From Zambia, I have been following the Phala Phala Court Proceedings in South Africa. SA is by far the most stable political democracy in SADC.

They took the President to court and he lost. Elsewhere in Africa, a President would never be taken to court in the first place !!!

We successfully registered over 1600 small businesses and informal traders during a two-day outreach programme held in Olievenhoutbosch. This initiative forms of our efforts to formalise the informal trading sector across the city. The next step is the allocation of permits and trading stands in designated areas that we have identified in Olievenhoutbosch. We thank the business owners that answered our call and have made an initiative to register their businesses. @CityTshwane

Your parents have been married for close to 30 years. You don’t see them as role models for marriage, but two social media couples who got married and divorced in less than two years are making you scared to get married. You see that you don’t have sense.

At the stroke of midnight, 24 tonnes of South African apples became the first batch of imports to enter China under a landmark initiative, as China expanded zero-tariff treatment to all 53 African nations with which it maintains diplomatic relations. This policy took effect from May 1.

I remember working for Nissan Rosslyn in 2010 , I’d wake up at 2am and walk to the Saulsville Station to catch the first train to Rosslyn which was at 3:30am ,we would get to Rosslyn station at about 5:00am. I’d walk another 45min to get to the Plant so that I start my 6am shift.

🇳🇦 BREAKING: Namibia just paid off its entire IMF debt. Zero balance. $23.8 million repaid. No new loans. No new conditions. Freedom.

While other nations drown in IMF austerity, Namibia walked out. No more structural adjustment. No more neoliberal lectures. No more foreign control over economic policy.

This is what sovereignty looks like. Paying your debts. Refusing new ones. Charting your own path.

Namibia is free. Other African nations should take notes.

Question for the timeline: Which African country should be next to tell the IMF goodbye?

Guess who is opposing Dangote’s proposal to build a 1.2M barrels a day refinery in east Africa (Tanzania, Kenya and Congo)

World Bank and IMF. : )))

Their argument? it would give monopoly to one company over energy.

1) All the while, French refineries are in almost every oil producing countries in Africa.
2) No African countries could get a loan to build a refinery larger than 400,000 barrels per day (one of the most profitable businesses ever). So the majority are small and struggle for profitability.
3) Nigeria oil had to be exported to Europe, refined and in many cases sold back to Nigeria and ECOWAS countries, under companies like shell and total.
4) it took until a billionaire financed the refinery in Nigeria himself to change part of that production and supply pipeline. And today, after the Hormuz blockade, EU countries are now buying oil from Dangote.

I flew with @KenyaAirways last week, and it was the WORST EXPERIENCE ever.

1. The plane was parked a gate away from where passengers were called to board. A gate away. So why use that gate then? Heaven alone knows.

And get this - we had to walk on the skybridge, outside the airport building, down the flight of stairs into the tarmac and make our trek to the aeroplane to board the plane… OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT BUILDING, AND it was raining.

Yes, raining!

So all the passengers had to WALK IN THE RAIN to board the plane.

And we then had to wait outside for the passengers ahead of us to board. So, the rest of us WAITED IN THE RAIN.

We eventually boarded, drenched!

Absolutely crazy.

2. The staff at the boarding gate were chewing gum, talking amongst themselves, and treating passengers as if they were doing us a favour.

Gum.
Loud laughing.
Rolling eyes and demanding clients.
Kuningi nje.

3. My bag was badly damaged — really badly. While the bag is expensive (no need to get into the cost or the brand), they say I should have the bag delivered to them so they can take it to “their assessor” to decide whether to replace or repair it.

By the way, the bag is so badly damaged that it can't be fixed.

I fly… A lot.

I have already boarded over 40 flights this year. Last year, I travelled to over 20 countries.
I live in airports & airlines.

I regularly have unpleasant experiences on commercial flights.

I am not a sissy. I don’t complain. You take the good with the bad.

But I can tell you this for free: this KQ experience was horrendous.

It would have been more pleasant to pour Tabasco sauce into my naked eye & then blindly stir into a lunar eclipse.

Anyway, back to your regular scheduled program.
