A South African company has signed a deal worth about $150 million to buy 450 electric buses made in Uganda 🇺🇬. This is the Africa we want!.

@BiancoDavinci Stunning! It reminds me of the tiles in my shower at The Gleneagles Townhouse in Edinburgh. One of my favourite hotels in the UK.

I’ve been loving this shade of green lately.

@AlphaWolfRSA 1796. It came with a certificate.

@muloongo Also can now definitely confirm you map is from London between 1750–1820, its a great find to be honest cant confirm if its original or an reprint

I bought this 1796 map of Africa for $165 in New York in 2024. It shows the African kingdoms that existed before colonialism. I can’t work out whether Zambia was part of the Jaga or Catango or Monomatapa kingdoms. This is what we should be teaching our kids in school.

@AlphaWolfRSA Don’t shoot the messenger! As someone pointed out, this might be the only group they met.

@muloongo So according to this map the only group thats was based in South Africa is the Khoekhoe.

@voo725 For sure! We need our own maps.

@muloongo Negroland, that is not a map made by Africans.

@IanECox I used to subscribe to The Spectator. This is the general tone of the entire publication. I stopped reading it because nothing irritates me more than this superior attitude that has passed its sell by date.

@muloongo Article written by an Iranian.

Colonisers cannot fathom that the Middle East is a better place to live than the UK.

@BombChijo @EscobarChim @zeustheman05 This is so helpful. Thank you. Will look for the book when in Lusaka. I did my Junior High school in Zambia and don’t remember! It’s very interesting.

@muloongo @EscobarChim @zeustheman05 Junior secondary History teaches about the kingdoms that existed before colonialism, most famous History book was " Hantobolo" its all there

@JuliaMuhumuza Especially when you are doing well in life.

I think one of the most underrated blessings in life is meeting people who genuinely wish you well.

@LuoKe_ @tazmus982 Agreed. I wish we did better at putting out our own narrative

@muloongo @tazmus982 Unfortunately, I think they only included the kingdoms and nationalities they had interacted with, thus they knew their existence. There remains many more nationalities unmentioned. Africa is unlikely to fall to the European domination scheme where one nation absorbs others

The tweet of the day! 😂

The Adel empire [Modern day Somaliland] appears an old map of 1796 that shows african empires before the colonial powers. #Somaliland

@ADheegsan Thanks for the insight!

War doesn't bring peace. It just teaches the next generation new reasons to hate. #ChoosePeace.

@afalli One of the kids I selected who is now at Oxford said he got a lower grade in his tutorial essay when he did not use AI.

"Colonialism did its job of isolating us." Speaking at the CELAC–Africa Forum in Bogota, Colombian Vice President Francia Marquez called for stronger Latin America–Africa ties, saying closer cooperation could boost economic growth and challenge colonial legacies.
