LEAD STORY — ZAMBIA VOTES: CAN ECONOMIC RECOVERY REACH ORDINARY PEOPLE?

Millions of Zambians went to the polls Thursday in a presidential and parliamentary election that has become a test of whether improving economic indicators can translate into better everyday lives.

President Hakainde Hichilema is seeking a second term after overseeing Zambia's emergence from its 2020 sovereign-debt default and a period of renewed economic growth. But high living costs and persistent poverty remain major concerns for voters.

Zambia is also Africa's second-largest copper producer, making the election economically important beyond its borders as global powers compete for access to minerals essential for electrification and new technologies.

CONFIRMED: Voting took place Thursday, August 13. Reuters reported the process was largely peaceful, although some polling stations experienced delays. Official results are expected by Monday.

ANALYSIS: The deeper African question isn't simply who wins. Zambia illustrates a challenge confronting governments across the continent: economic statistics can improve while households still struggle.

Debt restructuring and GDP growth matter—but citizens ultimately judge economic progress through jobs, food prices, electricity, housing and opportunity.

WHY IT MATTERS: Zambia's experience offers Cameroon and other African economies an important lesson: macroeconomic recovery becomes meaningful when ordinary families can feel it.

📰 FOUR OTHER STORIES WORTH KNOWING

🇨🇲 Cameroon graduates 1,500 young civic volunteers. Cameroon marked the graduation of 1,500 National Civic Service volunteers on August 13, with ceremonies across all 10 regions following civic and leadership training. Why it matters: Africa's youth challenge cannot be solved by speeches alone. Structured pathways into leadership, skills, service and employment can help young people become contributors to national development.

🇨🇲 Digital learning gets another push in Cameroon. A UNESCO delegation assessed progress at the Nkolfolou Multimedia Centre near Yaoundé this week, examining equipment and remaining work needed to make the facility fully operational. Why it matters: Cameroon still faces major learning challenges. Digital infrastructure can expand access to skills, but technology creates impact only when accompanied by connectivity, teachers, relevant content and sustained maintenance.

🇺🇬 Uganda holds interest rates steady. The Bank of Uganda kept its key lending rate unchanged Thursday, saying higher oil prices had not yet created broader inflationary pressure. Why it matters: Inflation and interest rates eventually reach households through food prices, borrowing costs, business investment and jobs. Understanding central-bank decisions should therefore not be reserved for economists.

🌊 Massive oil spill threatens Oman's coastline. A huge slick from a grounded tanker has reached Oman's coast and threatens sensitive marine ecosystems. Reuters reports the spill has spread across more than 2,000 square kilometres, while difficult conditions are complicating containment efforts. Why it matters: Environmental disasters quickly become economic disasters—affecting fishing, tourism, livelihoods and public resources. For coastal African economies, prevention and emergency-response capacity are essential investments.

⚽ CAMEROON WATCH — ONE MORE REASON TO CELEBRATE

The Indomitable Lionesses' extraordinary WAFCON run remains one of Cameroon's most uplifting stories.

Cameroon defeated host Morocco 3–1 on penalties after a goalless semifinal, setting up Sunday's Women's Africa Cup of Nations final against Malawi.

And Sunday's winner will make history: neither Cameroon nor Malawi has previously won the women's African championship.

THRIVE TV SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW

PROF. AKISAH BETRAND

Personal Development Trainer | Public Speaker | Business Consultant | Entrepreneur | Author

THRIVE TV INTRODUCTION

Today on Thrive TV, we spotlight Prof. Akisah Betrand, a personal development trainer, public speaker, business consultant, entrepreneur, mindset builder, and creative thinker with over 10 years of experience in personal development.

Prof. Akisah is dedicated to empowering individuals with practical skills for personal, career, and business growth.

He is the Founder and Director of D.S.R Academy — Discover Success and Riches Academy, an institution focused on creative thinking and personal development, and the Founder of DARE TV SHOW. Through these platforms, he is committed to developing leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals.

Through his training programs, mentorship, speaking, and consulting, Prof. Akisah has inspired young people to build confidence, develop profitable skills, embrace creative thinking, and create sustainable income opportunities.

He is also the international award-winning author of The Secret Science of Becoming Successful and has embraced a vision of becoming a leading teacher and professor of the principles and laws of success.

His mission is simple but ambitious: to transform minds, build leaders, and equip people with the knowledge, practical skills, and mindset needed to achieve lasting success and make meaningful contributions to society.

Beyond his professional work, Prof. Akisah is a family man. He is married to Akisah Precious, and they have a son, Akisah Dexlen. He hails from Bamunkumbit village in the Balikumbat Subdivision.

Today, Thrive TV sits down with him to explore his journey, philosophy, challenges, relationship with CANASA, and vision for the future.

THRIVE TV:

Prof. Akisah, what inspired your journey into public speaking and leadership?

PROF. AKISAH:

My journey into public speaking was inspired by my desire to teach my generation a new form of education—one that prepares people for real-life success.

As my vision developed, I realized that public speaking was not simply something I wanted to do; it was a necessary skill if I was going to communicate my ideas and bring my vision to fruition.

My desire to serve my generation eventually led me into leadership as well. For me, speaking and leadership are ultimately tools for educating, empowering, and serving people.

THRIVE TV:

Was there a particular moment when you realized that your work was beginning to have an impact?

PROF. AKISAH:

Yes. One of the defining moments of my journey happened in 2018.

People who had been following my work began reaching out and asking me to train them.

Interestingly, at the time, I didn't even have a formal business structure. I simply had ideas, knowledge, and a desire to share what I was learning.

When people started requesting training, I realized there was a genuine need for what I was teaching. That became an important turning point in my journey.

THRIVE TV:

What do you enjoy most about speaking and communicating with people?

PROF. AKISAH:

I enjoy being able to share ideas with people.

Research is very important to me, so one of my greatest joys is standing before an audience and sharing something new that I have discovered through my research.

I love those moments when an idea causes someone to think differently or see a possibility they hadn't considered before.

THRIVE TV:

Every meaningful journey comes with challenges. What has been one of your biggest?

PROF. AKISAH:

One of my biggest challenges has been having people not believe in my ideas or vision.

It can be very frustrating when you see something clearly but the people around you don't see or understand what you see.

Eventually, I learned that I couldn't build my life around everyone's approval.

I decided to believe in myself, remain focused on the vision, and continue doing the work regardless of whether everyone understood it.

THRIVE TV:

You are also a member of CANASA. What impact has the association had on your journey?

PROF. AKISAH:

Being a member of CANASA — the Cameroon National Speakers Association has benefited me greatly.

CANASA is one of the organizations that recognized my work and honored me with an Award of Excellence in Leadership.

That recognition strengthened my professional profile and credibility, both nationally and internationally.

It showed me how important professional communities can be in recognizing people's work, creating opportunities, and helping professionals grow.

THRIVE TV:

What does effective communication mean to you?

PROF. AKISAH:

I believe effective communication is one of the best ways to share knowledge and education.

Education has the power to transform individuals, organizations, and entire communities.

But knowledge alone isn't enough. We must be able to communicate that knowledge in a way that people can understand, apply, and use to transform their lives.

For me, communication is therefore a vehicle for transformation.

THRIVE TV:

What advice would you give to a young person who wants to become a speaker or leader?

PROF. AKISAH:

My first advice is: invest in yourself.

Acquire sufficient and valuable knowledge. Build practical skills. Develop your mind and become competent at what you do.

Don't pursue speaking simply because you want a microphone or pursue leadership because you want a title.

Develop yourself until you have something valuable to give people.

Then be willing to serve with a heart full of grace.

THRIVE TV:

What are the core values behind the Prof. Akisah brand?

PROF. AKISAH:

The values that have guided my life and career are:

Integrity. Discipline. Service. Excellence.

These aren't values I only want to speak about. They are values I want people to experience when they encounter me or work with me.

If someone works with Prof. Akisah, I want them to experience integrity in how I conduct myself, discipline in how I work, excellence in what I deliver, and service in how I treat people.

THRIVE TV:

Where do you see yourself and your work in the next five years?

PROF. AKISAH:

In the next five years, I see myself becoming a dominant voice in the personal development industry, particularly in the areas of personal development, career development, and business development.

I want to expand my research, training, mentorship, consulting, and educational platforms.

Through D.S.R Academy, DARE TV SHOW, and the other initiatives I develop, I want to equip more leaders, entrepreneurs, young people, and professionals with practical skills for succeeding in the real world.

My vision is bigger than building a personal brand. I want to build people.

THRIVE TV:

Finally, what message would you like to leave with the CANASA community and everyone following this interview?

PROF. AKISAH:

Become an instrument of service to humanity.

Develop your mind. Build valuable skills. Pursue excellence. Remain disciplined. Protect your integrity.

But as you become successful, never forget the reason we develop ourselves in the first place.

Our knowledge should serve people.

Our leadership should serve people.

Our businesses should create value for people.

And our success should make a meaningful contribution to society.

When success becomes service, our influence becomes significant.

— Prof. Akisah Betrand

🇨🇩 LEAD STORY: DR CONGO MOVES TO KEEP MORE OF ITS MINERAL WEALTH AT HOME

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has taken a major economic step: the government has banned exports of copper and cobalt concentrates, seeking to force more processing of these valuable minerals inside the country rather than exporting them in less-processed form. The measure was confirmed in an official order reported by Reuters on August 6.

Confirmed: The ban covers copper and cobalt concentrates. Congo is a globally important source of cobalt and a major copper producer, making the decision potentially significant for international supply chains.

Analysis: The bigger African story is value addition. For decades, many African economies have exported raw or lightly processed resources and then imported higher-value finished products. Congo's move represents an attempt to capture more processing, industrial activity and potentially employment domestically. Implementation, electricity, infrastructure, investment and regulatory stability will determine how much of that ambition becomes reality.

Why Thrive TV should care: This raises a question extending far beyond mining: How can African countries stop exporting opportunities together with their raw materials?

📰 FOUR STORIES WORTH YOUR ATTENTION

🇨🇲 Cameroon — Biya's prolonged absence remains under scrutiny. Paul Biya has been out of public view for roughly 58 days, while presidential decrees this week reshuffled senior military leadership. Africanews reported renewed public concern on August 6; Reuters reported the military changes on August 4. Why it matters: Beyond speculation about one individual, the useful conversation is about institutional continuity, transparent public communication and confidence in government.

🇳🇬 Nigeria — More than 300 kidnapping victims reported rescued. Nigerian authorities say security operations freed more than 300 people abducted in Kwara and Niger states, including 163 people from Kwara and 145 from Niger. Why it matters: Insecurity carries an enormous human and economic cost. Successful rescue operations matter, but sustainable progress requires preventing kidnappings and making communities safer.

🇿🇦 South Africa — Xenophobia is beginning to hurt businesses. Reuters reports that clothing factories in Newcastle are struggling after anti-migrant protests drove thousands of migrant workers away, exposing how social instability can quickly become an economic problem. Why it matters: For young Africans considering regional migration, entrepreneurship or employment, this illustrates how interconnected migration policy, social cohesion and economic productivity have become.

Science — Humanity gets its sharpest-ever look at the Sun's surface. Scientists have captured exceptionally detailed images revealing previously unseen structures on the Sun's surface, AP reported August 5. Why it matters: Science stories deserve space in African media too. Discoveries like this can inspire young people toward astronomy, engineering, physics and other STEM careers.

📲 SOCIAL CAPTION

AFRICA HAS THE RESOURCES. THE BIG QUESTION IS: WHO CAPTURES THE VALUE?

DR Congo is moving to keep more copper and cobalt processing at home.

Nigeria reports hundreds of kidnapping victims rescued.

South African businesses are feeling the economic consequences of anti-migrant unrest.

And scientists have given humanity an extraordinary new view of the Sun.

At Thrive TV, news isn't just about what happened. We ask what does it mean for you?

Today's Big Question: Should African countries increasingly restrict exports of raw natural resources until more processing happens locally?

YES or NO — and why?

Thrive TV Exclusive Interview

From Adversity to Impact: A Conversation with Fonyuy Catherine Limnyuy

Host: Welcome to Thrive TV. Today we are honored to host an inspiring leader, coach, entrepreneur, and community builder whose journey is a powerful reminder that our greatest challenges can become the foundation of our greatest purpose.

Joining us today is Fonyuy Catherine Limnyuy, Founder and President of Greenlight Empowerment Global (GREG), author of The Survivor, personal development coach, and entrepreneur.

Welcome to Thrive TV, Catherine.

1. Tell us about yourself. Who is Fonyuy Catherine Limnyuy?

Catherine:
Thank you for having me.

I am a passionate, enthusiastic, and purpose-driven Cameroonian who believes every individual has the potential to succeed when given the right opportunities and support.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Theatre, Television and Film Studies from the University of Bamenda. I am a Personal Development Coach, author, entrepreneur, and community builder.

I founded Greenlight Empowerment Global (GREG) to empower young people—especially girls—through leadership, entrepreneurship, personal development, and community engagement. I also own Eleganzer Wears, a men's fashion brand that provides quality outfits for modern professionals.

Everything I do is centered around helping people discover their potential and become better versions of themselves.

---

2. What inspired your journey into public speaking, leadership, and communication?

Catherine:
Ironically, my greatest inspiration came from one of my biggest disappointments.

I once lost an opportunity I desperately needed simply because I lacked confidence and couldn't express myself effectively in public.

That experience taught me a lesson I'll never forget: if people don't hear your voice, they may never discover your value.

I committed myself to personal development, communication, and leadership. Today, I help others overcome the very obstacles that once held me back.

---

3. What has been one of the defining moments of your life?

Catherine:
One moment that completely changed my life happened when my father told me he could no longer sponsor my education and advised me to get married instead.

As a young woman with dreams and ambitions, I felt devastated.

But instead of giving up, I chose to fight for my future. I began searching for work, rebuilding my confidence, and creating opportunities for myself.

Looking back, that painful moment became the turning point that shaped the woman I am today.

---

4. What makes your message unique whenever you speak?

Catherine:
Authenticity.

I don't speak from theory alone.

I speak from lived experiences.

Everything I teach has been tested in my own life. I don't simply motivate people—I share practical truths that inspire lasting transformation.

---

5. What has been your biggest challenge as a speaker?

Catherine:
Finding platforms where my voice could be heard.

Instead of waiting for opportunities, I decided to create one.

That decision led to the birth of Greenlight Empowerment Global, where we mentor and empower young girls and communities to overcome their struggles and discover their purpose.

Sometimes, when the stage doesn't exist, you build it yourself.

---

6. How has CANASA influenced your journey?

Catherine:
CANASA has been one of the greatest communities in my leadership journey.

It has connected me with incredible minds who continually inspire, challenge, and encourage me.

It has also given me consistent opportunities to practice my public speaking, improve my leadership skills, and grow alongside other professionals.

---

7. Why is communication important for leaders?

Catherine:
Every one of us carries valuable stories, lessons, and experiences that could change someone else's life.

Without effective communication, those lessons remain hidden.

Leadership is not just about having great ideas.

It's about communicating them clearly enough to inspire action and create positive change.

---

8. What advice would you give young women and aspiring speakers?

Catherine:
Start where you are.

Don't wait for the perfect stage, the perfect audience, or the perfect opportunity.

Learn.

Practice.

Keep improving.

Every great speaker began with a small audience before reaching larger platforms.

Consistency will take you where confidence alone cannot.

---

9. What values guide your life?

Catherine:
Integrity.

Honesty.

Respect.

These values shape every decision I make and every relationship I build.

---

10. Where do you see yourself in the next five years?

Catherine:
I see myself becoming an internationally sought-after community builder, leadership coach, and sustainability ambassador.

My greatest desire is to create lasting impact by empowering younger generations to become responsible leaders and change-makers.

---

11. What strengths do you bring to leadership?

Catherine:
I bring strong leadership, audience engagement, effective communication, and meaningful relationship-building.

I believe leadership is ultimately about serving people, inspiring growth, and creating opportunities for others to thrive.

---

12. Finally, what message would you like to leave with CANASA members and our viewers around the world?

Catherine:
Believe in yourself.

Never underestimate the power of your story.

Someone is waiting to hear what you've experienced.

Your voice may become the encouragement someone else needs to keep going.

So don't hide your story.

Share it.

Because your testimony could become someone else's breakthrough.

WEST AFRICA FLOODS RAISE FRESH CLIMATE WARNING

Thousands of people across parts of Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, and Côte d'Ivoire have been displaced after severe flooding triggered by unusually intense rainfall.

Scientists from the World Weather Attribution initiative say climate change made this extreme rainfall about five times more likely than it would have been in a pre-industrial climate. They estimate rainfall intensity has increased by roughly 23%, making destructive floods more frequent across the region.

The Guardian
Why this matters
Africa contributes relatively little to global greenhouse gas emissions, yet many African communities are among the most vulnerable to climate-related disasters.

For Cameroon and other African countries, the story is a reminder that investing in early warning systems, resilient infrastructure, and environmental protection is becoming an economic necessity, not just an environmental issue.

Engagement Question
Do you think African governments are investing enough to prepare communities for climate disasters, or should prevention become a higher national priority?
