Jacinta MaNgobese Zuma was simply a local radio DJ in KZN, quietly going about her work and connecting with her listeners through the airwaves.
Then, they chose to have her fired from that small radio station.
Today, she is far more famous and influential than the station itself, and even its founder.
She is now recognised across the entire African continent and in parts of the world, including America and the UK
Ghana and Caribbean states are pushing reparations: apologies, debt relief and compensation for slavery. This is not begging. Europe built wealth from Black bodies, African land and colonial theft. The debt is still alive.
There's the insane belief you'll have in yourself, that as you are going through your hard times - you'd be taking pictures and videos.
Because e too sure for you say, one day everything go blend.
2 prominent African public officials facing corruption probes in their home countries took refuge in the UK and US.
They have now been given US and UK state protection against prosecution for stealing African state resources.
Once again, whenever you wake up...
🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Jay-Z and Beyoncé just teamed up to disprove the rumors that Jay-Z has been wearing a lace front by promoting Beyoncé’s Cecred hair product brand in a 7 minute video detailing the alleged process for Jay-Z’s hair.
Walk through Lisbon, Barcelona, Rome or any great Mediterranean city and the roofs tell you something immediately. They are terracotta. They are clay. And most of them have been sitting there for over a hundred years without being replaced.
Walk through most of our cities and the roofs tell a different story. Aluminum sheets weighted down with stones so the wind does not carry them away. Black roofing absorbing every degree of tropical heat. Roofs that leak every rainy season and lift off every harmattan, then get patched, then leak again, then get replaced, then leak again.
When this argument comes up, the response is always the same: clay is too heavy. This from people who spend every dry season watching their aluminum sheets fly off and every wet season putting buckets under the holes. The roof that requires stones to stay on the building is apparently lighter than the one that has been sitting on buildings in southern Europe for a century without moving.
Clay tiles last between 50 and 100 years when properly installed. They are fire resistant, rot resistant and their natural thermal properties keep interiors cooler without electricity in the exact climate we live in. Africa has the clay, the soil and the kiln tradition to produce them locally. What we are missing is the willingness to think past the next rainy season when we build.
The aluminum sheet is not affordable. It is cheap today and expensive for the rest of your life.
1. Yesterday, Australia’s border police reported that a consignment of charcoal from Ghana shipped to Port Botany in two containers contained methamphetamines worth ~$210 million in street value.
2. That’s like a lot of meth, man.
3. On the Aussie side, a British actress and an Adelaide couple have been taken into custody.
4. We are not getting any serious filla from Ghanaian security agencies. In the last two years, we have seen several of such strange criminal consignments popped up with zero updates from the security services.
5. Remember the Sapeiman bust? The one where kilos of gold and cash were found in mysterious boxes? No serious update till now.
6. The Australian meth bust actually happened in April 2026. Ghanaian law enforcement have known since then. Not one word.
7. This bust involving charcoal however opens up an interesting new angle outside the Ghanaian security services.
8. No one can ship or tranship charcoal out of Ghana without a Charcoal Export Permit from the ENERGY COMMISSION. And if the charcoal originates in Ghana, one needs a Charcoal Production License.
9. I once investigated a situation where Ghanaian charcoal producers were blaming Energy Commission for delays in securing permits for export, leading to a collapse in overseas sales.
10. What’s more, the permit process includes the intended shipping line’s details, approved export quantity, and authorised destination.
11. The permit bears the name of the licensee, permit validity period, and the destination. Since quotas are strictly enforced, circumvention is literally criminal.
12. Energy Commission, where is the data?
13. By convention, these details are even supposed to be in the publicly inspectable register.
14. So far, the only data on charcoal exports from the Energy Commission do not include Australia as an end-destination for the 13 primary exporters. Asia tops and then Europe.
15. Commercial databases only shows only $124k in wood exports (of which charcoal is likely a small subset) to Australia.
16. Regarding meth itself, Ghana is a growing node in the production of “precursors,” i.e. raw chemicals that can be turned into meth with ease (with imports supposedly regulated by NACOC), according to GI-TOC, UNODC, and other global intel services. But documented raids in Africa on actual meth factories have mostly been in South Africa and Nigeria.
17. In fact, the June 2022 Daniel Ameko/Ibrahim Fosu case was a Ghana-to-Australia meth bust using Aramex as courier.
18. Then there was a 2025 transhipment case involving Rwandan and Nigerian nodes with Ghana as transit hub.
19. Very little info has been published by the security services about all these episodes. Meanwhile, such developments raise Ghana's risk profile for all Ghanaian travellers and businesses dealing with overseas parties.
20. Will the Energy Commission do better on this one? Will they? We want the data.
