Cape Town - The ANC has muscled through its majority in the National Assembly on Tuesday by blocking the removal of President Jacob Zuma from office in a motion of no confidence debate. Speaker Baleka Mbete announced that 177 MPs voted in favour of the motion and 198 against it. There were nine abstentions. This shows a marked increase becasue previously 113, 99, 126, 143 MPs voted in favour of the motion. Despite earlier calls from opposition parties and civil society for ANC MPs to do the right thing and back the motion to axe Zuma they decided to stick with the president, ending any hopes he will be out of the job soon. This was one of the toughest motion debates in Parliament in the last few years with ANC MPs being read the riot act in the caucus by the top brass earlier. Zuma attended the caucus meeting earlier in the day. ANC Secretary-General Gwede Mantashe briefed the caucus where he gave ANC MPs an instruction not to back the motion. The vote in the National Assembly was preceded by the debate where both sides attacked each other. The opposition insisted in the debate that they wanted Zuma to go because he had plunged the country into a crisis and his links with the Guptas. The ANC argued that the motion was against the party and not Zuma. They said the opposition wanted to topple the its government through an undemocratic process. But ANC MPs used their majority to stop attempts by the opposition to remove Zuma from office. This was the eighth motion of no confidence against Zuma in the last few years. In all the motions in Parliament Zuma has defeated the opposition and kept his job. http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/08/noconfidence-vote-against-zuma-fails.html?m=1 |

Harare - The Zanu-PF youth wing insists that President Robert Mugabe is "switched on" and able to lead the country to 2023, when he’ll turn 99. Youth secretary Kudzanayi Chipanga, who is organising countrywide rallies for the 93-year-old president, said the youths won't "stampede" Mugabe into naming a successor. "He is still fit to execute his duties," Chipanga said in comments carried by the state-run Herald. "Mentally and physically he is switched on." 'Our president is still strong' Last week Mugabe's 52-year-old wife Grace urged her husband to name a successor , saying his word on the matter would be final and put an end to clandestine jockeying by senior party officials to succeed him. But Chipanga said though the youths agreed "100 percent" with the First Lady's call, "we are not stampeding His Excellency to choose a successor". "He can even go up to 2023," he said. "Our President is still strong as you can see him addressing his party supporters for more than an hour when the need arises." Another five years Mugabe is limited to two terms under the new constitution. He wants to stand for re-election next year for a second five-year term. But he looks old and frail and possibly not up to leading a gruelling re-election campaign. At last weekend’s youth rally in the northern town of Chinhoyi, the president appeared to be fast asleep on the podium while his wife publicly berated his spokesperson George Charamba for allowing state media to criticise her allies in government. http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/08/mugabe-on-able-to-lead-zim-to-2023-when.html?m=1 |
The commission said partial results of Friday's election had given him 98 percent of the vote. Mr Kagame's supporters began celebrating before the announcement. They say that he has brought stability and economic development after the horrors of the 1994 genocide. But his critics - most of whom are outside the country - say he has ruled through fear. Mr Kagame, who has been in power for 17 years, was challenged by Frank Habineza and Philippe Mpayimana. He came to power in 1994, when his rebel group took control of the capital, Kigali, ending the genocide in which some 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered. Rwanda's constitution was amended in 2015, giving Mr Kagame a chance to stay in power until 2034. The two challengers have complained that their supporters are being intimidated, which they say explains the low turnout at their pre-election rallies. The candidates have also accused some local authorities of undermining their campaign. The ruling party denies any accusations of wrongdoing. Paul Kagame at a glance: Seen as military genius His rebel forces helped end 1994 genocide - he has been in power ever since Twice invaded much larger neighbour, DR Congo Accused of suppressing the opposition and ordering assassination of critics Sees Singapore and South Korea as models - economy growing at 7% a year Champions women's rights; most MPs are women http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/08/rwanda-election-kagame-takes-98-of-vote.html?m=1

The UN on Friday detailed more than 250 "extrajudicial or targeted killings" in the Democratic Republic of Congo's Kasai region from mid- March to mid-June, counting dozens of children among the dead. The findings, based on interviews with refugees from Kasai who had fled to Angola, blamed state agents for the murders of seven children. The refugees gave harrowing accounts of the violence in the region, which the UN warned had taken on "an increasing and disturbing ethnic dimension." Victims recounted mutilations, including of a seven-year- old boy whose fingers were cut off, and an attack on a hospital in the village of Cinq where 90 people were killed, some because they were too injured to escape a raging fire. Aside from government troops , the UN blamed a state- backed militia called the Bana Mura as well as the anti- government Kamuina Nsapu militia for a range of atrocities. "Survivors have spoken of hearing the screams of people being burned alive, of seeing loved ones chased and cut down, of themselves fleeing in terror", the United Nations human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said in a statement. A team of UN investigators "was able to confirm that between 12 March and 19 June some 251 people were the victims of extrajudicial and targeted killings", the report said. "These included 62 children, of which 30 were aged under eight," it added. Regarding the children murdered, the UN said seven were killed by members of the army (FARDC) or the national intelligence service, while six died at the hands of the rebel Kamuina Nsapu. The Bana Mura militia members blamed for the deaths of 49 minors. "Some of the violations and abuses committed in the Kasais may amount to crimes under international law," the UN said in a statement. The violence in Kasai erupted last September after the death in clashes of a tribal chieftain, known as the Kamwina Nsapu, who rebelled against the authority of President Joseph Kabila's regime in Kinshasa and its local representatives. The killing sparked violence that has escalated, including gross alleged violations of human rights such as extrajudicial killings, rapes, torture and the use of child soldiers. In less than a year, the violence has claimed more than 3,300 lives, according to a tally by the influential Roman Catholic Church, and displaced 1.4 million people. Around 80 mass graves have been uncovered in the region. Kabila's reluctance to organise elections has heightened tensions across the country, while the UN rights office has blasted his government for not mounting serious investigations into the Kasai crisis. http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/08/un-reports-251-killings-in-dr-congo.html?m=1

Someone in the UK has won £51.7million – but they haven’t collected it yet. The National Lottery has put out an appeal after the UK ticket-holder who won the huge jackpot on Friday July 28 failed to come forward. Which means someone is casually walking around, potentially unaware that they’ve won a life-changing sum of money. The winning numbers from the draw were 5, 9, 29, 31, 41, and Lucky Stars 2 and 4. ‘Find those and the £51,702,049 is all yours,’ the National Lottery said in its appeal. In other words, CHECK YOUR TICKETS YOU FOOLS. The National Lottery said: ‘The UK really is on a winning streak with this being the fourth EuroMillions jackpot won on these shores this year. ‘Back in June an £87million EuroMillions jackpot was won by another lucky UK player. ‘February also proved to be a very lucky month for UK EuroMillions players with two huge EuroMillions prizes being won by Brits on two consecutive weeks: two ticket-holders, from the UK and Belgium, split the £39.9million jackpot on 14th February, each banking £19.9million, and the following draw saw another UK winner who bagged the 17th February jackpot of £14.5million.’ http://fawoleblog..nl/2017/08/someone-has-won-51702049-but-hasnt-come.html?m=1 |
Borno State is known with fish at Baga the largest fish market in the Northeast was close for over three years due to Boko Haram insurgency. Baga and the fish m,arket was not left out by the terrorist group, where they sack the villagers and burnt down the market. Baga is a district in Kukawa local government of Borno and one of the most strategic border towns. According to a report from the media assistant to Habib Kekeno, the caretaker chairman of Kukawa local government, Yahya Said, “supply of fish from Baga to various places within and outside the state has commenced in the area on Tuesday, August 1, 2017.” Yerwa Express News It’s one of the biggest producer of fish in the state, hugely contributing to the internally generated revenue of the state. Fishing activities in the area has been in existence for several millennia. The aquatic environment that supports the activity in the area known as Lake Chad is a remnant of the Mega-Chad. Mega-Chad was believed to have started drying up some 7,000 years when a desiccation that leaves us with the Sahara desert today started. It continuously shrank until it reached its present size. With proper dredging, experts believe that the lake can feed a large part of West Africa through farming, fishing and livestock rearing. It used to be an important market for international trade with traders mostly from North Africa and the Arabian peninsula until colonial activities begun in the 19th century. It has maintained trans-border trade with other West African countries such as Chad and Cameroon until 2014. In a massive attack three years ago, Boko Haram overran the community and the military in ‘retaliation’ burnt over 1000 houses. It was one of the deadly attacks that drew international attention to the Boko Haram crisis, with many describing it as a crime against humanity. The Nigerian government under Goodluck Jonathan had come under intense media attacks over the incident. Since then, all commercial activities were suspended and the people were displaced to various places including neighboring countries. Roads connecting it to other parts of the state were also closed by the military. “Before the insurgency disrupted business activities in the North-East, Baga has been the major supplier of dry fish to most parts of the country and beyond with an average of seven trailers and lorries loading dried fish to different destinations daily,” Yusuf said. The formal reopening of the fishing and other commercial activities took place in Doron Baga Fish Market. The Caretaker Chairman, while addressing the gathering commended the tightness of security agencies in the area’. He urged the fishermen to use the opportunity to develop the local government and called on them to be law-abiding citizens and work hand in hand with the security. The occasion was attended by many people, including both traditional and political leaders. http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/08/biggest-fish-market-in-northeast-re_3.html?m=1 |
Saudi Arabia’s new heir to the throne has announced plans for a beach resort where special laws will allow women to wear bikinis instead of covering up their skin. As part of his drive to modernise the Saudi economy, Prince Mohammed bin Salman has unveiled plans for a luxury Red Sea resort on a stretch of coast line in the country’s northwest. Knowing that foreign visitors are unlikely to come to beaches where women are forced to cover up in an abaya - a robe-like dress - the government said the resort will be “governed by laws on par with international standards”. Saudi Arabia’s own laws on women are among the most repressive in the world, with women banned from driving and unable to travel without permission from a male relative. Women are expected to cover their skin and hair when they are outside, although the laws are not uniformly enforced. Last month, a young woman was arrested for wearing a miniskirt in an abandoned village. The Saudi woman was arrested after being filmed wearing a miniskirt Alcohol is banned under Saudi law and it is not clear if it will be allowed on the resort. Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund described the project as an “exquisite luxury resort destination established across 50 untouched natural islands”. “The Red Sea project will be a luxury resort destination situated across the islands of a lagoon and steeped in nature and culture. “It will set new standards for sustainable development and bring about the next generation of luxury travel to put Saudi Arabia on the international tourism map,” the fund said. Construction is set to begin in 2019 and the first phase of the project will be completed by 2022, according to the announcement. It hopes to host a million visitors a year by 2035. The Red Sea project is part of Prince Mohammed’s Vision 2030 - a plan to diversify the Saudi economy and wean it off its dependence on oil. Most Saudi women are expected to cover their skin and hair CREDIT: REUTERS/FAISAL AL NASSER Some foreign investors have applauded the young prince, who is often referred to by his initials “MbS”, but others have said the plan is unlikely to succeed. Saudi Arabia may seen an opening in the tourism market as neighbouring Egypt struggles to convince foreigners that its own Red Sea resorts are safe. The Egyptian holiday area has been wracked by a number of attacks in recent years, including the bombing of a Russian airliner that took off from Sharm el-Sheikh. Visitor numbers have slumped as a result. The Saudi statement stressed that the project “will be an extremely safe and secure environment that will ensure the protection of all visitors in accordance with the highest international best practice”. Most foreigners will be able to fly straight into the tourism zone without a visa, another easing of Saudi law designed to make the resort more attractive. Prince Mohammed was elevated to the role of crown prince in June after his older uncle, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, was stripped of the role. Prince Mohammed is the son of the current king, Salman, and already has broad authority over the kingdom’s economy as well as its defence and foreign policies. A spokesman for the public investment fund did not respond to a request for comment. http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/08/saudi-arabia-to-open-luxury-beach.html?m=1 |
China has officially opened its first overseas military base in Djibouti, in the Horn of Africa. In a flag raising ceremony today (Aug.1), Chinese officials unveiled the base that Beijing insists is purely a support center for Chinese peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts in the region. “The Djibouti base has nothing to do with an arms race or military expansion, and China has no intention of turning the logistics center into a military foothold,” the state-run news agency Xinhua said in an English- language editorial earlier this month. Beijing has said base will be used to support naval missions along the coasts of Somalia and Yemen. China opened its first overseas support base in #Djibouti this morning (August 1) — the same day China marked the PLA's 90th birthday pic.twitter.com/fJhlxCvfSu — People's Daily,China (@PDChina) August 1, 2017 The fact that China’s first overseas base is in Africa reflects Chinese’s expanding engagement with the continent where several of China’s first major moves as a global power have taken place. China’s first overseas peacekeeping mission was in South Sudan, where 700 Chinese troops remain today and China has been part of other UN missions in the Democratic Republic of Congo , Mali, Liberia, and Sudan. Earlier this week, the Chinese ambassador to the African Union, Kuang Weilin, offered to send soldiers to a disputed border area between Eritrea and Djibouti that had been maintained by Qatari forces. Qatari peacekeepers pulled out of the area last month. It’s clear that China isn’t just motivated by humanitarian efforts. Djibouti is located near the Suez Canal, through which as much as 10% of the world’s sea-borne oil trade passes through every year.(Djibouti already houses several foreign security forces, including the United States military at Camp Lemonnier, Britain, Japan, and France.) It’s also part of China’s One Belt One Road” project, a massive network of transport links that roughly follows the ancient Silk Road. The Silk Road reinvented. (Reuters Graphics) Satellite images obtained by Stratfor, the US-based geopolitical intelligence platform, in April and July reveal a heavily fortified base with three layers of defense, an underground space of 23,000 square meters, and at least eight hangars for aircraft. Curiously, according to Stratfor, no dock had been constructed yet, despite the base’s main mission to support Chinese naval operations. “It is clear that Beijing is laying down the infrastructure to provide long-term support to naval vessels and some aircraft on the Horn of Africa, near one of the world’s chokepoints for trade,” Stratfor wrote. http://fawoleblog..nl/2017/08/china-has-officially-opened-its-first.html?m=1 |
Emmanuel Gasakure could have enjoyed a comfortable life as a cardiologist in France. But when his native Rwanda was ripped apart by genocide in 1994, he returned to the country. He helped revive the health service as the nation recovered from terrible trauma and served as President Paul Kagame’s adviser and personal physician for 14 years. But Gasakure grew disturbed by dark forces wrecking his lifetime’s work. So he confronted the country’s health minister, a friend of Kagame’s wife, over missing funds, stray medical supplies and a mismanaged human resources project. Days later, this patriotic physician was arrested, tortured and then shot dead – by a police officer, reportedly in self-defence, inside a Kigali police station. One more dissident wiped out by a despotic regime. ‘He was executed because he was denouncing corruption in the health sector,’ said a friend. ‘Kagame is a killer.’ Few would now dispute this claim, given Kagame’s lethal interventions in neighbouring nations and the constant stream of critics who have died or disappeared after falling out with his regime. His foes are not even safe abroad: one was strangled in South Africa, others have been eliminated in East Africa, while British and US authorities have issued warnings over Rwandan death squads. Yet this bloodstained dictator at the helm of a ruthless one-party state is hailed a hero by Western leaders lavishing torrents of foreign aid on his tiny nation as he prepares for his latest electoral coronation next month. Tony Blair says Kagame is a ‘visionary’. Bill Clinton called him one of the ‘greatest leaders of our time’. David Cameron proclaimed Rwanda ‘a success story’ that offers ‘a role model for development’. The United Nations tells other African nations to ‘emulate’ Rwanda. The billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates works with him, the Davos elite fall at his feet and leading universities provide prestigious platforms for him to speak. Britain is among the biggest cheerleaders, handing over huge sums from taxpayers and ushering Rwanda into the Commonwealth eight years ago. Rwanda is the ultimate ‘donor darling’, where the barbarity of its vicious regime is brushed aside in a desperate search for an aid success story. And Britain backed the regime even after Kagame overturned the constitution to retain power for another 17 years. Now, The Mail on Sunday can reveal devastating evidence that Rwanda may have distorted data, exaggerated claims of rapid development and lied about levels of poverty in its bid to shore up its credentials for foreign aid. Our investigation reveals: l Deaths of mothers and infants have been deliberately ‘unlogged’ to boost mortality statistics, exaggerating health improvements; l Britain boasts its aid helped fund near-universal use of mosquito bed nets, yet corruption and mismanagement by health officials led to a massive malaria outbreak; l Experts allege statistics on poverty are being manipulated to show improvements when it is actually growing worse, not better; l A British firm has withdrawn from helping analyse a key national study used to measure poverty, reportedly due to concerns over data manipulation; l Multilateral partners have confronted Rwanda after discovering its health data is ‘not credible’; l World Bank sources say a famine caused by drought and failed agricultural policies is being covered up by the state; l Dissidents claim Western donors are being duped. ‘Britain ignores reality and chooses to play an openly propagandistic role for the regime,’ said David Himbara, a former Kagame aide. Some of the most shocking evidence uncovered by this newspaper comes from senior regime insiders who have fled the country. One said he saw the president personally beat a colleague with sticks for buying curtains from a store not owned by the ruling party, which has vast assets and is controlled by Kagame. The victim remains behind bars nine years later. The MoS investigation was aided by a whistleblowing senior official at a global multilateral agency. ‘I feel like an accomplice to murder,’ said the source. ‘I thought I was working with God but it turned out I was working with the Devil. This kind of regime is pure evil.’ President Kagame sells himself as saviour of Rwanda after ousting Hutu militia accused of slaughtering about 800,000 mainly Tutsi citizens in the genocide, then salvaging a shattered nation. He skilfully exploited Western guilt over the genocide, despite sparking war in the Democratic Republic of Congo that led to possibly five million deaths. His forces carried out terrible atrocities, even on refugees, women and children. He was due to stand down this year. But Kagame held a referendum to overturn limits on how long he could serve, claiming to be reacting to public opinion and winning almost all the votes. He could now stay in power until 2034. His last election in 2010 was a sham, with rivals jailed and newspapers closed using state bodies backed by British aid. One opponent was beheaded – yet Tony Blair, who has borrowed Kagame’s private jet, sent the dictator effusive congratulations. In May thisyear, an activist called Diane Rwigara declared she would stand against Kagame, bravely arguing ‘people are tired, people are angry’. Her industrialist father died two years ago in a car crash the family fear was a politically-linked murder. Two days later, nude photographs of the 35-year-old were leaked to a newspaper and circulated on social media. Then the electoral commission rejected her bid. ‘Since the ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front took power 23 years ago, Rwandans have faced huge – and often deadly – obstacles to participating in public life and voicing criticism of government policy,’ said Amnesty International regional director Muthoni Wanyeki. The roll call of dead critics includes an opposition figure who was ordered to meet his village security official in May. A few days later his family were called to collect his corpse from a hospital. Human Rights Watch also revealed why visitors admire capital Kigali’s neat streets: the police execute petty criminals while ‘undesirables’ such as hawkers and the homeless are held in camps. The group says there is official strategy to spread fear. Yet on Thursday, the Department for International Development, overseen by Priti Patel, issued a report boasting of ‘investing’ £64 million aid this year in Rwanda to ‘build effective government institutions’ and support ‘development of an open and inclusive society’. It praised Kagame’s ‘strong record of using aid effectively to… produce impressive results’ and insisted his regime ‘plays a progressive role on the world stage’. Britain is the second biggest bilateral donor to Rwanda. The nation of nearly 12 million people receives the highest levels of aid support per capita in its region – about twice as much per head as Burundi, Kenya or Uganda. http://fawoleblog..nl/2017/08/despot-dictator-rwanda-sent-hitmen-to.html?m=1

In the last 20 years, thousands of women are strangled, stabbed
and burned alive on the pretext of practicing "witchcraft."
Since the start of 2017, some 479 women killed in Tanzania were
accused of practicing witchcraft, according to a report released
Monday by the Dar es Salaam-based Legal and Human Rights
Centre (LHRC).
Five women who were accused of being
witches were murdered by a mob last
week. On average, an estimated 80 people
are killed each month in Tanzania, the
report stated.
Wilbroad Mtafungwa, a Tabora regional
police general in the province where the
killings occurred, said that vigilante
killings related to witchcraft were on the
rise in the area.
"We have launched a manhunt and so far several suspects have
been arrested, but the investigations are ongoing," he told Reuters.
Helen Kijo-Bisimba, LHRC's executive director, said the rise in the
number of murders during the last year is a consequence of
restricted human rights in the country by conservative President
John Magufuli – who has prohibited political rallies in the country
until 2020.
Magufuli has also faced criticism for the government's failure to
implement court rulings on human rights issues.
Belief in witchcraft, which dates back centuries in the East African
country, is commonly used to explain misfortunes such as death,
failed harvests and infertility.
According to the report, most of the lynching incidents took place in
the main city and commercial hub, Dar es Salaam, and the Mbeya
region in the southern highlands where superstitious beliefs are
strongly held.
"This year there have been 117 deaths in Al-Salam, 33 in Mbeya
and Mara with 28 deaths and Geita with 26," Bisimba said.
"These incidents must be strongly persecuted and we need to
educate people who have the antiquated belief that women are
always behind witchcraft," she added.
In the last 20 years, thousands of women are strangled, stabbed
and burned alive on the pretext of practicing "witchcraft."
Human rights groups have condemned the wave of "witch killings"
and complained that there have been too few prosecutions –
causing anxiety among elderly women living in rural villages. |

In 2012, the UN projected that Nigeria’s population would reach 914 million by the end of the 21st century. The UN’s 2015 forecast of 752 million is 162 million people lower, or about 20%. This lowered projection is based on the country’s fertility rate having fallen more rapidly than expected. In the earlier population projection, the UN had expected Nigeria’s fertility to remain above six children per woman during the early decades of the 21st century. The fertility rate has actually fallen to 5.74 in recent years. This quicker initial drop in the fertility rate, small as it seems, will have massive repercussions for Nigeria’s population total — if it is sustained over the next 85 years. Nigeria’s decline by 162 million people is equal to the population of Bangladesh, currently the world’s eighth most populous country. However, for the African continent as a whole, fertility rates are expected to fall less quickly than previously estimated. This means that Africa’s 2100 population is now forecast to reach nearly 4.4 billion. That total number is about 200 million more than the UN’s 2012 forecast, despite the simultaneous decline in Nigeria’s projected population by 162 million.

1. His parents didn't name him Nelson Upon his birth on July 18, 1918, he was named Rolihlahla Dalibhunga Mandela. He attended primary school in Qunu where his teacher gave him the name Nelson, in accordance with the tradition of giving “Christian” names to students. 2. He was a poor student Mandela was expelled from the University College of Fort Hare for his participation in a student protest. He completed his BA through the University of South Africa before attending the University of the Witwatersrand for his law degree. By his own admission, he was not a very good student and left in 1948 without graduating; he also was unable to complete a law degree that he started at the University of London. It wasn’t until his last months in prison that he obtained his undergraduate law degree. By the time he died, he had received more than 50 honorary degrees from international universities. 3. He traveled under an alias In 1962, he took on the alias David Motsamayi and secretly left South Africa for other parts of Africa and England to rally support for the liberation movement and the African National Congress (ANC); he received military training in Morocco and Ethiopia. 4. He was a master of disguise Forced to go underground to evade the police, Mandela disguised himself as a chauffeur, a chef and a garden boy. “I would wear the blue overalls of the fieldworker and often wore round, rimless glasses known as Mazzawati teaglasses. I had a car and I wore a chauffeur's cap with my overalls. The pose of chauffeur was convenient because I could travel under the pretext of driving my master's car,” he wrote in his autobiography, "Long Walk to Freedom." 5. Some of his most famous words were spoken in court In 1963, Mandela and nine others went on trial for sabotage in what became known as the Rivonia Trial, when he delivered his famous speech in which he concluded, “During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” Facing the death penalty, they were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. 6. His principles were more important than freedom He spent 27 years in prison until his release in 1990, nine days after the unbanning of the ANC. Throughout his imprisonment he had rejected at least three conditional offers of release. 7. He was deluged with ticker tape In 1990, he embarked on a world tour, visiting British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the U.S. Congress, and U.S. President George H.W. Bush. An estimated 400,000 attended a ticker tape parade through the canyons of Wall Street in his honor. 8. He loved tripe Umleqwa (farm chicken), ulusu (tripe), and amasi (sour milk) were among his favorite foods. His former chef Xoliswa Ndoyiya published a cookbook with his favorite recipes. 9. He was a concert promoter Mandela was the driving force behind the 2003 AIDS awareness event in Cape Town called the 46664 Concert. The huge event included performances by Beyonce, Peter Gabriel, Bono, Bob Geldof and many more. The name of the concert referenced Mandela’s prison number. 10. His honors had no limits Mandela received more than 695 awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize and the U.S. Congressional Medal. In addition to his honorary degrees, he was bestowed with honorary citizenships, organization memberships, and a large number of streets, buildings, schools and other various things have been named for him — and his influence can even be seen in Hollywood. In "The Cosby Show," the grandchildren of Cliff and Clair Huxtable, Winnie and Nelson Tibideau, were named after Mandela and his former wife. http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/07/10-things-you-didn-know-about-nelson.html?m=1
