Bohemian Rhapsody, but in isiZulu by the Ndlovu Youth Choir
The choir brought in isicathamiya harmonies and these incredible rhythms that make the song feel like it actually belongs here. Apparently, it’s the only translated version Queen has ever officially licensed, it took them two years to get the rights and the blessing from Brian May and Roger Taylor.
The idea was to imagine what the song would sound like if Freddie Mercury’s music had stayed on the continent where he was born, Africa. 🌍

I just found this amazing short film from Cape Town about an African penguin that found a group of surfers and seemed to enjoy hanging with them.
Our world is a richer place with smart wildlife living alongside us.

Amid tensions with the West and sanctions over its war in Ukraine, Russia is trying to expand its influence in Africa and is leveraging its old, soft power ties in the absence of any significant economic hard power. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/17/world/politics/russia-money-god-africa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #africa #southafrica #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar
In the late 1980s, as the SADF's defeat in Angola was playing out into the independence of Namibia, there was a rush of "white" #SouthAfrica ns to Lusaka to meet the ANC, which had already been notified that it would be unbanned. A prof who went, on his return, told us students to expect "another comprador regime." Every passing year proves him more right. https://www.opensecrets.org.za/eskoms-r92bn-gift-for-south32/ This unique arrangement, where bauxite is shipped in and smelted with coal-sourced electricity, dates back to apartheid when there was surplus generation capacity.
Guatemala ends 30-year Cuban medical program under US pressure | Al Mayadeen English

"Guatemala's termination forces the withdrawal of 412 healthcare workers serving marginalized communities."
Huge loss for the people, showing that the US really doesn't care about people, only punishing Cuba.
@Miro_Collas How long before #SouthAfrica faces similar pressure? Not only do we have Cuban medics working here, but we have some hundreds of medical students there at any given time.
