans le hangar là-bas, un peu moins de 4 000, et sur l'esplanade ouverte environ 1 500. » Ce soir, un navire doit pourtant accoster avec plusieurs heures de retard, perturbé par le mauvais temps. « Il va charger ces véhicules, décharger ceux qui arrivent d'Europe, puis on recommencera avec le bateau suivant », explique-t-il. Ce ballet, autrefois parfaitement réglé, s'est ralenti au fil des mois. Le port exporte de moins en moins de voitures, essentiellement des Mercedes Classe C dont les ventes déclinent depuis plusieurs années. Sphiwe Mthembu, le directeur du port, ne masque pas son inquiétude : « La situation nous touche directement. Quand un constructeur présent depuis soixante-cinq ans commence soudain à souffrir d'une baisse de volumes, cela nous affecte immédiatement. Nous recevons des conteneurs destinés à l'usine : si l'usine tourne moins bien, le port en subit l'impact. Nous devons absolument garder Mercedes-Benz ici et attirer un deuxième grand constructeur. C'est vital pour l'économie locale. » En ville, la chambre de commerce suit de près la situation. Sa directrice, Lizelle Maurice, femme d'affaires respectée et ardente défenseure de l'économie locale, résume l'impact en quelques mots : « Le marché américain était notre plus gros marché, environ 30% de toutes les commandes. Quand les volumes ont commencé à baisser, les fournisseurs de Mercedes-Benz ont immédiatement réduit leurs effectifs. Et cela, c'était avant même les tarifs de Trump. La pandémie avait déjà mis notre économie à genoux. L'an dernier, l'usine est passée de trois à deux équipes, puis 700 départs volontaires ont été annoncés. Les décisions de Washington n'ont fait qu'aggraver une situation déjà très tendue. » Pour comprendre la centralité de Mercedes-Benz dans la région, Ted Keenan, journaliste du Daily Dispatch, déroule une liste : Auria Africa, Valeo International, AIH, et bien d'autres. Tous ont licencié ces derniers mois. «Certaines estimations parlent de 160 000 personnes potentiellement touchées dans la région si Mercedes s'en allait », glisse-t-il, avant de nuancer : « Je ne crois pas que ce soit réaliste. Ce serait la pire chose qui puisse arriver. Mais, il y a des rumeurs persistantes venues de Chine : Mercedes-Benz serait prêt à partager son usine. Aujourd'hui, beaucoup de constructeurs partagent leurs installations. Ce n'est pas impensable. » Pour les employés, c'est jour de fête. Plusieurs centaines d'entre eux sont rassemblés sur un terrain de rugby pour la traditionnelle célébration de fin d'année. Brochettes, musique, danses. Thabile Bevu, délégué du syndicat Numsa, explique pourtant que cette année a été rude : « La production s'est arrêtée plus tôt que d'habitude, quatre semaines en avance. C'est une combinaison de facteurs. Les taxes américaines ont forcé l'usine à réduire. En juillet, on a aussi été en chômage technique pendant six semaines. Beaucoup d'employés embauchés l'an dernier ont déjà perdu leur travail. Alors, tout le monde se demande : est-ce que je serai le prochain ? Mais Mercedes a toujours réussi à faire face, en travaillant avec nous. » Le lendemain, l'un des ouvriers, Phiwe Qaba, arborant un maillot bleu clair des Orlando Pirates, confirme que la crainte est constante : « On parle toujours du même sujet. Parce que dès que les États-Unis arrêtent de commander, notre vie quotidienne change. » Si lui bénéficie d'accords garantissant un revenu minimum même en cas de chômage technique, il pense aux autres, à ceux qui gravitent autour de l'usine : « La dame qui vend des fruits à l'entrée, le gars qui fait le ménage, celle qui prépare la nourriture… eux rentrent chez eux sans un sou. C'est une catastrophe. » À quelques kilomètres du centre-ville, dans le township historique de Duncan Village, on ressent déjà les secousses de la crise. Khulile Jacobs, éducateur et figure locale, fait visiter le lycée du quartier et raconte l'effet sur les familles : « Beaucoup avaient pris des prêts logement ou auto. Avec les licenciements, tout risque de s'effondrer. Des familles qui avaient quitté le township pour des quartiers plus aisés reviennent déjà. Le mouvement a commencé juste après l'élection américaine de novembre. Les entreprises savaient ce qui allait arriver. » Pour Khulile Jacobs, les raisons des décisions de Donald Trump dépassent largement les questions agricoles ou sécuritaires : « C'est une nouvelle forme de guerre froide. L'Afrique du Sud est un hub d'investissements sur le continent. On a l'impression que Trump essaie de détourner ces investissements vers les États-Unis. » Il ajoute un facteur géopolitique majeur : « Le fait que notre pays ait amené Israël devant la Cour internationale de justice a pesé lourd. Pour Trump, c'est comme si l'Afrique du Sud s'était opposée à un allié stratégique. » Et lorsqu'on lui demande s'il soutient son gouvernement dans cette démarche, la réponse est sans ambiguïté : « À 100 %, même plus. Nous nous tiendrons toujours aux côtés du peuple palestinien. Moralement, nous ne pouvons pas faire autrement. » Malgré tout, certains veulent croire à un possible apaisement. Lizelle Maurice, la directrice de la chambre de commerce, appelle à ne pas couper le dialogue : « Trump doit comprendre que ses décisions touchent des millions de personnes. Il doit revoir sa stratégie vis-à-vis de l'Afrique du Sud. Comme je le dis toujours : garde tes amis près de toi, mais tes ennemis encore plus près. »

Guest: Elizabeth Kennedy TrudeauBradford M. Freeman Managing Director for Global Policy at the George W. Bush Presidential Centre South Africa has formally accepted the credentials of Leo Brent Bozell III as the 28th U.S. ambassador to Pretoria, even as Washington has yet to receive new South African diplomatic appointments following the expulsion of Ibrahim Rasool. Lester Kiewit spoke to former U.S. embassy spokesperson to South Africa, Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau, now with the George W. Bush Institute, who described the moment not as a rupture, but as part of the natural ebb and flow of diplomacy between two strategic partners. She stressed the depth of people to people ties, shared democratic values, trade links under AGOA, and cultural connections, arguing the relationship can weather current tensions.

Die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria het vandag gelas die instel van die Wet op Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering moet onmiddelik opgeskort word. Solidariteit het die aansoek ingedien. Woordvoerder Theuns du Buisson, verwelkom die stap en sê die voorlopige opskorting sal van krag bly tot die Konstitusionele Hof uitspraak lewer oor die wet se ondertekening in 2024:

A groundbreaking study led by the University of Pretoria has opened a new radio astronomy frontier, discovering the most distant hydroxyl megamaser ever detected. This feat was achieved through the use of the MeerKAT radio telescope in the Karoo, which picked up a weak radio signal from a natural “space laser” located in a violently merging galaxy more than 8 billion light-years away. Lester Kiewit speaks to Dr Thato Manamela, lead author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pretoria.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 22nd of February, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in that very well-known Psalm 46:10. It says: “Be still, and know that I am God;…” Then we go to the Book of Acts 16:25-26: “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.”I remember many, many years ago, being invited to the maximum-security prison in Pretoria, and we had a wonderful meeting with those men. Those men sang their hearts out for the Lord, and as I was leaving the prison, walking through those dark corridors, one of the men who invited me said, ”You see down that passage?” I said, “Yes”. He said, “That is where the convicted criminals in the old days used to walk to the gallows where they were hung for their crimes.” And he said to me, “And Angus, they were singing hymns, every single one of them, so we trust that they repented.”What about you today? Where are you today? Are you sick in your body today? Are you so stressed out because you don't have a job? Is your business collapsing? Is it drought? Is it the Foot and Mouth disease? What is it that is pulling you down? I have just come from a men's prayer meeting where we have been singing and it lifted that chapel's roof. I want to sing with you today, but I want you to sing with me please. I am going to sing as best I can and you do the same, and let those shackles fall off you today. We are going to sing that beautiful hymn, “Be still and know that I am God.” It goes like this: Be still and know that I am God,be still and know that I am God,be still and know that I am God.I am the Lord that healeth thee.I am the Lord that healeth thee.I am the Lord that healeth thee.In Thee, O Lord, do I put my trust,in Thee, O Lord, do I put my trust,in Thee, O Lord, do I put my trust.God bless you and goodbye.

Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia says the murder rate decreased by eight point seven percent between October and December last year compared to the previous year. He was speaking during the release of third quarter crime statistics in Pretoria.

Suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Andrew Chauke, should not be blamed for making decisions that may have tarnished or compromised the integrity of the National Prosecuting Authority. This is according to former North West Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Sello Maema. Maema is being cross-examined at the Nkabinde Enquiry in Pretoria. The enquiry is probing Chauke's fitness to hold office. He was accused by former NPA head, Advocate Shamila Batohi, of making wrongful prosecutorial decisions while coordinating a team of prosecutors in the 2012 racketeering case against former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head, Major General Johan Booysen, and members of the Cato Manor Police Unit. Evidence leader, Advocate David Mtsweni, has suggested that any wrongful prosecutorial decisions carried out by Chauke and his team should instead be attributed to former Acting Director of Public Prosecutions, Nomgcobo Jiba.

U.S. President Donald Trump's pick for ambassador to South Africa, Leo Brent Bozell III, has arrived in the country. He is expected to improve fraught ties between the two states. Bozell III is expected to present his credentials to President Cyril Ramaphosa before officially taking up his post.

Drie in die hof oor die moord op 'n e-taxi-bestuurder in Atteridgeville, Pretoria. Boere in die Oos-Kaap sal entstowwe teen bek-en-klouseer op die swartmark koop indien die regering sy voete sleep met die inentingsverldtog. Ernstige oortredings van die Arbeidswet word in Newcastle in tekstielfabrieke aangeteken.

In today's Editor's Desk, Alec Hogg pulls back the curtain on the State of the Nation address, exploring why Pretoria may finally be waking up to the neglected potential of the mining sector. We dive into the "golden straitjacket" of international capital markets that is forcing a shift in South Africa's ideological approach to Eskom and privatization. Plus, a look at the staggering data from the Jeffrey Epstein email troves—revealing deep connections to global financial elites—and a defense of Paul O'Sullivan's recent interrogation by a parliamentary committee.

“Waarom doen jy dit?” vra 'n besoeker. Sy was 'n welaf vrou, onthou ek, uit die Ooste van Pretoria. En 'n mens kan haar vraag verstaan. Dit was waarskynlik moeilik om te glo dat iemand doelbewus sal kies om die tipe lewe te leef . . . Kyk uit vir artikel en fotos in Kerkbode   Borg 'n bed in een van ons Echo-huise

Some residents took matters into their own hands to clean up a neglected street corner. Breakfast with Martin Bester praised the community members for this initiative, saying that sometimes the reality is that South African residents have to take matters into their own hands.

A People's Church brings together a distinguished international group of historians to provide a sweeping introduction to Christian religious life and institutions in medieval Italy. Each essay treats a single theme as broadly as possible, highlighting both the unique aspects of medieval Christianity on the Italian peninsula and the beliefs and practices it shared with other Christian societies. Because of its long tradition of communal self-governance, Christianity in medieval Italy, perhaps more than anywhere else, was truly a "people's church." At the same time, its exceptional urban wealth and literacy rates, along with its rich and varied intellectual and artistic culture, led to diverse forms of religious devotion and institutions.

In this episode of A Table in the Corner, Russel sits down with Drikus Brink, chef/proprietor of Toevlug, to trace a quietly serious cooking life shaped by farms, butcheries and long service beside Bertus Basson. Brink talks through his early years growing up around meat and trade, cooking boerewors rolls as a teenager, studying in Pretoria and arriving at Overture, to spend nearly a decade in Basson's kitchens.The conversation moves through volume cooking, technique, pressure and instinct, from one man hot sections to breakfast services that teach humility fast. Brink reflects on what he absorbed from Basson's way of working: discipline over decoration, technique over theatre, and the confidence to change a dish mid service if it makes sense. We talk about building restaurants as businesses, growing sideways through bakeries, farm shops and events, and why Toevlug was designed as a place people can return to often rather than conquer once.This is a grounded discussion about fundamentals, mentorship and staying in your lane, told by a chef who understands that good food, properly cooked, is still the point.For more on the Bertus Basson group of restaurants, click hereEvery booking is a first impression.

L'Afrique du Sud se retire temporairement du G20, annonce faite la semaine dernière lors du Forum éco mondial de Davos. Le gouvernement dit vouloir éviter une crise diplomatique avec les Américains. Les relations entre Pretoria et Washington sont en effet au plus bas.

On February 14, 2013 — Valentine's Day — the world was stunned by the news that South African Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius had shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, inside his home in Pretoria. What followed was one of the most closely watched criminal trials of the 21st century — a case that forced the public to grapple with uncomfortable questions about celebrity, justice, gender-based violence, and how much of a public figure's private life we ever truly see.Support us on PatreonToday's snack: South African picnic bread

Il y a un an, Donald Trump était élu président des États-Unis. Le nouveau locataire de la Maison Blanche est depuis omniprésent à l'international. En Afrique, le Nigeria et l'Afrique du Sud ont été directement concernés par un interventionnisme décomplexé… La fin de l'Agence des États-Unis pour le développement international (Usaid), quant à elle, a de lourdes conséquences humaines sur le continent. Les manifestants brandissent un immense drapeau du Venezuela dans les rues de Pretoria, capitale de l'Afrique du Sud. Celui des États-Unis, flotte en arrière-plan au-dessus d'une ambassade américaine surprotégée. Les slogans des manifestants sud-africains sont clairs : « Hands Off Venezuela », ‘Ne touchez pas au Venezuela.' » « Il s'agit d'une manifestation d'urgence, explique Mohammed Desai, de l'Association Afrique du Sud-Amérique latine, organisée par diverses organisations de la société civile sud-africaine, des partis politiques ainsi que des syndicats. Aujourd'hui, c'est le Venezuela qui est attaqué, demain, nous craignons que ce soit l'Afrique du Sud ! » Lors de la manifestation, le secrétaire général du Parti communiste sud-africain Solly Mapaila regrette le manque de réactions internationales. « À l'heure actuelle, tonne-t-il, les États-Unis font ce qui leur plait ! Il est regrettable qu'ils soient autorisés à le faire et que certains pays dans le monde n'aient pas réagi de manière appropriée... Nous refusons de vivre dans un monde monolithique dans lequel les États-Unis nous imposent une forme extrême de capitalisme de droite et de conservatisme, sans quoi ils ne nous considèrent ! » Nations unies, salle du Conseil de sécurité. Trois notes, les diplomates s'installent. La présidence somalienne prend le micro : la réunion 10085 du Conseil de sécurité est déclarée ouverte. Ce 5 janvier 2026, la désapprobation africaine face à l'intervention des États-Unis au Venezuela est cette fois-ci exprimée en termes diplomatiques, par la voix de l'ambassadeur Lewis Brown. Le représentant du Liberia aux Nations unies s'exprime devant le Conseil au nom du A3, le groupe des trois membres africains non-permanents du Conseil de sécurité : « De tels développements représentent des défis sérieux, non seulement par rapport à la stabilité interne du Venezuela, mais aussi parce qu'ils soulignent l'impératif de sauvegarder, plus largement, la paix et la sécurité de la région. Le A3 demeure ferme dans son engagement en faveur des principes fondamentaux du droit international, y compris le respect total de la souveraineté et de l'intégrité territoriale des États, tels qu'inscrits dans la charte des Nations unies, dans l'intérêt de la stabilité régionale et de la paix internationale. » Plusieurs gouvernements et organisations ont également marqué leur protestation par des communiqués : le Ghana, la Namibie, l'Union africaine ou l'Alliance des États du Sahel. Interventionnisme décomplexé  Le cas vénézuélien est devenu emblématique d'un interventionnisme décomplexé. Et l'Afrique est d'autant plus concernée par cette politique de puissance qu'elle en a elle-même été la cible. Dès février 2025, des frappes américaines sont déclenchées contre des cibles de l'organisation État islamique dans les montagnes du Golis, dans le nord de la Somalie. À la fin de l'année, c'est le Nigeria qui fait l'objet d'une intervention américaine, préparée et justifiée par un argumentaire sur mesure : l'existence d'un prétendu massacre de chrétiens dans le pays. Des frappes censées viser l'État islamique sont déclenchées le jour de Noël, le 25 décembre. En ce début d'année 2026, certains sur place s'interrogent encore sur les motivations réelles de l'intervention américaine… Comme le professeur Muktar Omar Bunza, qui enseigne l'histoire sociale à l'Université du Nord-Ouest à Sokoto, au Nigeria. « Avec ce qu'il s'est passé au Venezuela, explique-t-il, les gens ont l'impression que les Américains peuvent prendre n'importe quel prétexte, comme par exemple cette histoire de persécutions religieuses, que n'importe quoi peut servir de justification pour que les Américains s'emparent des ressources d'un endroit. Donc, les gens ont peur, ils craignent que ce soit juste une étape, ils perdent confiance dans l'idée d'une démocratie américaine qui respecterait les droits humains, ou qui les défendrait ». Le Grand invité AfriqueOusmane Ndiaye: «L'Afrique subit déjà la brutalité de Trump» L'inquiétude est d'autant plus forte que la parole développée autour de cette politique de puissance s'émancipe largement des faits, de la réalité du terrain. L'exemple nigérian n'est pas unique. L'Afrique du Sud a elle aussi dû endurer les déformations trumpiennes de la vérité. Depuis son retour au pouvoir, Donald Trump s'est érigé en défenseur des fermiers blancs qu'il considère victimes d'un « génocide » en Afrique du Sud. Cette affirmation ne s'appuie pourtant sur aucun fait. « Il nous ramène dans notre passé ! » Se rendre dans une ferme au nord de Pretoria aide à s'en rendre compte. Ici on élève des poulets et l'on produit des choux ou des poivrons. Le Dr. Ethel Zulu est nutritionniste de formation. Il y a une dizaine d'années, elle a choisi de devenir agricultrice, elle est aujourd'hui à la tête d'une propriété d'une vingtaine d'hectares. Le crime en milieu rural, raconte-t-elle, touche aussi (et surtout) la communauté noire. Elle en a elle-même été victime. « Avant, explique-t-elle, nous occupions notre maison entièrement, mais nous avons décidé d'y installer aussi certains de nos employés, pour ne pas être seules ma fille et moi. Comme ça on se sent un peu plus en sécurité. Vous savez, cette question de la sécurité dans les fermes est un problème qui touche toute la communauté agricole, ce n'est pas du tout un problème racial mais bien un problème national. » Sa réaction aux propos du président américain, à ses affirmations sur une communauté blanche prise pour cible et l'existence d'un « génocide » ? « Cet homme est raciste, c'est tout ! Parce que les incidents que subissent les agriculteurs noirs dans leurs exploitations, comme moi, personne n'en a parlé. Nous venons par exemple de perdre un cadre de notre coopérative - AFASA. Le 26 décembre 2025, ils sont entrés armés chez lui, lui ont dérobé tout son argent, puis l'ont tué ! Et on nous dit que les agriculteurs blancs sont plus vulnérables que les agriculteurs noirs ? Ce sont des mensonges, des absurdités, nous sommes tous des cibles ! D'une certaine manière, ces propos divisent le pays en raison de notre histoire. Nous essayons d'aller de l'avant, et lui, il nous ramène dans notre passé ! » Ethel Zulu sort son téléphone et ouvre WhatsApp. Apparaissent alors de nombreux groupes communautaires, symbole de l'entraide entre voisins. « Tous les membres sont des agriculteurs du coin… Là, c'est notre équipe d'urgence… » Dans ces groupes, les noms Afrikaners, de la minorité blanche, se mêlent aux noms africains. Illustration d'une communauté d'agriculteurs soudée, victime de la même criminalité, parce qu'isolée en milieu rural, loin des postes de police.  « Not in our name » De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, malgré le rappel des faits et de la réalité de terrain, Donald Trump persiste. Le documentaliste Louis Gaigher et plusieurs dizaines d'Afrikaners ont co-signé une lettre ouverte dans la presse sud-africaine, « Not in our name », 'Pas en notre nom'. Une réponse aux propos américains. « Je pense que ce qu'il fait ici, ou plutôt le genre de rhétorique qu'il utilise, relève complètement de la suprématie blanche. Je trouve cela extrêmement opportuniste. Je ne peux parler qu'en mon nom, je refuse qu'on me présente comme un réfugié ou quelqu'un qui souffre à cause du gouvernement postapartheid et de la démocratie. »  En Afrique du Sud, 35 ans après la fin de l'Apartheid, la minorité blanche est encore très puissante économiquement et politiquement. Elle détient une grande majorité des terres du pays. Si la Nation arc-en-ciel est confrontée à bien des défis, Louis Gaigher et les autres signataires de cette tribune, refusent d'être « des pions dans les guerres culturelles américaines ». « L'administration américaine attaque notre politique de redistribution des terres. Mais ici nous avons l'État de droit qui doit toujours être protégé. Et c'est complètement ridicule que les Américains se plaignent de notre loi sur l'expropriation sans compensation ​alors qu'ils font précisément la même chose, et de manière très violente, avec le Venezuela, ou encore avec leurs projets pour le Groenland ! » Les cas nigérian et sud-africain viennent en tout cas confirmer que la manipulation décomplexée de la réalité est l'un des piliers de la gouvernance trumpienne. « Ce que Donald Trump a fait, c'est qu'il a reconfiguré ce que nous considérions comme ‘la vérité', analyse Trust Matsilele, maître de conférences à l'Université de Birmingham. La vérité ou les faits sont maintenant des concepts fragiles. À partir du moment où ils ne servent plus ses intérêts, ils peuvent être contestés ou rejetés. C'est ce qu'on pourrait appeler une ‘politisation de la vérité'. Certaines des choses qui avaient été vues comme des vérités établies sont remises en cause : le changement climatique, les concepts de démocratie et d'État de droit. Tout cela a été bousculé par la vision du monde de Donald Trump ». Le chercheur s'arrête sur les risques que fait courir un tel comportement : « La vérité doit être la vérité, quelle que soit votre position. À partir du moment où vous commencez à politiser tout cela, on bascule de la vérité objective à la propagande, la mésinformation, la désinformation et les fake news… » Des opinions publiques africaines partagées À Kinshasa, dans le quartier commerçant de la Gombe, la circulation est encore timide et les embouteillages n'ont pas encore fait leur apparition, ce matin-là. Les Kinois sont déjà sur le chemin du travail. Certains, comme Jacquemain, disent la crainte que leur inspire désormais Trump, en dépit de son engagement en faveur du processus de paix en République démocratique du Congo. « Auparavant, quand il était arrivé au pouvoir, on pensait qu'il allait faire de bonnes choses, surtout pour notre pays la RDC. On pensait que c'était dans notre intérêt, la population congolaise. Mais maintenant, quand on constate la politique qu'il est en train d'amener dans le monde, on se demande : est-ce que ce n'est pas par intérêt pour nos minerais ? On a ensuite vu ce qu'il s'est passé au Venezuela, et puis ça n'est pas encore fini, on attend encore maintenant bientôt le Groenland et tout ça. On se demande : qu'est-ce qu'il se passe dans la tête de ce président-là ? » Patrick, lui aussi, déplore les coups portés à l'ordre international. « Quand il est venu, regrette-t-il, il a montré l'image de quelqu'un qui voulait la paix. Maintenant, on est en train de remarquer qu'il crée des problèmes. Apparemment, il ne respecte pas les lois internationales. Il y a eu la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Après, les gens se sont réunis pour établir des lois qu'ils devraient respecter. Apparemment, ces lois, lui, ne lui disent rien. Il fait ce qu'il veut. Alors, ça fait craindre. » Cela provoque des débats également à Abidjan, en Côte d'Ivoire, comme entre ces étudiants en anglais rassemblés dans une salle d'université. Beaucoup admirent le président américain. « Il faut dire que c'est un gars bien, estime Daniel, il exerce un pouvoir très exécutif. Ses partisans valorisent son leadership et aussi sa manière de prendre des décisions… Quand il veut faire, il fait ». « Le monsieur il est simple, avance de son côté Emmanuella. Il te dit “fais ça”, tu ne fais pas ça, il te voit directement comme un ennemi… Pour diriger, il faut avoir de la poigne, on ne peut pas diriger avec les sentiments ». L'interventionnisme américain au Venezuela ou au Nigeria n'émeut pas Ange, qui n'a pas 20 ans. Il voit Trump comme un modèle à suivre et approuve sa posture envers les États africains : « C'est un monsieur qui agit par intérêt et ses relations avec l'Afrique sont plutôt par intérêt. ‘Je vous apporte quelque chose si vous m'apportez quelque chose. Si vous ne m'apportez rien, je ne vous apporte rien !' Je pense que Donald Trump a eu cette intelligence-là et il fait bien. Un pays n'a pas d'amis, il n'a que des intérêts. Et je pense que Donald Trump applique cela et ça me fait plaisir de voir cela ». Ange rêve d'étudier aux États-Unis. Son espoir paraît compromis depuis le 1er janvier et la suspension de la délivrance de visas accordés aux ressortissants ivoiriens, une mesure jugée discriminatoire par beaucoup. « Une nouvelle approche mercantiliste » La diplomatie trumpienne navigue-t-elle à vue, comme l'assurent certains observateurs, ou a-t-elle une cohérence et une logique profonde ? Pour le professeur Adekeye Adebajo de l'Université de Pretoria, la politique internationale de Donald Trump s'inscrit dans le temps long de l'interventionnisme américain. « Je pense, explique cet universitaire, que ce que fait Trump s'inscrit dans la continuité de ce que les États‑Unis ont fait par le passé, car je ne crois pas qu'il soit forcément exact de le présenter comme une aberration totale. Il y a trente‑cinq ans, George Bush Père a envoyé des troupes américaines au Panama et ils y ont arrêté le dictateur Manuel Noriega, l'ont littéralement enlevé et emmené aux États‑Unis pour y être jugé et emprisonné… Donc, si nous connaissons notre histoire, nous savons que de nombreuses administrations américaines ont fait exactement ce que Trump a fait, ou des choses similaires ».  Le chercheur voit également dans le regard trumpien sur le monde une doctrine qui associe une nouvelle fois la puissance, le commerce et l'accès aux ressources minières. « Je pense que, fondamentalement, il y a un principe : il s'agit d'une nouvelle approche mercantiliste qui consiste essentiellement à freiner la mainmise de la Chine sur les minerais rares et à s'assurer que les États‑Unis aient effectivement accès à ces ressources. On a vu que ses efforts de “paix” dans la région des Grands Lacs, en RDC, au Rwanda, en Ukraine et ailleurs, ont aussi comporté des accords miniers. L'intervention et l'enlèvement du président vénézuélien portent évidemment aussi sur le pétrole, et je pense donc qu'une grande partie de tout cela tourne autour de la Chine, de l'équilibrage de la puissance chinoise et des garanties qu'elle ne puisse pas rivaliser avec les États‑Unis ». Adekeye Adebajo insiste sur un troisième aspect : la diplomatie trumpienne est marquée par sa volonté de défaire le multilatéralisme. C'est ainsi que les États-Unis sont récemment sortis de 66 organisations internationales. Et c'est ainsi qu'ils ont fermé l'Usaid, l'Agence américaine pour le développement international. Usaid : les lourdes conséquences d'une fermeture Le Soudan du Sud est l'un des pays qui en sort le plus affecté. L'assistance américaine a été divisée par plus de quatorze entre 2024 et 2025. Il n'aura fallu que quelques semaines après l'annonce de la fin d'Usaid pour en mesurer les conséquences dans la localité de Gurei, à l'ouest de la capitale du Soudan du Sud, Juba. Le centre de nutrition de Gurei prend en charge des enfants en malnutrition sévère. D'habitude très fréquenté, il est quasiment vide en ce mois de mars 2025. Les aliments thérapeutiques utilisés pour traiter la malnutrition infantile, les fameux sachets de pâte d'arachide enrichie fournis par l'Usaid, ne sont déjà plus disponibles depuis environ un mois. Quand Helen Furu vient faire examiner son fils Joseph, 1 an, elle doit faire ce constat douloureux : depuis la dernière visite, sa situation ne s'améliore pas, faute d'aliments thérapeutiques. « Mon mari est fonctionnaire et ça arrive souvent qu'il ne soit pas payé, confie Helen Furu. Quant à moi, quand j'étais enceinte de Joseph, je travaillais sur le marché et je me suis épuisée. Quand il est né, il était très faible et chétif. Quand il a été pris en charge ici, avec les traitements, son état s'est un peu amélioré. Chaque lundi, je viens ici pour le suivi mais ça fait un moment que les traitements à base de pâte d'arachide ne sont plus distribués, je ne sais pas trop quel est le problème. Cela m'inquiète car, quand il prend ce complément, il va mieux. J'ai envie de dire aux Américains de ne pas arrêter de soutenir les enfants du Soudan du Sud. Dans notre pays, très peu de gens vivent bien. La grande majorité souffre car il n'y a pas de travail ». Le directeur du centre de Gurei, Sarafino Doggal, porte une blouse blanche brodée du logo de l'Usaid, vestige de temps révolus. Debout dans son bureau face à un mur de tableaux statistiques, il appelle au soutien pour faire face aux besoins énormes de la population : « Hier, par exemple, nous avons reçu 325 patients venus de différents quartiers. Nous les recevons, mais le problème c'est que nous n'avons pas de médicaments. Il y a de nombreux enfants en situation de malnutrition. Vous voyez tous ces patients ? Ils viennent à la clinique le matin sans avoir pris de petit-déjeuner, pas même un thé. Ils vont passer toute leur journée ici, et puis rentrer chez eux où il n'y aura rien à manger. Les chefs communautaires m'ont dit que la situation empire, surtout en ce qui concerne la malnutrition infantile, à cause de l'arrêt des aliments thérapeutiques. Les enfants et leurs mères souffrent énormément. » Plusieurs mois ont passé et les conséquences de la fin de l'Usaid continuent à se faire sentir sur le continent, ailleurs. Comme à Addis-Abeba, la capitale éthiopienne. Aster pousse le lourd portail gris et entre dans la petite cour ombragée qui jouxte une école. Du linge encore mouillé pend sur deux longues cordes attachées à une maison blanche. Cet après-midi, une dizaine de jeunes travailleuses du sexe ont trouvé refuge, comme elle, dans ce centre d'accueil et de prévention du Sida de l'ONG éthiopienne Ishdo : « Je viens ici pour prendre une douche, me soigner, et on ne me demande pas de payer en échange. Je suis ici tous les jours depuis cinq mois, et cet endroit est très important pour moi. Je me sens heureuse et en sécurité ici. » Depuis son ouverture en décembre 2024, ce centre d'accueil est ouvert 7 jours sur 7. Hiwot Mekonnen est l'infirmière en cheffe de la structure : « Nos patientes passent le test de dépistage du VIH. Nous leur proposons également des services de planification familiale, un dépistage des problèmes de santé mentale, des violences sexistes et un test du cancer du col de l'utérus. » Plusieurs fois par semaine, l'équipe médicale organise aussi des séances de prévention, dans une petite salle aux murs tapissés d'informations sur la contraception féminine. Des préservatifs sont également à leur disposition. L'arrêt des financements de l'Usaid, bailleur principal d'Onusida qui finance la structure, a frappé de plein fouet les activités du centre. « Ces deux derniers mois, nous n'avons pu organiser ni les séances de prévention, ni les tests, explique Hiwot Mekonnen. Et si les femmes continuent leur activité sans préservatifs, cela augmentera la transmission du VIH. La situation est instable, et j'ai beaucoup de doutes ». Ces dernières années pourtant, les efforts d'Onusida avaient porté leurs fruits : 94% des personnes diagnostiquées séropositives recevaient ici un traitement antirétroviral, dit ARV. Désormais, l'agence de l'ONU doit compter sur le mémorandum signé en décembre dernier entre les gouvernements éthiopien et américain, d'un montant d'1 milliard et demi de dollars. Objectif affiché : « Renforcer les systèmes de santé publique et la prévention des maladies… »

On February 14, 2013 — Valentine's Day — the world was stunned by the news that South African Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius had shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, inside his home in Pretoria. What followed was one of the most closely watched criminal trials of the 21st century — a case that forced the public to grapple with uncomfortable questions about celebrity, justice, gender-based violence, and how much of a public figure's private life we ever truly see.Listen to part 3 on Patreon todayToday's snack: Malva pudding

L'Afrique du Sud accueille à partir de ce vendredi, des navires militaires chinois, iraniens et russes pour des exercices navals du BRICS+. Cet évènement survient alors que les tensions géopolitiques sont élevées suite aux attaques militaires Américaines sur Caracas. La décision de Pretoria d'accueillir les navires russes et iraniens, deux pays sous sanctions de Washington, a été critiquée parmi les membres du gouvernement qui craignent une recrudescence de tensions avec les Etats-Unis.

In this deeply personal and wide-ranging episode of the AART Podcast, host Chris Stafford sits down with acclaimed South African production designer Sabrina Linder for an intimate biographical conversation about life, creativity, and the winding path that leads to a career in film. Rather than focusing on technical process, this episode explores the human story behind the work. Sabrina Linder reflects on growing up in South Africa, the formative experiences that shaped her artistic sensibility, and how curiosity, resilience, and observation guided her toward a life in visual storytelling. From early influences and cultural identity to the emotional intelligence required to collaborate at the highest levels of film and television, Sabrina shares the moments that quietly — and sometimes unexpectedly — defined her career. Throughout the conversation, Sabrina opens up about navigating creative industries, finding confidence as an artist, and learning how to trust instinct over expectation. She discusses what it means to build worlds for the screen while simultaneously building a life, and how storytelling — whether through design or lived experience — remains at the center of her work. Chris guides the discussion with warmth and curiosity, allowing space for reflection on ambition, self-doubt, mentorship, and the invisible labor behind creative success. The result is a thoughtful portrait of an artist whose career is rooted not only in visual craft, but in empathy, memory, and lived experience. This episode will resonate with artists, filmmakers, designers, and anyone interested in the personal journeys behind creative careers, offering insight, honesty, and inspiration well beyond the screen.
