It’s time now for the Friday edition of #TheDiscourse and this morning we look at Africa’s new credit rating agency and whether it can change how international investors assess the continent. The AfricanUnion has launched the Africa Credit Rating Agency, or AfCRA, in Mauritius. It will rate governments, banks and companies, providing what the AU says will be an assessment of African economies based on local data and expertise. The agency is intended to give investors more information about risks in African markets and could help countries lower their borrowing costs. But its success will depend on whether investors trust its ratings to be independent and credible. For more on this, Peter Ndoro is joined by Dennis Shen, Lecturer in Finance at the International School of Management in Berlin and a former sovereign analyst. #RiseAndShine #TheDiscourse #AfricaCreditRatingAgency #AfCRA #AfricanUnion #AfricanEconomies Lightbox link for post with description It’s time now for the Friday edition of...

Calm has returned to the streets of Orlando West in the South African city of Johannesburg, following violent protests sparked by a recent Constitutional Court ruling on the country's Refugee laws. Members of the South African National Defense Force and riot police were deployed to the area after atleast 10 vehicles were torched and damaged, folowing a surge in the number of foreign nationals seeking assistance at Home Affairs and immigration offices. Local residents say they feel unsupported by government and want their concerns over immigration and economic opportunities in the township addressed. For more on what is happening on the ground, SABC News Reporter, Lerato Makola now joins us on the line from Orlando West, in the South of Johannesburg. #RiseAndShine #Asylum #Soweto #HomeAffairs Lightbox link for post with description Calm has returned to the streets of Orlando West...

The 15th annual Windaba Conference, which concluded this week in South Africa's Cape Town city, called for concrete, actionable resolutions to unlock South Africa's wind sector. Key outcomes from the two-day summit include an official commitment by the country's Ministry of Electricity and Energy to rapidly procure commercial battery energy storage technologies to anchor the national grid and absorb off-peak wind generation. To manage excess capacity, government and industry stakeholders finalized strategies to export surplus power to regional African neighbours, while implementing AI-driven verification systems to dramatically accelerate curtailment financial settlements. The summit is the flagship event of the South African Wind Energy Association and it has been held annually since 2020. Now to unpack the 2026 agreements and resolutions, Peter Ndoro speaks to Interim CEO at South African Wind Energy Association, Titania Stefanus- Zincke. #RiseAndShine #Windaba2026 #Windaba Lightbox link for post with description The 15th annual Windaba Conference, which...

As we look ahead to World Mental Health Day on Saturday, Doctors Without Borders, or MSF, is highlighting a rarely told side of the child malnutrition crisis, the emotional and psychological toll on parents and caregivers. Medical statistics can tell us how many children are admitted and how many recover. But they cannot capture the fear, exhaustion and distress experienced by caregivers caring for a sick child, while worrying about other children they may have left at home. At MSF’s Nilefa Kiji nutrition facility in Maiduguri, in Nigeria’s Borno State, mental health and psychosocial support is integrated into the care of children with severe malnutrition. For more on the emotional impact of the crisis on caregivers and the support available to families, Peter Ndoro is joined by Mbali Mzinyane, Digital Fundraising Specialist at Doctors Without Borders, MSF Southern Africa. #RiseAndShine #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthAtWork #LivedExperiencesHeard #RealVoicesRealChange Lightbox link for post with description As we look ahead to World Mental Health Day on...

Uganda celebrates 64 years of independence today, marking more than six decades since the country gained freedom from British colonial rule in 1962. But as Ugandans reflect on that journey, the country continues to grapple with economic pressures, unemployment, inequality and the rising cost of living. On the political front, questions around democracy, governance, human rights and political freedoms remain central as Uganda heads towards the 2026 elections. To unpack Uganda’s hopes and challenges going forward, Peter Ndoro is joined by activist and lawyer, Godwin Toko from the Agora Centre for Research in Uganda. #RiseAndShine #UgandaAt64 #UgandaIndependenceDay #64YearsOfIndependence #HappyIndependenceDayUganda Lightbox link for post with description Uganda celebrates 64 years of independence today,...
