Podcasts about Zambezi

Reaksie word ontvang op die skokkende veediefstal van 87 bees ter waarde van 783 000 Namibiese dollar in die Kavango Oos-streek. Vyf Angolese burgers het die diere op 10 Mei oor die grens gejaag. Die tipe misdaad is nie nuut nie met Zambezi-boere wat miljoene verloor het in die afgelope jare, sowel as boere in die ander noordelike streke. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die oud-Ohangwena goewerneur en afgetrede polisiehoof Sebastian Ndeitunga gepraat.

Sprinkane het na die goeie reën verwoesting begin saai in landerye in sommige noordelike areas. Die Zambezi-streek is veral hard getref en die landbouministerie het sowat 1 965 hektaar se landerye bespuit. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Zambezi-goewerneur Lawrence Sampofu gesels, wat sê dinge lyk nie goed nie en 'n groot probleem uitwys.

In today's episode, we discuss Zambezi Zinger at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, MO. This GCI hybrid coaster was constructed in 2023 as an homage to the 1973 original, but is it as good? Join us as we discuss Schwarzkopf's Jet Star models, Zinger's troubled opening, and...endangered salamanders and bats?Our Socials: linktr.ee/airtimetraveler

What this podcast is about.

Die goewerneur van die Zambezi-streek Lawrence Sampofu sê sommige skole in sy streek is reeds gesluit as gevolg van die stygende vlakke van die Zambezi-rivier. Die Namibiese Hidrologiese Diens waarsku dat inwoners van die oostelike Zambezirivier-vloedvlakte moet gereed maak vir oorstromings. Die Zambezi by Katima Mulilo is steeds besig om te styg en het gister 4,92 meter gemeet, teenoor die 3,91 meter op dieselfde tyd verlede jaar. Sampofu sê die rivier sal bo 5 meter styg.

Adjunk-landbouminister Ruth Masake sê die regering se pogings om plaaslike voedselproduksie te ondersteun, word deur plae soos sprinkane en kommandowurms uitgedaag. Sy het gepraat in Linyanti in die Zambezi-streek, en het gewasskade beklemtoon asook die behoefte om afhanklikheid van voedselinvoere te verminder. Masake is aan die woord.

Die Zambezi-streek loop erg deur onder 'n malaria-uitbreking, met meer as 2 000 gevalle per week wat net in die sentrale en westelike dele asook Katima Mulilo aangemeld word. Nege sterftes is aangeteken en tot dusver is 412 mense gehospitaliseer. Die Zambezi direkteur van gesondheid, Woita Kapumburu, het by 'n herdenking van wêreld TB-dag in Nakabolelwa gesê hulle het 165 beamptes in diens geneem om die uitbreking te help beveg. Kapumburu brei uit oor die uitdagings.

Sprinkane verniel gewasse, daar behoort vroeë waarskuwingstelsel te wees Die kabinet het hierdie week kommer uitgespreek oor 'n moontlike sprinkaanplaag-uitbreking wat uit die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap na Namibië kan versprei. Volgens berigte is daar reeds tekens van so 'n uitbreking in die Zambezi-streek. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gepraat Hanks Saisai, 'n tegniese adviseur by Agribank wat spesialiseer in gewasse, wat kommentaar lewer oor die impak van sprinkaanplae.

Oud-gesondheidsminister en Namibiese verteenwoordiger van die Eliminate Malaria-veldtog, dr. Richard Kamwi, het gereageer op kommentaar deur die Zambezi-streek se leier vir die beëindiging van malaria veldtog, Benjamin Limbo, wat sê dat die gesondheidsministerie geen plan het om die siekte te elimineer nie en fokus eerder net op beheer daarvan. Dit kom na die streek 8 793 malaria-gevalle en sewe sterftes sedert Januarie aangeteken het. Hy het met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gepraat.

Namibië se hidrologiese dienste sê daar ‘n groot moontlikheid van hewige oorstromings in veral die oostelike vloedvlaktes van die Zambezi-streek. Die Zambezi-rivier by Katima Mulilo se watervlak is 4,28 meter, aansienlik hoër as die 1,39 meter van verlede jaar. Kosmos 94.1 het die streeksgoewerneur van Zambezi, Lawrence Sampofu, gevra of die nodige maatreëls in plek is om veiligheid te verseker.

Martin Lukato, leier van die Nasionale Demokratiese Party, NDP, sluit aan by die parlement na jare van deursettingsvermoë. Hy is in Linyanti in die Zambezi-streek gebore en het in die polisiemag gedien voordat hy 'n hoofman en politikus geword het. Sy party het sy eerste setel in die 2024-verkiesing gewen, wat hom 'n stem in die Nasionale Vergadering gee. Hierdie inhuldiging beklemtoon Namibië se verbintenis tot demokrasie en uiteenlopende politieke verteenwoordiging. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Lukato gesels oor sy planne in die parlement.

Episode 212 it is - we're cruising into 1858 but wait! The sounds of gunfire! Yes, it's that old South African tune, war, set to the music of the guns. Our society is steeped in action, movement, confrontation. This is not a place for the insipid, the weak, the fearful. Whatever our belief system or our personal politics, what cannot be disputed is that the country and our ways are those of the warrior. This is an uncomfortable truth for metropolitans who are more used to single latte's than sling shots. Globally, 1858 is full of momentous events and incidents. It was the year in which Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace present their papers on evolution by natural selection in London. In India, a peace treaty ends the Indian Rebellion and later in the year the British parliament passes the Government of India Act. This transfers the territories of the British East India Company and their administration to the Direct Rule of the British Crown. The great stink in London led parliament to a bill to create modern sewerage system after the dreadful odours wafting about the British capital during the summer. Another young girl dreams up appiritions in the mode of Nongqawuse who dreamed up the cattle Killings - this time its Bernadette Soubirous who claims she saw several appritions appeared before her in the southern French town of Lourdes. Without going into too many gory details, around Ash Wednesday a woman appeared before her inside a grotto and after three appearances over time, began to talk. By October, the government had shut down the grotto there were so many people pitching up to take part in what was called a miracle. A miracle only she could see. Strange how these stories in this period repeated themselves. Back in Africa, David Livingstones six-year long second Zambezi expedition arrived on the Indian Ocean coast. Which is an important moment because inland, the tension between the Boers of the Free State and King Moshoeshoe of Basutoland had been exacerbated. A drought was reported in the region in 1858 which exacerbated everything. The Volksraad met in February 1858. They were faced with a request for help to deal with Posholi signed by a field-cornet and sixty five other burghers in the disputed area.Later in February 1858 Smithfield Landdrost Jacobus Sauer sent more news from the badlands - Posholi was, in his words, parading through Smithfield district with warriors and when accosted, said he was on a hunting expedition. When the Commando eventually gathered, there were one thousand armed and mounted Boers. Which was exactly ten percent the size of the Basotho force of ten thousand, all mounted with at least five hundred firearms. Back at the Thaba Bosiu ranch, Moshoeshoe was a sea of calm. It was now war and the king along with the territorial chiefs and councillors, put their plans into motion. They'd faced this kind of attack before, the British had raided them in 1852 if you recall. That had ended in disaster for the empire, so Moshoeshoe was not rattled by the latest assault on his independence.

Die N/a'an ku sê-stigting brei sy bewaringspogings uit deur bedrywighede oor te neem by Lianshulu en Susuwe lodges in die Zambezi-streek, met ingang van Maart vanjaar. Dit is van plan om beskerming van die natuurlewe te verbeter, veral deur 'n renoster-herintroduksie-uitvoerbaarheidstudie, en om gemeenskapsgesondheidsorg op te skerp deur 'n kliniek te vestig, terwyl eko-toerisme bevorder word. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gepraat met dr. Rudie van Vuuren, een van die medestigters van N/a'an ku sê.

'n Uitbreking van herfskommandowurms het vele mielielande in die Zambezi-streek vernietig en bedreig hierdie seisoen se oes. Landbouvoorligtingsbeamptes het vroeër gesê hulle sal ingryp wanneer plaagdoders beskikbaar is. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gepraat met Hanks Saisai, die tegniese adviseur vir gewas- en pluimveeproduksie by Agribank, wat sê die landbouministerie is druk besig om die uitbreking te beveg.

Namibiërs kan uitsien na nog reën oor groot dele van die land. Volgens die Namibiese weerkantoor word kitsvloede in die Ohangwena-, Oshikoto-, Kavango-, Zambezi- and Otjozondjupa-streke voorspel. Donderdag word swaar reën tot donderstorms verwag in die Khomas-streek. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Odillo Kgobetsi van die weerkantoor gesels.

Matige tot swaar storms met kitsoorstromings word môre in dele van die Ohangwena-, Oshikoto-, Kavango-, Zambezi- en Otjozondjupa-streke verwag, wat teen Donderdag na die Khomas-streek sal verskuif. Die Suide het egter nog nie soveel reën as die res van die land gekry nie, maar boere bly hoopvol. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Dolf de Wet van die plaas Michberg naby Grünau.

Namibië se landbousektor gaan geskiedenis maak deur sy eerste plaaslik-verboude piesangs in Junie, Julie en Augustus vanjaar te oes, wat 'n groot ommekeer vir die invoerafhanklike sektor sal wees. Namibië voer jaarliks nagenoeg 7 000 ton piesangs ter waarde van meer as 65 miljoen Namibiese dollar vanaf Suid-Afrika in. Piesangs is die tweede mees verbruikte vrug in Namibië na appels. Tangeni Hangula, die Namibiese Akkerbouraad se vrugte-ontwikkelingsbeampte, sê proefprojekte in die Zambezi-streek het goeie resultate gelewer. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Hangula gesels, wat verduidelik hoekom die proewe belangrik is.

Die kanse vir reën in die volgende sewe tot tien dae het afgeneem vanweë 'n sikloon wat besig is om by Madagaskar te ontwikkel. Dit trek vogtige lug ooswaarts, en weerpatrone sal 'n rukkie vat om na die sikloon te herstel. Goeie reën word egter verwag oor die twee Kavango- en die Zambezi-streke. Volgens weerkenner en suideboer George van die Merwe sal die grootste deel van die land nie binnekort neerslag kry nie.

Die goeie reënval het nie net damvlakke aansienlik verbeter nie, maar riviere soos die Zambezi en Okavango het ook verhoogde watervlakke aangeteken. Daar is egter uitdagings, veral die aanhoudende kwessie van onwettige visvang in die noordoostelike riviere. Ten spyte van veelvuldige waarskuwings van die Namibiese polisie in die Zambezi-streek, gaan onwettige visvang, veral snags met behulp van nette, onverpoosd voort weens beperkte wetstoepassingskapasiteit. Mark Paxton van Shamvura-kamp aan die Okavangorivier, het aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesê die kwessie is die afgelope 10 tot 15 jaar al onveranderd en daar word niks aan gedoen deur die owerhede nie.

Swaar reënval is oor die naweek in die sentrale streek en sommige streke in die Noorde aangeteken. Die meeste van die damme in die sentrale en suidelike streke het ook invloei gekry, wat tot optimisme onder boere lei. Sommige gebiede van die Zambezi-streek moet egter nog reën kry, maar swaar reënval en kitsvloede word in die komende week voorspel. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Lawrence Sampofu, die goewerneur van die Zambezi-streek, wat die situasie uiteensit.

Die Namibian Lives Matter-beweging glo dat die teistering van plaaslike inwoners langs die Botswana-Namibië-grens in die Zambezi-streek binnekort tot 'n einde kan kom. Vir jare het Zambezi se grensgemeenskappe teistering en moorde deur die Botswana-weermag in die gesig gestaar. Met Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah wat as president verkies is, na haar rol as minister van internasionale betrekkinge en samewerking, hoop die beweging dat daar hernieude pogings sal wees om hierdie kwessies aan te spreek. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Sinvula Mudabeti, die leier van die Namibian Lives Matter-beweging,

Die polisie in die Zambezi-streek moet nog 10 van die 13 verhoorafwagtende gevangenes wat uit die Menias Brian Libuto-polisiestasie ontsnap het, weer in hegtenis neem. Die gevangenes het die polisie Sondag oorrompel en weggekom. Drie van hulle, 'n Namibiër en twee Zambiërs, is onmiddellik weer in hegtenis geneem. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met NamPol streekbevelvoerder kommissaris Andreas Shilelo, wat 'n opdatering gee.

Die Namibië Statistieke Agentskap het die aanvang van die loodsfase vir die 2025/2026 Namibië Huishoudelike Inkomste- en Uitgawes-opname aangekondig. Die opname word elke vyf jaar gedoen en is 'n sleutelbron van data oor Namibië se huishoudelike inkomste en uitgawes, wat noodsaaklik is vir die berekening van armoede- en ongelykheidsaanwysers. Die loodsopname sal van Maandag tot 20 Oktober in agt ewekansig geselekteerde streke plaasvind: Erongo, Hardap, Kavango-Wes, Khomas, Kunene, Omaheke, Omusati en Zambezi. Dit het ten doel om die metodologie, opname-instrumente en logistiek te toets en te verfyn ter voorbereiding van die volledige opname, wat vir Maart volgende jaar tot Maart 2026 geskeduleer is. Mirjam Shihepo, die agentskap se skakelbeampte, het meer.

Daar is drie damme in die gebied van die die Lyambezi-meer in die Zambezi-streek, waar seekoeie gestrand is. By Munambeza het 130 seekoeie vasgeval. Die omgewingsministerie het spanne ontplooi en boor dringend vir water om die diere by te staan. Vyf het volgens Romeo Muyunda reeds gevrek, moontlik van honger. Muyunda waarsku gemeenskappe om uiters versigtig te wees by alle waterpunte omdat mens-dier-konflik nou toeneem.

Weens die voortslepende droogte is meer as 130 seekoeie by Munambezadam, naby die Lyambezi-meer in die Zambezi-streek, gestrand. Munambeza is die derde dam aan die Choberivier, wat aan Botswana grens, waar seekoeie vasgeval het. Om die seekoeie aan die lewe te hou tot die volgende reënseisoen, het die lynministerie boorgate begin boor. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met omgewingswoordvoerder Romeo Muyunda, gepraat.

In Episode 156, we've teamed up with one of our favourite indie publishers, House of Anansi Press, to read the short story collection Who Will Bury You? Written by Zimbabwean author Chido Muchemwa, the stories take place across generations, in Toronto and Zimbabwe, and grapple with loss, family, and the meaning of home.Show NotesWe love working with House of Anansi! This is our seventh episode featuring their books, and we hope to read even more in future episodes. Check out the list of previous HOA books below.One of the best parts of reading is learning new things and we both realized how little we know about Zimbabwean history and culture. Now we want to know all about the construction of the Kariba Dam, the story of the Zambezi river god Nyami Nyami, and more about the mermaids.When we talked about flash fiction, Gen talked about The Forever Workshop, available through Substack and run by the cool people at Chill Subs/Write or Die.

Die NamPol-bevelvoerder in die Zambezi-streek, kommissaris Andreas Shilelo, sê voorlopige ondersoeke dui aan dat die vier kinders wat Maandag in 'n ou, ongebruikte vrieskas in die Cowboy-nedersetting vasgekeer was, moontlik drie uur lank binne was voordat twee dood ontdek is. Die ander twee is na die Katima Mulilo-staatshospitaal gehaas, waar hulle met hul aankoms dood verklaar is. Volgens Shilelo is die kinders, wat nie verwant was nie, deur 'n opsigter gevind wat na hulle begin soek het nadat hulle vir 'n ruk lank nie gesien is nie. Shilelo het namens NamPol medelye met die families uitgespreek. Hy maan inwoners om waaksaam te wees oor items wat kinders se veiligheid in gevaar kan stel.

Die Motorvoertuig Ongelukkefonds neem sy uitreikingsprogram MVA On Wheels na die Zambezi-streek. Die program sal vanaf vandag tot Saterdag gemeenskappe besoek om te help met eise en navrae daaroor te hanteer. Skole sal ook besoek word om kinders van padveiligheid te leer. Kosmos 94. 1 Nuus het gesels met John Haufiku, die fonds se hoof van korporatiewe sake, wat kortliks hoofdoel van die bewusmaking uiteensit.

In 1999 is meer as 100 mense gearresteer en aangehou na 'n kort opstand deur die Caprivi-bevrydingsleër teen die Namibiese regering vir die onafhanklikheid van die destydse Caprivi-strook. Dit is 25 jaar later en einde Julie is slegs sewe skuldig bevind aan hoogverraad. Die president van die Republikeinse Party, Henk Mudge, het 'n perskonferensie oor die kwessie gehou en sê vele mense word steeds deur die saak geraak. Hy het 'n vinger gewys na die regerende Swapo-party omdat daar nie na inwoners van die Zambezi-streek uitgereik is nie.

Onwettige visvang in die noordoostelike riviere van die Zambezi- en Okavango-streke is 'n groot uitdaging. Die Namibiese polisie in die Zambezi-streek het verskeie waarskuwings uitgereik teen onwettige visvang deur beide buitelanders en Namibiërs. Die vissermanne vang nou snags met nette vis en die regering het nie die vermoë om die misdaad te bekamp nie. Vissermanne is ook gewapen en word al hoe gevaarliker. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Mark Paxton van Shamvura-kamp by die Okavangorivier, wat sê die situasie het nie verander nie en nette is oral beskikbaar.

On this episode, we're diving into the extraordinary Great Spine of Africa project, a daring set of expeditions under The Wilderness Project, founded by Dr. Steve Boyes. Our special guest is Johan van der Westhuizen, a private pilot, expedition manager, and researcher who takes us behind the scenes of life on expedition. From dodging hippos to navigating some of Africa's most remote landscapes, and even the occasional (and temporary!) loss of team members. The Great Spine of Africa project is focused on protecting, researching, and exploring over 1.2 million square kilometres of African wilderness, with a particular emphasis on documenting the sources and watersheds of Africa's mightiest river basins, including the Zambezi, Congo, and Okavango. Johan will share his incredible experiences working with the team in these remote and pristine environments.To learn more about their work and support The Wilderness Project, visit www.thewildernessproject.org.

Die ontdekking van 'n hoë konsentrasie kritieke minerale in die Zambezi-streek veroorsaak groot opgewondenheid. Dit sluit in aluminium, silikon, mangaan, yster en koper, volgens die inligting-ministerie se Zambezi-kantoor. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die sakeman Leake Hangala gesels, wat sê die minerale moet in die land verwerk word.

Die goewerneur van die Zambezi-streek, Lawrence Sampofu, het die ontdekking van 'n hoë konsentrasie kritieke minerale aangekondig in gebiede van Kamenga tot Batubaja. Die ontdekking was gemaak deur Zita Dias Diamond Resources, nadat hulle eksplorasiewerk in die streek gedoen het. Volgens die inligting-ministerie se Zambezi-kantoor sluit die minerale in aluminium, silikon, fosfor, swael, chloried, kalium, kalsium, mangaan, yster, kobalt, koper en tantaal. Sampofu het tydens die aankondiging 'n beroep op die streek se inwoners gedoen om ontwikkeling te omhels, nadat sommige die maatskappy se eksplorasiewerk probeer keer het.

Ray Sasman, 'n 52-jarige oudonderwyseres, het op 1 Mei 'n staptog, Walk with Me, begin om fondse in te samel vir 'n beoogde jeugsentrum in Walvisbaai. Sy wil ook mense bewus maak van die behoefte aan jeugbemagtiging. Sasman het vanaf die Noordoewer-grenspos vertrek op 'n 2 200km-staptog na die Kazangula-grenspos in die Zambezi-streek. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Sasman gesels wat vandag Katima Mulilo gaan instap.

Die land se goewerneurs lewer tans hulle streeksredes en vandag was die beurt van die Zambezi se Lawrence Sampofu. Hy sê daar is uitdagings met asielsoekers maar, die poreuse grens is die grootste kopseer. Hy verduidelik.

Die staande komitee op natuurlike hulpbronne het vanoggend sy verslag rakende groenskemas in die Zambezi- en twee Kavango-streke in die nasionale vergadering voorgelê. Dit kom na ‘n oorsigbesoek twee jaar gelede. Daar is bevind dat die grond van die skemas steeds onder die beheer van die tradisionele owerhede is en nie in privaatbesit nie. Daar is ook waterskaarstes wat ervaar word. Die komitee se voorsitter Tjekero Tweya.

Wiaan van der Linde, eienaar van Wintershoek Safaris in Suid-Afrika, het onlangs die potensiële voordele van die teel van siektevrye buffels vir Namibië se boerdery-, wild- en toerismesektore uitgelig. Namibië se wildplase word weens siektebekommernisse verbied om buffels aan te hou. Trofeejag van buffels is ook beperk tot die Zambezi-streek. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die omgewingministerie se woordvoerder, Jona Musheko, gesels oor die probleem met buffels.

Within 30 years in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Europe went from controlling 20% of Africa to 90%. It was called "the Scramble for Africa". Find out why Europeans colonized the Americas easily through unintentional germ warfare, but Africa was "the White Man's Grave". Discover how Europe finally conquered Africa; the horrors of the Congo; and the residual problems in Africa which exist today. 

Voedselonsekerheid en wanvoeding is tans 'n groot probleem in Namibië. Volgens plaaslike berigte is daar sedert die begin van die jaar 137 kinders in die Zambezi-streek se hospitale daarvoor opgeneem met 17 wat dood is. Die goewerneur van die Omaheke-streek, Pijoo Nganate, sê daar was tot Junie vanjaar 300 gevalle van wanvoeding in sy streek aangemeld met 26 mense wat reeds dood is. Mense vra hoekom, in die lig van die voedselsekerheidskrisis, die meeste vrugte en groente nie belastingvry is nie, soos in Suid-Afrika. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het aan dr. Omu Kakujaha-Matundu van die departement ekonomie aan Unam gevra of dit haalbaar is en of Namibië dit kan bekostig.

It's our 400th episode! I had big plans for this episode, but circumstances have forced my plans to change; hopefully, we will be on track to celebrate this worthy milestone in a big way with a listener-focused livestream episode very soon. I can't think of a better substitute than my friend, Dr. Eileen Forrestal. She joins us to talk about the concept of courage–and who doesn't need a healthy dose of courage in today's world? Join us!Dr. Eileen Forrestal is a retired consultant anesthetist and the co-founder of Get Up and Go Publications Ltd, publisher of the award-winning inspirational Get Up and Go Diaries, Journals, and Events. Having spent 20 years “putting people to sleep,” Eileen is now at work “waking people up.” She is continually inspired to make a greater impact on personal health and well-being with words rather than drugs and one pair of hands. In her memoir, The Courage to Shine: Find Your Voice and Discover the Healing Power of Your Words, Eileen shares her personal story of “waking up” to encourage others to explore their authentic self-expression and engage in new conversations for wellbeing and vitality. Plagued by a childhood stammer and a reluctance to speak publicly for many years, Eileen is now developing herself as a personal coach, entrepreneur mentor, and speaker to encourage others to overcome their fears and shine their light in the world. With a Foreword and enthusiastic endorsement by Jack Canfield, Eileen's memoir touches on her challenging relationship with her mother, the source of her “yes” in life. Her upcoming book is Embrace the Edge: Life is Bigger When You Say Yes. An avid traveler with an adventurous spirit, Eileen's thrill-seeking highlights include summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Everest base camp, cycling in Cambodia, rafting the Zambezi, riding an ostrich, and hypnotizing a chicken!She is a recently accredited Thought Leader with the All-Ireland Business Foundation, and she liberally shares her thoughts through Sparkles of Wisdom and Pocket Pearls on social media platforms, blogs, and articles. She lives in the beautiful Northwest of Ireland with her beloved 10-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Kellie.
