First-time author delves into the past For many, childhood trauma becomes a silent burden carried for life. But for first-time author, Bonang Sheppard Afitlhile, the pain of his past became the foundation of a powerful testimony captured in his debut book, ‘Through the ‘Eye of a Needle’. Born and raised in Phitshane Molopo in Barolong Farms, Afitlhile’s life has been shaped by rejection, emotional struggles and the hurt of growing up in a broken home. Yet instead of allowing hardship to destroy him, he chose to transform his experiences into a message of hope. “My life journey taught me that pain can either destroy a person or build a testimony. I chose to let mine become a testimony,” says Afitlhile, a pastor, educator, counsellor, speaker, musician and now writer. The deeply personal memoir explores his emotional journey through childhood wounds, parental separation and the search for healing through faith. For...

João Lourenço, o general Presidente da Re(i)pública de Angola, Presidente do MPLA, Titular do Poder Executivo e Comandante-em-Chefe das Forças Armadas, às vezes diz, outras manda dizer, que eu (tal como todos os que não pensam como ele) sou “burro, bandido e lúmpen”. Agradeço a qualificação, desde logo porque ela significa que, em matéria de angolanidade, qualquer semelhança entre mim e João Lourenço é mera e ténue coincidência. Por Orlando Castro ssim, (des)governados há 50 anos pelo mesmo partido, o MPLA, quererão os angolanos mais do mesmo?

Le Bureau de l’Assemblée nationale a pris acte, ce vendredi 12 juin 2026, de la démission surprise de deux de ses vice-présidents, Ismaïla Diallo et Cheikh Thioro Mbacké. Si le communiqué officiel évoque une simple réorganisation interne, les coulisses politiques bruissent d’un vaste réajustement stratégique.

L’annonce a pris de court les observateurs : Ismaïla Diallo et Cheikh Thioro Mbacké, respectivement premier et troisième...

  Senegal Leadership Shake-Up Raises Fears of Political Instability  Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has fired Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and dissolved the government after months of tension. Recent months have seen rivalry mount between the two men, who teamed up to defeat the former ruling party’s candidate in presidential elections in March 2024. Sonko had backed Faye in the 2024 election after being barred from running himself due to a defamation conviction. Faye then appointed Sonko as prime minister. The split comes as the country faces mounting economic pressure, with its public debt having reached the equivalent of 132% of its GDP, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
