This saying applies repeatedly as correct, as shown by the latest Nachrichten Deutschland Afrika (NADA)!
South African paleontologists revealed the discovery of a burial site near Johannesburg of the remains of the Homo naledi, a tree-climbing hominid and distant relative of human, who had been thought incapable of this until now.
Unfortunately Zimbabwe made it easily to the top of the recently published 2022 Annual Misery Index of the US economist Prof. Steve Hanke.

Inflation was the main contributor in the case of Zimbabwe.

My sincere thanks to the South African government of President Cyril Ramaphosa for the unexpected great honour bestowed on me of the “Companions of OR Tambo” award!
This week I will be travelling to South Africa, to receive the Order of the Companions of O.R. Tambo. Aware that I was only one of many, it is an incredible honour for me to be recognised for the work I put towards the abolishment of the Apartheid regime in this most prestigious way. I made the decision to be bestowed the order in person in Pretoria, by the Presidency of the Republic of South Africa, on April 28. Watch this space for further updates and footage of the event.

Network Africa Germany (NAD) recently drew attention to the global competition for two of its metals and minerals, namely lithium and cobalt. Both are needed to achieve clean energy. So far, lithium is irreplaceable. The negative environmental consequences of its production, such as high water consumption and CO₂ emissions, cannot be compared with those of fossil fuels and could be improved.
Usually I try not to indulge in nostalgic memories. But a dissertation on the South African musical “King Kong” by Prof. Tyler David Fleming I came across dated 2009 sure took me back in time.
