Thokolosi Or Matholwane: An Affront To Babirwa Culture
A Hollywood Movie Geisha was banned in both Japan and China. The storyline was viewed as unacceptable and an intolerable affront to the cultural and experiential sensitivities of the two nations. The movie was seen in part as a painful reminder of the 'Rape of Naking' where Japanese soldiers raped thousands of Chinese girls.UNESCO And Africa
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) is celebrating 60 years of existence. The new organisation became known by the acronym "Unesco" (now UNESCO). UNESCO has been very active in Africa.The National Fuel Security Depot
So the National Fuel Security Depot is back in the news with Minister Charles Tibone telling the National Assembly how essential it is that this be constructed, and being heartily supported by Mmegi's 10th March editorial. I first came across this project in May 1991 when a poorly attended kgotla meeting in Odi was informed by an expatriate civil servant in the Ministry of Commerce that it had been chosen as a potential location for an underground national fuel depot.AGOA Deprives African Nations Of Sovereignty
AGOA, a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is one of a number of economic initiatives by the West aimed at pressurising African governments to implement economic structural reforms that are beneficial to the West. In return, they are awarded with small packages of trade and investment. However, to be fair, there is no denying that AGOA has yielded immediate economic windfall for a few African countries, with exports increasing significantly mainly in the textile and apparel sectors.
