Reuters corespondent @timcocks lived four years in Africa's hardest-hustling metropolis, meeting its entrepreneurs, its gangsters, and its other unstoppable hustlers. The result is Lagos: Supernatural City, which I've just reviewed at Books on Cities: booksoncities.com/p/tim-cocks-la…
“It is a challenging market time but Nigeria has a tendency to come back from the precipice. Anyone who is there when the tide turns will see upsides” I sat down with CEOs of MTN SA & Nigeria - they're optimistic despite macro headwinds in telcos industry ft.com/content/84733a…
Zuma free to run in next month’s election after court overturns a previous decision to ban him. Big blow for the ANC, and changes the electoral calculus... via @davidpilling ft.com/content/0be827…

Walked past this water leak in my neighbourhood in #Johannesburg last night and thought: well no wonder there’s always a water shortage!
These #Intercept articles on problems with sourcing in the #NYT’s Hamas sexual violence story are fascinating. They reveal much about the risks of 1) journalist bias and 2) anonymous sources (that we all use from time to time) especially military ones. theintercept.com/2024/03/04/nyt…

Looking forward to this fascinating documentary by @k_tmark for @BBCPanorama tonight. A billionaire pastor: exploiting his worshippers for money or providing solace?
A grim reminder that humans might be the only species causing climate change, but we certainly aren’t the only ones affected by it. Dozens of Zimbabwe elephants die as climate change dries up Hwange park. Check out heartbreaking photo reuters.com/business/envir…
#SouthAfrica joins a growing list of backsliders on crucial 2030 #emissions goals. Shows just how damaging rich nations' reneging on their Paris #climate goals has been, as it has encouraged others to follow suit. Great exclusive by @promit07 reuters.com/sustainability…
Finland is aiming to go carbon neutral in 15 years. They're creating jobs by boosting #renewables and saving trees. Its CO2 emissions have already dropped 21% since 1990s levels. We have the solutions, let's speed it up and implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy

We’re told we live in free market democracies that protect human freedom. In fact, our lives are controlled by capital. Vulture capitalism - out on 7th March 2024 - exposes the capitalist central planning that dominates our societies. And shows how we build real democracy.
