Rob Hersov joins The Winston Marshall Show to discuss decolonisation in Africa, British colonialism, Cecil Rhodes and the political and economic legacy of European rule across the continent. A South African entrepreneur and private investor with an MBA from Harvard Business School, Hersov has founded and chaired Africa-focused investment businesses and worked across finance, media and aviation. He argues that governance and corruption, rather than colonialism, are central to Africa’s modern challenges, while examining education, infrastructure and development in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana and South Africa. The discussion also covers Rhodes’ legacy, racism in colonial Africa, post-colonial leadership and the African countries he believes have the strongest prospects for future investment and growth.

Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Niger snubbed France by granting uranium mining permits to state-owned firms. Niger’s military government is accelerating its push for resource nationalism by revoking mining rights of Western corporations and transferring them to state-controlled entities. In a major setback for France, Niamey awarded the In Azaoua uranium permit to TSUMCO SA—a new state enterprise formed after Niger seized control of the SOMAÏR mine from French nuclear giant Orano. Meanwhile, the Madaouela I permit was reassigned to the Madaouela Mining Company following the license revocation of Canadian firm GoviEx Uranium. These bold economic shifts coincide with escalating geopolitical tensions across the Sahel. Niger, alongside Mali and Burkina Faso under the Alliance of Sahel States, has cut ties with former colonial power France and forged closer security partnerships with Russia. Tensions reached a boiling point after a deadly assault at Niamey’s international airport, leading military leader General Abdourahmane Tchiani to accuse Western powers of backing regional instability. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.

Inspired by the life of Kamerunian Freedom Fighter, Ruben Um Nyobè, Yobè is Afrikan Spirituality and Combatives, a comprehensive lifestyle designed for people of Afrikan descent to heal from racial trauma and historical suffering through learning Afrikan-centered spiritual systems and self defense.

As such, Yobè is an Afrikan (Alkebulan) Martial Art (Montu) purposed for the liberation and restoration of our Black cultural and spiritual identity before slavery and colonialism. It is a sacred science and a way of life for people of Afrikan descent.

Terminology:

Yobè pays homage to Alkebulan (Afrikan) Kamerunian Warrior and Pan-Afrikan Freedom Fighter, Ruben Um Nyobè who fought against French colonialism in Cameroon before the French murdered him on September 13, 1958.

Through the centuries, our ancestors have always centered Afrikan warrior arts into the culture and spirituality of the people from the music within the drum circle to the charms carried by Dambe fighters. The word Martial Arts comes from the Roman god of war, Mars.

The Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) NTR of War, Montu, is often used to describe the Afrikan Martial Arts. The Kemetic tomb of Baqet III shows various combative positions that appear to be wrestling or grappling.

Throughout the continent of Afrika, wrestling is often considered to be our martial art or Montu. Which literally means to get your opponent on their back, belly, or side. Such an opponent has been successfully “wrestled.” These forms of wrestling include the Laamb of Senegal, Ijakadi or Gidigbo of the Yoruba, and many others.

Alkebulan- Ancient name for the continent commonly miscalled Africa

Afraka (Afrakan): “Af” means flesh as in our black and brown skin. “Ra” means the Ultimate Light which illuminates all things. “Ka” is the Living Spirit within all things. To call our Motherland Afraka and ourselves Afrakan is to connect our physical to our spiritual Afrakan Self. To be Afrakan is not just about skin color and goes beyond race.

Nu Afrakans- Those individuals of African descent who are conscious and connected to their Afrikan ancestry, acknowledge their Creator through actions towards Afrikan unity, and live to pass on their knowledge to the next generations forever.

Yoruba:
Ija- Fight
Ijakadi- Wrestling, Combat, Fighting
Gidigbo- Wrestling
Ogun- Orisha of Warriorhood & Metalwork
Ori- Head
Ese- Punch
Onapasi- Kick

Montu- Kemetic NTR of War used to describe Afrikan Combatives, Wrestling & Fighting

Some Afrikan forms of martial (montu) arts include:

“#IGrowYourFood” is a part of GoodFood4All” campaign.

There are many things that connect people the world over. Food is one of them. We all have to eat. And, everyone has the right to access affordable, nutritious, good food.

But what about those who grow our food?

Do we know enough about the challenges they face, the work they do and how we can support them?

Then, without farmers, how would we eat?

The “#GoodFood4All” campaign is organized by 25 partners across Europe who have come together in "Make Europe Sustainable for All", a 3-year cross-sectoral project to promote the ambitious implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Museums have long been unwelcoming or intimidating spaces for many, particularly ordinary Africans. In this powerful talk, Kwame Akoto Bamfo reimagines the museum experience through the lens of African heritage and community engagement. By embracing change as a constant force, Kwame demonstrates how interactive art and inclusive spaces can serve as healing, dialogue, and transformation mediums.

Through his work, he challenges traditional perceptions of museums and invites communities to reconnect with their identity and heritage. This talk is a compelling exploration of how art can celebrate cultural freedom and inspire others to embrace their role in shaping change narratives. Kwame Akoto-Bamfo is a Ghanaian sculptor, educator, and activist renowned for his dedication to preserving African history and promoting restorative justice through art. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in painting and sculpture from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.

His seminal work, the Nkyinkyim Installation, is an evolving art project comprising over 1,500 portraits of Africans in the diaspora. This installation pays homage to the victims of the Transatlantic slave trade and is prominently featured at the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama.

In 2017, Akoto-Bamfo gained international attention with his "Faux-Reedom" exhibition, which featured 1,200 sculpted heads representing Ghana's enslaved ancestors. This powerful display questioned Ghana's independence and highlighted neo-colonial legacies.

Beyond his installations, Akoto-Bamfo actively participates in public speaking, research, and lectures, focusing on archiving and promoting African history and cultural heritage. His work has been featured in various documentaries and miniseries, including "Enslaved" (2020) and "The Art of Healing" (2022).

His contributions to art and activism have earned him several accolades, such as the GUBA Influential Artist of the Year in 2019 and the inaugural Kuenyehia Prize for Contemporary Art.

Through his art, Kwame Akoto-Bamfo continues challenging historical narratives, fostering healing, and inspiring restorative justice across the African diaspora. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
