She will now have put up to the fact that when she goes to contest at the Miss World, she will be disqualified because the event at which she won as Miss Zimbabwe, had a politician invading the stage and throwing around wards of cash.

Sad to say that my time in 🇿🇼 is coming to an end. 😢

So many amazing memories over 8 years , spanning 4 decades, as a teacher, an NGO worker, a tourist and recently as British Ambassador.

Allow me to use each of my last days here to reflect and say thank you….

#ThankYouZW

It’s easy to take for granted that people are remarkable when they are familiar to you. The first time I realized my Father was brilliant was some time in university. He told me a story about how he taught himself to write code when he was an economics lecturer—so he could automate his marking and grading of student work. That was in the 80s. Automating the grading of students the likes of Mukwandi Chibesakunda, Savior Chibiya and others.

His idea of fun is reading Stephen Hawking and working through the math. He wanted to be a physicist or architect, ended up being an Economist. Writes his Journals in German. Pretty sure he could have been whatever he wanted and have done well at it. Chooses the thankless work of Public Service because he actually believes in the possibility of social flourishing.

Keep doing what you love, old boy.

When Caledonia Mining went to Wall Street to raise US$100 million for its Bilboes gold project in Zimbabwe, orders came in at over US$600 million within three days.

As highlighted in the first edition of the Finance Africa Quarterly, this oversubscription tells us something vital: international capital is increasingly willing to separate asset-level fundamentals from sovereign-level risk - provided the governance, structure, and revenue currency are right. For advisory firms operating across African jurisdictions, this is a critical insight. Structure often matters more than geography.

At Bard Santner, helping clients navigate exactly that distinction is core to what we do. Our latest research from the Bard Global Finance Institute (BGFI) covers these developments across 15+ economies.

Senegal is becoming a perfect case study of what happens when revolutionary politics finally meets the realities of governing.

It’s easy to unite people against a system.
It’s much harder to run the economy, negotiate debt, satisfy voters and still maintain the purity of the movement.

A lot of liberation-style movements in Africa struggle once they transition from opposition to government because charisma and slogans eventually collide with budgets, IMF pressure and state institutions.

That’s exactly what we’re watching in Senegal right now.

PRESIDENT NETUMBO NANDI-NDAITWAH NAMED TO TIME’S ANNUAL TIME100 LIST OF THE WORLD’S MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE

Windhoek, Namibia – 16 April 2026 — TIME has named President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah to the 2026 TIME100, its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

The full list and accompanying tributes appear in the April 27, 2026 issue of @TIME, available on newsstands from Friday, April 17, and online at https://t.co/KRJtx92kx7.

The TIME100 list recognises the impact, innovation, and achievement of the world’s most influential individuals, celebrating leaders whose contributions continue to shape the global agenda.

In her tribute, Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of UNAIDS, reflects on President Nandi-Ndaitwah’s lifelong journey of service, noting that her story embodies a powerful and often overlooked truth: African women were central to the struggle against colonial rule. As a young woman, she joined Namibia’s liberation movement in exile, contributing to the country’s independence and helping shape a vision of a democratic nation grounded in dignity, equality, and shared prosperity.

The tribute further highlights her transition from liberation fighter to national leader, serving in senior roles, including as Foreign Minister, culminating in her historic election as Namibia’s first female President. Today, she continues to break barriers, leading an inclusive government and inspiring women across Africa and the world.

On the global stage, President Nandi-Ndaitwah is recognised as a consistent and respected voice from the Global South, advancing equity and justice through international platforms and agreements, including the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Her leadership continues to contribute to shaping a more just, safe, and equitable world.

President Nandi-Ndaitwah’s inclusion reflects her steadfast leadership and commitment to advancing Namibia’s development priorities, strengthening democratic governance, and championing inclusive economic growth. It also underscores Namibia’s growing voice on the international stage, particularly in promoting peace, stability, and equitable progress.

This recognition marks a significant moment for Namibia, reaffirming the country’s role in global discourse and its continued contribution to addressing shared challenges through principled and visionary leadership.
