Pan African Agricultural organisation, Farmers Pride International is exploring an agriculture based cluster model in Botswana that seeks to connect farmers with processing, manufacturing, research, technology and markets, with the ambition of turning high value crops into entire industries.

Moringa, turmeric, ginger and Devil’s Claw are among the crops being positioned as potential drivers of value addition, employment, rural development and new export opportunities.

The idea is to move beyond exporting raw agricultural products and instead build value chains that create businesses and jobs around everything from processing and packaging to product development and distribution.

We explore how high value crops can become the foundation for a new generation of African bio industries, and what would it take to turn that potential into a sustainable economic reality.

The geography of work is changing. Remote work has opened the door to career opportunities beyond local markets, allowing professionals to compete for jobs across borders.

But with greater access comes greater competition. For African professionals, being qualified is no longer the only consideration. Skills, experience, digital presence, adaptability and the ability to compete in a global talent market are becoming increasingly important.

So, what does it really take to become globally employable? How can young professionals position themselves for international opportunities, stand out from global competition and build careers that are not limited by geography?

We speak to Tendani Hlongwane, Youth Career Coach, about navigating the changing world of work and preparing African talent for the global employment market.

South Africa’s liberation was achieved in 1994 — but for many, the promise of liberation remains unfinished.

On Rise and Shine, we speak to Advocate Muzi Sikhakhane, a prominent Senior Counsel, former judge, struggle activist and author of Odyssey of Liberation: A Memoir of a Rebel Advocate.

Sikhakhane is also a founding member of Vuka Azania, a decolonial advocacy think tank and civil-society organisation established alongside former State Security Agency director-general Arthur Fraser, Reverend Dr Allan Boesak and Advocate Dr Isaac Shai.

The organisation focuses on land, jobs, education, economic opportunity and the empowerment of Black South Africans, while deliberately positioning itself outside party politics.

The Malawi government says it will conclude its government-backed voluntary repatriation programme for Malawian citizens who have chosen to leave South Africa.

The operation, introduced in June, was aimed at assisting Malawians who wanted to return home following anti-immigrant protests in South Africa. More than 56,000 Malawian citizens are reported to have received assistance with transport and essential supplies through the voluntary repatriation exercise, led by Malawi’s Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA).

To discuss the programme, the repatriation process and what happens next, we speak to Wilson Moleni, Commissioner for the Department of Disaster Management Affairs in Malawi.

Kenya's High Court has ruled that the next presidential election should be held on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, rather than August 10, 2027, the date currently set by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

The court found that the Constitution requires the presidential election to be held in August of the fifth year following the previous general election, leaving no discretion to the electoral commission to determine the date.

However, the court declined to order the IEBC to immediately organise the election, citing the late filing of the petition and the fact that the government, political parties and candidates had already made extensive preparations for an August 2027 poll.

For more on this, we are joined on the line by Kenya based Senior Journalist and Communication expert, Tervil Okoko.

The Malawi government says it will conclude its government-backed programme this week to repatriate citizens who have chosen to leave South Africa amid concerns over insecurity and rising tensions involving foreign nationals.

The Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DODMA) says it has so far repatriated 56,723 Malawians under the programme.

The repatriation initiative was established to assist Malawian nationals who wanted to return home amid growing concerns about their safety and living conditions in parts of South Africa.

For more on this, we are joined on the line by Phaskani Msiska, from the Migration and Labour Centre.
