The proposed compensation to former LS Farmers may not sit well with others. There is an argument that it shld not even be discussed or the that it should be paid to farm workers. Debate is the essence of policymaking. Here are our thoughts on the issue sivioinstitute.org/wp-conten…

New wine cannot go into old skins.
Dr @tmurisa asks whether non-profits are still built for a funding world that is fading, and what a business model for the next era looks like.

Dr. @tmurisa's reading of the moment at #10thEAPC: ODA fell 23.1% in 2025, the largest drop in the history of aid, and 95.7% of it came from just five donors. He called it the end of the aid era by design, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑨𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂 𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆. 📌

Farmers know. They have been abused before. Here👇 they are asking very important questions. My take away is that the time to abuse/confuse/steal from farmers is coming to an end. They will devise and fund their own production. They will find ways of marketing their goods…

Now and again i get a chance to talk about important matters, Africa’s Land and agrarian question. An important policy issue that many govts are glossing over. We have no choice but to resolve this if we are to move forward. Watch 👇 or listen here podcasts.apple.com/za/podcas…
Africa is rapidly urbanising (55-58% still rural), yet land has vanished from development conversations. Why? Are we redefining progress, or ignoring reality? @tmurisa & Nontsi unpack the shifting land & agrarian question.

We've mastered dissecting #Africa's problems. Now, we must master daydreaming about the solutions.
@tmurisa calls for a shift from critique to creation. The challenge isn't just analysis, it's vision.
Our task: to daydream and deliver prosperity.

It’s rare to finish a 2hr episode feeling satisfied that the interviewers asked every question I wanted to ask and pushed back every time I would have. Well done to @baba_nyenyedzi @rufarogz on a captivating episode.

We assumed that transparency alone would drive delivery.
But as @tmurisa reminds us, some promises collapse under the weight of empty coffers and structural limits. Watch our latest episode to explore how accountability evolves in Africa’s democracies.

Aid cuts of $17B + new restrictive laws = crisis for Southern African NGOs. Our feature in Alliance Magazine shows how a "philanthropy ecosystems" model is building local resilience from the ground up.
