We ask political analyst, ADAM MFUNDISI, about the challenges ahead for Botswana's new president DUMA BOKO. He tells us the country is in 'an undeclared recession' brought about by lacklustre diamond sales and corruption.Sudan's war is having horrifying effects on the country's people. The UN has called it 'the world's greatest modern-day famine' with at least 1.5 million people on the brink of starvation. Food is being used as a weapon of war by both sides. More than 10 million people have fled their homes, many to camps where there are no schools. People are speaking of a lost generation of Sudanese children. Amidst all this despair, we ask political economist, JAWHARA KANU, are there any prospects for peace?DONU opines on fellow Nigerian KEMI BADENOCH, who's been elected to lead the UK's Conservative Part. What do other Nigerians make of her achievement? And how might Prime Minister, KEIR STARMER, deal with her? 'She'll make mincemeat of him' reckons DONU.And PATRICK reflects on the 50th anniversary of one of the 20th Century's most significant sporting events, the Rumble in the Jungle in Kinshasa. He reminds us that the 3 day extravaganza had an impact far beyond boxing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
