Gaborone meet wins World Athletics’ approval After last year’s debacle, the FNB Botswana Golden Grand Prix has got its groove back, winning a ‘fourmidable’ ranking from World Athletics. The latest ratings from the sport’s governing body scored the Gaborone event as the 4 th best out of 385 continental tour meets around the world. Only the Tom Jones Memorial (a Challenger event in America), Kenya’s Kep Keino Classic (a Gold meet) and the MT.SAC Relays in California (a Bronze event) scored higher than the Grand Prix’s 83990. Despite limited finances, the Glody Dube owned extravaganza was able to attract big names to this year’s edition thanks largely to a P6 million sponsorship from First National Bank. The appearance of stars such as: Gabby Thomas, Andre de Grasse, Ferdinand Omanyala, Jerome Blake and Dalilah Muhammad meant there was much public interest. This showed in the crowd, with thousands turning up to...

O líder da UNITA disse hoje que vai levar o pacto de estabilidade que hoje apresentou ao Presidente angolano à Assembleia Nacional, depois de João Lourenço ter rejeitado a iniciativa, lamentando a falta de consensos. Adalberto Costa Júnior falava à imprensa após ser recebido hoje, no Palácio Presidencial, por João Lourenço, a quem apresentou o pacto de estabilidade do partido.

Para o dirigente, a resposta visou endereçar o debate para a Assembleia Nacional, “que deve ser o espaço da concertação das iniciativas legislativas” e “um espaço de debate plural”. Sobre a audiência, de iniciativa presidencial, considerou...

The first shipments of avocados from Kenya arrived in China under Beijing’s new zero-tariff rule early this month. A clear sign, analysts say, that the deal is starting to have real effects. The policy, which came into effect on May 1, gives Africa’s biggest economies tariff-free access to China’s market for the next two years.  “China introducing the zero tariff is very very encouraging,” Olive Gichuri, a Kenyan coffee farmer, told DW. “It means better earnings for the farmers. When our coffee becomes very competitive, it means more demand and also more market for farmers.” “They [farmers] are not only limited to selling their products in the local [Kenyan] market,” Gichuri said, adding that the zero tariff had opened the market in China. Lauren Johnston, a senior research fellow and international economist specializing in China, Africa and geoeconomics at the AustChina Institute in Melbourne, told DW that the policy “is actually a gift mainly to Africa’s stronger economies that are...
