Let’s Talk Afrika.

Africa’s Call for Self-Sufficiency Amid USAID Cuts
The moment I read about Trump’s decision to suspend USAID funding for 90 days, my mind ran to the thousands-if not millions-of Africans whose livelihoods depend upon these programs.

Destroy Africa and Rebuild it from the Ground Up!
Okay. Let me land the plane. I know obviously that there will never be such a thing as to destroy Africa, lest to ‘rebuild it entirely’. I just thought I would borrow a leaf from Jesus, when he boldly proposed to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days. Can you imagine the disbelief…

The Africa Rush!!
The gold Rush, the scramble and partition of Africa and the Dutch tulip mania! What do these historical periods have in common? A very valuable commodity or asset at the epicentre of the economy in a region, and a scramble for it! Gold: inarguably the most valuable item on planet Earth since biblical times. Sought…
