South Africa Calls the Black Traveler HomeA 12-Day Journey Through Pretoria and Soweto Reveals Why the Continent Is the Next Frontier for Diaspora TourismThere's a particular kind of travel that transcends sightseeing — the kind where history reaches out from every monument, every meal, every conversation with a stranger. That's exactly what Lyndon Taylor, founder of Lyndon Taylor Associates and a veteran Caribbean travel professional, found waiting for him on the African continent during a 12-day immersion in South Africa this past April. What began as a spontaneous decision sparked by a mentee's family wedding became, by his own account, one of the most significant journeys of his life.From Newark to Johannesburg: The Long Haul ReimaginedTaylor's journey began with a United Airlines non-stop flight from Newark to OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg — a route that clocks in at roughly 14-plus hours in the air. For travelers who've never tackled a transatlantic flight of this distance, the prospect can feel daunting. But Taylor, ever the seasoned road warrior, approaches it with a practiced strategy.For those planning a similar trip from New York or the Caribbean, the key takeaway is this: book early for the best fares, choose night departures when possible, and treat the flight like an intentional transition — not just dead time between worlds.Arriving at the Heart of History: Pretoria's Union Buildings and Freedom ParkTaylor landed in Johannesburg on April 22nd, and after a sobering introduction at the airport — where the statue of Oliver Reginald Tambo, co-founder of the African National Congress alongside Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu, watches over every arriving traveler — he took an Uber to Pretoria, the administrative capital where he would base himself for much of the trip.His first major stop was the Union Buildings, Pretoria's iconic seat of government perched at the city's highest point. The sprawling, arc-shaped colonial-era structure commands breathtaking panoramic views over the city, and it is here that the towering nine-foot statue of Nelson Mandela stands as a monument to South Africa's democratic transformation. For Taylor, standing there was a visceral experience.Freedom Park, another landmark Taylor visited, carries an even heavier emotional charge. The memorial lists the names of South Africans who died across multiple conflicts, from World War II through to the apartheid era. Taylor chose to walk it without a guided tour, preferring to absorb the weight of the space at his own pace. He walked through terraced sections tracing themes of earth, trade, and African history before ascending to the Wall of Names — a structure he describes as nearly stadium-like in scale. At the top, an eternal flame burns alongside a still pool of water."I sat, crossed my legs on the grass, and just took it all in... thinking about all those folks who sacrificed so that we can now enjoy the freedoms we do," he says. It was, in his words, "a sombering moment and a moment of reflection."Soweto: History, Soul, and the Sound of People Truly LivingIf Pretoria is South Africa's institutional heartbeat, Soweto is its soul. Taylor made the trip on April 25th, stopping first in Braamfontein — a vibrant Johannesburg neighborhood that doubles as a college town, home to the University of Johannesburg and several other institutions. It was there, over drinks with a group of young South Africans celebrating a birthday, that the spontaneous magic of travel revealed itself.In Soweto, the famous street that was once home to Nelson Mandela, and also to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, offered a deeply personal window into the struggle. The house where Mandela lived with his family is small — almost startlingly so — but filled, as Taylor observed, with evidence of immense love and resilience. A monument in the square also honors Hector Pieterson, one of the young victims of the 1976 Soweto Uprising, and reminds visitors of the cost of the freedom South Africa now celebrates.Later that evening, he returned to Braamfontein, where his new friends introduced him to Zouk, a club in the nearby neighborhood of Melville. He stayed until 5 a.m. — not because there was nothing else to do, but because the last train from Braamfontein back to Pretoria departed at 8:30 p.m. and the next one didn't run until 5:30 a.m. So he danced, celebrated, and immersed himself in the city's nightlife until the Gautrain — the high-speed rail linking Johannesburg to Pretoria — carried him back at dawn.What struck him most was how South Africans engage with music and each other in social spaces. Phones were put away. People danced. There was a joy and a presence to the room that Taylor contrasts, somewhat wistfully, with what he sees in many Caribbean and American venues today."The Africans, they love their music... they were showing and they were going out and enjoying themselves," he says. "We seem to have lost a lot of that."Freedom Day and the March & March Protest: Democracy, Alive and ImperfectApril 27th marked South Africa's Freedom Day — the 32nd anniversary of the country's first democratic, non-racial elections in 1994. Taylor was on the ground to witness the official ceremonies, including a 21-gun salute and presidential participation, alongside broader public celebration.But the trip also offered a more complicated view of South African democracy the following day, when he encountered the March & March movement protesting outside his hotel in Pretoria. Led by a founder named Jacinta, the march addressed concerns about unemployment, immigration, government corruption, and the alleged sale of identity documents and passports. The group was marching toward the Union Buildings to present their grievances directly to the president.Taylor interviewed Jacinta on the spot. The protest was peaceful, orderly, and pointed — a reminder that South Africa's democracy, now three decades old, is still a living, contested work in progress. "I just wanted to show that democracy is alive and well," Taylor reflects. "People were protesting and they could protest freely, without being harmed."Why Caribbean Travelers Should Look to AfricaTaylor is clear-eyed about the barriers. Long-haul international travel is expensive, and the cost of a flight to South Africa is a legitimate consideration. But his advice is straightforward: book the flight first, as far in advance as possible, and sort out accommodation later — Airbnb and guesthouses offer flexibility and value that can be planned around a tighter budget.More importantly, he speaks to something that can't be quantified: the feeling of connection. As a person of African descent visiting the continent for the first time, Taylor describes a pull toward what he calls "the motherland" that influenced how he engaged with every person he met.South Africa sits at a fascinating intersection of history, culture, natural beauty, and emerging modernity. From the vibrant student neighborhoods of Braamfontein to the solemn grandeur of Freedom Park; from the intimate rooms of Mandela's Soweto home to the sweeping views from the Union Buildings — the country offers a depth of experience that few destinations can match.For Caribbean travelers seeking to explore the wider world of their heritage and history, South Africa isn't just worth considering. It may be long overdue.The Final Verdict: Parallel PathsFlying back over the Atlantic, watching the African coastline fade into the clouds, I realized that this journey had fundamentally changed my perspective as a travel writer.South Africa and the Caribbean are bound by an invisible, powerful thread. We are regions shaped by the trauma of oppression, yet defined by our refusal to be broken by it. We express our healing through the same vessels: explosive musical rhythms, revolutionary art, and a profound reverence for our historical architects.For the traveler seeking more than just a passport stamp, South Africa offers a profound, soul-stirring journey. It challenges you, educates you, and ultimately embraces you with a familiarity that feels remarkably like coming home.Support the showTripCast360 --- It's all about travel, lifestyle and entertainment.Web: TripCast360.com.Twit: https://twitter.com/TripCast360FB: https://www.facebook.com/TripCast360Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tripcast360/

Thousands of miners were streaming into the Transvaal by the third quarter of the 19th Century, a horde of avuncular independent-minded treasure hunters. In volume Two of the Cambridge History of South Africa, Stanley Trapido calls them the ragbag of humanity - Stanley who sadly is no longer with us, had the right to call miners whatever he wanted — having worked in Krugersdorp gold mines in order to pay for his History Degree at Wits University. But I'm sure the so-called ragbags and their moms would have taken offence. It is true that anarchy of a legendary level prevailed in many of the diggings, as it had in Griqualand West, these mining pioneers however were far more complex than a mob. The Diamond Fields of Kimberley were in the hands of large corporations by the early 1880s, men like JB Robinson, Cecil John Rhodes, Barney Barnato dominated Kimberley as the hole descended towards Hades' — huge piles of capital was required to buy equipment to pump out the water, for the steam driven mine heads, to pay the labour. A degree of cooperation was needed which the disparate groups of international diggers lacked. New economic organisations flourished, consolidation was taking place, financial collaboration secured sales usually to diamond buyers in the City of London. That needed connections, engineering skills at the pit, managerial and administrative nouse. The early diggers, hardened bearded men who'd scratched at surface rock, these Americans, Australians, Canadians, Russians, French, Germans, Swiss, Austrians, Norwegians, Swedes, Italians, Scots, these men and some women were imbued with the streaks of obsession of the age. They no longer fitted the economy of Kimberley, the big name financiers were in charge. Most of these expats were fearful of black labour, some such as the Americans, brought a fierce view of slavery into the mining fields, they were the most vocal when it came to demands to restrict black people from owning mineland — and enforcing a curfew around Kimberley. Their sentiment rubbed off on those around them. These mine compounds for blacks were going to be replicated in Johannesburg. The days of the small-scale scrabbler however, were gone. So it was with glee that many heard tales of a trove of gold that had been discovered far to the north east, in the eastern Transvaal, in the early years of the 1870s. The very word Gold sent shivers of anticipation through the bags of rags and the adventurers who had the guts to tramp off, or ride off, into the sunrise. Tom Maclachlan has been almost forgotten but it was he who set off the gold rush in South Africa. I had a Scots Aunt, and the more I read about Tom Maclachlan, the more like Aunt Betty McLennnon he sounded particularly when it came to energy, focus and pure guts. Possessed of an almost maniacallly steadfast faith that gold lay in the eastern Transvaal hills, Maclachlan prodded the rocks there for years — spurred on by faith and the prospect of a Five hundred pound reward for finding gold. That was being offered by the Landdrost of Lydenburg, AF Jansen. Maclachlan and his two partners, George Parsons and Sydney Valentine toiled throughout 1872, prospecting the entire country north, east and south of Mauchsberg Mountain — named after geologist Karl MAuch who predicted gold lay in that them thar hill. Their sweat and toil payed off in the first weeks of 1873, they discovered what appeared to be payable gold in a stream on the north side of Spitskop Hill — six hours ride east of Lydenburg. A two and a half ounce sample of gold was sent to Jansen along with a request for the five hundred pounds reward. Jansen was excited and galloped off to Spitskop Hill along with four labourers, to test the alluvial gravel. After a few days, they sifted out four ounces of pure gold, Jansen was convinced of its value, and he wrote a letter to the Volksraad Executive Council in Pretoria to report his findings. The Transvaal Volksraad broke it's promise.

Ce sommet Afrique-France qui se tient à Nairobi « est une occasion de renforcer la coopération franco-africaine », titre le journal kenyan Daily Nation, qui rappelle que « c'est la première fois que ce sommet, créé en 1973, se tient dans un pays anglophone. » L'économie sera au cœur de cet événement, avec des objectifs de partenariats dans différents domaines, tels que les technologies numériques, le financement climatique ou encore le développement des infrastructures.  D'après le Daily Nation, c'est une aubaine pour Nairobi sur le plan international : « le Kenya explorera des pistes d'accord pour consolider ses relations commerciales avec la France, dans une démarche qui semble clairement viser à attirer davantage d'investissements directs étrangers », analyse le journal, qui se réjouit par ailleurs de « la confiance accordée à Nairobi sur la scène diplomatique internationale ». Du point de vue de Paris, « le sommet devrait aussi contribuer à dissiper l'idée selon laquelle l'ancienne puissance coloniale, accusée d'exploiter les nations africaines francophones, chercherait aujourd'hui à conquérir de nouveaux territoires à son seul profit », conclut le Daily Nation. À lire aussiAfrica Forward à Nairobi, un sommet coorganisé par Kenya et France à l'accent très économique L'opposition à ce sommet est bien présente The Standard, autre média kenyan, évoque des manifestations et notamment un contre-sommet parallèle, organisé à Nairobi par les organisations de la société civile, qui qualifient Africa Forward de « tentative de la France de réinstaurer une influence néocoloniale ». « Le sommet France-Afrique n'est ni un geste de bonne volonté, ni une plateforme de partenariat égalitaire. Il s'agit d'une offensive de recolonisation impérialiste rebaptisée », dénonce l'organisateur du contre-sommet, cité dans les lignes du journal.  Les nouvelles ambitions de Paris à Nairobi intriguent aussi le Djely, à Conakry, qui s'interroge : « L'Afrique anglophone suffira-t-elle au bonheur de la France ? » « Ces changements sont en partie dictés par les déboires que la France a connus ces dernières années en Afrique. Ce sont surtout les crises essuyées par Paris au Sahel ainsi que dans des pays comme le Sénégal ou le Tchad qui ont accéléré cette dynamique débouchant sur l'organisation d'Africa Forward », estime le média guinéen.  « Il est difficile de ne pas voir, dans cette nouvelle politique africaine de la France, une volonté de s'extirper de l'inextricable débat mémoriel hérité du passé colonial avec les pays francophones », poursuit le Djely. « La France pourra-t-elle réellement compenser la perte de son ancien pré carré ? Rien n'est moins sûr, selon le journal, car s'il est vrai que les relations entre Paris et des capitales comme Abuja ou Pretoria se sont renforcées ces dernières années, la France accuse néanmoins un retard considérable face à ses concurrents, notamment chinois et indiens. » « Dans quelques années, il sera possible d'évaluer cette évolution qui n'en est encore qu'à ses débuts, rappelle le Djely. Mais, pour l'heure, on y voit moins un changement qu'un déménagement. » Maurice Freund, le fou volant du Sahel, s'est éteint C'est le titre d'un article d'Afrik.com, qui rend hommage au fondateur de l'agence de voyage Point-Afrique, décédé le 9 mai dernier, à l'âge de 83 ans. « Surnommé le "fou volant" du Sahara, pionnier du voyage solidaire, il aura passé sa vie à désenclaver les marges sahéliennes, raconte le média, qui confie perdre aussi un soutien fidèle de ses premières années. » « Depuis les débuts du site, Maurice Freund nous avait soutenus. Il répondait présent lorsqu'il fallait comprendre le Sahel autrement que depuis Paris. Il parlait franchement, corrigeait, contredisait, obligeait à vérifier. Sa connaissance du terrain, parfois rugueuse, nous a aidés à mieux regarder cette région que tant de commentateurs découvrent seulement lorsqu'elle brûle », poursuit Afrik.com, racontant ensuite que l'homme « pouvait être abrupt, autoritaire, parfois impossible à suivre. Mais ceux qui l'ont accompagné ne l'ont jamais regretté. Il avait chez lui une fidélité obstinée aux hommes du désert, conclut le site, et les distinctions lui importaient moins que la reconnaissance des équipes locales. » À lire aussiMaurice Freund - Episode 2: «Momo l'Africain»

The hill of Doves — in isiZulu amaJuba means the place of many doves or pigeons. It became a place of violence and blood, and yet the catastrophic defeat of the British at Majuba was indeed to lead to peace. The doves would fly again albeit fleetingly. As you heard last episode, British commander General George Colley had been one of the casualties of the battle — Sir Evelyn Wood was now in charge of the empire's army in the Transvaal. Or to be more accurate, in Natal attempting to enter the Transvaal. Colley was buried at Mount Prospect — the British base below Laings Nek in sight of Majuba — letters of condolence were sent to his wife Lady Colley by the Town councils of Pietermaritzburg and Durban .. and also by the Transvaal Boer Leaders. Colley had asked that his body should be allowed to remain where he fell on the battlefield, and so it was. His wife would have to travel to the Transvaal border to see where he lay. A state of war existed, the Boers continued to besiege all British garrisons in the Transvaal in early 1881. More about that in a moment. The Summer rains were falling, drenching the landscape like the blood of Majuba, and both sides sought peace. Boer emissaries had met with the Swazi king, but he was loathe to join the attack on the empires forces. On the 2nd March 1881 Evelyn Wood relayed a letter to the Boer leadership, the triumpherate as they were known from his base at Newcastle. “to President Brand, Bloemfontein, P Joubert (he means Commandant Piet Joubert, Boer commander in the Transvaal) requests me to send you the following telegram…” The British commander as postman — relaying one Boer message to another. Brand's message back was reconciliatory in tone. “…We are willing to accept every offer made by your Honour …” and by your honour Joubert meant Wood … “that peace may be, as far as it is not in direct opposition to our liberty…” That was the minimum demand — the Boers demanded their liberty. ON the 5th, Wood and his staff met Piet Joubert and Boer leaders half way between Mount Prospect and Laing's Nek in a hastily erected tent. The British hardliners were horrified - how could Wood, an English General who had now built up a force of 10 000 soldiers in Natal concede to an interview with the leaders of the enemy for the sake of gaining time to negotiate peace? Some said it was too absurd to be credited, others in the English camp were astonished. But he was also a general who represented an army that had been beaten four times in an open fight — Bronkhorspruit, Laings Nek, Schoonspruit, Majuba. Why continue the war? It was time to resolve things. While the English nationalists bayed for Boer blood, were calling for this upstart Transvaal Republic to be crushed as a warning to other rebels across the empire, cooler heads prevailed. Joining Wood were Major Frazer, Captain Maude and Mr Cropper the translator. On the Boer side, Piet Joubert, DC Uys, CJ Joubert and CHJ Fouchees, with AJ Foster interpreting. A tight group. The fewer involved the better. Wood opened with meeting with an explanation — he was there to call for an armistice so that Kruger and the Volksraad could reply to General Colley's communication of the 21st February re: peace. The entire meeting was to last an astonishing 90 minutes. Joubert presented the Transvaal position most concisely, Complete amnesty for all leaders, freedom of the Transvaal from British government although they'd accept suzerainty, no interference in Transvaal's internal affairs — they meant on matters pertaining to race and land. It was the word suzerainty that was the problem child here. To the British government, particularly officials in London, suzerainty implied that the restored Boer republic in the Transvaal would enjoy internal self-government but would remain subordinate to the British Crown in matters such as foreign relations as well as overall imperial authority. The Boer negotiators understood the term far more loosely.

Suite aux violences xénophobes qui se sont multipliées en Afrique du Sud, le mois dernier, les réactions africaines se multiplient. Après le Ghana qui demande à ce que le débat soit inscrit à l'agenda de la prochaine réunion de l'Union Africaine, le Nigeria a décidé de rapatrier ses ressortissants.  Face à ses réactions, le gouvernement de Pretoria reste sur la défensive.

« Nous ne pouvons pas laisser nos citoyens humiliés dans votre pays », met en garde la ministre des Affaires étrangères nigériane. C'est le titre d'un article du média nigérian Vanguard, qui relate les déclarations de la représentante du gouvernement. Elle dit avoir eu une conversation téléphonique avec son homologue sud-africain sur ce sujet brûlant. « Elle a également condamné la 'rhétorique violente et aveugle' des groupes politiques xénophobes en Afrique du Sud, déclarant ensuite que les Nigérians ont fait preuve, et continuent de faire preuve, d'une retenue louable face à la crise actuelle », rapporte le média. Ces manifestations et tensions xénophobes en Afrique du Sud ont aussi fait l'objet d'un éditorial dans les colonnes de Vanguard. Son auteur estime que de nombreux Sud-Africains ont toujours été hostiles, et pointe la responsabilité de Pretoria : « le plus scandaleux, écrit-il, c'est que le gouvernement sud-africain agisse comme si de rien n'était. » Il évoque ensuite les réactions de différents pays africain face à cette situation, ce qu'il voit comme un message d'espoir : « des voix s'élèvent pour réclamer des sanctions. J'espère que les efforts diplomatiques permettront d'envoyer les signaux nécessaires aux instances compétentes. » En RDC, les réactions s'enchaînent après l'annonce de Félix Tshisekedi Le président s'est dit prêt pour un potentiel troisième mandat à la tête du pays si il y a une demande populaire, « et la société civile redoute une aggravation des tensions politiques », titre Radio Okapi, en évoquant ensuite l'appel de la nouvelle société civile congolaise, à l'ouverture d'un débat démocratique et apaisé suite aux annonces du chef de l'État. Félix Tshisekedi se dit prêt à « revenir » une troisième fois si les Congolais le lui demandent, via un référendum, mais pour Afrik.com, « La formule est connue, usée jusqu'à la corde sur le continent ».  « Le président congolais semble découvrir une passion très africaine : le goût au pouvoir prolongé », estime le site, avant d'ajouter que : « le plus inquiétant n'est d'ailleurs pas seulement l'évocation d'un troisième mandat. C'est la banalisation progressive de l'idée même de toucher à la Constitution. L'article 220, censé verrouiller la limitation des mandats présidentiels, constituait jusqu'ici l'un des rares garde-fous encore respectés, dans une région où les Constitutions sont devenues des brouillons réécrits au gré des ambitions personnelles », affirme Afrik.com « Aujourd'hui, le président Tshisekedi ouvre clairement la porte à sa remise en cause », conclut Afrik.com, avant de s'interroger : « au fond, la vraie question n'est pas de savoir si les Congolais peuvent demander à Félix Tshisekedi de revenir. La vraie question est de savoir si lui est encore capable d'imaginer quitter le pouvoir. » Le retour de trois supporters sénégalais à Dakar, après trois mois de détention au Maroc ne passe pas inaperçu dans la presse sénégalaise Un retour au pays avec « un accueil triomphal », célèbre PressAfrik. Les trois supporters sénégalais détenus au Maroc à la suite des incidents survenus lors de la finale de la Coupe d'Afrique des Nations le 18 janvier ont regagné le Sénégal ce jeudi soir, après avoir purgé leurs peines de prison pour hooliganisme, prononcées par la justice marocaine. « Ils ont été accueillis en héros par les membres du 12e Gaïndé, comité de supporters de l'équipe nationale du Sénégal, raconte PressAfrik. Vêtus de tenues et casquettes aux couleurs du Sénégal, drapeaux à la main, les militants du groupe " Allez Casa" se sont joints à la mobilisation pour soutenir leurs trois confrères. » La Radio Télévision Sénégalaise renchérit, en rapportant, qu'ils ont été « chaleureusement accueillis par une foule nombreuse composée de proches, de supporters et de sympathisants. » Autre signe, s'il y en avait besoin, que ce retour était attendu : plus tôt cette semaine, Le Quotidien titrait que « Les trois «Gaïndé» rentraient au bercail ce jeudi. » Quinze supporters sénégalais restent néanmoins en détention. La justice marocaine les a condamnés à des peines allant de six mois à un an de prison.

In this interview with BizNews, Ryan Passmore – Durban-based fintech founder of ZenFund Connect – unpacks why he believes South Africa's student funding system is broken, and how he proposes to fix it. Passmore points to the "missing middle": households earning between R350,000 and R600,000 a year, who are too well-off to qualify for NSFAS but cannot afford the R19,000 a month the University of Pretoria says it costs to put a child through an undergraduate degree. He cites stark 2026 figures – NSFAS received over 900,000 first-time applications, with more than 100,000 rejected outright, while of 500,000 continuing students assessed, only 100,000 were approved. Passmore says: "I believe the missing middle is South Africa's policy blind spot." He outlines how ZenFund Connect – a nonprofit student life ecosystem associated with the Chad le Clos Foundation, spanning South Africa's 26 public universities – aims to plug the gap through three integrated modules: finance, DHET-verified student accommodation, and career placement. Passmore argues that bursaries and loans alone will not solve graduate unemployment; only an end-to-end ecosystem that walks with the student from matric through to a job placement can shift the trajectory of the working-class families he calls the country's invisible backbone – the nurses, teachers, civil servants and small business owners whose children South Africa cannot afford to lose.

Au sommaire de Radio Foot internationale ce lundi 4 mai 2026 à 16h10 T.U. rediffusion à 21h10 T.U. : - Italie, 2e Scudetto pour l'Inter Milan. ; - La Ligue 1 à l'heure du « Pogback ! » ; - Jean-Jacques Ndala de nouveau au sifflet d'une finale !   - Italie, 21e Scudetto pour l'Inter Milan. À trois journées du terme, et après avoir loupé le titre d'un point l'an passé et échoué en finale de C1, les Nerazzurri, vainqueurs hier (3 mai 2026) de Parme, ne peuvent plus être rejoints par les Napolitains, champions sortants. Un succès pour le coach roumain Cristian Chivu qui a su relancer les Milanais, et rajeunir l'effectif (Bony, Diouf, Esposito). Club constant, meilleure attaque, le bémol reste l'élimination aux barrages d'accession de la C1 par Bodo/Glimt. L'Inter peut encore réaliser le doublé championnat/Coupe. - Des poursuivants loin derrière. Notamment les rivaux de l'AC Milan (battus hier à Sassuolo), et la Juventus Turin qui a calé ce dimanche face aux relégués de l'Hellas Vérone. Quel bilan de cette saison de Serie A ? Quel bilan de l'année de foot en Italie ? Matteo Cioffi est en direct avec nous.  - La Ligue 1 à l'heure du « Pogback ! » Paul Pogba enfin titularisé à Monaco ! Une première depuis 3 ans pour la « Pioche ». Les joueurs du Rocher se sont imposés à Metz (condamné à la descente), mais le milieu international a manqué de rythme. - Le bon week-end du foot lyonnais ! Les féminines ont renversé Arsenal et obtenu un nouveau billet pour la finale de la C1. Elles y affronteront le FC Barcelone pour la 4e fois. Les Catalanes, qui l'ont emporté sur le Bayern Munich à domicile (4-2), la disputent régulièrement. - Bonne opération pour les hommes de Fonseca. Vainqueur de Rennes (4-2), l'OL passe 3e au classement à 2 journées de la fin. - Marseille sombre à nouveau ! Lourdement battu à Nantes, le 11 d'Habib Beye n'a pris que 4 points lors des 6 derniers matches. Les Phocéens vont-ils au final être écartés des compétitions européennes ? Bilan accablant et saison à oublier. La pire de l'ère McCourt ?  - Jean-Jacques Ndala de nouveau au sifflet d'une finale ! Le Congolais dirigera la 1ère manche de la finale de Ligue des champions CAF à Pretoria, entre les Mamelodi Sundowns et l'AS Far. Malgré les critiques nées de la dernière finale de la CAN, cette nomination confirme-t-elle son statut parmi les arbitres de référence sur le continent ? Pas sûr que les Rabatais se réjouissent de sa présence sur le terrain...  Pour débattre avec Hugo Moissonnier : Marc Libbra, Hervé Penot, Nicolas Vilas.

Anti-migratiegroepen in Zuid-Afrika willen komende maandag het land platleggen. Ze vinden dat de regering te weinig doet tegen migranten uit met name Nigeria en Ghana. Afgelopen week waren in Pretoria en Johannesburg al grote demonstraties tegen buitenlanders. We spreken erover met correspondent Hugo Boogaerdt in Pretoria. (12:24)Uitbuiting onder Spaans plastic In het zuiden van Spanje ligt Europa's grootste moestuin: hier worden de goedkope groenten en fruit geteeld die we terugvinden in onze supermarkten. Maar onder de eindeloze zee van plastic kassen schuilen de uitbuiting van migranten, onmenselijke leefomstandigheden en ecologische vernietiging. Fotograaf Rob Hornstra reisde naar deze bizarre wereld waar plastic, migranten zonder papieren, Spaanse tradities en zon minnende toeristen samenkomen. Samen samen met documentairemaker Arnold van Bruggen maakte hij er een boek over dat volgende week verschijnt. Presentatie Nadia Moussaid

Protesters claim illegal immigration causes urban overcrowding, labor tensions, and security threats. The protests led to shop closures amid fears of looting.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 27th of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in Psalm 20:7:”Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” Who are you trusting today? Are you trusting a certain organisation? Are you trusting in a certain person? No, there is only One we can trust in, and His name is Jesus!Let's go now to the Book of Acts 14:19: ”Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.” One minute a hero! If you read a few verses before, you'll see they wanted to worship Paul and Barnabas because they saw how Jesus had healed a lame man, and now, because of persuasive words from other people from Antioch and Iconium, they turned on him and stoned him. Now, in those days, when you got stoned, that was the death penalty. Paul must have been in a terrible state and yet the next morning he was up on his feet again. What a man!I'll never forget a Rugby Cup Final, being played at King's Park Rugby Stadium in Durban between our team, the Sharks, and the Blue Bulls from Pretoria. The score was hanging in the balance. We were winning the cup. There were a couple of points in it. The referee issued a penalty to our team. All our little scrum half had to do was kick the ball out, and the game was over, but he didn't. He argued with the ref. The ref told him to be quiet. He carried on arguing. The ref turned the penalty around and gave it to the Blue Bulls, and up came their champion kicker, and he kicked that ball through the posts, and they beat us by one point. I want to tell you, from a hero, he became an absolute villain. I think he had to be escorted off the field. The crowd just turned instantly. That is how easy it is to change things!We need to put our trust in the Lord. What about Jesus Himself, when He was coming into Jerusalem before the Passover, they were worshipping Him, throwing their clothes on the road and cutting down palm branches. The next day, literally within a couple of hours, they were screaming out, “Crucify Him”, crucify the Darling of Heaven. Let's not do that today. Let's put our trust in Jesus alone!God bless you and goodbye.

De son vrai nom Stellio Gilles Robert Capo Chichi, Kemi Seba est en prison en Afrique du Sud depuis le 13 avril. Et il devrait être fixé sur son sort à la fin du mois, le 29, le temps que la justice sud-africaine examine sa demande de libération. Kemi Seba est accusé de séjour illégal dans le pays, son visa de deux mois ayant expiré. Mais surtout, pointe Le Monde Afrique, « l'activiste, déchu de sa nationalité française et connu pour ses attaques contre l'impérialisme occidental en Afrique, est sous le coup d'un mandat d'arrêt émis par le Bénin, qui le soupçonne d'avoir soutenu la tentative de coup d'État du 7 décembre dernier. (…) À la tête d'un groupuscule baptisé Urgences panafricanistes, Kemi Seba, rappelle le journal, est un habitué des propos incendiaires à l'égard de la France et de sa politique sur le continent africain. Cela lui a déjà valu d'être expulsé ou refoulé de plusieurs pays du continent, dont la Côte d'Ivoire, le Sénégal ou encore la Guinée. » Le Bénin demande donc son extradition. Lundi, rapporte La Nouvelle Tribune à Cotonou, « le Procureur Spécial de la Cour de répression des infractions économiques et du terrorisme du Bénin, Mario Metonou, a précisé que Kemi Seba était sous le coup de deux mandats d'arrêt. Le premier, en date du 13 juin de l'année dernière, porte sur des faits de blanchiment de capitaux. Le second, en date du 12 décembre, concerne des faits d'apologie de crime ainsi que d'incitation à la haine et à la violence. » Détenteur d'un passeport diplomatique nigérien Le Journal du Niger rappelle que Kemi Seba bénéficie d'un passeport diplomatique nigérien. « À Niamey, on observe la situation, affirme le site nigérien. Le ministre Bakary Yaou Sangaré, ayant déjà certifié l'authenticité du passeport diplomatique de Kemi Seba, on attend désormais la décision de la justice sud-africaine. En tant qu'ambassadeur itinérant du Niger, Kemi bénéficie d'une protection légale. Finalement, l'audience du 29 avril sera cruciale, pointe encore Le Journal du Niger : elle dira si l'Afrique du Sud traite Kemi Seba comme un simple justiciable en infraction de séjour, ou comme un prisonnier politique dont le sort dépendra des équilibres diplomatiques entre Pretoria, Cotonou et Niamey. » Des accointances avec des groupes d'extrême droite ? Jeune Afrique, pour sa part, publie une longue enquête sur les « liaisons dangereuses » de Kemi Seba avec des groupes d'extrême droite et la galaxie russe. Une enquête qui « met au jour des liens avec des suprémacistes blancs et des connexions avec des réseaux proches de Moscou. » En effet, précise le site panafricain, « Kemi Seba a été interpellé dans un centre commercial du quartier de Brooklyn, à Pretoria, en compagnie de son fils, mais aussi d'un certain François Van der Merwe, un Sud-Africain membre d'un groupuscule suprémaciste blanc. Selon les autorités sud-africaines, Kemi Seba aurait chargé Van der Merwe d'organiser son exfiltration du pays. » Ce Sud-Africain aurait « des liens étroits avec la galaxie russe ultra-religieuse et anti-occidentale », pointe Jeune Afrique. La même mouvance « qui a entretenu des connexions avec Kemi Seba ces dernières années. » Barbouzeries ? D'après des sources proches de Kemi Seba, citées par Jeune Afrique, l'activiste « aurait été victime d'une “opération de barbouzerie“ montée “par les services de renseignements français et béninois“, et à laquelle auraient participé “des officines notamment basées en Côte d'Ivoire“. Une thèse également avancée par Hery Djehuty, coordinateur de l'ONG Urgences panafricanistes, dans un entretien diffusé hier sur les réseaux sociaux. Récusant tout lien entre Kemi Seba et le groupuscule suprémaciste blanc, il dénonce une “intoxication médiatique“. » Mais Jeune Afrique maintient ses informations : « l'exfiltration de Kemi Seba et de son fils était bel et bien préparée depuis plusieurs jours, voire plusieurs semaines, en lien avec François van der Merwe. » Et le site panafricain de s'interroger : « Kemi Seba a-t-il tourné la page de ses anciennes amitiés d'extrême droite ? A-t-il coupé les ponts avec ses sponsors russes, comme l'affirment certains de ses proches ? Ou bien, au nom de la révolution qu'il défend et de ses intérêts politiques, continue-t-il d'entretenir des alliances contre nature ? La justice sud-africaine devrait contribuer à apporter un peu de lumière sur les zones d'ombre de l'activiste. »

Reaksie word steeds ontvang oor Suid-Afrikaanse EFF-leier Julius Malema se vonnis en verlof om daarteen te appelleer. Landdros Twanet Olivier het gesê dat sy nie twyfel aan sy skuldbevinding nie. Volgens AMT se nuutste politieke ontleding deur Roland Henwood van die Universiteit van Pretoria, is alles polities op die spel vir Malema. Dit beteken nie hy sal nie die situasie tot sy guns probeer uitbuit nie.

The approach by the English political parties of the time to the young Boer Republics was confused, and even contradictory. William Gladstone, a liberal, had succeeded in ousting the Tory's under Benjamin Disraeli in his famous Midlothian Campaign of 1879 and 1880. In 1880 Gladstone formed his second ministry and almost immediately, the promises he'd made about foreswearing foreign wars were broken. There is a direct link between what was going on in South Africa and in Ireland. These two territories, so far apart geographically, featured as joint threats in the English mind of the time. The most direct link is Gladstone himself. He had criticized the annexation of the Transvaal during his Midlothian Campaign, but once in power, he hesitated to reverse British policy, fearing a domino effect where weakness in Pretoria would lead to revolution in Dublin. By 1880, the Irish Nationalists began to see the Boers not just as fellow farmers, but as fellow victims of British coercion. This Irish link flourished throughout the 19th and part of the 20th Century with Irish Nationalists fighting both for the Boers during the Second Anglo-Boer War. The shift in Irish nationalist alignment was driven by a move from anti-imperial solidarity to human rights internationalism. Initially, the Irish supported the Boers as fellow "peasant-republicans" fighting the British Empire, but as the 20th century progressed, the Irish Republican movement increasingly identified with the ANC, viewing the struggle against Apartheid as a mirror to their own fight against institutionalized discrimination in Northern Ireland. By the height of the Cold War, the Irish Republican Army's Marxist-leaning leadership saw the Afrikaner government as a pro-Western, colonialist proxy, leading them to provide tactical advice and training to Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) to help dismantle the very state they had once ideologically championed. But at first, they were close allies in both spirit and in their political expression. The South African crisis which led to the first Boer War of 1880 and 1881, occurred because the British government claimed to be the paramount authority and trustee of South Africa, and the Boers rejected this claim. Earlier, in 1878, Paul Kruger and Piet Joubert had sailed to London with a petition signed by over 6,500 Boers demanding the reversal of the Transvaal annexation. Sir Michael Hicks Beach had just taken over as Colonial Secretary from the more diplomatic and polite Lord Carnarvon. Hicks-Beach was nicknamed Black Michael, referring to his famously long, dark beard, his tall, thin, imposing frame, and his legendary dark temper. He was known for being abrasive, combative, and having very little patience for those who didn't respect British authority. To the English, it seemed that South Africa was on the verge of becoming another Ireland, the inveterate hostility of whose people might only be held down at tremendous cost by main force. Gladstone and his cabinet grappled with one main question. In both territories, Transvaal and Ireland, should a nationalist reaction be met with coercion, or concession?

Correction: In the interview, the host mistakenly mentioned that Prof. Ofuasia is teaching the University of Pretoria. In reality, Prof Ofuasia is currently a decoloniality research associate at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Previously, he has taught at the National Open University of Nigeria, FCT Abuja. Ìwà: the Process-Relational Dimension to African Metaphysics (Springer, 2024) approaches the subject of African metaphysics historically as it connects Ancient Egypt to Yorùbá. It provides a history of African metaphysics from ancient Egypt or Kemet down to John Boakye Danquah and Placide Tempels in the 20th century and then Innocent Asouzu, Ada Agada, and Aribiah David Attoe, in the 21st century. As it surpasses the deductions of these previous works, it moves further to showcase African originality and approaches to studying reality, whilst resisting the temptation to deduce conclusions from Western philosophy. It is the first book in the history of African philosophy to use a process-relational approach to interrogate African metaphysics. It also serves to harmonize and engage prominent African scholars who have written on the subject of African metaphysics. The general scope of this book centers on engaging the history of distortion and misunderstanding of African metaphysics by providing a relevant and reliable process-relational background as well as an alternative trivalent logic system. Unless African metaphysical theories are understood from this perspective, they will remain powerless to overcome these misrepresentations. It appeals to students and researchers internationally actively working in the fields of African philosophy, Intercultural African studies as well as process studies.

In this episode of IsraelCast, host Steven Shalowitz sits down with journalist and commentator Rolene Marks for a wide-ranging and timely conversation on Israel, South Africa, media, and modern antisemitism. Drawing on her background as a South African-born Israeli journalist, Marks offers sharp insight into the deteriorating relationship between South Africa and Israel, the political motivations behind Pretoria's hostility, and the broader international forces shaping anti-Israel narratives.

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.
