Southern Africa's other green revolution

The slow legalisation of the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, which got under way in Canada and the United States in 2016, has started a veritable agricultural revolution in Africa. From the mountains of Lesotho to the South African coast, taking in Malawi and Zimbabwe, the sector's major operators have set up partnerships with local entrepreneurs able to oversee plantations and talk to governments about the liberalisation of a form of cultivation which is still largely forbidden on the continent.

Oil magnate Benedict Peters banks on lobbyist David Urban to win over Trump

The Nigerian Benedict Peters has retained the services of David Urban, a star lobbyist in Trump's Washington, in the hope of winning the favours of the current occupant of the White House. By cosying up to Trump on his favourite terrain - the trade war against Beijing - Peters is hoping that the president will help him to regain his influence in Nigeria, though he may find himself back at square one if Biden prevails in November.
