Currency usually erases history rather than records it. Coins pass through millions of hands as pure instrument, the faces and dates on them noticed by collectors and almost no one else. South Africa is about to use that same indifferent instrument to do the opposite,...

Calendar Rewritten: Early High Water Could Reshape Victoria Falls’ Tourist Seasons
Every resort town runs on a calendar, and Victoria Falls' calendar has long been clean. A domestic peak around Easter, then a separate international high-water season stretching from roughly May to October once the Zambezi fills. This year the river ignored the diary....
Migrant Entrepreneurs Need Working Capital, Not Only Protection
Public debate about anti-migrant hostility tends to split into two camps: those who call for protection and those who call for enforcement. Both talk about safety. Neither addresses the balance sheet of a trader whose shop has been closed, looted or abandoned, and who...

Boko Breaks Ground on the 500MW Maun Solar Plant to Green the Delta
