The Mandela Institute for Development Studies (MINDS) recently concluded its 2026 Leadership Development Program (LDP) in Swakopmund, equipping 24 scholars and alumni from nine African nations with practical skills to address the continent’s most pressing challenges. Held from 17 to 20 August, the four-day intensive workshop brought together dynamic young leaders for practical leadership training, cross-border peer exchange, and cultural immersion along Namibia’s central coast. Unlike traditional academic seminars, the program focused on action-oriented leadership. Participants engaged in practical exercises designed to enhance self-awareness, analyze complex political and social systems, navigate competing stakeholder interests, and build collaborative solutions tailored to African contexts. Speaking on the impact of the initiative, Dr Nkosana Moyo, Founder and CEO of MINDS, emphasized that academic access alone is not enough to drive continental growth. “A scholarship can open the door to a university, but Africa also needs graduates who can lead across differences and turn...

  …as association finally elects new committee Leemisa Thuseho THE Lesotho Taekwondo Association (LTA) has finally elected a new executive committee after years of struggling to hold its elective annual general meeting. The association held its elections over the weekend, with retired army Brigadier General Naha Kolisang being elected president unopposed. He succeeds former president, Moorosana Nkesi, whose term ended in 2020. He had been elected in 2017. Since then, the association has struggled to elect a new committee. The first setback came with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, among other restrictions, halted sporting activities and prevented large gatherings. After the pandemic subsided, attempts to hold elections were again dogged by controversy, including disputes over the good standing and eligibility of some clubs to participate in elections. The disagreements eventually spilled into the courts, further delaying the process. With no immediate solution in sight, the Lesotho Sports and Recreation Commission (LSRC) proposed the establishment...

África Estrada, conocida en Guinea Ecuatorial como África Ela Nsuga, es la hija adoptiva de Marcelino Oyono Ntutumu, alias Abigui, una de las figuras más influyentes del poder político en Malabo. Sin embargo, su trayectoria empresarial se ha consolidado lejos de su país natal: primero en Canadá y Estados Unidos, y posteriormente en España, donde encabezó una estructura inmobiliaria que dejó a decenas de inversores atrapados tras la pérdida de sus ahorros. El pasado 30 de julio de 2026, Diario Rombe publicó la primera entrega de esta investigación bajo el título «La caída de Wanderlust Realty: la red empresarial de África Ela Nsuga y Johnny Estrada tras las denuncias de decenas de inversores españoles». Aquel reportaje reconstruyó el entramado mercantil levantado por Estrada y su marido, Johnny Alexander Estrada, en territorio español, así como la ola de reclamaciones derivadas de sus operaciones. Pero la historia no concluyó con el colapso...

​In a historic vote on Friday, September 4, 2026, the United Nations General Assembly passed the Togo-led “Correct the Map” resolution, encouraging the world to move away from the centuries-old Mercator projection. ​For 500 years, traditional Mercator maps have severely distorted global geography—making regions near the poles (like Greenland and Europe) appear massive while shrinking equatorial regions, making Africa look much smaller than it actually is. In reality, Africa is 14 times larger than Greenland! ​The UN now recommends adopting equal-area representations, such as the Equal Earth projection, to reflect the true proportions of all continents accurately. While the resolution is non-binding, it marks a major milestone toward decolonizing global education and cartography. Source link

3 Depuis le 1er juillet 2026, une nouvelle taxe sur les petits colis venus de pays tiers a fait chuter de façon spectaculaire les importations en e-commerce transfrontalier vers l’Union européenne. Les douanes françaises ont confirmé fin août une baisse de 30 à 40 % des envois, avec des écarts très marqués selon les plateformes asiatiques concernées, au premier rang desquelles Shein, Temu et AliExpress. Une réforme douanière entrée en vigueur au 1er juillet 2026 Jusqu’à cet été, tout colis d’une valeur inférieure à 150 euros échappait aux droits de douane à son entrée dans l’UE, à condition de rester soumis à la TVA. Ce seuil, en place depuis des années, est désormais supprimé. À la place, un droit forfaitaire de 3 euros par article s’applique à chaque produit distinct contenu dans un colis, identifié selon son code de nomenclature douanière. Un carton regroupant trois références différentes se voit donc...

The Nigeria Democratic Congress has dismissed reports claiming that it lacks governorship candidates in 12 states ahead of the 2027 general elections, describing the allegation as false and politically motivated. The party, in a statement issued on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, insisted that it had nominated candidates for all 28 states where governorship elections are expected to be held in 2027. Director said the reports questioning its presence in some states were aimed at undermining what it described as its growing national momentum. He said, “The NDC has been shocked to discover a false story and deliberate propaganda circulating in sections of the media and on social media claiming that the NDC does not have governorship candidates in 12 states ahead of the 2027 general elections. “We state categorically that this claim is false, malicious, a lie from the pit of hell, and intended to mislead...
