eWAKA Recognized Among Africa’s Top 50 Mobility Companies by MobilityX Africa

Source: APO

eWAKA (www.eWAKA.tech), the company building the operating platform for commercial electric mobility in Africa, has been recognized among Africa’s Top 50 Mobility Companies in the 2026 MobilityX Africa rankings, placing 13th overall out of more than 250 companies assessed across the continent.

The recognition serves as independent validation for a business that has consistently exhibited disciplined execution, efficient capital allocation, and a unique operating model in one of the world’s fastest-growing mobility markets. Currently, eWAKA operates in Kenya and Rwanda, where it has deployed over 1,200 electric cargo bicycles and motorcycles, facilitating more than 1.1 million deliveries through its integrated mobility platform. These achievements demonstrate the commercial viability of eWAKA’s capital-efficient operating model and establish a solid foundation for future growth.

eWAKA has built an integrated platform that combines managed electric fleets, rider and technician management, affordable battery access, financing, and proprietary software, delivered through a disciplined, capital-efficient approach to growth. The company’s inclusion among Africa’s highest-ranked mobility businesses reinforces the strength of that strategy.

The report also recognized eWAKA as one of the Top 5 mobility companies in Kenya, the highest-ranked woman-led mobility company in East Africa, and one of only a few woman-founded companies included in the continental ranking.

“This recognition is not about a ranking. It is about validating a way of building companies,” said Céleste Tchetgen Vogel, Founder and CEO of eWAKA. “The future of mobility will not be defined by who builds the most vehicles. It will be defined by who builds the operating platforms that make electric mobility commercially sustainable. This recognition validates our conviction that disciplined execution and thoughtful capital allocation can create enduring businesses.”

At eWAKA, the motorcycle is just one component of a connected ecosystem, rather than the final product. By integrating vehicles, software, financing, battery infrastructure, and fleet operations into a single operating platform, the company allows commercial electric mobility to scale.

As eWAKA enters its next phase of growth, the company is focused on expanding its managed fleet platform, strengthening its technology capabilities and deploying growth capital into a business model that has already demonstrated its ability to support continued growth.

Canon returns to Visa pour l’Image to champion outstanding photojournalism

Source: APO – Report:

This September, Canon (https://en.Canon-CNA.com/) will be championing the work of photojournalists for the 37^th consecutive year, as part of its decades-long partnership with Visa pour l’Image.

Canon will honour the craft of documentary storytelling during the festival’s Pro Week (31 August – 5 September 2026), held in Perpignan in the south of France, by awarding two independent project grants, bringing together industry experts to encourage meaningful discussions and providing recourses for the professional community at the Canon Lounge.

Canon to recognise outstanding contributions to photojournalism with two grants

For 26 years, Canon and Visa pour l’Image have awarded at times career-defining project grants to female photojournalists pursuing a long-term documentary project, alongside the opportunity to showcase their work on the acclaimed Visa pour l’Image stage.

This year, the international jury has awarded Finnish photojournalist and Canon Ambassador Meeri Koutaniemi, for her 14-year documentation of female genital mutilation (FGM) and the grassroots activists working to end the practice. Spanning 14 countries, the project explores both the impact of FGM and the efforts of survivors and communities driving change from within, culminating in a return to Kenya to examine how activism and education can transform future generations.

Canon and Visa pour l’Image are also presenting the seventh Canon Video Grant to German-Mexican filmmaker Axel Javier Sulzbacher for Antes de ser Niño – Before Being a Child. Set in Michoacán, Mexico, the film follows a youth militia where children receive military-style training amid cartel violence, exploring the tension between protection, militarisation, and childhood through long-term observational filmmaking.

“Photojournalism has the power to make visible the realities that too often remain unseen. For more than two decades, the Canon Female Photojournalist Grant has supported women whose dedication, courage and empathy bring these stories to light. Meeri Koutaniemi’s work exemplifies the profound role documentary storytellers play in bearing witness, amplifying underrepresented voices, and inspiring meaningful change.

Alongside photography, documentary filmmaking plays a vital role in helping us understand the world and the experiences of people whose stories might otherwise go untold. This year, the Canon Video Grant recognises the remarkable work of Axel Javier Sulzbacher, whose dedicated, long-term approach brings nuance and humanity to a complex and challenging subject,” says Ingrid Masachs, EMEA Marketing Director at Canon.

“We are proud to support photographers and videographers who devote years to telling stories that can shape understanding and help build a more informed and compassionate world.”

Canon to host a Photo Studio

As a special highlight this year, Canon will host a dedicated Photo Studio and offer visitors the opportunity to receive a professional headshot and live demonstration of Canon’s Authenticity Imaging System (https://apo-opa.co/4c8UlT2), which embeds secure, verifiable credentials into images in accordance with the C2PA standard.

Canon support at Visa pour l’Image

The Canon Lounge will showcase the strength of Canon’s complete professional imaging offering, bringing together industry-leading cameras, lenses, professional print technology and software solutions that help protect image authenticity, and the unrivalled expertise of Canon Professional Services (CPS).

Throughout the festival, accredited photographers can benefit from complimentary check-and-clean services, hands-on access to the latest equipment, one-to-one advice from Canon product specialists, and a fine art print of their work. As the only imaging brand offering this full suite of products, software and services support, Canon is uniquely positioned to help professional photographers create, protect, and share their work with confidence.

Afreximbank’s Africa Trade and Distribution Company Limited launches national trade and distribution platforms in Zimbabwe and Malawi

Source: APO – Report:

Africa Trade and Distribution Company Limited (ATDC), a subsidiary of African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) (www.Afreximbank.com), has signed agreements to launch National ATDC Zimbabwe and National ATDC Malawi, advancing its strategy to build country-level trading, logistics and distribution platforms that strengthen African value chains and expand intra-African trade.

National ATDC Zimbabwe has been established as a joint venture between ATDC and CBZ Agro Yield, a member of CBZ Holdings Ltd. while ATDC Malawi will be a joint venture between ATDC and Press Corporation Plc, the apex conglomerate in Malawi.

The agreements were signed in Alamein, Egypt, on the sidelines of Afreximbank Board Meetings. Mr. Nikhil Poonevala, Chief Operating Officer, signed on behalf of ATDC while Messrs. Lawrence Nyazema, Group Chief Executive Officer, CBZ Holdings and Dr. Ronald Mangani, Chief Executive Officer of Press Corporation Plc signed on behalf of their respective institutions.

The launch of the Zimbabwe and Malawi platforms follows the incorporation of ATDC Egypt earlier this year, bringing the total number of National ATDC entities to three. In Zimbabwe, the platform will focus on commodity aggregation, export development, market intelligence, warehousing, logistics, supplier-buyer linkages, trade-related services and support for SMEs and emerging exporters. It is expected to strengthen agricultural and industrial value chains, improve market access for Zimbabwean businesses, attract investment into productive sectors and position Zimbabwe as a competitive export hub.

ATDC Malawi will focus on commodity trading, aggregation, warehousing, exports, strategic imports, structured trade finance, collateral management, cold chain and logistics infrastructure, value addition and trade intelligence. The platform is expected to strengthen Malawi’s commodity and manufacturing value chains, improve logistics efficiency, attract investment into trade-enabling infrastructure and create new market opportunities for local businesses.

The new platforms are designed to resolve persistent market fragmentation affecting small-scale producers, processors and emerging exporters by aggregating supply, improving access to market intelligence, facilitating logistics and warehousing, supporting trade finance and linking African producers to regional and international buyers. ATDC plans to operationalise seven national entities across Africa by the end of 2026, with further rollout planned for 2027.

Afreximbank’s 2026 Africa Trade Report (https://apo-opa.co/4c56dW7) notes that Africa’s merchandise trade expanded by 6.1% to approximately US$1.5 trillion, while intra-African trade grew by 5.5% to about US$213.8 billion. The report also highlights continuing constraints linked to trade finance gaps, infrastructure deficits and limited value addition, underscoring the need for commercially sustainable platforms that can turn regional integration into practical business flows.

The establishment of the two entities forms part of ATDC’s broader mandate to accelerate Africa’s industrialisation, promote local value addition and support implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area through scalable, commercially sustainable national trading platforms.

Commenting on the signing, Mrs. Kanayo Awani, Executive Vice President, Intra-African Trade and Export Development, Afreximbank, said: “The signing of National ATDC Zimbabwe and National ATDC Malawi represents another important milestone in Afreximbank’s strategy to build the trade infrastructure required to drive Africa’s transformation. Through these partnerships, we are creating platforms that connect African producers to markets, facilitate trade financing and promote value addition. By working with strong local partners, we are laying the foundation for increased exports, industrialisation and local economic empowerment across the continent.”

Speaking on ATDC’s pan-African rollout strategy, Mr. Stewart Makura, Chief Executive Officer of ATDC, said: “ATDC is building the operating architecture for African trade. National ATDC Zimbabwe and National ATDC Malawi will allow us to combine local market knowledge with ATDC’s pan-African trading network, helping producers overcome scale, logistics and market-access constraints. These entities will be practical execution platforms for AfCFTA-aligned trade, value addition and regional value-chain development.”

Commenting on the establishment of National ATDC Zimbabwe, Mr. Wellington Mutizwa, General Manager, CBZ Agro Yield, said: “CBZ Agro Yield is pleased to partner with ATDC in establishing a platform that speaks directly to Zimbabwe’s productive potential. This partnership will help aggregate output, support producers with market access and logistics, and create stronger pathways for Zimbabwean products to reach regional and international markets. It is an important step in deepening export-led growth and expanding opportunities for farmers, SMEs and processors.”

Speaking on the launch of National ATDC Malawi, Dr. Ronald Mangani, Group Chief Executive Officer, Press Corporation Plc, said: “Press Corporation Plc’s partnership with ATDC brings together Malawi’s local commercial capacity and ATDC’s continental trading network. Through ATDC Malawi, we will support the aggregation, processing and movement of Malawian products into regional and global markets, while helping to build the infrastructure and services required for more competitive trade.”

In attendance were Prof. Benedict Oramah, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ATDC; Mrs. Kanayo Awani, Executive Vice President, Intra-African Trade and Export Development, Afreximbank & Board Member of ATDC; other Board Members of ATDC; Eng. Hani Sonbol, CEO, Int. Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC), and Director of ATDC; and Senior Executives from Afreximbank, CBZ Agro Yield and Press Corporation Plc.

Language-Responsive Education: British Council’s perspective on inclusive language policy and practice, examining how education systems can respond effectively to diverse linguistic contexts

Source: APO – Report:

Language is central to learning. Across many contexts worldwide, schools and classrooms bring together learners with diverse linguistic backgrounds and identities. This diversity enriches communities but also requires careful decisions about which languages are used in education, and how. In multilingual contexts – including those shaped by colonial histories or high mobility – these decisions are often complex.

Globally most education systems share a common ambition: to equip learners with the communication skills needed to succeed locally and globally. Evidence shows that inclusive language‑in‑education policies help achieve this goal when they are supported with appropriate resources. Our updated, language-responsive, position (Language-responsive education: The British Council’s position on inclusive language policy and practice.) forms part of the British Council’s ongoing effort to understand what inclusive language policy and practice look like in varied contexts, and to learn from systems responding effectively to learners’ linguistic realities.

We do not advise as to when or whether countries should transition to English medium education. Instead, we emphasise that decisions about language in education must be made locally, shaped by contextual, social, economic, political and historical factors. What matters most is how well systems support learning. Learners need strong foundations in both a familiar language and English; teachers require appropriate support and preparation; and schools need suitable teaching and learning materials and assessments. Language is a fundamental consideration across policy, curriculum, assessment, teaching and teacher education.

Language policy and practice: A review of the literature on English in education

Our updated position is informed by a comprehensive global literature review conducted for this project. The review, titled, Language policy and practice: A review of the literature on English in education (https://apo-opa.co/4g2x73p) shows that outcomes depend on teacher proficiency, pedagogical quality, system capacity and alignment with local linguistic and cultural realities. It also highlights the risks of poorly supported transitions to English medium education and the importance of strong English as a subject provision.

These insights reinforce the need for context‑sensitive, evidence‑informed approaches and whole‑system commitment to language‑responsive, inclusive and high‑quality education for all learners.

Did Cape Town’s gunshot detection system work? Why jury is still out on what ShotSpotter achieved

Source: The Conversation – Africa – By Grant Oosterwyk, Senior Lecturer, University of Cape Town

In mid-2026 Cape Town’s city council ended the use of ShotSpotter, a US-developed gunshot detection system and a form of dragnet surveillance. The system was first piloted in 2016. The council said it was reviewing a renewal of the contract. The acoustic system was marketed as being able to detect and alert police officers to gunfire within 60 seconds.

Information systems researcher Grant Oosterwyk and his colleagues unpack a recent paper that raises questions about accountability, commercial interests and community participation in the context of surveillance technology.

What is dragnet surveillance?

People often imagine surveillance as targeted: police following a suspect or gathering evidence in a specific investigation.

Dragnet surveillance works differently. It monitors a whole area rather than a particular person. Examples include city-wide CCTV networks, automatic number-plate recognition, bulk communications monitoring and acoustic sensors that listen for possible gunfire.

Instead of beginning with an individual suspect, dragnet surveillance begins with a location. People are monitored because they live, work, or move through an area covered by the system. Surveillance of an individual normally requires some justification, and often judicial authorisation. Dragnet systems require none: everyone within range is monitored, whether or not they have done anything wrong. And some neighbourhoods live under permanent monitoring; others never do.

South Africa’s constitution protects privacy, and laws regulate the processing of personal information. But the issue is also power: who decides where surveillance is deployed, how it is evaluated and how affected communities can influence its use.

What is ShotSpotter?

ShotSpotter is an acoustic gunshot-detection system developed by the US company SoundThinking. Sensors placed on buildings or poles detect sounds that may be gunfire. When several sensors detect a possible gunshot, the system estimates its location and sends an alert to police.

The technology is used most widely in the United States, where SoundThinking says it operates in more than 180 cities and communities.

Cape Town first piloted ShotSpotter in Hanover Park and Manenberg in 2016. These are settlements on the Cape Flats where families were forcibly resettled under racial laws in the 1960s and 1970s.

The project was stopped in 2021 due to budget constraints, then revived and expanded, also to apartheid-era settlements. This formed part of the city’s broader investment in technologies like CCTV, drones and aerial surveillance.

The investment responds to a severe problem. Cape Town has among the highest murder rates in South Africa. Cape Flats communities accounted for roughly three-quarters of murders recorded in the Cape Town policing district in the first nine months of 2025. Gang conflict drives much of it. Of 242 gang-related murders recorded nationally in one quarter of 2025, more than 90% occurred in the Western Cape province. Policing capacity is stretched, so technology that promises to pinpoint gunfire is politically attractive.

City of Cape Town reports suggest that the system was useful. In the 2024/25 financial year, ShotSpotter logged 3,893 alerts and 9,223 rounds fired, about 30% lower than the year before. Between April and June 2025, more than half of all firearms recovered by city enforcement agencies were in areas covered by ShotSpotter.

But there has not yet been an independent public audit of the system’s accuracy, false alerts, response times, or effects on policing outcomes.

The public doesn’t know whether it reduced gun violence.

Why is it controversial in Cape Town?

At first glance, the case for ShotSpotter is straightforward: faster gunfire detection could help police respond more quickly, and might save lives. The controversy is not about whether detection can ever be useful, but about evidence, placement, and how violence is framed.

First, the evidence is contested. In the US, ShotSpotter has faced scrutiny from public oversight bodies independent of the police. A court found that fewer than one in ten alerts produced evidence of a gun-related crime; Chicago cancelled its contract in 2024.

Our recent study argues that Cape Town imported not only the technology but also the language promoting it, without independent scrutiny. In the US, that scrutiny came from institutions independent of both police and vendor: inspectors general, an elected comptroller, and courts.

Cape Town has no standing equivalent for policing technology. The city assessed its own programme largely using data generated by the supplier. An independent evaluation could have come from the auditor-general of South Africa, which audits municipal performance; from council oversight committees commissioning external review; or from researchers granted access to the raw alert data. None was published.

Second, placement. The system is concentrated in poor, working-class areas shaped by apartheid spatial planning. Are these communities being better protected, or simply more closely monitored, with little say in how the technology is governed?

Third, our research found a gap between official and community framing. Officials and vendors speak of precision, rapid response and smart policing; residents speak of fear, trauma, unemployment and mistrust of police.

There is also opportunity cost. Money spent on surveillance is money not spent on the conditions that drive violence. The central question is who decides that surveillance comes first.

What needs to happen?

First, Cape Town needs independent audits. Claims about accuracy and effectiveness should be tested by bodies with no financial or political stake in the system.

Second, scrutiny should happen before and during deployment, not only after controversy emerges. A review should ask whose definition of safety a technology encodes, which institutions it assumes exist and whose knowledge it treats as authoritative.

Third, affected communities should have a stronger voice. Residents and community organisations should help define what safety means, how impact is measured and what safeguards are needed.

Finally, detection is not prevention. Sensors may identify where shots were fired, but they cannot explain why violence persists. Lasting improvements in public safety require investment in the social conditions that shape violence, including unemployment, trauma, weak social infrastructure, illicit firearms and strained trust between residents and police.

The central question is whether a surveillance system strengthens public accountability, community safety and democratic trust.

Alcohol’s hidden calories: product labels could help fight obesity in South Africa

Source: The Conversation – Africa – By Siphiwe Dlamini, Lecturer, Department of Physiology, University of the Witwatersrand

South Africa is grappling with an obesity crisis. Nearly half of adults are overweight or obese. Public discussion often focuses on ultra-processed foods and sugary drinks as reasons for weight gain. But there’s another source of calories that’s often overlooked: alcoholic drinks.

Alcohol contains nearly twice as much energy per gram as carbohydrates or protein. Many alcoholic beverages also contain leftover sugars and other carbohydrates that were not fully converted into alcohol during fermentation. These contribute extra calories on top of those supplied by the alcohol itself. In Australia, for example, a 330ml bottle of cider was shown to contain as much as 724kJ of energy. This is more than twice the energy content of the average sugar-sweetened soft drink in South Africa. Drinking may also increase appetite and encourage the consumption of high-calorie foods.

Access to clear and accurate nutritional information helps consumers make informed choices about their diets. This is key, whether they’re managing their weight, reducing sugar intake or living with conditions like diabetes. Nutrition labels are one way to inform those choices.

Most packaged foods are required to have detailed nutrition labels. But alcohol is in a unique regulatory position in South Africa – the rules that apply are mostly under the Liquor Products Act. Manufacturers generally have to disclose their alcohol by volume (ABV) or the percentage of alcohol in the beverage. Information such as calorie content, sugar levels, carbohydrates or ingredients is often not disclosed.

My colleagues and I are researchers who study the interactions between nutrition policy, food environments and chronic disease risk in South Africa. We recognise the importance of nutritional labelling. We recently analysed the nutrition content information provided online for more than 3,500 alcoholic beverages sold by major South African retailers. These included beers, wines, spirits and ready-to-drink beverages. We found a wide information gap.

Most products disclosed alcohol by volume. Information on calories, sugars, carbohydrates and ingredients was rarely available. Without this information, it becomes far more difficult to understand how specific products contribute to overall dietary intake.

What we found: the transparency gap

Only about one in three products disclosed sugar content. Information on energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibre and sodium was available for fewer than 3% of products. Ingredient lists were disclosed for only a small minority.

In practice, this means that consumers shopping online can usually see how much alcohol a beverage contains. But other nutritional information or ingredients are seldom available. Manufacturers are not legally required to put this information on alcohol labels. The situation is unlikely to be much different for consumers shopping in stores.

Levels of disclosure also varied across beverage categories.

Beers and wines generally provided more information than other products. Spirits and ready-to-drink beverages were among the least transparent. This is despite some of these products containing substantial amounts of sugar and other energy-contributing ingredients.

But disclosure remained limited overall. The typical alcoholic beverage disclosed only a single piece of nutritional information: its alcohol content.

International moves towards transparency

South Africa is not alone in grappling with the question of how much nutritional information should be provided for alcoholic drinks.

A growing number of countries are moving towards greater transparency. The approaches differ between countries. But they recognise that alcohol is not only a psychoactive substance. It’s also a contributor to dietary energy intake and noncommunicable diseases.

The European Union introduced reforms in 2023 that require wines to provide ingredient lists and nutritional information. These can either be on the product itself or through electronic tools such as QR codes.

Australia and New Zealand have approved mandatory energy labelling for alcoholic drinks. Ireland is introducing comprehensive alcohol labelling requirements, including health warnings and nutritional information. Chile has similarly extended its front-of-package warning system to alcoholic beverages.

These developments show that improved transparency is feasible and is being seen as an important part of public health policy. These policies all aim to give consumers information to help them understand the nutritional content and potential health implications of alcoholic beverages.

Improving nutritional transparency for alcohol

South Africa has an opportunity to build on emerging international practice. It also has the chance to close a gap in the rules that leaves consumers in the dark. A full nutrition information panel may not be necessary for every product.

But sharing information about nutrition has to be done carefully.

Labels that emphasise claims such as “low sugar” or “low carbohydrate” may lead consumers to perceive certain products as healthy when they aren’t.

Any future labelling requirements should clearly communicate alcohol-related health risks and be aligned with broader public health objectives.

South Africans deserve the same level of transparency for alcoholic beverages that is increasingly expected for other foods and drinks.

The lack of nutritional disclosure also has implications beyond individual consumer choice. Without standardised reporting requirements, researchers and policymakers have limited information about the nutritional content of alcoholic beverages available on the market. This makes it more difficult to monitor population exposure to these nutrients, and challenging to develop evidence-based public health policies.

Kenya’s running stars attract suspicion and awe – our research gives a more human picture

Source: The Conversation – Africa – By Dawson McCall, Assistant Professor, Loyola University New Orleans

In April 2026, Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe became the first person to officially run the marathon in under two hours. This milestone was anxiously awaited by the running world.

The discussions that followed touched on several topics. These ranged from the “secrets” of Kenyan running successes, to the new-fangled “super shoes” Sawe and others wore during the race. From curiosity about his running statistics leading to a spoof app account to suspicions of doping that haunt many Kenyan runners.

In Kenya, Sawe’s family and neighbours noted the pride and joy they felt. Politicians hailed the performance as a symbol of national pride.

For anyone who pays attention to Kenyan distance running, conversations like these are not uncommon. Elite Kenyan athletes regularly record world-beating results. They’re followed by outpourings of pride and an interest in the secrets that underpin such performances.

As scholars who study the history of Kenyan running, we believe such debates fail to take into account many of the valuable experiences that define the lives of Kenyan runners.

They seldom include the ways Kenyan athletes use the sport to pursue social mobility, connect with local communities, and navigate unequal, racialised treatment in the sport.

Exploring these themes helps us better understand how Kenyan athletes experience the full range of what it means to be human. They push us to think critically about both the possibilities and limits of sport as a way to expand human potential and connection.

Social mobility and education

One of the things that gets lost in the focus on elite performance is how, despite serious challenges, Kenyan athletes have used their abilities to create global lives, especially in the pursuit of social mobility.

For example, when Kenyan runners began earning intercollegiate scholarships during the 1970s, they were intent on pursuing higher education for the purposes of employment. They were less interested in achieving elite results or promoting the nation.

Our research bears this out. Tecla Chemabwai, who competed for Kenya at two Olympics during the late 1960s and early 1970s, used her talents to become the first female Kenyan athlete to earn an intercollegiate scholarship. Upon returning to Kenya in 1978, she transformed her degree in physical education into a 30-year teaching and coaching career. Today she runs a school, the Chemabwai-Sang Education Centre, that is partially funded by connections she made in the US.

A second pattern that’s often overlooked is the role of local institutions, especially schools. While most Kenyan athletes recall taking part in a range of games before starting school, runners regularly say school is where they were introduced to organised, competitive running.

Indeed, sports have been central to schooling experiences in Kenya since the colonial era. Following independence in 1963, they’ve been Kenya’s most prominent centres of athletic success. A good example is St. Patrick’s High School in the town of Iten, which has excelled in a range of sports and become one of Kenya’s most important athletics institutions.

The lack of attention paid to these stories is a missed opportunity. They demonstrate the ways Kenyan athletes have looked to both transnational networks and local institutions to build their lives and their sport.

Performance and technology

Another dominant narrative that needs rethinking is the focus on chemical substances and on performance technologies.

Because of the increase in the number of Kenyan athletes found guilty of violating anti-doping protocols, runners like Sawe have to contend with constant suspicion of chemical doping. To counter this, Sawe, his management, and his sponsor spent US$50,000 on voluntary testing ahead of his record-breaking performance.

While athletes performing at elite levels are viewed with both suspicion and admiration, Black and African sporting bodies have been disproportionately treated with suspicion for a long time. This ranges from discriminatory gender verification to accusations of chemical doping, age doping (age fraud), and mechanical doping because of running in super shoes, despite such shoes being worn by runners from other regions.

A history of injustice

These suspicions mirror historical patterns. As in other sports, east African running success has long been explained through racialised notions of innate Black athletic ability, rather than mental skill or social dynamics.

In other instances, begrudging the overwhelming success of Kenyan runners, race directors in the 1990s tried to outright limit Kenyans from competing. More recently, the International Association of Athletics Federations decided to remove races longer than 3,000 metres from the professional athletics circuit. This had an unfairly negative impact on professional east African runners who have dominated those distances.

Kenyan runners continue to compete in an unequal sporting world where their belonging is constantly challenged. It’s in an effort to claim belonging that athletes like Sawe subject their bodies to intensive out-of-competition blood and urine testing. We should not romanticise such efforts as upholding sports ethics. Rather, those of us who write and talk about Kenyan running must critically analyse how such narratives obscure discussions about fairness and belonging.

In fact, given that doping occurs across a range of sports and countries, African sport scholars have cautioned against uncritically embracing the branding of east Africa as a unique hot spot for doping. Such perceptions give a veneer of legitimacy to the racism underpinning detractors of Kenyan running success.

Toward a fuller conversation

Most sports reporting ignores the rich communities Kenyan athletes build and live in, both past and present. Rethinking these conversations helps us understand that African sporting experiences are not just defined by elite achievement, national identity, and an obsession with performance.

Kenyan athletes care about the mechanics of running and they care about the implications their performances hold for their nation and the wider sports world. But their lives are also significantly influenced by the complex social networks and communities to which they belong. They lead lives that touch the full range of human experience.

A deeper exploration of these ideas will generate a discussion of Kenyan running that engages more fully, in both critical and celebratory ways, with the inspiring performances that Kenyan athletes like Sawe continue to produce.

A Africa Trade and Distribution Company Limited, do Afreximbank, lança plataformas nacionais de comércio e distribuição no Zimbabwe e no Malawi

Source: Africa Press Organisation – Portuguese –

A Africa Trade and Distribution Company Limited (ATDC), uma subsidiária do Banco Africano de Exportação e Importação (Afreximbank) (www.Afreximbank.com), assinou acordos para criar a National ATDC Zimbabwe e a National ATDC Malawi, dando continuidade à sua estratégia de construir plataformas de comércio, logística e distribuição a nível nacional que reforcem as cadeias de valor africanas e expandam o comércio intra-africano.

A National ATDC Zimbabwe foi constituída como uma joint venture entre a ATDC e a CBZ Agro Yield, uma empresa do grupo CBZ Holdings Ltd., enquanto a ATDC Malawi será uma joint venture entre a ATDC e a Press Corporation Plc, o principal conglomerado do Malawi.

Os acordos foram assinados em Alamein, Egipto, à margem das reuniões do Conselho de Administração do Afreximbank. O Sr. Nikhil Poonevala, Director de Operações, assinou em nome da ATDC, enquanto o Sr. Lawrence Nyazema, Presidente Executivo do Grupo CBZ Holdings, e o Dr. Ronald Mangani, Presidente Executivo da Press Corporation Plc, assinaram em nome das suas respectivas instituições.

O lançamento das plataformas do Zimbabwe e do Malawi segue-se à constituição da ATDC Egypt no início deste ano, elevando para três o número total de entidades nacionais da ATDC. No Zimbabwe, a plataforma centrar-se-á na agregação de matérias-primas, no desenvolvimento das exportações, informação de mercado, armazenamento, logística, ligações entre fornecedores e compradores, serviços relacionados com o comércio e apoio às PME e aos exportadores emergentes. Prevê-se que reforce as cadeias de valor agrícolas e industriais, melhore o acesso ao mercado para as empresas do Zimbabwe, atraia investimento para os sectores produtivos e posicione o Zimbabwe como um centro de exportação competitivo.

A ATDC Malawi irá centrar-se no comércio de matérias-primas, agregação, armazenamento, exportações, importações estratégicas, financiamento estruturado do comércio, gestão de garantias, cadeia de frio e infra-estruturas logísticas, valor acrescentado e informação comercial. Prevê-se que a plataforma reforce as cadeias de valor das matérias-primas e da indústria transformadora do Malawi, melhore a eficiência logística, atraia investimento para infra-estruturas que facilitem o comércio e crie novas oportunidades de mercado para as empresas locais.

As novas plataformas foram concebidas para resolver a fragmentação persistente do mercado que afecta os pequenos produtores, transformadores e exportadores emergentes, através da agregação da oferta, da melhoria do acesso à informação comercial, da facilitação da logística e do armazenamento, do apoio ao financiamento comercial e da ligação dos produtores africanos a compradores regionais e internacionais. A ATDC planeia colocar em funcionamento sete entidades nacionais em toda África até ao final de 2026, estando prevista uma expansão adicional para 2027.

O Relatório sobre o Comércio em África de 2026 do Afreximbank (https://apo-opa.co/4c56dW7) assinala que o comércio de mercadorias em África registou um crescimento de 6,1%, atingindo aproximadamente 1,5 biliões de dólares americanos, enquanto o comércio intra-africano registou um crescimento de 5,5%, atingindo cerca de 213,8 mil milhões de dólares americanos. O relatório destaca igualmente as restrições persistentes relacionadas com lacunas no financiamento do comércio, défices de infra-estruturas e limitado valor acrescentado, sublinhando a necessidade de plataformas comercialmente sustentáveis capazes de transformar a integração regional em fluxos comerciais concretos.

A criação das duas entidades faz parte do mandato mais amplo da ATDC para acelerar a industrialização de África, promover a criação de valor acrescentado local e apoiar a implementação da Zona de Comércio Livre Continental Africana através de plataformas comerciais nacionais escaláveis e comercialmente sustentáveis.

Comentando sobre a assinatura, a Sr.ª Kanayo Awani, Vice-Presidente Executiva para o Comércio Intra-africano e Desenvolvimento das Exportações do Afreximbank, afirmou que: “A assinatura da National ATDC Zimbabwe e da National ATDC Malawi representa mais um marco importante na estratégia do Afreximbank de construir a infra-estrutura comercial necessária para impulsionar a transformação de África. Por meio destas parcerias, estamos a criar plataformas que ligam os produtores africanos aos mercados, facilitam o financiamento do comércio e promovem a criação de valor acrescentado. Ao trabalhar com parceiros locais sólidos, estamos a lançar as bases para o aumento das exportações, da industrialização e do empoderamento económico local em todo o continente.”

Referindo-se à estratégia de implantação pan-africana da ATDC, o Sr. Stewart Makura, Director Executivo da ATDC, afirmou que: “A ATDC está a construir a arquitectura operacional para o comércio africano. A National ATDC Zimbabwe e a National ATDC Malawi permitir-nos-ão combinar o conhecimento do mercado local com a rede comercial pan-africana da ATDC, ajudando os produtores a superar as limitações em termos de escala, logística e acesso ao mercado. Estas entidades serão plataformas práticas de execução para o comércio alinhado com a ZCLCA, a criação de valor acrescentado e o desenvolvimento da cadeia de valor regional.”

Comentando sobre a criação da National ATDC Zimbabwe, o Sr. Wellington Mutizwa, Director-Geral da CBZ Agro Yield, afirmou que: “A CBZ Agro Yield tem o enorme prazer de estabelecer uma parceria com a ATDC na criação de uma plataforma que responde directamente ao potencial produtivo do Zimbabwe. Esta parceria ajudará a agregar a produção, apoiará os produtores no acesso ao mercado e na logística e criará vias mais sólidas para que os produtos do Zimbabwe cheguem aos mercados regionais e internacionais. Trata-se de um passo importante para aprofundar o crescimento impulsionado pelas exportações e expandir as oportunidades para agricultores, PME e transformadores.”

Ao comentar o lançamento da National ATDC Malawi, o Dr. Ronald Mangani, Director Executivo do Grupo Press Corporation Plc, afirmou que: “A parceria da Press Corporation Plc com a ATDC reúne a capacidade comercial local do Malawi e a rede comercial continental da ATDC. Através da ATDC Malawi, iremos apoiar a agregação, o processamento e a circulação de produtos do Malawi para os mercados regionais e globais, ajudando igualmente a construir as infra-estruturas e os serviços necessários para um comércio mais competitivo.”

Estiveram presentes o Prof. Benedict Oramah, Presidente do Conselho de Administração da ATDC; a Sr.ª Kanayo Awani, Vice-Presidente Executiva para o Comércio Intra-Africano e Desenvolvimento das Exportações do Afreximbank e Membro do Conselho de Administração da ATDC; outros membros do Conselho de Administração da ATDC; o Eng. Hani Sonbol, Director Executivo da Corporação Internacional de Financiamento do Comércio Islâmico (ITFC) e Administrador da ATDC; e quadros seniores do Afreximbank, da CBZ Agro Yield e da Press Corporation Plc. Estiveram igualmente presentes Administradores da Press Corporation Plc.

rAge and Mettlestate join forces to shape Africa’s next great gaming festival

Source: APO

After more than two decades as Africa’s most iconic gaming event, rAge is preparing for its biggest evolution yet.

Taking place at Fourways Mall in Johannesburg, South Africa from 27 to 29 November 2026, rAge is evolving from a traditional expo into a full-scale festival of gaming, esports, technology, creators, cosplay, anime, entertainment and community. The expanded format is designed not only for South African audiences, but for the growing network of players, creators, competitors, fans and technology enthusiasts across the wider continent.

Gaming will always remain the beating heart of rAge, but this year’s spectacle has been designed from the ground up for a much broader audience. Families, young creators, technology enthusiasts, casual players, anime and cosplay fans, serious competitors, and curious first-time visitors will all find something unforgettable.

“This isn’t simply another edition of rAge; it is a bold reinvention of what a gaming event can be, says Barry Louzada, managing director of Mettlestate. “While gaming remains the beating heart of rAge, every part of the experience has been reimagined to reflect how gaming culture has evolved. Today’s gamers don’t just play games. They also watch esports, follow creators, build communities, embrace technology, celebrate cosplay, create content and experience gaming as a culture that extends far beyond the screen. rAge 2026 has been built around that culture.”

rAge also boasts a new visual identity that signals the event that has officially levelled up. Bold, immersive and unmistakably rooted in gaming culture, it builds on the brand’s legendary legacy while introducing a sharper, more future-facing look. It is a visual upgrade that reflects its evolution from expo to full-scale festival.

The level up

The event will expand beyond the traditional expo format into a festival designed around participation. Visitors can expect immersive attractions, live entertainment, creator-led content, interactive experiences, community spaces and competitions. Hardcore players, casual gamers, families, anime and cosplay fans, creators, tech enthusiasts and curious first-timers will each find their own route through the event.

This year’s event will also introduce elements of retrofuturism, combining the nostalgia and visual language of gaming’s past with ideas, technology and experiences that look ahead to what the future of digital culture could become. From classic influences reimagined through new technology to immersive environments that blur the lines between then, now and next, retrofuturism will give rAge 2026 a distinctive creative identity. It is a creative direction that reflects rAge itself, honouring its legacy while looking firmly to the future.

The legacy loadout

Gaming remains the main quest. The iconic BYOC LAN, esports, cosplay, local game development, tabletop gaming, fandom, technology showcases, gear and show specials all remain firmly in play. The festival format builds out from that foundation rather than patching over the rAge experience its community has spent more than two decades shaping.

“We’ve spent 23 years building one of South Africa’s most recognised gaming brands,” says Michael James, project director of rAge. “Now we are taking the biggest step in our history. Together with Mettlestate, we’re creating something that extends far beyond an expo. We’re building a festival that celebrates every part of gaming culture, and what comes next will take it to another level.”

Game on

This brand evolution reflects gaming’s growing influence on culture. rAge embraces that shift with a more immersive festival experience, where visitors can move between gaming, competition, creativity and live entertainment, with Mettlestate bringing its competitive and community-driven experience expertise to the event.

“rAge has always held a special place in South African gaming, and we’re incredibly proud to be part of its next chapter,” adds Louzada. “Every corner of the event has been designed to create moments worth sharing. And this November, a new era begins.”

Visitors will experience more ways to play, compete, discover and participate than ever before. Creators will have bigger stages to grow their communities. Esports will reach new audiences. Families will discover experiences designed for every generation. Brands will move beyond traditional exhibition stands into immersive activations that become part of the festival itself.

“rAge is no longer simply an expo. With Mettlestate in co-op mode, it is becoming South Africa’s premier gaming, esports, technology and digital culture festival that has the same legendary DNA with a bigger map and a premium new ally,” adds James.

Early childhood is a great time to learn about clean energy: this game aims to make it fun

Source: The Conversation – Africa – By Moleboheng Mokhele, Senior lecturer, North-West University

Early childhood is an important stage when children develop curiosity, values and problem-solving skills. This developmental window provides a strong foundation for lifelong learning, making it an ideal entry point for introducing key concepts such as environmental stewardship, cultural identity and social responsibility.

That is the idea behind ReneWable Rangers, a learning game prototype that uses play, storytelling and adventure to teach young children about science and renewable energy. The game contributes to the ongoing conversation about developing educational approaches that are equitable, locally relevant and globally conscious. Moleboheng Mokhele, an innovative early childhood STEM education researcher, unpacks the findings of her co-authored conceptual paper on how ReneWable Rangers can serve as a model for science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) education.

Why focus on play-based learning?

Global challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion, force a rethink of how to prepare the next generation. These issues are not far away from children’s lives.

Education holds a responsibility. Early childhood – from birth to 8 years old – is a stage where children develop values and problem-solving skills. It is marked by rapid cognitive growth, heightened curiosity, and an increasing awareness of the world around them.

However, much of STEM learning in South Africa, particularly science, is introduced as a standalone subject only in Grade 4. This delay misses early developmental windows for critical thinking. It creates a gap between what children learn at school and what they experience at home and in their communities.

My research focuses on how early STEM education can be made more meaningful, engaging and inclusive for children. Children learn best when they are having fun, asking questions, and actively taking part in what they are learning.

That is the idea behind Renewable Rangers, an educational game that uses play, storytelling, guided inquiry, physical activity and visual learning to help young children learn about science and renewable energy in a fun, meaningful and age-appropriate way.

What is ReneWable Rangers and what are its objectives?

In many cases, STEM education remains focused mainly on technical skills and academic achievement. As a result it does not fully prepare children for the environmental, cultural and ethical challenges they will face in life.

Our conceptual paper responds to this gap. The play-based educational initiative aims to show how playful, inclusive and culturally meaningful learning can better prepare children to understand global challenges, value their local contexts, and see themselves as active agents of change for a more sustainable future.

The game follows me, Dr Mummy Ranger, and my two sons, Wavhudi and Rivhavhudi, as we travel across South Africa on a mission to help restore electricity in the country after a nationwide blackout. We journey in our eco-friendly Ranger vehicle, bringing hope to communities and inspiring children to become young renewable energy heroes.

Since 2007, South Africa has experienced ongoing electricity shortages stemming from inadequate generation capacity, ageing infrastructure and poor maintenance. Although nationwide load shedding has decreased in recent years, many communities still experience localised power outages caused by network problems.

As the characters move from one province to another, they learn about different renewable energy sources found in each region, such as solar and wind power. They also explore the diverse cultures, languages and ways of life in each province. Each province becomes a meaningful learning space where STEM concepts are connected to real-life experiences in a fun and engaging way.

Along the way, children learn:

how electricity is made
what causes power cuts
how we can use renewable energy sources

This is achieved through stories and hands-on activities. Rather than simply teaching children facts, the game allows them to explore ideas through experience.

The game also places strong emphasis on identity and culture by creating stories and characters that children can recognise. The characters help children see themselves in the story.

ReneWable Rangers is more than a game. It’s an invitation to rethink what children are capable of and what kind of future we want to prepare them for.

What the game looks and feels like

At this stage, ReneWable Rangers is a carefully designed prototype. It combines cultural responsiveness, sustainability, self-directed learning and play-based pedagogy into one integrated learning experience.

Unlike many educational games that import foreign models and try to localise them after the fact, ReneWable Rangers was designed from the ground up with South African learners in mind. It does not treat cultural relevance or learner voice as add-ons: these are central to the experience.

That said, strong conceptual design must be followed by careful empirical validation. The next step is to take ReneWable Rangers into real classrooms, observe how learners engage with it, and measure its impact on their understanding, confidence and curiosity.
