This is a Sunday at a public beach in Mombasa. Why can't #Malawi have the same? Why should access to our beautiful lakeshore be a privilege for those who can afford expensive resorts? Our lakes belong to everyone and our shores should made public and accessible to all.

Stor, stor fornøjelse på tætteste hold at følge en velsmurt demokratisk maskine. Trods utallige forskelle og endnu flere udfordringer er de fleste sydafrikanere enige om én ting: Landets fremtid skal defineres fra stemmeboksen #Sydafrika

Sydafrikas udenrigsminister lykønsker Demokraterne.

Skal ses i lyset af det betændte diplomatiske forhold landene imellem. Trump har netop udelukket Sydafrika fra AGOA.

Er der ét sted i verden, manden med det røde slips er upopulær, er det i bunden af det afrikanske kontinent

Congratulations to the Democrats for victory in the midterms. The outcomes are a victory for democracy in the US and the world. A victory for accountability, the international rule of law and the UN Charter. A victory that shows how much the American value diversity. A victory for those who believe that relations between countries should be governed by predictability and mutual respect. We will continue working towards common ground.

I dag er valgdag i Sydafrika. Vælgerne peger på deres foretrukne councillor og parti. Herefter stemmer de udpegede om borgmesterposten. Johannesburg, landets største by, får potentielt sin første hvide borgmester siden 1994. Men ikke alle er begejstrede i storbyen #SouthAfrica

.....Mwila had an unmatched football cv, as player and coach. Represented Zambia through a decade and later coached Botswana, Zambia, and the biggest clubs in the country. His name is mainly associated with @PowerDynamosFC

[Buster Emil Kirchner @BusterEmil]

Zambian football has lost of its finest. Fred Mwila is no more. Was fortunate to interview Mwila last year in his house near Chilanga. First ever Zambian to play in English football when he signed for @AstonVilla in 1969. Hope to include anecdotes from Mwila in my coming book.

President Isaias Afwerki blasts AU and OAU as Dysfunctional and Irrelevant

** The African Union does not exist in any meaningful sense, and it will not produce solutions.

** Anyone who expects otherwise is simply ignoring the historical record.

** The OAU was established in the 1960s, after the decolonization process, at a time when aspirations across the continent were very high. People expected a great deal from it, yet it failed to deliver and proved dysfunctional.

** It was later replaced by another continental organization, the African Union. The AU has turned out to be even worse than the OAU.

** No one should wait for solutions from them. Expecting anything useful from these bodies is a complete waste of time.

On the 62nd year of Independence I thought I'd remind everyone about some fun facts about #Zambia and some facts about why it was important to break free of our colonial chains.

- Our Freedom Statue has a name - Zikomo Banda
- One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World is actually called Mosi-oa-tunya (the smoke that thunders) and this is the official name registered at UNESCO
- The 24th of October is the official date for the beginning of the Rainy Season. The date was chosen as it symbolised the washing away of the harsh dry season (colonialism) and the beginning of a new season - fresh and green (independence)
- At Independence Zambia had less than 100 University graduates
- Kalingalinga is chilaplapa for the place where seasonal workers would linger to get a job (ka linger linger) and for those in Kopola land, Chamboli was the mispronounced word for the location where the Boy Scouts of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland held their annual 'Jamboree'.
- Prior to independence Zambians were not allowed into shops or butcheries. We had to shop from a small window and we were not allowed to buy any prime cuts of beef, offals, brisket and oxtail only .... EVEN if we could afford it.
- It is still illegal to splash a pedestrian because colonial motorists used to deliberately splash us with their cars.
- Zambians were forced to have English first names under threat of imprisonment - hence our colourful English names like Landrover, Crankshaft, Pencil and Paper. It was most enforced in Eastern Province and part of 'parole' was planting mango trees, which is why there are millions of mango trees in Eastern Province (we tried to resist)

I could go on but 62 years on we now face an even bigger challenge and that is to lift millions of our citizens out of poverty. We need to put aside petty differences and all pull in the same direction.

Will there be Independence celebrations and a ceremony at Showgrounds mailo? Anyone with a program of events? #Zambia

Touring rural Malawi on a Sunday afternoon bring us through multiple villages paralysed by the same social event. Green (or brownish) grass, a ball, some goal sticks, all surrounded by hundreds of spectators on the sidelines. Football is such a force

There’s no fuel in Lilongwe. Or, well, not enough. Look at this queue outside a Puma filling station. Cars queuing for hours and hours #Malawi
