Our tent at Bomani Tented Camp in Zimbabwe. It is a sturdy steel and canvas structure surrounded by trees. On our first African safari, we weren’t sure what it meant for our lodging to be a ‘tent’. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the ‘tents’ were sturdy permanent structures with all the comforts of home!

“The cost of Trump’s executive disorder is measured in lives” is the headline of this piece in @thecontinent. The team at the Africa-wide weekly newspaper break down how the U.S. government’s freeze on international aid has affected HIV and tuberculosis programs in Uganda, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. “American aid to the global HIV response is channelled through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Pepfar). It is the world’s biggest HIV response fund and it supports – or supported – up to 20-million people,” they write.

A maribou stork photographed in Zimbabwe and the scene desaturated in processing. It is sometimes called the "undertaker bird" due to its shape from behind: cloak-like wings and back, skinny white legs, and sometimes a large white mass of "hair". Not to mention its penchant for carrion.

Portrait of a lion in Zimbabwe Africa. Her intense amber eyes gazes directly, capturing a moment of wild beauty and strength. The fur is detailed and vibrant, highlighting the animal's majestic features against a soft, blurred background.

"NYC-based rapper billy woods is a cornerstone figure in contemporary underground hip-hop. Over the past decade, his albums consistently land on year-end best lists — with his last record, Maps, featured in Pitchfork’s “Best Albums of the 2020s So Far.”

Born in the United States to an exiled Zimbabwean Marxist intellectual and a Jamaican literature professor, billy spent part of his childhood in Zimbabwe in the immediate aftermath of the Rhodesian Bush War, otherwise known as the Zimbabwe War of Independence. Having witnessed the first decade after independence — initially filled with hopes but ultimately culminating in Robert Mugabe’s ruthless dictatorship — he is brutally honest both in his personal reflections and political observations. His music uniquely conveys feelings of insecurity, dissatisfaction, and dissociation in an age where all revolutionary politics seems to have failed.

Armen Aramyan sat down with billy woods following Armand Hammer’s performance at the Le Guess Who? festival in Utrecht."

As he is someone who was brought up in #southafrica it seems surprising that #elonmusk was not aware of the existence of a substantial area in #mozambique that was settled by #nguni speaking migrants/refugees following warfare further south in #kwazulu early in the nineteenth century just as other #nguni speakers - the #ndebele - established themselves in parts of #zimbabwe at the same time. The world has many places with identical names which are a long way apart. Basic geography!
