Vaughan Gething to become Welsh first minister and Europe’s first Black leaderStory by ReutersVaughan Gething won the Welsh Labour Party leadership contest on Saturday, meaning he will become the first Black leader of the semi-autonomous government in Wales.“Today, we turn a page in the book of our nation’s history …. not just because I have the honour of becoming the first Black leader in any European country, but because the generational dial has jumped too,” Gething, 50, said in a speech after the result was announced.“Devolution is not something that I have had to get used to, or to adapt to, or to apologize for. Devolution, Welsh solutions to Welsh problems and opportunities is in my blood,” Gething, currently minister for economy, added.Zambian-born Gething will replace incumbent Mark Drakeford who in December announced his departure after five years leading the Welsh government, which has responsibility for a limited number of devolved areas including health and education.Keir Starmer, leader of Britain’s Labour Party, which opinion polls show as likely to win power in a national election due later this year, congratulated Gething in a statement.“On behalf of the entire UK Labour Party, we look forward to campaigning with Vaughan in this new chapter for Wales, to deliver Labour governments across Britain,” Starmer said.Drakeford will resign as first minister of Wales on March 19, the Labour Party said in a statement, with the Welsh parliament, the Senedd, formally set to elect the next leader on March 20.Also congratulating Gething on the win, Conservative British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on social media that he was committed to working together constructively.© CNN ...

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart.

AP calls Masisi, Khama to order

ALL OF US MUST WORK TO UNITE OUR PEOPLE:  A response to divisive statements made  by the President and immediate Former President of the Republic of Botswana  We, the Alliance for Progressives wish to express grave concern about the unfolding  narrative playing out within the ruling party,  particularly  the  potential  deleterious  influence on our national tranquility, of the words and sentiments attributed  to  both  the  current President  of the  Republic  of Botswana, Dr Masisi and  his predecessor Lt General  Dr Khama  which  are provoking,  invoking  and  stoking  undue tribal tensions.  We  are  aware that  we  the  Progressives  do  not  possess neither  the  monopoly of wisdom nor the  authority to enter into the  fray of the  internal  affairs at  the  Botswana Democratic  Party  or  any  other  political  formation  on  our land.   In fact, we particularly loathe to be commentators on what transpires in  other   parties,  when  there   is  so much more  to focus on: The nation  can  remain  assured that  we are singularly focused on and determined to give Botswana and   Batswana  an option  for  a  new  Botswana  that   is  a paragon of nation  building and prosperity on the African continent.  And  so  our   grave   concern  about  statements  made  by leaders of the BDP...
