Cloud seeding uses planes and ground-based cannons to shoot particles into clouds making more nuclei, attracting moisture. Once enough droplets merge, they become heavy and fall to Earth as rain or snow.

Too often, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is remembered as ‘Nelson Mandela’s wife.’ That is only one part of her legacy. Winnie Mandela was a freedom fighter and organiser who was in many ways, more uncompromising than Nelson. Winnie, too, was a political prisoner during the struggle, including a brief sentence she served while pregnant. Her position was that African people must free ourselves by any means necessary. Winnie unwavering on oppressed peoples having a right to use revolutionary violence in the face of colonial exploitative violence. This led to a growing distance between her and the African National Congress (ANC) during the 1990s. She also believed that land in Azania (a name to describe parts of southern Africa, including South Africa) and Zimbabwe must be redistributed to African peoples. Winnie spoke out at a time when Nelson Mandela felt the need to compromise on the land question, which has led to perpetual inequality and prolonged settler colonialism. In her own words, ‘I have a good relationship with Mandela. But I am not Mandela’s product. I am the product of the masses of my country and the product of my enemy.’ In this 29 November 1993 lecture given at Kean College in New Jersey (USA), Pan-Africanist and former Nation of Islam leader Khalid Muhammad railed against Nelson and expressed his support for Winnie. Let us know what you think of Muhammad’s remarks.

Two months ago, FNB offered to move me from Private Clients to Private Wealth banking. I was agreeable. But they assigned me a White man as my new private banker and I was unwilling to accept that. I tried to engage the bank about keeping my current private banker, Naledi Moatlanegi, who is exceptionally brilliant and with whom I have developed a good relationship. The bank wasn't prepared to commit to this, and because I was unwilling to be allocated any other private banker, and especially not a White banker, I opted to not take the offer, to remain with Private Clients. When I was on the market for a house, I wanted a Black estate agent and was not disappointed when I found one in Felicia Mabizela. She was extraordinary in her work. For my relocation process, I hired a Black-owned moving company owned by Nicolain Shabangu and her husband Shaun. For the house maintenance work, I have hired Splash Africa, owned by Bonga Masoka. And for my furniture, I am buying from House of Amica, co-owned by Mojalefa Abuti Motalane and his fiance. I am also buying some from a Black manufacturer in Kya Sands.

I have taken the decision that as far as possible, I'm going to spend my money on Black-owned companies. And where the companies are White-owned and workers earn on commission, I want a Black agent. It is actually not morally justified for us as Black people in this country to not spent our money in Black businesses, and then turn around and speak of White monopoly. I don't see how we are going to ensure that Black businesses grow unless we actually invest in them. We must do so not with our politics only, but with our money too. And we must not apologise for it.
