Mozambique occupies a critical position in the regional drug economy. Its extensive Indian Ocean coastline, strategic ports and proximity to major Southern African markets have made the country an important corridor for international trafficking networks.

But the story is no longer simply about drugs passing through Mozambique. Increasingly, questions are being raised about how transnational trafficking networks intersect with domestic markets, local economies and communities.

The bigger issue is the economy behind the drugs — the networks, logistics, money and interests that sustain the trade, and who ultimately benefits from it.

In this discussion, we examine what Mozambique’s evolving drug market tells us about the changing architecture of organised crime in Southern Africa, and the broader economic and social implications for the region.

We speak to Hélio Guiliche, Public Policy and Governance Senior Specialist, for an in-depth analysis of Mozambique’s role in the regional drug economy and the forces shaping the trade.

In Uganda, a man who spent decades telling the stories of his country has now become part of one of its oldest institutions.

On Tuesday, 29 September, veteran journalist and broadcaster Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma was crowned King Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I of the Tooro Kingdom.

His ascension comes at a significant moment for the kingdom, following the death of King Oyo Nyimba and amid questions surrounding the succession.

What does the new king’s background in journalism mean for his role as monarch? And what lies ahead for the Tooro Kingdom as it begins a new chapter?

We explore the significance of King Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I’s ascension, the history and traditions of the Tooro Kingdom, and what his leadership could mean for the institution and its people. We speak to Channel Africa reporter Innocent Semosa.

On The Discourse this morning, we turn our attention to Lesotho, a day after the Kingdom marked 60 years of independence from British colonial rule.

Since gaining independence in 1966, Lesotho has made important strides in political and economic reforms, regional integration and institution-building. But as the country celebrates this milestone, it continues to face significant challenges, including unemployment, poverty, economic vulnerability and political instability.

As Lesotho looks towards the next chapter, how can the Kingdom unlock its economic potential, strengthen its institutions and create greater opportunities for its people? And what role can Lesotho play in the wider African and regional landscape?

To reflect on Lesotho’s independence journey, its achievements, challenges and hopes for the future, we are joined by Limpho Justice Tau, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Relations of Lesotho.

Renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia is putting the country’s fragile economic recovery under growing pressure.

Following the collapse of the 2022 Pretoria peace agreement, a newly formed rebel alliance led by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front has launched a multi-front offensive, with fighting spreading beyond Tigray into the neighbouring Amhara and Afar regions.

The escalating conflict is also creating a severe economic crisis. Humanitarian flights remain suspended, roads are blocked and telecommunications have been heavily disrupted. Across affected areas, panic buying is growing while banking services face major disruptions, raising fresh concerns about financial stability, markets and livelihoods.

What does the renewed conflict mean for Ethiopia’s economy? Could prolonged instability derail the country’s recovery and deepen financial pressures on households and businesses?

To discuss the economic impact of the war, we are joined by Mered Fikireyohannes, Ethiopia-based financial economist and market analyst.

Former Guinea-Bissau President Umaro Sissoco Embaló remains in exile in Morocco after the country’s ruling military junta blocked his planned return to Bissau.

Embaló, who was ousted in a November 2025 coup, had vowed to return to Guinea-Bissau and contest the presidential election scheduled for December 6, 2026. The military high command says his return could pose serious national security and public-order risks, while also citing concerns over his personal safety following recent unrest involving the presidential guard.

So, what does Embaló’s continued exile mean for Guinea-Bissau’s political future? Could his exclusion from the election deepen the country’s political crisis, and what role could the military continue to play in the transition?

To unpack these developments, we are joined by Yussef Gomes, Bissau-Guinean civil activist and political commentator.

[ICYMI] What if the workplace isn’t just a backdrop to our working lives, but something that actively shapes how we feel, think and behave?

In this conversation with SABC Channel Africa, architect, multidisciplinary designer and founder of Hoven, Nisha van der Hoven explores creativity in the workplace through the lens of sensory design and human behaviour. From the importance of choice and belonging to why curiosity needs room, why people inevitably redesign our designs, and what makes an office genuinely worth coming in for.

Before we think, we feel, and when we design workplaces that pay attention to how people feel, we have a much better chance of supporting how they think, connect and create

[ICYMI] Last week in Zanzibar, the African Union launched a new publication exploring the important links between peace, security and development across the continent. The booklet forms part of broader efforts to advance the goals of Agenda 2063, the AU's long-term blueprint for an integrated, peaceful and prosperous Africa. Among the contributors to the publication is Tendai Mbanje, whose chapter examines issues at the intersection of governance, development and peacebuilding. At a time when many African countries are grappling with conflict, economic pressures and development challenges, the publication seeks to highlight the fact that sustainable development cannot be achieved without peace and security. Tendai Mbanje joined us live on #africaworldhour .

O Brasil prepara-se para uma segunda volta presidencial marcada para 25 de Outubro, depois de Flávio Bolsonaro ter terminado a primeira volta à frente de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. O senador do Partido Liberal obteve 47,03% dos votos válidos, contra 45,16% de Lula, numa diferença de cerca de 2,2 milhões de votos.

O resultado surpreendeu, já que as sondagens apontavam para uma disputa mais equilibrada, mas com Lula numericamente à frente. A campanha foi marcada por preocupações com o custo de vida, criminalidade, corrupção e situação das contas públicas, num cenário de forte polarização política.

Para analisar o significado deste resultado e os desafios que se colocam aos dois candidatos até à segunda volta, conversamos com Alcimir Antonio do Carmo, Presidente da Federação dos Jornalistas Lingua Portuguesa.
