Lazarus Chakwera Ex-preacher Turned Malawi apos;s New President

2020-07-21T10:16:36Z

LachlanTalbert:

Lazarus Chakwera led Malawi's oldest party MCP back from the wilderness to become the country's new president Malawi's new President Lazarus Chakwera is a former evangelical preacher who says he ventured into politics to answer God's call. "One day God spoke to my heart, and God was not saying I'm pulling you out of ministry, God was saying I'm extending your ministry so that you are able to pastor a whole nation," he said in a recent video clip released during the electoral campaign. Chakwera, 65, has for the past seven years led Malawi's oldest party, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] which ruled the country from 1964 to 1994 under dictator Hastings Banda's one-party rule. Chakwera led the MCP in 2014's general election, coming second to Peter Mutharika in the presidential vote. Ahead of last year's election, the MCP had lost the previous four presidential elections since 1994, but Chakwera made great efforts to rebrand the party, breaking away from Banda's iron-fisted rule and re-energising its base. After [http://photobucket.com/images/Chakwera%20lost Chakwera lost] last year's vote to 79-year-old Mutharika by a narrow margin, he launched what was to become a historic legal challenge. That election was overturned by Malawi's top court which found widespread irregularities, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali từ hà nội] including the use of correction fluid to tamper with result sheets. The judgement shook the African continent, where incumbents rarely lose elections, let alone through the courts. - 'The people want change' - A re-run election was ordered for June 23 and Chakwera swept to victory, winning more than 58 percent of the vote according to the election commission. "The people want change. They're demanding change and they see us as the face of change," Chakwera told AFP. For the re-run poll, he obtained the high-profile support of Vice President Saulos Chilima, former president Joyce Banda and several other small political parties. In his inaugural speech on Sunday, Chakwera pledged a government "that serves not... rules; a government that inspires not infuriates". "A government that listens not a government that shouts, a government that fights for you and not against you," he said after he was sworn in. Chakwera was born in a village near the capital Lilongwe with no electricity or running water, to a subsistence farmer whose two elder sons died in infancy. He was named Lazarus after the biblical character who was raised from the dead. He took degrees in philosophy and theology, and was president of the Malawi Assemblies of God from 1989 to 2013 before becoming MCP's leader. For [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali] many years he was active in the country's respected Public Affairs Committee (PAC) a religious-based civic rights grouping, as a good governance advocate. "He was not only a person from the church community in terms of him leading a particular denomination but he participated in various issues of advocacy and good governance," Malawi Council of Churches secretary general Gilford Matonga told AFP. Chakwera always signed off his election campaign rallies with a prayer. The new president, who speaks with a strong American accent, says he loves reading and music -- traditional, Western, country and gospel. "I'm a very quiet person," he said in a recent interview with AFP. "I love to sing even when I am by myself, in the shower," he said, adding "I used to sing gospel". He has four children with his wife Monica.

LGBTQ Americans Adjust Pride Celebrations In A Time Of Pandemic

By Maria Caspani NEW YORK, June 27 (Reuters) - Diana and Jillian Rosile of Denver this year would have marked their first Pride celebration as an out queer couple since Diana, a transgender woman, changed her legal name this month. But as the relentless coronavirus pandemic forced Colorado's Pride events to go virtual, the young software engineers had to shelve their plans.

Still, "canceling" Pride was not an option, said Cathy Renna, director of communications at the National LGBTQ Task Force. "Our community just said, 'A year without Pride is not acceptable - let's find a way to try and create an experience online'," she said. "And in some ways, it's allowed an accessibility to Pride that we didn't have before." Millions of people from every corner of the world are expected to tune in on Saturday to Global Pride, a 24-hour virtual broadcast that organizers say could become the largest LGBTQ event ever. Chazzie Grosshandler, a 14-year-old transgender activist, would have attended her first Pride parade in New York City on Sunday. Instead, she will follow the event online from her home in Chicago.

"I think we all should take pride in who we are, regardless of our skin color, but it just makes me feel prouder," he said. "Now I feel more empowered to stand my ground." Bridgeforth and his husband Roland Ducharme, 60, have been attending Pride events together since they met at a gay bar in Baltimore in 1994. They took part in many Pride parades across the country over the years as they moved frequently due to Ducharme's job with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. In recent years, they favored smaller gatherings with friends in the gay community in Westfield, Massachusetts, but this year things will be different. "I'm not sure if anything has been planned" locally for Pride this year, Bridgeforth said. "I don't think so because we were all very cautious" of the coronavirus threat.

Activists lobbied for Disney to make over the attraction first launched in California in 1989, because its music, characters and location are all drawn from Disney's racially problematic movie, 1946's Song of the South.

While HBO Max and Sky aren't targeted at children, Disney Plus is designed to be a family-friendly hub. Some argue that when Disney Plus launched in November, the company could have done more to address the context of its older films for the children watching them. "It is tricky," Balanzategui says, when it comes to the Disney Plus disclaimers. "Disney could have used stronger language which would more proactively invite a conversation around the context of these caricatures." Disney didn't respond to a request for comment.

Some worry this is problematic for children who are dropped in front of cartoons with "outdated depictions," because they could imbibe certain prejudices. "These shouldn't be watched by children by themselves," says Daryl Sparkes, senior lecturer of media studies and production at the University of Southern Queensland, "because children are like little sponges and they soak up attitudes and feelings and opinions." A possible scenario when children watch older cartoons on Disney Plus is they don't notice the disclaimer at all. These messages appear only in the movie's description, not as a separate tag inside the movie window. It could just as easily go unnoticed by parents as well. Since children aren't yet able to spot questionable cultural stereotypes, they shouldn't watch the Disney cartoons alone, Sparkes says. Parents should pull up a pillow and watch alongside them, explaining how once upon a time that was how people used to think.

These movies are artifacts of a shared animation and cultural history. "We don't want to just edit out the confronting parts and pretend they never existed."

Young Americans Turn Out To Protest. Democrats Hope They Will Vote ...

2020-07-20T06:05:26Z

LachlanTalbert:

By Michael Martina and John Whitesides June 26 (Reuters) - Quintez Brown took to the streets in Kentucky to join many Americans in protesting against racial injustice after the death of George Floyd, a Black man in police custody last month. The 19-year-old student at the University of Louisville, who is Black, also texted voters in support of Charles Booker, a Black Democratic state lawmaker running for the U.S. Senate. "The protests showed the importance of having someone in a political office who can actually advocate for us and make a change," Brown said, adding it was his first time working on a political campaign. The uprising after Floyd's death under the knee of a white police officer on May 25 has helped fuel a groundswell of political energy, spurring new voter registrations, record turnout in Georgia and Kentucky primaries and a string of victories for a younger generation of candidates of color in Tuesday's elections. Democrats hope the enthusiasm can be [http://www.ehow.com/search.html?s=sustained sustained] until the Nov. 3 general election, when former Vice President Joe Biden will challenge Republican President Donald Trump in a race that could hinge on the turnout of voters of color and young people. Biden, whose foundering campaign was rescued by mostly older Black voters in South Carolina's primary in February, wants their strong support against Trump. It will be crucial in battleground states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, particularly after the first dip in Black voter turnout in 20 years contributed to Democrat Hillary Clinton's loss to Trump in 2016. Biden also hopes to boost turnout among young voters, who often participate at lower rates than other ages. In 2016, voters between 18 and 29 had a turnout of just 46%, compared to 71% for those 65 years and older, Census figures show. That figure dropped from 2008's historic election, when younger voters had a 51% turnout. "There is not a part of the Democratic electorate that is not activated right now. And that energy is going to spill over into the general election," said Matt Erwin, a Kentucky-based Democratic strategist. Some groups that work to register voters have seen signs of that energy. Voto Latino, which looks to boost turnout for young Hispanics, said it has registered 94,513 voters so far in June, compared to 10,548 voters in May. About 78% of new registrants were between the ages of 18 and 34, the group said. Rock the Vote, which works to boost the political power of young people, said it had more than 183,000 new registrations so far in June. Four years ago this month, it had fewer than 35,000. Jesse Moore, a Rock the Vote board member, said a new generation of voters is asking about their district attorneys and police chiefs. "People are jaded about the presidency, but the changes they are demanding are almost completely driven by local officials," Moore said. Whether that energy will transform into Biden support remains to be seen. He is considering a Black running mate and has backed police reforms, including a ban on chokeholds. Biden was also criticized during the Democratic primary campaign for his role as a U.S. senator in writing the 1994 crime bill, which critics say led to high incarceration rates that unfairly hit minorities, and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] some activists have pushed him to offer a broader criminal justice plan in the wake of the protests. "Up-ballot candidates can benefit from this energy and movement, but only if they align themselves with what the movement has demanded - bold change," said Victoria Burton-Harris, a Black Democrat who is running for prosecutor in Wayne County, Michigan, an important battleground state. Still, Democrats are hopeful that rising political activism from young and minority voters will help Biden. According to a June 10-16 Reuters/Ipsos poll, Biden led Trump by 58 percentage points among African Americans, 23 points among Hispanics, and 20 points among people between 18-34 years of age. Nationally, he had a 13-point lead over Trump, the poll showed. "I think they are looking for someone who is going to hear them, but also who is going to exhibit the leadership they want at this moment. We would argue that´s Joe Biden," said Symone Sanders, a senior Biden campaign adviser. Courtney Parella, a Trump campaign spokeswoman, said Biden was "trying to avoid an examination of his nearly five-decade long political career, a record that undoubtably failed to support minority communities and is now failing to defend our men and women in blue." RECORD TURNOUT Democrats have been heartened by strong turnout in Georgia's June 9 elections, where the party broke the primary record set in 2008 despite a host of problems with voting machines, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali] fewer polling places and long lines. Kentucky's elections on Tuesday also set a primary turnout record, helped by a competitive race between Booker and well-funded establishment favorite Amy McGrath for the right to challenge Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell in November. The race is too close to call with absentee ballots pending. A wave of other young candidates of color have scored primary victories this year. In New York, Jamaal Bowman, a Black school principal running in his first political campaign, beat 31-year veteran Democratic Representative Eliot Engel on Tuesday. "People finally understand that if we want to change the laws, we have to change the lawmakers," said Quentin James, founder of the Collective PAC, a group working for the election of progressive Black officials. Jecorey Arthur, 28, a Black musician and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] educator running for the Louisville Metro Council, said when he announced his campaign late last year he was told "don't talk about race so much, people aren't ready to have that conversation." A few months later, once the street protests for racial justice began, he heard a different tune. "It was like the alarm was going off and you couldn't press snooze no matter what," Arthur said. "I went from beating that racial justice drum by myself to being in a marching band." (Editing by Soyoung Kim and Aurora Ellis)

US Police Registry Would Fail Without Changes In States

2020-07-20T02:54:14Z

LachlanTalbert:

HOUSTON (AP) - Without major changes in almost every state, a national police misconduct database like what the White House and Congress have proposed after George Floyd's death would fail to account for thousands of problem officers. Lawmakers nationwide are struggling with how to reform policing following massive demonstrations, increased calls for change and a stark shift in public opinion on the topic. Democrats want to create a policing registry that would catalog disciplinary records, firings and misconduct complaints; President Donald Trump's executive order calls on the attorney general to create a "database to coordinate the sharing of information" between law enforcement agencies. Any eventual registry that emerges would depend on states reporting into it. But states and police departments track misconduct very differently, and some states currently don't track it at all. The result is a lack of reliable official data and a patchwork system in which officers can stay employed even after being arrested or convicted of a crime. In the wake of Floyd's death, lawmakers in several states have proposed bolstering their states' powers to identify and remove problem officers. "I think the politicians have been reluctant to take a step that might be perceived as anti-police," Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said. Yost and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, both Republicans, have proposed giving their state´s police licensing agency the power to remove officers from law enforcement for racial profiling or other misconduct that doesn´t lead to a criminal charge, a power many states already have.

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin File) "The potential for reform is better than it´s been in my professional lifetime," Yost said. "That doesn´t mean it´s a certainty on how much we´re going to get, but there´s a genuine interest and willingness to look at these things seriously and honestly." One measure of police misconduct at a state level is decertification. Almost all states issue licenses to police officers by mandating standards and training. Most states can decertify an officer´s license to [http://www.usatoday.com/search/prevent/ prevent] a bad one from working in law enforcement. The Associated Press this month asked all 50 states to provide the number of officers they decertified for the last five full years. Georgia said it decertified 3,239 officers between 2015 and 2019. Minnesota, where Floyd died after a white police officer pressed a knee on his neck for several minutes, decertified 21. Maryland decertified just one officer. Minnesota revokes an officer´s license automatically only after the officer is convicted of a felony. Georgia can take an officer´s license on several grounds, including misuse of force, committing a theft that isn´t prosecuted or lying in an internal investigation. The suburban Minneapolis police officer who killed Philando Castile, a Black man, during a 2016 traffic stop was never decertified. The officer, Jeronimo Yanez, was acquitted of second-degree manslaughter and later left his department under a settlement. He is not working in law enforcement elsewhere in Minnesota, according to the state licensing board. A federal requirement to collect police misconduct data already exists. According to criminal justice experts, the Justice Department has never met a requirement in the landmark 1994 crime bill - signed by then-President Bill Clinton, a Democrat - that it would "acquire data about the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers" and publish an annual summary. Then-President Barack Obama created a task force on policing that in 2015 recommended the creation of a police misconduct registry, but no action was taken. And the outlook for a policing bill is newly uncertain after Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked a Republican proposal from moving forward. The House approved a far-reaching police overhaul from Democrats on Thursday, but it has almost zero chance of becoming law. In the meantime, the most complete information on officer shootings, sexual assaults and arrests has been compiled by university researchers and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] news organizations. In 2015, The Associated Press found that nearly 1,000 officers had been decertified across the country over six years for sexual assault or other forms of sexual misconduct. The AP's investigation uncovered examples of officers who were accused of sexual misconduct at one agency, fired or allowed to resign, then rehired in law enforcement and accused of misconduct again. Five states - California, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali] Rhode Island - have no decertification process at all. Neither does the federal government for most of its estimated 130,000 law enforcement officers, including agents in the FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Border Patrol. The Department of Justice declined to comment on how it would implement Trump's executive order. For now, states voluntarily submit the names of officers to a private database called the National Decertification Index that police agencies can use in hiring. But Georgia doesn't submit names to the index because it is "not a governmental institution," according to Ryan Powell, deputy director of the state's standards board. Meanwhile, Minnesota and almost all other states do. The index was created and updated with Department of Justice grant funding but last received federal money in 2005, said Mike Becar, director of the organization that runs the index. He runs the database on roughly $1,000 a month. "The federal government could apply a lot more pressure," Becar said. "The biggest hurdle is the 50 states with their own individual laws and regulations and legislatures." In the meantime, the attorneys general of California and New Jersey, both Democrats, announced they support creating a system to decertify police officers in their states. And New York, which implemented police decertification in 2016, this month repealed a law that shielded police misconduct records from public disclosure. Even if an eventual national registry of officers were incomplete, it would still be helpful, said Yost, the Ohio attorney general. Ohio decertified 93 officers between 2015 and 2019. "Some information is better than no information," Yost said. "Because the thing is hard doesn´t mean we shouldn´t start and do what we can." ___ Associated Press reporters Stefanie Dazio in Los Angeles and Colleen Long in Washington contributed to this report.

Privatization South African Economic Remedy

2020-07-19T23:27:46Z

LachlanTalbert:

Privatization! South African economic remedy! By Marco Roodt (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); Category: Comment article (Article 1 of 2) About the author: Marco Roodt completed doctoral studies in South Africa in the ninety eighties. Roodt studied communication of organizational change to complex stakeholders. His focus was on commercialization and privatization during South Africa's pre-1994 intended economic deregulation and economic liberation. Roodt says much can be learned from plans which never materialized as a result of a changing political landscape! Election of Cyril Ramaphosa to state president of South Africa could be the most opportune moment to commence the privatization of state owned enterprises ('SOEs') in South Africa. This comes in the wake of troubled economic years, and downgrade by two rating agencies; Standard and Poor and Finch. Moody equally influential, recently graded SA neutral status. A downgrade to sub-investment grade ("junk" rating) by Moody would for instance have seen South Africa removed from Citi's World Government Bond Index. Removal could have triggered up to R100-billion ($9 billion) in asset sales by foreign investors. Had it taken place, other calamities might have followed. Moody based, one could presume, its rating on predominantly the political leadership shift which took place in SA. In light of the latest grading by Moody SA's National Treasury made known that there are plans to stabilize debt, revamp State Owned Enterprises and boost growth in sectors such as agriculture and tourism. South Africa, it was said by SA's national treasury, will consider partially privatizing struggling State-owned companies as part of wide-ranging reforms to be set in motion by president Cyril Ramaphosa. Ramaphosa replacing Zacob Zuma (state president ex-officio), signaled the advent of positive political changes in SA. The shift attracted wide investor community attention locally and worldwide; despite investors being well aware of the country's economic and social situation (defined by very high poverty levels and unemployment). Would the political shift be a silver bullet to attract new investment and prevent investment flight? Investors and the financial world globally, are not unaware of reality or naive when picking an investment destination. They are insistent on [http://www.cafemom.com/search/index.php?keyword=risk%20criteria risk criteria] and well prepared when they decide to invest or divest. They would as in the case of SA, expect macro- economic restructuring beyond plans only before considering sizeable capital investment; and, involvement in foreign direct investment. They also are insistent on viability immediately and long term! Capital and foreign direct investment (FDI) could be stimulated by privatization in SA. SA has many state owned enterprises whom are all already in place infra structurally and operating. Many do not show profit on an ongoing basis. Privatization could change the situation particularly when you consider the capital injection which it would bring and innovative changes by co-owners of the enterprise. Global investors know in the true sense of the word, time is money. Investors are not going to sit on capital waiting for an opportunity. They want an opportunity to come their way and quickly. SA government should, while turnaround, corporatization and commercialization takes its course, to save the SOE's from liquidation (as in the case of arms giant DENEL currently), commence with the preparation and passing of privatization legislation as a matter of urgency. How could all of this work? Perhaps learning from the past, as far back as the ninety-eighties, would provide some insight into the need for South Africa to privatize its very large state owned enterprises. The current SA government can learn from the past by considering the reasons privatization was never driven to some conclusion after it was gaining momentum in the late 1980's. Much can be learned from the now late Wim de Villiers leadership on privatization and commissions led by him, dating back to the ninety-eighties. Government of the day realized that the way SOE's are run and financed were not sustainable. Obviously in addition to de Villiers, over at least the past decade, more lessons can be learned from comment and research by proponents, scholars and experts on the topic of privatization in South Africa. Starting with Eskom as the most controversial state owned company currently!, Drawing from 'The political economy of power sector reform in South Africa' by Anton Eberhard, one learns about the Electricity Act which was amended in 1971 to allow ESCOM (today ESKOM) to retain substantially more earnings to build up a Capital Development Fund subject to the approval of the state president. Consequences of the amendment were large price increases and disquiet amongst stakeholders, who thought ESCOM's management was arrogant and unaccountable, leading eventually, to a government inquiry in 1983. As early as 1983-4, following the enquiry led by de Villiers, the De Villiers Commission criticised ESCOM's governance, management, electricity forecasting methods, investment decisions, and accounting. Recommendations by the commission led to changes in the Electricity Act in 1985 and to new Eskom and Electricity Acts in 1987, which in many ways paved the way to exploring possible privatization of the electricity state owned enterprise. In 1988, the first Eskom privatization study was undertaken. It was commissioned by government. Managed and led by Eskom assisted by a committee of government and industry stakeholders, the study was initiated at a time when the state was reviewing the performance of its SOE's. Key to the findings of the study was the recommendation that Eskom be privatized in its entirety but did not comment on the possible introduction of competition to the monopoly. Competition could have been a perfect opportunity to attract foreign direct investment much desired by government then. All will recall that the political landscape, soon after, started changing with the National Party government and the African National Congress (ANC) dialogue on South Africa's political future. Political agenda topped any further consideration of privatization and this would continue more or less to today, twenty five years on! Sanctions against South Africa also start taking its toll finally leading to a country facing an acute capital shortage, which forced the government to prohibit further foreign borrowing by industrial concerns and to regulate capital investment throughout the economy. Capital spending by state enterprises came under scrutiny. In 1985 De Villiers was asked to conduct a study similar to the Eskom one, of the South African Transport Services (SATS incorporating Rail, SAA, Harbours, Road and Pipe along with many subsidiaries,). In his report De Villiers pointed out the need for restructuring SATS to enable the service to operate like a private, investor-owned company, recommending SATS become a commercial enterprise under government ownership, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] earning an appropriate return on capital and managing its assets towards a better return. Parliament accepted the recommendations of the De Villiers Report in 1986. Parliament also added its own recommendation. SATS (to operate as Transnet Ltd in future), [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] was mandated in addition to de Villiers recommendation, to act like a private corporation and to reorganize as a private corporation within four years. Government would be the sole shareholder. Transnet Ltd was founded on the understanding that government is the sole shareholder, but might eventually opt to sell it to the private sector. Transnet plans - as with Eskom - were shelved due to political dialogue becoming the agenda of the day. One can speculate intelligently, had Transnet gone full out with its plans, free from political agenda, South African Airways which was the airway division of the holding company, would have sold off then. Instead to this day it remains a debt on the government's balance sheet! Imagine the de Villiers recommendations on Eskom and Transnet privatization were realized, what would the probable gains have been? Post the de Villiers era of exploring privatization, in 1999, the post-1994 government Department of Public Enterprises declared that priority would be given to the restructuring of the four biggest SOE's: Telkom (telecommunications), Eskom (electricity), Transnet (transport) and Denel (defence production). Then, collectively, these four state owned enterprises, controlled 90 percent of the assets of the top 30 South African SOE's, provided 86 percent of the turnover and 94 percent of the net income earned. This provides perspective on the other current smaller state enterprises (of which there are a few hundred), in terms of turnover and income. Technically speaking most of these top four state owned enterprises are currently in financial trouble and in need of government support through guarantees and loans to enabling them to fulfil their roles in the South African economy and across borders. Their importance should not to be underestimated. Neither risk to the country, should they continue on their current path! They dominate key strategic sectors of the economy and have the potential to undermine overall industrial policy, economic progress and national well-being; or play a strong role in government plans to grow the economy as with the case of Eskom! Why could privatization help prevent state owned enterprises [http://dict.leo.org/?search=slipping%20backward slipping backward] some more? Data and other evidence on how privatization has impact on the privatized business bottom line and efficiency are readily available. A leaf could be taken from British privatization. British privatization has been described by many as the most sustained and consistent singe-minded pursuits of public policy in modern times! Privatization in Britain had to accomplish exactly what is now needed in South Africa. Needed are the improvement of efficiency of state owned enterprise, management of resources and free play of market forces in the economy. Through privatization Britain turned itself from what some commentators described 'a lazy socialistic bureaucracy', into a country who later took its place as a leader in the global economy. British privatization had the desired impact not only in the economic sphere on the country. State owned enterprises making massive losses - costing the British economy billions- were turned into efficient enterprises contributing gradually but surely to the taxation base. Popular capitalism replaced socialism through public shareholding and employee shareholding. Privatization raised much need capital for government. In the case of South Africa one of the major motivations behind the 1989 privatization of Iscor was the prospect of state revenue. Proceeds from the selling of British state assets generated capital to pay debts. Gradually the British economy also benefited by government spending less on subsidies. British regulatory regime changed with privatization, enabling transparency on past cross-subsidisation practices. British public who had generally speaking a great level of antipathy towards poor performing government enterprises welcomed privatization. Politically, privatization compelled parties to rethink policies and what is in the interest of the country, while maintaining their political support among electorate which now had new perceptions of the reigning party. Privatization was widely accepted by the media who gave their support through positive coverage and comment on success stories. Labour Unions, considering its influence on the pre-privatization economy, started playing a smaller political role as they had to weight the economic benefits privatization brought to members, against losing the member. In other words, labour unions were forced to revise what they had to offer their members beyond political and workplace promises only All brings one to the topic of the South African government, prior to Ramaphosa, seemingly lack of will to take the privatization-bull by the horns; and, the culture of holding on to failing state owned enterprises at the cost of the tax payer and the running of an efficient economy? It would be insightful to get reasons for this. One can speculate about a few reasons. Ideology and the historical bond between the current government, labour unions and the SACP would always play a role when resistance against privatization is discussed. It is time a national multi stakeholder debate starts around the cost to economy as a result of ideology and the historical bond. The regulated cost of labour versus individuals' private rights to sell his/her service at the price he wants, within the context of draconic labour acts and overregulation of the employment market, should top the agenda! Failing governments resort to central planning and control of the economy. Privatization does exactly the opposite. It opens up the economy where expertise, capital and a variety of stakeholders, including government, grow the economy and production along with consumption can be regulated more efficiently by the market and price mechanisms. South Africa has a bloated civil service which now steadily are becoming unaffordable. A result of believe that the country is a social-democracy and the state should be the creator of jobs. Government later admitted they could not be the sole creator of jobs and reaffirmed the role private sector should play. This coincide with the role privatization could play. More to the point, at present more than two million of people are employed collectively by central government, provincial government, local authorities and a number of statutory bodies. As a result, ability of the civil service to resist privatization and deregulation should not be under-estimated. Government is well aware of possible resistance by civil servants, but, what will happen if the day arrives when salaries cannot be honored, Or slightly less drastic but serious, as former and now late president PW Botha did in 1988, announce salary increase freezes of all public servants. Unemployment! South Africa has an employment crisis. Many millions of able people cannot be accommodated in the economy, resulting in them being dependent on some form of government subsidy. Would privatization aid in addressing unemployment? One is confident it would, but not in isolation. Government would always play a role as the custodian of many billions of rand, as the most recent national budget of R1.2 trillion shows. Huge amounts financing development projects could be contracted to private suppliers of services with the proviso the unemployed are taken in as temporary employees at least, as a departure towards more permanent employment. Addressing the need for privatization, government seemingly is not taking it seriously enough, despite the likes of Eskom and the national electricity crisis. One should spend time on what the entire process of privatization entail (theme for a follow-up article) within the context of evidence to commence as a matter of urgency; and the obstacles in the way! Government need not look far for candidates to privatize, be it in its entirety; or with themselves a minority shareholder at what could be 49 % of the stake.

Lazarus Chakwera Ex-preacher Turned Malawi apos;s New President

Lazarus Chakwera led Malawi's oldest party MCP back from the wilderness to become the country's new president Malawi's new President Lazarus Chakwera is a former evangelical preacher who says he ventured into politics to answer God's call. "One day God spoke to my heart, and God was not saying I'm pulling you out of ministry, God was saying I'm extending your ministry so that you are able to pastor a whole nation," he said in a recent video clip released during the electoral campaign.

Chakwera led the MCP in 2014's general election, coming second to Peter Mutharika in the presidential vote. Ahead of last year's election, the MCP had lost the previous four presidential elections since 1994, but Chakwera made great efforts to rebrand the party, breaking away from Banda's iron-fisted rule and re-energising its base. After Chakwera lost last year's vote to 79-year-old Mutharika by a narrow margin, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] he launched what was to become a historic legal challenge. That election was overturned by Malawi's top court which found widespread irregularities, including the use of correction fluid to tamper with result sheets. The judgement shook the African continent, where incumbents rarely lose elections, let alone through the courts. - 'The people want change' - A re-run election was ordered for June 23 and Chakwera swept to victory, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali] winning more than 58 percent of the vote according to the election commission. "The people want change. They're demanding change and they see us as the face of change," Chakwera told AFP. For the re-run poll, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] he obtained the high-profile support of Vice President Saulos Chilima, former president Joyce Banda and several other small political parties. In his inaugural speech on Sunday, Chakwera pledged a government "that serves not... rules; a government that inspires not infuriates". "A government that listens not a government that shouts, a government that fights for you and not against you," he said after he was sworn in. Chakwera was born in a village near the capital Lilongwe with no electricity or running water, to a subsistence farmer whose two elder sons died in infancy. He was named Lazarus after the biblical character who was raised from the dead. He took degrees in philosophy and theology, and was president of the Malawi Assemblies of God from 1989 to 2013 before becoming [http://www.purevolume.com/search?keyword=MCP%27s%20leader MCP's leader]. For many years he was active in the country's respected Public Affairs Committee (PAC) a religious-based civic rights grouping, as a good governance advocate. "He was not only a person from the church community in terms of him leading a particular denomination but he participated in various issues of advocacy and good governance," Malawi Council of Churches secretary general Gilford Matonga told AFP. Chakwera always signed off his election campaign rallies with a prayer. The new president, who speaks with a strong American accent, says he loves reading and music -- traditional, Western, country and gospel. "I'm a very quiet person," he said in a recent interview with AFP. "I love to sing even when I am by myself, in the shower," he said, adding "I used to sing gospel". He has four children with his wife Monica.

Woman Who Was Snatched As A Baby Realises TV Drama Is About Her

LachlanTalbert:

Sitting on the sofa to watch TV one night in her [/news/new_zealand/index.html New Zealand] home, Abbie Sundgren was transfixed by a drama about the kidnap of a newborn baby. Within seconds of the programme starting, the 25-year-old realised that the plot was the story of the first 17 days of her own life. Not surprisingly, she binge-watched all six episodes. Today, Abbie works in the beauty industry in Auckland. But back in 1994, her story - one of the most audacious kidnappings in British history - had the country on tenterhooks. Anguish: Karen Humphries with newborn Abbie. For 17 days, her parents Karen and Roger Humphries, did not know if their daughter was alive or dead Princess Diana even sent a goodwill message to her distraught family as they waited for news. Day after day there were headlines about the hunt for ‘Baby Abbie', the little girl stolen from Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre three and a half hours after her birth. For 17 days, her parents Karen and Roger Humphries, did not know if their daughter was alive or dead. All they had was a brief memory and a photo of mum's first cuddle, taken by the proud father. Eventually, Abbie was returned to them and the story unfolded about how she had been snatched by a disturbed 22-year-old who had faked a pregnancy to save a failing relationship. Laura Carmichael as the baby-snatcher in the drama the story inspired. The actress, best know as Lady Edith in Downton Abbey, has won plaudits for the role Dressed as a nurse in a pale blue uniform, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali từ hà nội] Julie Kelley took newborn Abbie from her father, telling him the child needed a hearing test. Abbie's mother had briefly left the maternity ward to make a phone call and by the time she returned, Abbie was gone. Speaking to The Mail on Sunday about the TV series which is about to be screened on BBC, Abbie reveals that, rather than being traumatised by reliving this confrontation with her past, she loved the screen version of her kidnapping. ‘As I am sure you can imagine, this does bring up a lot of emotions for my family,' she said. The Humphries, who have an older son and younger daughter, wanted a fresh start and emigrated to New Zealand when Abbie was ten. They bought a rural five-acre plot from where Roger set up his own plumbing business and midwife Karen continued her career. They never hid from Abbie what had happened to her but nor did they let it define her. Previously, Abbie has said: ‘My parents told me all about it as I grew up, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] but not all in one go.

In 2017, she married her long-time boyfriend Karloss Sundgren in a vineyard ceremony. Speaking a decade ago, her mother Karen said she sometimes tried to forget the name of her daughter's kidnapper because she was determined the woman would not be part of the family's life forever. ‘I'd had those first three hours with Abbie, cuddling her and feeding her,' she recalled. ‘The bonding had begun. It was a terrible wrench to lose her so quickly, but I knew I had to be strong and believe that I would get her back.' However, with the new TV drama, called The Secrets She Keeps, on primetime TV across the world, it seems clear they cannot escape Kelley completely. The series is based on the 2017 novel of the same name by crime writer Michael Robotham who, at the time of Abbie's kidnapping, was an executive on The Mail on Sunday.

The actress, best know as Lady Edith in Downton Abbey, has won plaudits for the role.

On a final raid, she was identified, rescued and reunited with her parents at the hospital from which she had been snatched. Kelley was found to have a severe personality disorder and put on probation for three years. She was able to forge a new life in the Midlands and had a family of her own. The Secrets She Keeps starts on BBC1 on Monday, July 6 at 9pm.

Nelufar added to FEMAIL: 'It was one of the hardest conversations of my life. 'It's so easy for people who haven't seen war to talk about it in their land. I had my home, I had my family, my work, my status, my pride and I lost it... Nelufar's mother Patuni 'We had managed to go our entire lives avoiding talking about the war, the traffickers bringing us here and what the three of us (my sister Mursal was with us too by now) had gone through. 'I have interviewed hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people in my life. This was the hardest interview I have ever done'. In the podcast, Nelufar's mother Patuni tells her: 'It's so easy for people who haven't seen war to talk about it in their land, I had my home, I had my family, my work, my status, my pride and I lost it. I'm nothing here, I survive for you guys.' In her podcast series, Doha Debate's Course Correction, she interviews her mother and learns of the perilous journey her family took to claim asylum in the UK, and discovers smugglers told them they were going to Germany, before landing at Heathrow. (She is pictured aged one in Pakistan) Breaking down into tears, Patuni tells her daughter: 'As you see right now as a journalist around the world — and you have been in some war zones yourself — that we were running from one door to another from one place to another. Don't — it is very hard to talk about, Nelufar. I can't do it. Patuni, who works as a teaching assistant at a local school teaching English to refugee children, worked as a civil engineer and often travelled abroad with her friends before turf wars between different religious and political groups broken out in her native Afghanistan. Nelufar, 32, was trafficked from Kabul to London as an infant, but is now thriving as a broadcaster Nelufar told FEMAIL: 'We had to get out. So we did. My mum made the [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/perilous%20journey?s=ts perilous journey] east to Pakistan for safety. They then spent five years in Pakistan, where Nelufar wasn't allowed to go to school. 'I remember little bits of that time - like images of myself in our home, wearing a polka-dot white dress. But after years of discrimination and difficulty, my mum knew we couldn't build a life for ourselves. 'I wasn't even allowed to go to school. She says that once again, we sold everything, and paid some smugglers to get us to Germany. This time, we only got as far as Saudi Arabia, where we were stopped by the police'. Despite trauma in her early years, Nel is now a successful broadcaster having began her career in children's television, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali] presenting for CBBC's Newsround. She is pictured working for Doha Debates Nelufar (left), is pictured aged three in Peshawar, Pakistan with two friends Police told Nelufar's family they needed to leave the country within three days or face the death penalty, and they were forced to travel back to Kabul. But soon after they were caught up in a shoot-out in Afghanistan while trying to travel to a village in the north of the country. Patuni tells Nelufar in the podcast: 'I blocked your eyes because there were bodies without heads on the street. There was hands without a body. There were turbans without with the head but no body. It was horrible.' Nelufar added to FEMAIL: 'After the shoot-out, my mum said she knew the war was never going to end. So she made the decision to seek asylum in Europe to start our new new life. So again, she went to the smugglers. 'From a young age I got used to gun-fire, being constantly scared and seeing the pain and worry etched onto my mum's face. While Nel now feels 'proud to be British' she was originally meant to go to Germany, although she didn't discover this until she set out to make her podcast. Nelufar's family then paid a Pakistani smuggler to take them to Germany, but once aboard the plane they discovered they were going to Heathrow. The journalist added this is common for refugees, who are completely at their smuggler's mercy. Speaking about the journey, she added: 'It was tough. We were stranded in several cities and the trip was not straightforward. We ate what we could get our hands on, and by the end of the trip we had little to no money left so it was either going to work out and we were going to get on that flight or we weren't. 'Our journey took us from Kabul, Afghanistan to Peshawar, Pakistan to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and then to London. 'I remember being constantly worried and feeling like this was never going to end. But for my seven-year-old mind it was all just a game.' Now 32, and a UK citizen, Nelufar feels 'proud to be British' and speaks English, Farsi, Hindi and Dari. Nels' new podcast, is sponsored by the Doha Debates, where she now works as a correspondent Nazir Ahmad (Nel's father), baby sister Mursal (left) and Nelufar on the right (age 3), in 1990 She said: 'My life on an estate in North London was blissful. We had everything my mum had risked our lives to get: a home, a job (my mum, whose degree was not validated by universities here in the UK, was a cleaner at a B&B and proud of it) and most importantly, we were safe. 'I remember the first time I went to school as a seven-year-old. 'A friend, who now as a grown woman I still know and love, had no idea how to deal with me, a stranger from a strange place. 'One of my now best friends spent the first break on the playground shouting very slowly at me,"I'm Vicky, who are you… can you speak English?" I think I was as scared of her as she was of me. 'As a refugee fleeing war, persecution and probable death, it was the order, quiet and agreeableness of life in the UK that struck me. 'Everything seemed to have a place, people listened to me and talked back kindly without any resentment or hate that I read and hear about so much now. Nel, who speaks English, Farsi, Hindi and Dari, quickly adjusted to life in the UK as a child Studying at a local school, she soon became set on becoming a journalist. 'I grew up on a steady diet of Saturday morning kids TV. SMTV, Live and Kicking, CBBC were things I binged on and frankly it's where I learned to speak English. I went to a local comprehensive and by the age of 15 I knew what I wanted to be a journalist. 'But it was when I got the job of reporter on the BBC flagship show Newsround that I felt like I had to pinch myself. There I was on set of a show that as a kid I watched with glee. 'I felt like I was giving back. That hopefully there was a little brown girl watching me do my job and thinking - "I want to do that one day". 'It's been challenging in the industry. I remember growing up watching reporters and journalists who looked and sounded nothing like me. 'There would be a tall Oxbridge educated man stood in front of a camera telling me about my own country and I knew it wasn't true, not all true anyway. Nelufar, aged four, is pictured right with her sister Mursal, aged one, (left) in Peshawar, Pakistan 'As a teenager, after I'd seen the Twin Towers come down and the war on terror starting in my birth-land, I felt like I was watching two different realities. 'I'd watch the six o'clock news and see British and international forces fight this ill-planned war on terror in Afghanistan and the anchor would say, "British and American forces took another Afghan city today. Two service persons were injured and there were multiple local casualties." 'Then I'd turn the channel over to watch local Afghan news right after about the same incident and it was a completely different story. 300 dead. 500 injured. A major market shot to bits and mothers wailing the names of their dead children. 'I knew then that I wanted to find a way to tell their stories. The stories of mothers and children that could have been me and my mum.

Speaking at a meeting with diplomats on Thursday, Alexander Lukashenko alleged that "puppet masters" in the two countries are behind those campaigning to run against him in the upcoming election. The president added that "hideous" fake stories about him and his family are being spread in Belarus as part of the meddling campaign. "We will talk about it with (Russian) President (Vladimir) Putin soon, when we meet, but this situation is very complicated. The most sophisticated fake (news) technologies are being used," Lukashenko said. The Kremlin on Thursday rejected the accusations. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia "has never meddled, does not meddle and doesn't plan to meddle" in elections in other countries, and added that Minsk should provide "arguments" in support of the allegations. As the Aug. 9 presidential election approaches, Belarusian authorities have intensified efforts to disrupt the opposition, detaining about 360 opposition activists amid mass protests across the country. They included including popular blogger Sergei Tikhanovski, who was collecting signatures for his wife´s nomination as a presidential candidate. His wife said she was threatened along with their children. Last week, authorities detained Viktor Babariko, a potential presidential candidate and the former head of a Russia-owned bank, Belgazprombank. Babariko, who claimed to have gathered 435,000 [http://statigr.am/tag/signatures signatures] in support of his candidacy - four times more than the minimum needed - is widely seen as the strongest candidate to challenge Lukashenko. Lukashenko, 65, has ruled the nation of 9.5 million with an iron fist since July 1994 and relentlessly cracks down on the political opposition and independent media.

Having her say: Coronation Street legend Thelma Barlow has told how the soap has lost its humour over the years, admitting 'I don't see much to laugh at now' (pictured in 2005) Thelma was known for her comic portrayal of shop worker Mavis with the character sharing many light-hearted moments with pal Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox) in The Kabin.
