A few blog readers introduced themselves to me today, and I thank you for reading me.

Earlier this year, Congolese activist Bandi Mbubi was chosen to speak at a TEDx Talk at the University of Exeter in southwest England focusing on "Sustainability and Our Interconnected World."

More borrowing from China - we are becoming ever more indebted to the Dragon in the east. Government earlier this month confirmed that it had obtained a US$150m (K750bn) loan from Exim Bank of China for a new water supply project with China Civil Engineering Construction to help boost potable supplies to homes and commercial areas in Lusaka.
