Time-Lapse Balcony View From Mozambique

Through time manipulation, the city's pulsating energy unfolds as twinkling lights dance across the urban landscape, offering a hypnotic glimpse into the capital's dynamic rhythm after dark.

Perched in the newer tower of the Radisson Blu Hotel in Maputo, Mozambique’s vibrant capital, I captured a mesmerizing nighttime time-lapse. From my vantage point on the 16th or 17th floor, the bustling ocean cityscape unfolded in a kaleidoscope of twinkling lights mirrored in the tranquil Indian Ocean.

With breathtaking views over Table Mountain, the world’s tallest building made of industrial hemp is set to open in Cape Town this June.

At 12 stories tall, the Hemp Hotel at 84 Harrison st. used carbon-negative materials that captured more carbon in the walls of the building than it emitted manufacturing them.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa believes that the cannabis and hemp industry could create 130,000 jobs in places like Afrimat Hemp—the producer of the so-called “HempCrete” blocks which went into the hotel.

Made from water, lime, hemp, and a cement binder, the blocks from Afrimat Hemp are made of entirely South African hemp, which along with selling to corporate clients, are also used to build a number of social housing projects in South Africa and neighbouring Mozambique.

For the Hemp Hotel, Afrimat Hemp partnered with Wolf Architects in Cape Town for the build.

The company admit that hemp construction is 20% more expensive than traditional materials, but the urgency with which some corporations want to help tackle climate change offers them a unqiue opportunity: selling carbon credits—but with buildings, rather than trees.

“We can fund forests, or we can fund someone to live in a hemp house. It’s the same principle,” Afrimat Hemp’s carbon consultant Wihan Bekker told African News.

Company data shows that a 430 square foot house (40 square meters) produces 30 fewer tons of carbon than traditional methods, around what a mature tree can sequester in its roots across its lifetime.

The 263 km to the finishing line most of it on a 4 lane highway were flying by in no time. We were the first ones to arrive at the Oyster Box Hotel. After arrival and a welcome drink we got the car cleaned. 7 people worked on the car for 1,5 hours. Every part was taken out and wiped down. They even used a steamer to clean the sand out of the trunk and the inside. In the meantime the other cars came in one by one. It was a great hallo. Everyone was pleased we had survived the rough roads in Namibia and Mozambique.

„Missy the Merc“ has performed exceptionally well. We did not have any problem along the way not even a punctured tire! It will be picked up tomorrow and then shipped back to Europe.

In the afternoon we met Seonie an old rally friend from „P2P“ and the „Road to Mandalay“ with her new partner Peter. We invited them to join us for the final dinner. We had a lot of fun. Bruno knows how to party. Even in this respect the other rally companies could learn something from him. A band with 3 black singers rocked the evening and in no time the whole crowd was on the dance floor.

Len and I delivered a short thank you speech followed by the rally song „Smile“. Our rally cohorts sang their lungs out so they must have enjoyed it.

The evening ended in the bar with a couple of glasses of rum and by 23:30 we were in bed.

Another great adventure came to it’s end!

2023 / 08

Aperçu of the Week:

"I have met children who have learned to count off 45 seconds - that's how long it takes for Russian missiles to hit Kharkiv after the siren alarm."

(German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock addressing the UN General Assembly on Thursday on the annual of Russia's attack on Ukraine)

Bad News of the Week:

Since the Ukraine war, everyone knows about the Wagner Group. Consisting of mercenaries, commanded by Putin compadre Yevgeny Prigozhin. While soldiers are placed in the chain of command of their officers, at least ostensibly serving the good of their country, the same is not true of mercenaries. They are simply on a pay roll. No matter by whom. If one can apply an ethical standard to acts of war at all, it certainly does not apply to mercenaries.

Even before the Ukraine operation, the Wagner Group was active. There is evidence of their action for at least Syria, Venezuela, Libya, Mali, Mozambique, the Central African Republic, and Sudan. With horrific reports of atrocities, including against civilians, that leave one speechless even in the context of war. As I said, the lack of ethical standard....

Prigozhin's recruitment strategy is particularly perfidious. He offers prisoners their freedom if they commit to a six-month war effort. According to Die Zeit, tens of thousands of prison inmates have already accepted. We are not talking about convicted purse-snatchers here. We are talking, for example, about Alexander Tyutin, who was sentenced to 23 years in prison for a quadruple contract killing. So - to put it sarcastically - a professional. Who is now recovering from his stint on the beach in Antalya. Yes, that's in Turkey. Yes, Turkey is a NATO member. But the man was, after all, pardoned by the legal system of his home country.

This course of action shows an appalling concatenation of different institutions. From the Ministry of Justice accepting this get out of jail card, to the Ministry of Interior signing off on the deal and allowing them to leave the country, to the Ministry of Defense inserting these special forces into their strategies, and the secret service providing them with military intelligence. Of course, this is only possible with the blessing of Vladimir Putin himself. Who uses the group as a geostrategic tool to exert international influence when ideology, the ruble, or fossil energy no longer work effectively enough.

I would not have thought that even at the level of Russian rule of law, I would be surprised by a parallel world in which even those low regulations no longer apply. Which shows that Putin believes himself to be above all earthly things. It cannot be a coincidence that he compares himself with Tsar Peter the Great, of all people. He went to war not only against the Crimea and Azov, but also against Sweden in the "Great Northern War". Will history teach us nothing once more?

Good News of the Week:

Humans are pushing nature back more and more because of their numbers and lifestyles. For example, orangutans in Indonesia are losing their habitat as humanity demands more and more palm oil. And Corona would not have existed either if the Chinese did not have such an appetite for wild animals. But this development is not only happening in Asia with its mega-populations. In the Alps, too, with more and more ski resorts, hotels, excursion destinations, etc., much natural habitat has already had to give way to concrete and steel.

Fortunately, there is a growing awareness that tourism can be sustainable and that it is the unspoiled beauty of nature that attracts tourists in summer and winter. As a result, more and more landscapes are being placed under nature conservation, and awareness of this is growing. And indeed: the first measurable successes are appearing!

The symbolic animal of the Alps is the chamois. The shy climbing specialists above the mountain forests stand for untamed alpine nature like no other animal. And according to the Bavarian State Forests, the population in the Bavarian Alps is recovering: 1,654 geese were counted at about a hundred observation points in 2020. In 2021, there were already 1,873 and in 2022 even 2,060. This fits a counterpart in the very north of Germany: on the coasts of the North Sea, the number and spread of the grey seal is increasing again. Not long ago, Germany's largest predator was considered "very endangered".

Personal happy moment of the week:

Saturday evening in Miesbach, the capital of our district: many people are out and about, you can hear talking and laughing, the pubs are full, light shines onto the street from decorated shop windows. Quite normal life, which after all feels new again after the last few years. It's a good thing that our friends had made reservations at the Osteria, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get a seat. Simply a nice evening.

I couldn't care less...

...that Great Britain hardly has any access to vegetables and fruit anymore. Because the problems are home-made. Because of Brexit. It causes high customs and formality hurdles for exporting producers in the South, who thus prefer to sell in the European internal market. Domestic growers have been excluded from energy price subsidies, making it no longer profitable to operate greenhouses at home. And the cheap seasonal workers previously employed in agriculture, primarily from southeastern Europe, are no longer allowed into the country. Sorry, but you have deliberately chosen exactly this disaster.

As I write this...

...I am amazed at the unexpected return of winter. Since the beginning of the month the temperatures were clearly in the plus - up to 16 ° Celsius stood on the thermometer. Therefore, I had personally already ticked off the winter. Now I look at a snow-covered landscape and rejoice. And try not to think about the fact that Monday morning will be chaos on the roads and railways.

Post Scriptum

On the annual of Russia's attack on Ukraine, a new ice age is drawing near. On one hand, Putin changes his narrative: the West would use a Nazi puppet government in Kiev to threaten his country. Seeks military support from Belarus, Iran, China and others. Unilaterally cancels the New Start nuclear arms control program. On the other hand, NATO empowers its eastern flank: the "Budapest 9" strengthen their cooperation. Poland gets moral support from Joe Biden. Air defense systems are deployed on the Slovak border. Such a confrontation of global power blocs was last seen in the Cold War. And I thought those times were over once and for all...

Zimbabwe: The men of god surrounding President Mnangagwa

Some of the most prominent clergymen in Zimbabwe continue to embrace President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his policies. Who are these men of god?

With economic depression and political repression in Zimbabwe, analysts say one would have expected all the clergymen in the country to emulate South Africa’s fearless cleric Archbishop Desmond Tutu – who used the pulpit to fight apartheid – to speak truth to power. Instead, some of the most prominent ones have embraced President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his policies since he came to power.

“Such a rare breed of ecclesiastics with enough moral stamina to warn President Mnangagwa against looting national coffers and brutalising citizens are still to emerge in Zimbabwe,” says a political analyst who prefers to stay anonymous.

Three weeks before the citizen-backed military coup that dethroned the late president Robert Mugabe in 2017, Mnangagwa had been fired for “traits of disloyalty”.

When Mnangagwa took over the presidency in November 2017, he told his supporters that “the voice of the people is the voice of God”.

Many church leaders quickly embraced him even though his ascension to power was through a coup. Four months later, a local newspaper, The Herald, published an article saying churches had endorsed the “new dispensation” led by Mnangagwa.

 In the run up to the 2023 elections, the churches rallied behind Mnangagwa under #pastors4ED campaign on social media.

Here are five clergymen who have built close ties with the president:

Angel (born Uebert Madzanire) is a Zimbabwean-British evangelical preacher and the founder of Pentecostal ministry Spirit Embassy, which has a following in dozens of countries across four continents. He presents himself as ‘man of God’ and his followers refer to him by this title.

Mnangagwa appointed him as Zimbabwe’s ambassador at large and presidential envoy, following two weeks of induction and a training programme for diplomats in Harare.

A March 2023 Al Jazeera investigation linked Angel to a global money laundering operation. It showed how funds were illegally channelled to Zimbabwe and traded for gold from local mines. The gold would then be sold again for ‘clean’ money.

The government froze his financial assets and bank accounts, as well as those of others implicated in the documentary, for investigation. But a month later, the authorities reversed the decision saying investigations had stopped as there was no wrongdoing.

Angel resumed his ambassadorial role, representing Zimbabwe in Europe and the Americas, while Parliament Speaker Jacob Mudenda blocked legislators from conducting their own independent investigations into money laundering allegations against him.

Angel’s international company, the Billion Group, has interests in several businesses, including a bank, Sam Barkeley Construction, Atom Mobile and Picasso Hotels. Angel is the author of several books on how to make money.

Mutendi, referred to as ‘His Grace’ by his followers, is the leader of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC), one of the largest churches in Zimbabwe. His support for Mnangagwa and the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) party is no secret.

At a public event in May 2018, Mnangagwa said Mutendi’s late father, Bishop Samuel Mutendi – who founded ZCC — foretold his “rise to power” as far back as 1964. The president and younger Mutendi enjoy cordial relationships.

In September 2020, Mnangagwa toured Mutendi’s wheat farm in Nyika, within Zimbabwe’s Masvingo Province, a manifestation of their deepening ties.

With a large following in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique, and other denominations of the church in Europe, Mutendi has used church gatherings as campaign grounds for ZANU-PF since 2017. The church headquarters in Masvingo can accommodate up to 40,000 people.

Mutendi has been making headlines for delaying payment for the company that designed the building. The firm, Empire Designs, is also yet to receive payment of around $800,000 for the design of Mutendi’s schools and wellness centres across Zimbabwe.

Mutendi is not new to controversy. In 2014, he displaced more than 1,000 farmers from their land to construct church properties. The farmers, who had settled there following Zimbabwe’s land redistribution programme, alleged that Mutendi was fraudulently given an offer letter yet the cabinet had been dissolved five days before the 2013 elections.

“His offer letter is dated 26 July 2013. Most of us here got [our] offer letters way back [in] 2009. Now Mutendi wants to take over 500 hectares of Central Estates Farm, particularly the headquarters area,” said a farmer, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Central Estates Farm used to belong to mining and properties magnate Nicholas van Hoogstraten before the government took over the land. At its peak, Van Hoogstraten’s farm used to keep over 60,000 cattle for beef.

Makandiwa (whose real name is Shingirai Chirume) is a controversial pastor in the capital Harare and one of the richest clergymen in the country. His establishment, the United Family International Church (UFIC), has a large footprint in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Botswana and Zambia, with an online presence through his DSTV channel Emmanuel TV.

In 2015, agents from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority visited the UFIC offices in Harare, demanding books of accounts, following accusations that the church was accumulating millions of dollars but not paying tax. Makandiwa’s spokesperson Prime Kufa said his church had no issues with the taxman, claiming that he was a victim of conspiracy theories.

In the run up to the 2023 election, Makandiwa invited Mnangagwa to his church in Chitungwiza Dormitory town. With an audience of approximately 60,000 people, he gave the president and his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, an opportunity to campaign during the services.

UFIC sits on a wetland, which according to the by-laws is a no-construction zone. But Makandiwa’s proximity with the first family has deterred the authorities from pursuing the matter.

Last year, Makandiwa’s flamboyant multi-million-dollar mansion sparked heated conversations on social media. The mansion revived the issues of lifestyle audits, which influential clergymen evade while the taxman focuses on smaller churches.

Passion Java (whose real name is Panganai Java) is a famous pastor and leader of Passion Ministries. He is a mentee of Uebert Angel – who he named his son after �� and a friend of Mnangagwa, as well as a staunch supporter of the ZANU–PF.

The preacher never shies away from flaunting his wealthy lifestyle online. He does this on a daily basis, praising Mnangagwa while chiding opponents of the ruling party. His late mother was a senator in parliament under the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) Alliance.

Java and his church have a larger following in the United States, where spends most of his time overseeing properties that he owns.

Ahead of the 2023 elections, Java hosted Congolese musician Koffi Olomide in Zimbabwe where he produced a song under the pastor’s record label. The song, which praised Mnangagwa, drew criticism from Zimbabweans online as well as members of the opposition.

Java also made headlines in South Africa after he reportedly spent R1.3m ($68,506) at a club in Pretoria to celebrate the birthday of Boss Lashaan, the manager of Passion Java Label.

In March 2022, over 9,000 people signed an online petition calling on the American authorities to deport Java over his alleged role in violation of human rights in Zimbabwe. He is yet to be deported.

Wutawunashe, the founder of the Family of God Church (FOG), is popular for leading national prayer days. His church has a steady following in Zimbabwe and other Southern African countries.

Wutawunashe, who has been allied to the ruling party for decades, endorsed Mnangagwa soon after the disputed 2023 elections, telling the opposition’s Nelson Chamisa to “swallow his pride”.

“As you can see, President Mnangagwa is genuinely popular,” Wutawunashe told the press in an interview during the inauguration.
