Botswana’s Graveyard Autosport confirms coming to Malawi -

                                                                                                                                                                                  
One of their favourite roads happened to be close to a graveyard named Broadhurst Cemetry hence the name Graveyard Autosport. And this weekend, they are coming to perform for the first time in Malawi at YSG Street Festival slated for 24 September at Mbowe Park in Lilongwe. Confirming the news on Monday, Graveyard member Tabongo Malombo Tsekane said the group was motivated by YSG’s efforts to bring the youths together for a good cause.

 “You know it’s a good thing to see the youth determined to make a change about their country. We want to encourage the youth of Malawi to take motor sport seriously. Not to say they won’t be employed, they can employ themselves,” said Tsekane who is also a resigned teacher and Police officer.

“My future now is in motorsports. My goal is to create better paying jobs through motorsport and promote motorsport tourism. I want to see people having fun with their cars.”
Tsekane added: “In my country a minimum that a new comer gets at a show is $300 and the shows usually happen twice a month.”
He said Graveyard now has a team of 25 people. 10 spinners, 5 administrators and 10 committee members with over 5000 club members.

Quizzed on the support they get in their country, the Graveyard member quickly responded: “You talk of support, talk of the Botswana’s Vice President Hon. Masisi. Car dealer moguls (guys who sell Benz, BMW, Toyota, Landrover), USA embassy and many others.”
In his remarks, YSG Executive Director Chimwemwe Jamali expressed excitement while pointing out that all is set for the show.
“We have different activities that we have lined up at the event. Motor stunts and drifting will be performed by Graveyard and safety is guaranteed because these are professionals,” Jamali stated.

Philippines make the most its English ability

MANILA -- Amid central Manila's construction boom, a redevelopment project by Ayala Land is especially eye-catching. The project includes a 69-story building and a condominium whose apartments go for an average 80 million pesos ($1.65 million). That is almost on a par with prices in Tokyo, yet the real estate developer said it received a flood of inquiries when the apartments went on sale in June. Investors are buying the company's shares in expectation of higher revenues. The share price rose about 14% from the start of the year to the end of September. The Ayala project highlights the rising income levels in the Philippines. Taking advantage of its large English-speaking population, the country has become one of the biggest providers of business process outsourcing services. Surging employment in this sector has created a consumption boom among the growing middle class. Robinsons Retail Holdings, which operates convenience store and supermarket chains, saw its sales rise 6...

First woman president in Namibia

Namibia has its first woman president. Namibians say it won’t mean much for women Namibia’s presidential and National Assembly elections this year have been historic on many fronts. They were the country’s most controversial elections, with accusations of foreign interference and election rigging at the forefront; while the country’s first female president was elected. The South West Africa People’s Organisation’s (Swapo’s) Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah was announced as the president-elect on Tuesday night, with 57.69% of the vote. The announcement was made at the Electoral Commission of Namibia’s (ECN’s) headquarters in Windhoek, but many parties were absent — contributing to a sombre mood. Multiple parties, including the incoming official opposition party, the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), and the Landless People’s Movement (LPM) boycotted the announcement, as they do not recognise the election’s results. In a statement issued moments before the announcement, the IPC reaffirmed its...
