In the most recent annual assessment of trade relationships, the US listed three pages of ‘non-tariff barriers' imposed by South Africa, whose exports currently enter America duty-free. From August 1, Trump Tariffs will make SA goods 40% more expensive for Americans. Trade expert, former WTO senior official Johann Human rates the chances of SA avoiding Trump Tariffs at ‘zero' and in this powerful interview, says unless Pretoria starts to take US objections, SA goods will soon be priced out of the world's biggest marketplace, with a devastating impact on employment. He spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

« Qui l'eût cru ? Donald Trump qui s'intéresse subitement aux intérêts africains ! ». Ce cri de surprise feinte, voire ironique, c'est celui du Pays aujourd'hui, alors que le chef d'État s'apprête à accueillir cinq homologues du continent pour parler économie et commerce : le Sénégalais Bassirou Diomaye Faye, le Gabonais Brice Oligui Nguema, le Bissau-guinéen Umaro Sissoco Embalo, le Mauritanien Mohamed Ould Ghazouani et le Libérien Joseph Boakaï. Dernière étape en date d'une séquence décidément très africaine pour les États-Unis, puisque le journal burkinabè rappelle que, fin juin, « l'administration Trump avait réuni plusieurs chefs d'État et de gouvernement à Luanda en Angola » et qu' « il se dit également qu'un sommet plus large est prévu pour se tenir en septembre ».  Au Gabon, l'Union, se félicite de cette réunion, véritable témoignage, selon le quotidien proche du pouvoir, « de la volonté de l'administration Trump d'institutionnaliser des partenariats gagnant-gagnant, (…) loin de toute forme d'aide ou d'assistance ». Une coopération équilibrée, vraiment ? Le Pays n'y croit pas trop… et Aujourd'hui au Faso non plus, avec cette interrogation : « pourquoi le choix de ces cinq pays, lesquels ont sans doute un partenariat avec l'oncle Sam, mais pas gigantesque au point d'être préférés par exemple à la RDC, au Rwanda ou au Kenya ? ». Pour Le Pays, si le président américain se met à courtiser ces États « qu'il a royalement ignorés au cours de son premier mandat », c'est que « quelque chose a changé » … tout simplement, juge le journal, Donald Trump a compris qu'il « pouvait faire de bonnes affaires avec l'Afrique ».  Contrebalancer la montée en puissance des Brics Brics qui se sont, eux aussi, réunis cette semaine.

Qu'ils le veuillent ou non, ils n'ont pas le choix : « la posture ferme adoptée par les autorités américaines nécessite cette approche, qui est (…) vitale pour la durabilité à long terme des Brics ».  Et Aujourd'hui au Faso ne dit pas autre chose : « c'est bien, ces grandes entités pour contrer le diktat des pays puissants, mais le continent devrait d'abord muscler des organisations telles l'Union africaine » pour faire valoir ses propres intérêts, face aux intérêts individuels des uns et des autres, car « le tout n'est pas égal à la somme des parties ».  De nouvelles relations au détriment d'un partenaire historique  L'Europe qui semble reléguée au second plan… D'où cette question de Jeune Afrique : le vieux continent « a-t-il encore un rôle à jouer » sur le sol africain ?

The attack in democracy under President Donald Trump in the United States is both broader and deeper than you think. In this timely conversation with Carl LeVan, Professor and Chair of Politics, Governance, and Economics at American University – but speaking only in his personal capacity – we hear about the way that the government has attempted to silence critical voices by intimidating a remarkably wide range of institutions from law firms to universities and on to civil society groups and the media. This new challenge has led to the emergence of fresh sites of resistance, with new alliances and coalitions being formed outside of old structures.

The attack in democracy under President Donald Trump in the United States is both broader and deeper than you think. In this timely conversation with Carl LeVan, Professor and Chair of Politics, Governance, and Economics at American University – but speaking only in his personal capacity – we hear about the way that the government has attempted to silence critical voices by intimidating a remarkably wide range of institutions from law firms to universities and on to civil society groups and the media. This new challenge has led to the emergence of fresh sites of resistance, with new alliances and coalitions being formed outside of old structures. This podcast is therefore an essential guide not only to size and scale of the threat to democracy in Africa today, but also to the shape of the fightback to come. Guest: A.

In conversation with Takudzwa Mharadze   In this episode of Africa Right Talk, the conversation unfolds against the backdrop of the upcoming international conference themed “Advancing Justice through Reparations: Reparations, Restoration, and Renaissance,” that was held from 2–3 June 2025 in Pretoria, South Africa. This landmark event was co-organised by the University of Pretoria, the University of Goma, the University of The Bahamas, and the Bahamas National Reparations Committee, in collaboration with key African Union human rights bodies and CARICOM. The conference brought together academics, policymakers, activists, and experts to explore strategies for reparative justice, with papers to be published in the 2025 African Human Rights Yearbook. Central to this episode is a compelling discussion with Takudzwa Mharadze, who emphasises the need for unified Africa-Caribbean action to demand reparations, restore dignity, and challenge the lingering impacts of colonialism and slavery. Drawing on the African Union's recent designation of 2025 as the year of reparations, the speaker highlights the importance of learning from the Caribbean's efforts, particularly CARICOM's ten-point reparations plan. He critiques narrow, financial-only views of reparations and instead champions a broader, holistic agenda that includes debt cancellation, cultural restitution, education reform, and decolonization of knowledge. The episode underscores the necessity of building a robust, inclusive continental reparations framework, one that unites Africa and the diaspora through shared history and common purpose. The University of Pretoria and its partners are commended for their role in convening diverse voices and fostering a platform for sustained collaboration and policy influence through research, advocacy, and regional solidarity.   Takudzwa Mharadze is a PhD candidate in Development Studies at the University of Johannesburg, where he is undertaking research on Food and Nutrition Security, Adaptation and Resilience in the Context of Climate Variability in Zimbabwe: The Case of Gokwe-South District. His study critically explores the intersections of climate change, food systems, and rural livelihoods, with a focus on enhancing community resilience in vulnerable regions. Takudzwa brings over a decade of experience in development research, monitoring and evaluation, and academic and policy analysis. Throughout his career, he has engaged with diverse development themes including climate justice, disaster risk reduction, sustainable agriculture, and social protection. His practical experience spans both governmental and non-governmental sectors, where he has contributed to policy formulation, programme design, capacity building, and impact assessments. Currently serving as a part-time lecturer at the Zimbabwe Open University. T. Mharadze is an early career researcher with a strong interest in academic publishing. He is committed to contributing scholarly knowledge that bridges research, policy, and practice to address pressing socio-economic and environmental challenges in sub-Saharan Africa     This was recorded on 2 June 2025.             Youtube: https://youtu.be/MpQFogU6lns Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Libraryhttps://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc Limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=45259238

His words echoed the views of his South African born former adviser, Elon Musk, who has repeatedly used his X platform to amplify false claims of a “white genocide”. Many South Africans, including several Afrikaners that we have spoken to, dismiss the idea that they are under attack as wild misinformation.

In conversation with Phakamile Madonsela and Belinda Matore In this episode of Africa Rights Talk, Belinda Matore sits down with Phakamile Madonsela, from Media Monitoring Africa. The episode explores the pressing issue of online harms faced by children in South Africa and the continent more broadly. Drawing from her work at Media Monitoring Africa, Madonsela outlines the dual nature of the digital world—highlighting both its potential for connectivity, education, and self-expression, and its darker side, including cyberbullying, child sexual abuse material, and online stalking. She stresses the importance of equipping young people with digital literacy and the tools to become responsible digital citizens while also emphasizing the need for inclusive, rights-based digital participation frameworks.   Phakamile highlights the interplay between personal responsibility, institutional duty, and systemic influence also speaks to the important role of the state and digital platforms in safeguarding children's rights online. While much responsibility has traditionally been placed on parents, often without sufficient regard to their digital literacy or social context, the state remains the primary duty bearer in upholding children's rights. Through enforceable legislation, such as South Africa's POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act), the state is empowered to set the rules by which tech companies must operate. Yet, the interview highlighted how inconsistencies in enforcement allow global platforms like Instagram and TikTok to offer less protection to children in South Africa than in Europe. This disparity reflects a need for stronger state-led regulation and enforcement to ensure equal digital protection.    Phakamile Madonsela is a dedicated advocate for the protection and promotion of children's rights in the media, specializing in children's rights, media, and digital advocacy.  At MMA,she leads critical projects that advance child participation and digital rights within the African context, with a particular emphasis on creating safe, inclusive digital spaces for young people. Her expertise centers on the intersection of human rights, internet governance, and children's digital rights, with a passion for child participation in democratic processes. Notably, she was listed in the Mail & Guardian 200 Young South Africans in 2019 and selected for the DGMT Innovation Fellowship in 2024, and is currently  pursuing a Masters degree in Multidisciplinary Human Rights to further advance her work in child participation and digital rights within the African context.   Belinda Matore is a passionate advocate for children's rights in the digital age, with a special focus on online child protection, digital rights and legal technology. As a Doctor of Laws (LLD) candidate at the University of Pretoria, her research explores legal technology, regulatory compliance, and digital governance, all through the lens of safeguarding children in digital spaces. In her role as Project Officer at the Expression, Information, and Digital Rights (EIDR) Unit, Belinda leads work that strengthens freedom of expression, access to information, digital rights and child safety frameworks within the African context. Her work is driven by a commitment to shaping policies that uphold children's rights online and empower their participation in digital society.

In conversation with Dr. Dennis Wamalwa In this episode of the Africa Rights Talk Podcast, Dr. Dennis Wamalwa joins the conversation during a NANHRI training held in Pretoria from April 10 to 11, 2025. The training focused on strengthening the capacity of African National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in the protection and promotion of the rights of intersex persons. Dr. Wamalwa, a leading human rights advocate and academic, shares key reflections on the role of NHRIs in addressing the systemic invisibility, stigma, and discrimination faced by intersex persons across the continent. He discusses the necessity of aligning institutional practices with human rights standards and the importance of integrating intersex issues into broader national human rights agendas. Drawing on insights from the training, Dr. Wamalwa emphasizes the need for capacity building that goes beyond technical knowledge to include empathy, cultural sensitivity, and legal reform. He highlights how African Commission Resolution 552 serves as a critical framework for guiding NHRIs in their mandate to protect intersex persons, who are often marginalised due to deeply rooted social and medical norms. The conversation underscores the urgency of institutional accountability, inclusive policy development, and sustained advocacy to ensure intersex persons are not left behind in the human rights discourse. The episode serves as a compelling call for action, urging NHRIs and civil society actors to work collaboratively in transforming awareness into tangible protections for intersex individuals in Africa.   Dr. Dennis Wamalwa is a Kenyan human rights leader and the first openly intersex person to be appointed as a Commissioner of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) in February 2022. He holds a PhD in Peace and Conflict Studies and is a university lecturer.  Dr. Wamalwa has become a powerful advocate against discrimination toward intersex persons. He delivered candid testimony before Kenya's Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, outlining his experiences of rights violations based on his identity. As Commissioner, he champions legal reforms such as Kenya's inclusion of intersex status in the 2019 census and 2022 Children's Act, and continues to push for stronger protection frameworks, public awareness, and policy implementation to ensure recognition, dignity, and equal rights for intersex individuals across Kenya and Africa.   This conversation was recorded on 11 April 2025.   Youtube: https://youtu.be/MpQFogU6lns Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Libraryhttps://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc Limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=452592386

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 1st of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Matthew 12:50:”For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” I want to speak today about family. The first family that ever existed was the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Yes, we're talking about the Holy Trinity. That is why family is so very important to our Lord Jesus Christ and that is why the devil is hell-bent on destroying families. What do they say? You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family. The hardest place to be a Christian is in the family because they really know you. There are no masks on. It's the real deal, but seriously, the first family on earth was Adam and Eve and they had two boys. One's name was Cain and the other was Abel and what happened? Yes, they fought but they didn't just fight. In fact, Cain killed his brother. Families are not easy places to get on with one another.Early this morning, I was in a prayer meeting and as I walked into the little chapel where we meet as a family, a men's prayer meeting, and we've become very close to each other over many, many years. One of my brothers was there, a senior man, and I said, ”How are things with the family?” He said, ”My wife has gone up to Pretoria to spend time with my daughter because she has had a little baby and she is helping her with the baby.” I said, ”Are you missing her?” And he looked at me and he smiled. He said, ”Yes.” He said, ”I'm missing the arguing.” He had his tongue in his cheek.Family is very important. The family that prays together, stays together. We really need to get into the habit of praying as a family. Even this morning after we had met together, there's over twenty men, we started to sing, we sing before we pray. I want to sing a song for you and I want you to join me because we sang it this morning and it just brings a bonding and a family love.Be still and know that I am GodBe still and know that I am GodBe still and know that I am GodI am the Lord that healeth theeI am the Lord that healeth theeI am the Lord that healeth theeGod bless you today and stand strong together as a family,God bless you and goodbye.

Episode 367: In the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, the world awoke to the shocking news that South African Olympic and Paralympic hero Oscar Pistorius had shot and killed his girlfriend, a 29-year-old paralegal and model Reeva Steenkamp, inside his Pretoria home. Pistorius, celebrated for overcoming the loss of his legs to become a global sporting icon, now stood accused of a crime that would grip and divide a nation.
