The silent recolonisation of #Africa is happening on a mass scale via land grabbing. The new #colonisation is dressed in the language of economic development, but is doing the opposite. There are further plans to ease land ownership laws across the continent to favour foreign multinationals. And the #AU and our own governments are complicit in this plan. What can people do besides protest? The first Africa Conference on #LandGrab is set to take place in South Africa on 27–30 Oct. 2014. What would you like to come out of this? http://bit.ly/1oJ5BX3

They’re building a coal mine WHERE!?
The world’s greatest rhino sanctuary is under threat. A coal mine could be built just 40 metres from Hluhluwe-iMfolozi park. But South Africa has a brand new Mines minister. If enough of us act we can make this the first issue he has to tackle when he takes office! Sign now:
Please sign this petition! We visit the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi park often and in the last couple of years have seen the lights around the park get brighter and closer. The thought of a mine next door really flies in the face of everything that has been done to preserve this beautiful little piece of Africa for the animals! Coal is not an solution!

dynamicafrica: Kenyan artist Michael Soi upsets Chinese...
Kenyan artist Michael Soi upsets Chinese delegation with his art work.
Known for his highly critical socio-political art work, Kenyan artist Michael Soi has “finally drawn the wrath of the Chinese” for his various pieces depicting a less than desirable relationship between Africans - both citizens and politicians alike, and Chinese delegates and businesspeople.
According to Soi, “Four gentlemen and a lady from China walked into my studio and one of them went off about how ungrateful I was to all China is doing for Kenya…These people could not wrap their heads around the fact that I am not grateful for all the ‘good things’ China is doing to Kenya. I told them that I am an artist and therefore I cannot engage them in a political discussion.”
About the relationship with China and African leaders, Soi went on to say: “The IMF and World Bank attach a lot of conditionalities before they give out their aid,” he says. “But the Chinese are giving their money without any conditions. This is one way of abetting impunity among our leaders; that no matter how many people are killed or imprisoned China will still pour in money, money that most likely ends up in people’s pockets and which will be paid by our children in years to come.”
