Recently Jessica DiCarlo 谢夕嘉 and I had the opportunity to sit down with Tim Zajontz to discuss how the Second Cold War is influencing African societies - as anyone who knows Tim can imagine, the discussion was lively, wide-ranging and loads of fun

Tune in to Zanzibar state television (ZBC) tomorrow morning at 6am, I will discuss e-waste, recycling and environmental problems.
