Doing Business in Africa - Mozambique - Part 1 - Mega Projects and Mining
Doing Business in Africa - Mozambique - Part 1 - Mega Projects and Mining
When Mozambique emerged from a 17 year civil war in 1992, its economy was in tatters, infrastructure had been destroyed and there was no industry to speak of. A peace deal between Frelimo and Renamo, put an end to the conflict. At the same time there were some important developments going on next door. The release of Nelson Mandela from 27 years of imprisonment and the ensuing democracy provided the impetus for further regional stability. And it set the stage for sound macroeconomic reform and rapid growth Mozambique would experience over the next decade.

Segun Gele- Master of Nigeria's Gravity-Defying Headgear
Segun Gele- Master of Nigeria's Gravity-Defying Headgear
Editor's note: CNN Marketplace Africa offers viewers a unique window into African business on and off the continent. This week the show profiles Nigerian businessman Segun Olaleye, commonly known as Segun Gele. He has turned tying Nigerian headwraps into a promising business and an artform. Watch the show on Wednesdays 1845, Saturdays 0715, Sundays 1200 and 0615. (All times GMT) Houston, Texas (CNN) -- Segun Gele, or to use his full name Hakeem Oluwasegun Olaleye, is a man making a name for himself in a woman's world. The Houston-based businessman has made an artform out of tying a gele -- the gravity-defying headwraps worn by Nigerian women. To meet him is to understand how he became a celebrity in a field only a few years in the making. He's not only a vivacious self-promoter; he's also clearly thrilled to find himself making money doing something that comes so naturally to him. Watching Segun Gele whip the material into graceful folds and arcs in less than five minutes, you know he is the master. Geles come in different fabrics such as damask, brocade and "aso-oke" (hand-woven fabrics popular for Yoruba special occasions in Nigeria). The most popular fabric among Nigerian women is a metallic fabric made from jacquard. They have been worn by Nigerian women for generations, but in recent years has become the ultimate fashion accessory for important parties and events in the US, something that Segun Gele partially credits himself for. He says when he moved to Houston <b>...</b>

The purpose of this documentary and the series of Bridging The Gap Between History & Hip-Hop is to spark conversation amongst youth and adults alike to look deeper into the stories about American history that are not often told. We want our youth who are influenced by the culture of hip-hop to learn from Americas past to help shape the future for themselves and their peers in Hip-Hop Culture. In Bridging The Gap Between History & Hip-Hop: Black Wall Street, Greenwood Tulsa, Oklahoma 1921 we introduce the story told by a group of successful African Americans, of a 36-square block section of North Tulsa, Oklahoma where over 600 thriving African American businesses prospered. Numerous educated African American doctors, lawyers, teachers, business owners, oil men and entrepreneurs actually controlled their own destinies in a society that prevented them from venturing into other parts of the city. Strict Jim Crow laws were set-up and made it illegal for African Americans to go into other parts of the city, except to work for a White family or business. Curfew laws were set up and were strictly enforced. At one point, something fascinating began to happen - the black dollar was circulating throughout the African American community numerous times.

Black Millionaires - South Africa
Black Millionaires - South Africa
Dec 1996 As South Africa adopts affirmative action policies, we profile some of the blacks who have overcome racial inequality. Half of South Africa's 30 million blacks live below the poverty line. Despite this depressing statistic, a few break the trend. Black millionaires! Having acquired his wealth during apartheid, businessman Richard Maponya is the richest black in the country. Emerging from his opulent villa he reflects on the turbulent times and his success in gatecrashing the horse racing set. Sam Tsima, winner of a 1988 study scholarship, is now the manager of the biggest bank in South Africa. Fighting for black rights, he teaches German twice a week to youngsters from Soweto. Many feel betrayed when rich blacks enjoy the spoils and move to wealthy suburbs. Yvonne Chaka-Chaka, singer and businesswoman, justifies her extravagant lifestyle as the result of dedication and hard work. Clapping and swaying to the music at a dinner-dance, she serenades the most successful of all black South Africans - Nelson Mandela.

Experts Link East Africa Drought to La Niña in the Pacific
Experts Link East Africa Drought to La Niña in the Pacific
This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http East Africa's drought is the worst in sixty years. Scientists say the dry conditions in the Horn of Africa are at least partly the result of an event half a world away. The event is called La Niña, which means "little girl" in Spanish. A La Niña begins when waters become cooler than normal in the eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator. Changes in wind currents can then affect weather around the world. A related event, called an El Niño, happens when the waters become unusually warm. La Niñas and El Niños happen about every three to five years. The latest La Niña began in July of last year and ended in May. The conditions can last for up to two years.Wassila Thiaw studies Africa for the Climate Prediction Center at the National Weather Service in the United States. With a La Niña, Mr. Thiaw says the easterly winds that are supposed to bring moisture into East Africa are reduced. And when that happens, rainfall is reduced.Starting late last year, rains that were supposed to fall over Somalia, southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya failed. That part of the Horn of Africa has a second rainy season during March, April and May. Mr. Thiaw says that one failed, too, but "probably mostly due to the atmospheric conditions that prevailed at that time." He says La Niña conditions might begin again by the end of this year. And if that happens, he says, then the October-through-December rainy season <b>...</b>
