This week the first group of Afrikaners arrived in the United States, as part of President Donald Trump’s initiative to resettle them in his country. President Trump alleges that this ethnic group is being targeted. “It’s a genocide that’s taking place that you people don’t want to write about. But it’s a terrible thing that’s taking place, and white farmers are being brutally killed and their land is being confiscated in South Africa. And the newspapers and the media, television media doesn’t even talk about it”, he recently told reporters. But his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa hit back. “We are the only country on the continent where the colonizers came to stay and we have never driven them out of our country”. The latest developments come as the two heads of state are preparing to meet in the coming days, to discuss their political fallout. In this episode, Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja attempts to find out if Afrikaners are really being persecuted in South Africa. Guests: AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel, AgriSA CEO Johann Kotze and political commentator Advocate Dwight Snyman

“Even the patients, their relatives had to carry them on make-shift stretchers trying to escape. We had 38 cholera patients and they all fled. Which means they spread the disease in other areas, and some of them might have died in the bush.” Tensions have escalated in South Sudan in recent weeks after the Vice President was put under house arrest and his key allies were detained. In Upper Nile and Jonglei states, violence between a militia allied to the VP and forces loyal to the President forced patients to flee from hospitals that came under attack. So, how did hospitals become a target? And is there any hope in sight? Alan Kasujja speaks to Zakaria Mwatia - MSF’s Head of Mission in South Sudan - and Dr Abraham Kuol Nyoun, professor of Political Science at the University of Juba.

The number of African countries now allowing Elon Musk’s company Starlink to provide internet services has been growing rapidly - six have granted permission in 2025 alone. And there are reports that Uganda might be next. Starlink can be cheaper than some traditional internet providers and has been seen as a way to provide internet access to communities that are hard to reach. But does it come at a cost to governments who might have less control over internet access? And what does it mean for local economies if a big, international company has access to the market? Alan Kasujja speaks to Temidayo Onionsun; a Nigerian space scientist, and Juliet Nanfuka, a digital rights activist and member of the African Digital Rights Network.

“90% of Somali people don’t know the value of art. That is the problem.”
Maslah Abdi Dahir has been threatened by the Islamist insurgent group Al Shabaab who believe portraiture is ‘haram’ or forbidden under Islam. Other Somalis have told him art is a waste of time with so many people out of work.
But the Prime Minister spotted and praised his work and he has 250K followers on TikTok.
So what drives the 28 year old founder of Mogadishu’s art centre and school?
For today’s Africa Daily, Peter Musembi speaks with Maslah Abdi Dahir – and one of his students Anisa Abdulahi Farah.
Produced by Mohamed Gabobe in Mogadishu.

The government of Zimbabwe is pressing ahead with compensating white citizens who lost their farms due to the country’s land reform programme.
Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube recently told the media that the time has come. “We struck an agreement a few years back and we have now begun to honour that agreement”
The controversial law, which was introduced in the year 2000, led to at least 4,000 white citizens being kicked out of their farms to make way for their black counterparts. The then president Robert Mugabe argued that he was addressing historical injustices.
During the colonial era, much of the country's best and arable land was reserved for the white population. Black farmers were forced onto marginal areas. But some farmers are rejecting the offer made by president Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government.
Africa Daily’s Mpho Lakaje finds out why this is such a complex matter.
Guests: Ish Mafundikwa, Harry Orphanides, Ben Freeth, Professor Mandivamba Rukuni and Taruvinga Magwiroto

“Immediately you say I am menopausal or I’m approaching 40 years, in our culture they will brand you as an old person.”
Do you know what the menopause and perimenopause are?
It can mean hot flushes, sore limbs, brain fog and depression – but the symptoms are almost as varied as women are. All women will go through it – but many people don’t know anything about it.
Two women on the continent who are determined to change that are Irene Ngadire, head of Menopause Initiative Uganda, and Nigerian Sherry Nwadike, who’s going through the menopause herself.

‘’When the bush is on fire, the chameleon must abandon the walking styles of its ancestors.’’
Save the Children Fund says international aid cuts have significantly impacted school feeding programs in Africa, affecting millions of children who rely on these meals.
Across the continent 86 million children benefit from subsidised programmes which make sure that even those below the poverty line can get at least one nutritious meal a day.
In this episode of Africa Daily podcast Peter Musembi explores new research which suggests ways countries can fund their own programmes – and become more resilient.
He speaks to Betty Kibaara who works on school feeding programmes at the Rockefeller Foundation - which also co-produced the report.

One of the actors in the film is veteran poet and songwriter, Guudey Mohamed Geedi. He plays a man who tries to intervene to stop the owner of the teashop from being killed by a rival clan.
