I've written an article in this week's @thecontinent_ about mining giant Anglo American leaving Southern Africa, and what they are leaving behind. Free to read and subscribe: thecontinent.org/_files/ugd/287…

@LacksonMudenda @ssishuwa @mininghistory Same but AlSO would love love a podcast series from this duo. Zambian history is thoroughly underserved on the podcast front.

@ssishuwa @Calagra @mininghistory Looking forward to it Keep at it 👏🏿👏🏿

On 14 July 2014, Michael Sata briefly sacked Vice-President Guy Scott and replaced him with Minister of Local Government Emmanuel Chenda. Hours later, Sata reversed his decision. Why did the President fire Scott and why did he change his mind? @mininghistory and I examine these and other questions in our forthcoming academic article on succession politics, Sata's death, and the constitutional crisis that Zambia averted ahead of the 2015 transition.

One of our 15-year-old students at Tiossan Academy (my school in Senegal) decided to stop waiting for permission and built a tool for all of us. Go to africastupidlaws(dot)org right now. It’s a simple place to submit the most ridiculous, business-killing laws in your country.  If a teenager can build a website to track this, maybe our leaders can find the courage to start repealing them.

The royal drums sound the call! The Zambezi's banks have given way, the floodplains are pregnant with the new season. The royal barge awakens to carry the King to higher ground. A sacred journey, a dance with the water. It is time to Kuomboka! Shaaaangweeee 👏👏👏

What if the most important thing an economics research lab could produce was not a paper but a novel? Karen Jennings wrote First of December as a writer-in-residence at our lab, @LEAP_SU It follows three people in the final days before slave emancipation at the Cape in 1838. The aim was to carry research on Cape Slavery far beyond the academy. South Africa’s history of slavery remains locked up in archives that almost no one opens. What would it take to resurface it in everyday conversation? A novel might do the work that no academic paper could. First of December will be released in the UK on 26 March and in South Africa in August.

I had to manually go through 32,000 land registry filings for this piece and have forgotten many treasured memories in favour of weird details about London attractions owned by overseas billionaires. Please make my toil worth it by giving the piece a read

Succinct early history of gold in Southern Africa and the role of long-distance trade in this article.

Is there honestly a more original and wonderfully cerebral Zim writer than Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu? This is so, so good!! So good!! lolwe.org/a-very-brief-h…

youtu.be/eYf595EJAc4?si… Exquisite 👌 If you remember watching KnightRider, this is excellent. Totally late to this, done 5 years ago!

Rita Moreno is one of just three people to win an Emmy for The Muppets, the other two: Bernadette Peters and Peter Sellers. The comedy timing during her performance of "Fever" while Animal attempts to railroad her is incredible. It was also done in one take "Dat my kinda woman!"

Why did Scotland punch so far above its weight in the age of industrialisation and enlightenment? The usual answer is education. But I argue that this puts the cart before the horse, and that it was almost entirely down to capital: ageofinvention.xyz/p/age-of-inven…

This is very good news and a culmination of many years of north Sutherland community initiative. My daughter has two parents descended from the Strathnaver Clearances and this type of empowerment may yet offer her generation the chance to repeople this landscape.

@briansimasiku That's great news!

Look what God has done for me! I can’t even explain the kind of joy I’m feeling today. Both my daughters have been admitted to CBU. I have nothing but gratitude 🙏
