Chinese engagement in Africa is seen by many people as a classic example of neo-colonial exploitation. China, according to the narrative, is merely the latest in a long line of predatory foreigners seeking to drain the continent's vast reserves of oil, minerals, and timber. The narrative that frames the Chinese as the aggressors and Africans as the victims has largely been defined by U.S., European, and Indian entities over the past several decades and fits neatly into African historical traumas that help explain why so many people feel this way even though it doesn't comport with the evidence. This week, Eric, Géraud, and Cobus discuss why these narratives are so durable and then explore the sensitive issue of who should be empowered to tell the China-Africa story.

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to deliver his first State of the Nation address since last year's elections, focusing on development and driving economic growth, job creation, and development. Norwegian energy giant Equinor is halving investment in renewable energy over the next two years while increasing oil and gas production. And Sam Fenwick also hears about more than 100 farmers in County Kerry in southwest Ireland, who are set to become millionaires after their dairy cooperative agreed to sell its shares to the Kerry Group, one of Ireland's biggest food producers.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been fighting to advance his own version of progressive race communism inside the country for many years. Recently, a new law was passed making it easier for the South African government to expropriate land and redistribute it along racial lines. U.S. President Donald Trump drew attention to the issue when he promised on social media that he will deny aid to the country if the expropriation law stays in place. Ernst van Zyl of AfriForum joins me to discuss the situation on the ground and what the expropriation law means for Afrikaners in South Africa.

“What is the problem if South African investors invest in Congo? Why should it be Rwanda complaining, not the Congolese?” – Retired SANDF Lieutenant General Maomela Motau On Sunday the 26th of January 2025, the M23 rebel group took over the city of Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. It followed intense fighting with the country's main army. Since then, more than 700 people have been killed, with thousands more forced to seek refuge elsewhere. This comes as South Africa and Rwanda have been engaged in a war of words over their interests in the DRC conflict. South Africa says it's part of a Southern African Development Community (SADC) peacekeeping mission. Rwanda, however, rejects this and accuses President Cyril Ramaphosa's nation of getting involved purely to benefit from the mineral-rich country. But Rwanda's own involvement in the DRC has raised eyebrows. Presenter: Alan Kasujja Guests: Retired SANDF Lieutenant General Maomela Motau and Ugandan journalist and international relations expert Raymond Mujuni

He now restricts these factory visits to a smaller number, all of which he has known for many years. He also spends many weeks each year traveling around Asia.The focus of the company's services is on the global economy, including the changing geopolitical and financial structures, China's economy and its copper sector, and then the global copper industry as each part is interconnected.Simon is the author of the “Frontline China Report Service,” which is marketed by the TIS Group.

It's Tuesday, February 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Egyptian Christian jailed for converting from Islam An Egyptian Christian, Abdulbaqi Saeed Abdo, is a father of five and converted from Islam to the Christian faith. Originally from Yemen, West Asia, he has been released from an Egyptian prison after three years of incarceration. Abdo was indicted on charges of participating in a private Facebook group which advocated the Christian faith. Alliance Defending Freedom International represented the Christian convert who suffered poor treatment in prison, affecting his heart, liver, and kidneys. Trump pauses tariffs on Canada & Mexico after pledge to boost border enforcement On Monday, President Donald Trump agreed to a 30-day pause on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada since America's two largest trading partners took steps to appease his concerns about border security and drug trafficking, reports the Associated Press. TRUMP: “Had a great talk with Mexico. We have to stop fentanyl from coming in, and we have to stop the illegal aliens from coming in.” In the face of a 25% tariff south of the border, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would reinforce the border with 10,000 members of her country's National Guard. TRUMP: “They've agreed to put in 10,000 soldiers permanently, like forever, 10,000 soldiers at their side of the border and stop fentanyl.” That's why Trump called off that tariff threat for the moment. Mexico's trade surplus with the U.S. is running at $160 billion. The Trump administration had also suggested a 25% tariff on Canadian annual imports of some $430 billion. Initially, the Canadian government responded with a suggestion of a 25% tariff on American goods, currently running at $107 billion. But, on Monday afternoon, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted on X that the pause would occur “while we work together,” saying that his government would name a fentanyl czar, list Mexican cartels as terrorist groups, and launch a “Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl, and money laundering.” Will Trump's tariff threat persuade China and European Union? Trump has announced a 10% tariff on China on $400 billion of imports to begin today if President Xi Jinping does not demonstrably commit to combat illegal immigration and drug smuggling, reports Reuters. TRUMP: “If we can't make a deal with China, then the tariffs will be very, very substantial.” China's surplus is $270 billion. Europe will not be immune to President Trump's tariff pressure either. He is planning to levy a tariff on the European Union which, at this point, holds a trade surplus of $160 billion with the United States. U.S. Agency for Int'l Development under control of State Dept now Meanwhile, the Trump administration has announced that the U.S. Agency for International Development, primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance, will move under the direct control of the U.S. State Department. It will no no longer act as an independent agency. USAID spending has run between $15 and $20 billion per year over the last 20 years. It was created in 1961 under the Kennedy administration. In related news, the USAID website was taken down Saturday. Dept. of Defense ends identity months The U.S. Defense Department has announced an end to the sponsorship and support of “Identity Months” through the use of official resources. That will include Black History Month, Women's History Month, and National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The release entitled “Identity Months Dead at DoD” stated that the department would instead “celebrate the valor and success of military heroes of all races, genders, and backgrounds as we restore our warrior culture and ethos.” New York doctor to be arrested for prescribing Abortion Kill Pill A Louisiana grand jury has issued an arrest warrant for a New York doctor who allegedly prescribed abortion kill pills for a pregnant minor who resided in the state of Louisiana. The jury indicted Dr. Margaret Carpenter; her company, Nightingale Medical, PC; and the minor's mother for the felony of administering an abortion-inducing drug to the child. West Baton Rouge District Attorney Tony Clayton told the Associated Press that the mother turned herself in to the police last week. Job 24:1, 14 speaks of this. “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, why do those who know Him see not His days? … The murderer rises with the light; He kills the poor and needy; and in the night he is like a thief.” Education decline in America The United States is leading the world in educational decline, according to the most recent Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study issued towards the end of 2024. Our students' math scores dropped from 13th place in 2019 to 25th place in the 2023 testing. American 4th graders' scores fell 18 points after 2019, while 8th graders' scores fell by 27 points—the biggest drop since the United States began participating in the test in 1995. Peggy Carr, the commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, noted what she called the “steep, steep” declines — erasing progress made in previous years. Brazil, South Africa, and Morocco have the worst scores while China, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan lead the world in science and math. But let us all remember that “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction..” (Proverbs 1:7) Martyr John Rogers burned at the stake February 4, 1555 And, on this day in history, February 4th, 1555, John Rogers was burned at the stake, as the first Christian martyr under the reign of the English monarch Mary I. She became known as “Bloody Mary” for ordering a total of 280 Protestants burned at the stake. Rogers was a friend of William Tyndale and continued Tyndale's efforts to translate the Bible. Roger's work included the first complete English Bible and English Bible commentary, published under the pseudonym Thomas Matthews. His translation was known as the Matthews Bible. He is remembered for singing the Psalms as he was marched to the site of his execution. Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, February 4th in the year of our Lord 2025.

David Waldman spins the big wheel of awfulness, let's see if your number comes up! Our digital Pearl Harbor continues, and we continue to lose. Federal workers are reeling from the ongoing surprise attack. A 25-year-old working for Musk now has a few trillion dollars of his very own. You say it was your money? Try proving that with a deleted Social Security number. You say a federal judge backs you... What federal Judge? You say you have a paper trail… What's paper? Chuck Schumer has a few zingers that he had hoped to unleash on Gerald Ford but now is as good a time as any. Gops blame DEI in schools eating the cats and dogs to poop in the litterboxes. Steven Miller says that you saw the ax in Trump's hand when you let him in the door. What did you expect would happen? Anyhow, who's Trump? President Musk has finished measuring the drapes and will be accepting the Oval Office now. Today's random country is South Africa. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa begs Elon for mercy, not Donald. Donald's happy to just sign stuff and go golfing. Heads up to Democrats, today's target is the Department of Education, so you'll know to put that on your list to definitely get to, sometime. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau just said F' it and surrendered. The NSA puts burkas on their woman's photos. Susan Collins is concerned. Trump is putting together a sovereign wealth fund so that he still gets a chunk when this all goes down.
This week's episode we will discuss the resurgence of TB/ Tuberculosis. TB is a treatable and curable disease. Active, drug-susceptible TB disease is treated with a standard 6-month course of 4 antimicrobial drugs that are provided with information and support to the patient by a health worker or trained volunteer. Without such support, treatment adherence is more difficult. Since 2000, an estimated 66 million lives were saved through TB diagnosis and treatment. (credits: WHO) A total of 1.5 million people died from TB in 2020 (including 214 000 people with HIV). Worldwide, TB is the 13th leading cause of death and the second leading infectious killer after COVID-19 (above HIV/AIDS). In 2020, an estimated 10 million people fell ill with tuberculosis (TB) worldwide. 5.6 million men, 3.3 million women and 1.1 million children. TB is present in all countries and age groups. But TB is curable and preventable. In 2020, 1.1 million children fell ill with TB globally. Child and adolescent TB is often overlooked by health providers and can be difficult to diagnose and treat. In 2020, the 30 high TB burden countries accounted for 86% of new TB cases. Eight countries account for two thirds of the total, with India leading the count, followed by China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh and South Africa. Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) remains a public health crisis and a health security threat. Only about one in three people with drug resistant TB accessed treatment in 2020. Globally, TB incidence is falling at about 2% per year and between 2015 and 2020 the cumulative reduction was 11%. This was over half way to the End TB Strategy milestone of 20% reduction between 2015 and 2020. An estimated 66 million lives were saved through TB diagnosis and treatment between 2000 and 2020. Globally, close to one in two TB-affected households face costs higher than 20% of their household income, according to latest national TB patient cost survey data. The world did not reach the milestone of 0% TB patients and their households facing catastrophic costs as a result of TB disease by 2020. By 2022, US$ 13 billion is needed annually for TB prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care to achieve the global target agreed at the UN high level-meeting on TB in 2018. Funding in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) that account for 98% of reported TB cases falls far short of what is needed. Spending in 2020 amounted to US$ 5.3 billion less than half (41%) of the global target. There was an 8.7% decline in spending between 2019 and 2020 (from US$ 5.8 billion to US$ 5.3 billion), with TB funding in 2020 back to the level of 2016. Ending the TB epidemic by 2030 is among the health targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that most often affect the lungs. Tuberculosis is curable and preventable. TB is spread from person to person through the air. When people with lung TB cough, sneeze or spit, they propel the TB germs into the air. A person needs to inhale only a few of these germs to become infected. About one-quarter of the world's population has a TB infection, which means people have been infected by TB bacteria but are not (yet) ill with the disease and cannot transmit it. People infected with TB bacteria have a 5–10% lifetime risk of falling ill with TB. Those with compromised immune systems, such as people living with HIV, malnutrition or diabetes, or people who use tobacco, have a higher risk of falling ill. When a person develops active TB disease, the symptoms (such as cough, fever, night sweats, or weight loss) may be mild for many months. This can lead to delays in seeking care, and results in transmission of the bacteria to others. People with active TB can infect 5–15 other people through close contact over the course of a year. Without proper treatment, 45% of HIV-negative people with TB on average and nearly all HIV-positive people with TB will die. Who is most at risk? Tuberculosis mostly affects adults in their most productive years. However, all age groups are at risk. Over 95% of cases and deaths are in developing countries. People who are infected with HIV are 18 times more likely to develop active TB (see TB and HIV section below). The risk of active TB is also greater in persons suffering from other conditions that impair the immune system. People with undernutrition are 3 times more at risk. Globally in 2020, there were 1.9 million new TB cases that were attributable to undernutrition. Alcohol use disorder and tobacco smoking increase the risk of TB disease by a factor of 3.3 and 1.6, respectively. In 2020, 0.74 million new TB cases worldwide were attributable to alcohol use disorder and 0.73 million were attributable to smoking. Global impact of TB TB occurs in every part of the world. In 2020, the largest number of new TB cases occurred in the WHO South-East Asian Region, with 43% of new cases, followed by the WHO African Region, with 25% of new cases and the WHO Western Pacific with 18%. In 2020, 86% of new TB cases occurred in the 30 high TB burden countries. Eight countries accounted for two thirds of the new TB cases: India, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh and South Africa. Symptoms and diagnosis Common symptoms of active lung TB are cough with sputum and blood at times, chest pains, weakness, weight loss, fever and night sweats. WHO recommends the use of rapid molecular diagnostic tests as the initial diagnostic test in all persons with signs and symptoms of TB as they have high diagnostic accuracy and will lead to major improvements in the early detection of TB and drug-resistant TB. Rapid tests recommended by WHO are the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra and Truenat assays. Diagnosing multidrug-resistant and other resistant forms of TB (see Multidrug-resistant TB section below) as well as HIV-associated TB can be complex and expensive. Tuberculosis is particularly difficult to diagnose in children.

"Whiteness” is being used as it always has been: to separate exploited working class white people from intersectional solidarity and serve as buffer between marginalized peoples and the Elites. Today we are going to be talking about the new Trump administration and the driving force behind all their policies, its blitz of executive orders, the perverse need to control women's bodies and their obsession with nativism - ie the policy of protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants. Now that American Nativism is extending to South Africa as President Trump Takes of the Cause of Elon Musk, child of South African Apartheid, who is upset that white Akfriaaners are being dispossessed of their lands (they're really not) and threatens to cut funding to South Africa over an Issue that really has nothing to do with us. Just kidding, newsflash, Israel is involved. Mother Jones Article: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/elon-musk-trump-white-genocide-south-africa-aid-white-land-removal-twitter-x/

One might assume that the new president of the United States has a pretty full in-tray. So at first glance, it was a bit of a surprise to hear Donald Trump lash out at South Africa, threatening to cut aid over its 2023 Employment Equity Act. There's obvious suspicion over who did the whispering in Trump's ear. South African-born Elon Musk has been locking horns with the ANC-led government of Cyril Ramaphosa over its refusal to sign onto SpaceX founder's Starlink broadband via satellite system. Musk calls post-Apartheid laws on Black empowerment "openly racist". Who wins this showdown? More broadly, are tech titans now dictating US foreign policy? How much power do they wield? And as the developing world goes online, who controls the personal information of citizens who log on?

Nelson Mandela came to be considered one of the great global figures of his age, but for decades he was a prisoner in his own country. Branded a terrorist by South Africa's white authorities, as well as many foreign governments, he survived years in the wilderness, only to return in one of the most dramatic character rehabilitations in history. So what drove this son of a high-ranking family to become an activist against South Africa's apartheid regime? What strategies did he adopt, and at what personal cost? And what were the circumstances that brought about his release? This is a Short History of Nelson Mandela. A Noiser Production. Written by Dan Smith.

What does it look like to be biblical and counter-cultural when it comes to walking in unity today? Conversations around race, tolerance, social justice, racial reconciliation, and critical theory can be challenging and confusing, but what does a biblical approach look like? In this podcast, Jonathan Morrow had a conversation with Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, about their new book Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism.Get a copy of Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism Monique Duson is the President at the Center for Biblical Unity.

She worked as a Missionary to South Africa for over four years, serving children and teachers impacted by drugs, violence, and trauma. She spent two decades advocating for Critical Race Theory (CRT), but through a series of events, she began to clearly see the contradictions of CRT with the historic Christian worldview. Monique is now convinced that CRT is not the best way to achieve racial unity and actively speaks out against the use of CRT within the church. Monique has appeared on shows such as Relatable (with Allie Beth Stuckey), the Alisa Childers podcast, and Breakpoint (with John Stonestreet).
