Tim began his career at Nutrien in 2015 as a Process Engineer, and he served in a variety of roles across the operation before being promoted to his current role of Chief Metallurgical Engineer in 2019. In this position, Tim provides expertise and technical support for the plant’s recovery improvements, experimental development, process control and capital and investment projects. He also works on many environmental, mechanical, process and continuous improvement initiatives at the site. The best part of his day? Collaboration and mentorship. “What drives me is the level of commitment and teamwork at Rocanville. We always work as a team, which is something I lacked at several of the mines I worked at before,” Tim explains. “My passion is to mentor young, upcoming engineers, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to support a team of six engineers in training in the metallurgical engineering department.” When he’s not at work, Tim gives back to his community in much the same way. He volunteers with the Association of Professional Engineers & Geoscientists of Saskatchewan’s (APEGS) Kindergarten to Grade 12 Program and the Canadian Mineral Processors’ (CMP) Mentorship Program and serves as a judge at a Regina high school science fair. On top of that, his involvement with CMP – a branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) – includes previous positions as Co-Chair (2020), Technical Chair (2018-2019) and a member of the National Executive Committee. Tim also provides consulting support for engineering applicants from outside Canada and engineering candidates applying for their professional designation. As a result of his dedication to the engineering profession and his community, Tim achieved the 2021 CIM Presidents’ Role Model Medal, which is awarded to individuals for setting an outstanding example and recognizing their early career accomplishments as a role model within CIM. “I’m proud to be recognized for this award and to work at Nutrien,” he says. “When I first started at Rocanville, I met a lot of employees who had been working at the site for 30 years, and I wondered how they did it – now on my sixth year with the company, I get it. At Nutrien, we are one team, all looking out for each other under our culture of care, and that’s the best part about working here.”  In my role I track the global agricultural fundamentals that help in predicting short to long-term trends driving the future direction of the global agriculture industry. I also develop and update various economic models. These models are used to estimate and predict crop input expenditure in our [...] Nutrien’s Community Relations & Investment (CRI) supports our business purpose by nurturing communities through collaborations with community partners who share our values and help us to make a positive and lasting impact in the communities where we operate. “While we share CRI data and stories [...] Did you know that Nutrien has a Genotyping lab?

(Business in Cameroon) - The Douala Urban Community (CUD) is planning to build an affordable housing development on a 9-hectare site in Mbanga-Bakoko located in the third district of the economic capital The project will be situated on remaining land dedicated to social housing in the area and the site can be accessed via two entrances—one to the north from the Chirac neighborhood and a southern entrance (currently under development) connecting directly to National Route No The development will consist of 10 buildings each with six floors above ground and one basement offering a total of 360 medium- and high-standard housing units The plan also includes a multi-sport gymnasium for indoor football and basketball; a swimming pool with surrounding commercial spaces; a party hall complex; three office buildings; landscaped areas; a drainage system; and parking spaces "We are currently working on a call for tenders to secure financing and management for the project," said an official from the CUD This suggests that a public-private partnership (PPP) will likely be the preferred financing model for the development The initiative aims to provide new housing in a city with nearly 4 million residents with about 10,000 newcomers arriving each month This new urban development complements government efforts to address the country's housing deficit Official figures show that Cameroon has a shortfall of around 2.5 million social housing units the government launched a program in 2009 to build 10,000 social housing units along with the development of 50,000 buildable plots nearly 2,000 units have been completed in cities such as Yaoundé Kribi Bitumen Plant Set to Start Construction in 2025 with Government Backing CEMAC Bond Market Hits CFA 8.45 Trillion in March 2025,

electrified mobility and exposure to the broader energy sector particularly the appliance standards and labelling programme intrigued me due to the significant energy-saving potential in this sector my interest in local protection regulation and international trade further motivated me to take on this challenge The energy efficiency standards and labeling (S&L) programme has achieved several milestones We successfully transitioned from a voluntary to a mandatory program enforcing compliance with minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) and energy efficiency labelling for appliances This has maximised energy savings and helped us meet national energy conservation goals We've also expanded MEPS to include general service lamps and electric motors Another significant achievement is the upcoming redesign of the South African Energy Efficiency Label This redesign is necessary to reflect advancements in technology and higher efficiency levels of modern appliances We are also exploring the replication of this success in other sectors Developing water efficiency labels for plumbing fixtures and water-consuming devices is a promising area of opportunity The S&L programme has a strong focus on awareness creation and capacity building We actively engage young people by appointing and training them as promoters to educate the public about energy efficiency labels I mentor young talents like Motlatsi Litabe and Kwena Matlwa whose innovative approaches align with our mission.Sanedi's ongoing internship programme further provides opportunities for young professionals to gain experience and contribute to the energy sector's future Our internship program typically spans 12-24 months and targets graduates in various fields We also welcome graduates in supporting functions like legal The programme offers a balanced blend of applying academic knowledge to real-world challenges and providing further education and development through tailored plans This approach equips interns with the skills and experience needed to thrive in the broader energy sector SAFEE focuses on promoting and exposing more women to the energy management field through coaching influencing conversations on key energy platforms and aligning our actions with the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy's Women Empowerment and Gender Equality Strategy The globalisation of electric mobility presents an interesting challenge for South Africa as we currently rely on exports of internal combustion engine vehicles As international markets shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) we will need to adapt to meet the demands of this convergence between electricity and mobility Households also have a unique opportunity to contribute by generating power from sources like rooftop solar and potentially even transferring excess energy back to the grid This could be revolutionary for a country facing electricity shortages While these concepts have been explored in South Africa before and uncertainties around energy supply have slowed progress globalisation may force the necessary changes in the future Having energy efficiency specialists with diverse backgrounds will be an asset in navigating these complex issues Energy efficiency is a collective responsibility and we must all strive to use scarce resources wisely Choose a topic below and thereafter view all

Mbanga was a musical “freedom fighter” who articulated the daily injustices he witnessed in his songs – and was punished hard for his right to express them the country which gave him asylum in 2012 at a time when he had to leave Cameroon under dramatic circumstances “Authorities in Cameroon continued to harass and threaten Lapiro even after he was released and we needed to find an urgent solution,” told Freemuse Director Ole Reitov Lapiro was given refugee asylum in the United States “Lapiro said that Freemuse ‘saved his life’ He often told us that he ‘was ready to die’ but we never felt we were ready to loose him,” said Ole Reitov He will always be remembered as ‘the people’s voice’ against corruption and power abuse.” newspapers in Cameroon described his death as “a huge loss to Cameroonian music.” Lapiro’s crime allegedly was that amid nationwide strikes and mass demonstrations in 2008 he had composed and recorded the song ‘Constitution Constipée’ in which he describes the country’s president as “caught in the trap of networks that oblige him to stay in power even though he is tired.” The song became an unofficial anthem of the protests and Lapiro was arrested and charged of inciting youth unrest “My struggle has always been to denounce inequalities and danger is part of that mission,” said Lapiro de Mbanga when he was interviewed in 2010 during his unfair imprisonment where he shared a cell with 50 other prisoners The news was conveyed to Lapiro in his prison cell in Cameroon a few hours before the prize ceremony took place at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in attendance of international luminaries such as the celebrated Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf Time Out founder Tony Elliot and Human rights activist Bianca Jagger Lapiro contracted typhoid fever and nearly died of that disorder and respiratory complications In addition to Freemuse’s world-wide campaign for his release Mondomix compiled a CD in support of Lapiro and campaigned actively in France for his release the U.S.-based lawyers’ organization Freedom Now monitored Mbanga’s case throughout his incarceration the Writers in Prison Committee of International PEN also launched a campaign to help win Mbanga’s freedom the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention declared that Mbanga’s arrest was an infringement of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights He was released from prison on 8 April 2011 one day before the official end of his sentence and three of their children left Cameroon for the United States where they had been granted asylum after receiving threats on this life His exile was described by one newspaper as a major loss for the Cameroonian music scene Lapiro de Mbanga – his real name was Lambo Sandjo Pierre Roger – composed and recorded what Index on Censorship has described as “a long list of biting texts on the socio-economic realities in his beleaguered country.” His hit songs during the 1980s and 1990s were regularly censored by the Cameroonian government and he was seen as a spokesman for the youth of his country using the power of popular music to campaign for social reforms in his native Cameroon during three decades a book detailing Mbanga’s trial and the reasons for his exile (Cabale Politico-Judiciaire Ou La Mort Programmée D’Un Combatant De La Liberté) has been said to be “due for release soon” Cameroon has still not paid compensation to Lapiro and his family Nasilele Mbanga is a 27-year-old nurse at Nankudu District Hospital located approximately 120 kilometres west of Rundu who exemplifies that genuine community service transcends fame and recognition She is a devoted civil servant who personifies care compassion and unwavering commitment to the noble profession Her journey into nursing was motivated by a profound aspiration to positively impact the lives of others.  After earning her nursing certificate from Welwitchia Health Training Centre in 2022 opting to work as a nurse in a rural healthcare facility where medical services are frequently needed “It has always been my dream to be a nurse as I love caring for people and it has always been my dream to work for the government,” she noted.  Numerous rural communities in Namibia face challenges in accessing health education and preventive healthcare services.  nurses such as Mbanga are essential in closing this gap “I don’t just focus on treating diseases; I also focus on empowering people to understand how to avoid getting sick in the first place,” she stated Mbanga’s passion and expertise have proven invaluable to the Ministry of Health and Social Services Her contribution to healthcare in the rural region cannot be overstated “Being part of a team dedicated to healing and recovery is truly fulfilling especially when it comes to the joy of helping women through normal childbirth,” she shared she faces numerous challenges in her daily life as a nurse One of the most difficult aspects of her job is the emotional toll of losing patients.  although I would have done everything I can to save the person,” she observed.  she frequently encounters the threat of infectious diseases and injuries in her profession Working in a rural hospital requires her to remain vigilant and ready for any circumstances that may arise The conditions of numerous healthcare institutions further complicate her role as many of these facilities are old and lack sufficient funding resulting in a sub-optimal working environment for healthcare professionals she derives fulfilment from the positive difference she makes in her patients’ lives “What I find most satisfying about my job is making a real difference in people’s lives providing comfort and offering support during vulnerable times,” she said.  When asked about memorable moments in her career she reflected on the times when she was able to provide life-saving treatment or offer emotional support to patients during their most difficult moments.  “There is nothing more rewarding than knowing you helped someone through a tough time,” she continued She believes that working for the public sector allows her to serve the community in a way that truly makes a difference.  “What I like most about working for the government is the ability to be part of something bigger than myself It’s about serving the people and helping improve their lives,” she beamed Mbanga is aware of the misconceptions that some people have about public servants.  “There is a big misconception that people like me I work hard every day to provide the best care possible for my patients and we take pride in our work,” she countered.  she wants to remain committed and be in public service for as long as she can Her goal is to continue making a difference in people’s lives and to improve the healthcare system in rural areas I would like to pursue further education in nursing and specialise in areas such as maternal health or infectious diseases I hope to continue growing as an individual and contribute even more to the community that has supported me I wish to make an even greater impact on the lives of the people I serve and to inspire others to join the healthcare profession,” she emphasised Mbanga added that working for the government is rewarding as there’s stability and a fair working balance and ensures that you have an income for the rest of your life.  -pmukokobi@nepc.com.na About Us Vacancies Procurement Gallery Contact Us We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience We use cookies to help you navigate efficiently and perform

Lapiro de Mbanga has been granted asylum in the USA and arrived safely with his family yesterday. Lapiro de Mbanga was imprisoned in Cameroon for three years for a song criticizing President Biya. In his song ‘Constipated Constitution’ Mbanga criticized President Paul Biya for changing the constitution in his own favor. The song became an anthem for demonstrators in Cameroon in 2008 and in order to silence de Mbanga, false charges were made against him. The singer was charged for inciting demonstrators to burn down a banana plantation. Freemuse and other freedom of expression organizations launched several international campaigns for his release and in 2009 initiated a partnership with Freedom Now, a US based advocacy organization. Earlier this year The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention issued a legal opinion declaring that the detention of Lapiro de Mbanga, one of Cameroon’s most famous singers, by the Cameroonian Government was completely arbitrary and a violation of international law, specifically the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. In spite of this the government in Cameroon has made no attempts to compensate the singer, who has continued to receive anonymous threats. Last week Lapiro and his family managed to leave Cameroon and stayed in a neighboring country waiting for all papers to be cleared. This morning he told Freemuse that the family has now arrived safely in USA. comment puis-je contacter Lapiro de Mbanga? Your email address will not be published.

So it is really true?! Even his Wiki page has been updated. We are so sad at the death of the people's ambassador #LapiroDeMbanga #RIP — ModeMaisonPR (@ModeMaisonPR) March 16, 2014 The video below shows him performing live in Yaounde chiefly directed at Cameroonian President Paul Biya's regime former editor-in-chief of the Cameroon Post newspaper Friends accuse Biya govt of refusing Lapiro treatment for cancer he contacted while in jail which led to his death in the US today — ChiefBisong Etahoben (@ChiefBisongEta1) March 16, 2014 This information was confirmed by Jacob Nguni, de Mbanga’s close friend and former guitarist with the late Prince Nico Mbarga’s Rocafill Jazz band, who was quoted [fr] saying: Il s'agit d'un acte criminel de la part des autorités camerounaises Lapiro est mort d'une maladie qui avait été détectée dès sa première année en prison… Un ordre explicite avait été donné de ne pas le soigner Cette information avait été communiquée à Lapiro lui-même pendant qu'il était derrière les barreaux… Au moment où il sort de prison et qu'il arrive finalement aux USA il était un peu trop tard pour le sauver… Lapiro avait été curieusement libéré parce que les autorités camerounaises qui connaissaient la vérité sur sa maladie ne voulaient pas qu'il meurt en prison… This is a criminal act carried out by Cameroonian authorities Lapiro died from an illness that was detected as early as his first year in prison… An explicit order was given not to give him treatment Lapiro was informed of this while he was behind bars… By the time he came out of prison and finally made it to the US it was already too late to save him… Incidentally Lapiro was set free because Cameroonian authorities knew the truth about his illness and did not want him to die in prison Nguni’s claim was not new. In fact, de Mbanga himself had said as much during a May 2013 interview [fr] To former Cameroon Radio Television (CRTV) journalist Boh Herbert his death was more than just a case of negligence: that the government of Cameroon has specialized in administering death to its most formidable political opponents and dissidents using prison as the slaughter house or as the transit station “en route” to the grave We also now know that denying medical care to prisoners is not just negligence Cameroonians were already pointing an accusing finger at Biya regime Paul Biya must be very happy man this evening, with the news of #LapiroDeMbanga‘s death — Cameroon Community (@Cameroon_Com) March 16, 2014 promising retribution for the president and his associates: Lapiro De Mbanga – Fogoh Mawoh: I have not stopped playing this music Biya and his associates will pay someday.Rest in Peace Lapiro — Gerald Meh (@Geraldmeh83) March 17, 2014 The outpouring of grief for de Mbanga was widespread Sa mort me touche, son sacrifice, son combat , sa vie , son oeuvre l'élèvent au rang des héros de notre cher pays. #RIPLapirodeMbanga (3/3) — cameroonbasket (@cameroonbasket) March 16, 2014 and his works elevate him to the rank of a hero in our beloved country @SolomonAtah simply thanked him for the music: Thank you for sharing your life with the world through you music – proud to share a country with you. #LapiroDeMbanga #Lapiro #AdieuTara — Solomon Atah (@SolomonAtah) March 17, 2014 @NgumNgafor highlighted one of de Mbanga’s lasting legacies: the new lingo that he introduced and made popular in Cameroon: Wt a cool new street speak that cut across social class and spoke truth to power, #Lapiro quickly became a national treasure. #RIPNdingaman — Ngum Ngafor (@NgumNgafor) March 16, 2014 Many of the tributes to Lapiro were written in his unique brand of Cameroonian Pidgin English One such tribute was from @kathleenNdongmo: #RIPLapiroDeMbanga – ndinga man man for complices dem… we go di mimba you — Kathleen Ndongmo (@KathleenNdongmo) March 18, 2014 Award-winning blogger @Ngimbis demonstrated the impact of de Mbanga’s music on language: Peace l'artiste.

These were his last wishes – a major blow to his fans in Cameroon who, according to the state-owned CRTV “have been crying out for the remains to be brought back to Cameroon so their hero can be given a befitting burial” As one fan commented [fr] on an article about his May 29 funeral service in Buffalo La plus grande erreur de Lapiro était de donner consigne qu'on l'enterre aux USA Lapiro était note héro et le peuple camerounais avait besoin de voir et de recevoir son corps au pays La levée de son corps à l'aéroport de Douala devrait amener une bonne masse et même tout la population de douala et d'autre ville du Cameroun… Vraiment le refus d'aller au pays avec le Corps de Dinga Man me choque Lapiro’s greatest error was to demand he should be buried in the United States Lapiro was our hero and the Cameroonian people needed to see and receive his corpse at home The collection of his body from the Douala airport would have brought out the masses and probably the entire population of Douala and other towns… the refusal to take Ndinga Man’s corpse home is shocking This was de Mbanga’s last act of defiance against a regime noted for hijacking the funerals of its staunchest opponents – some whom it pushed to an early grave – and using them as platforms to garner political legitimacy. As Boh Herbert pointed out: After decades of never-ending police harassment including the sabotage of his means of livelihood such as the burning down of his nightclub in Mbanga… after three years in prison… it is instead “Ngatta Man” [prisoner] as Lapiro renamed himself after his time in the big house… who by denying the regime in Yaounde the never-ending affixing of medals of honor on those it kills In the end, the “sheriff of the backyards” who drew his strength from the warmth of the downtrodden in Cameroon will paradoxically end up in the distant US – without the massive farewell that his “complices” or partners-in-crime in the streets had hoped for Here's a #Cameroonian paying tribute to our departed brother #LapiroDeMbanga. “We will never forget you” RIp pic.twitter.com/xKC2WzMY9F — Cameroon Community (@Cameroon_Com) March 21, 2014 ERROR: SECURITY TIMEOUT - Please copy your message to a backup location Global Voices stands out as one of the earliest and strongest examples of how media committed to building community and defending human rights can positively influence how people experience events happening beyond their own communities and national borders Please consider making a donation to help us continue this work Donate now […] Nicknamed The General by his fans Valsero came into the limelight in 2009 with a song titled “Lettre au President” (Letter to the President) in which he called on Biya to rein in Cameroon’s “plundering and arrogant” ruling elite and give Cameroon’s alienated and marginalized young people a chance “Lettre au President” established Valsero as the voice of the downtrodden alongside protest singer Lapiro de Mbanga “Lettre au President” established Valsero as the voice of the downtrodden alongside protest singer Lapiro de Mbanga Authors, please log in » Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Stay up to date about Global Voices and our mission.

Pathogenic MDR E. coli that affects humans and animals have been reported in the water environment (6–8) studies that employ sequencing technologies to investigate environmental E coli or any other bacteria are rare in Africa there is little information regarding environmental isolates and their association with other isolates from clinical and agricultural sources We sought to compare the genomics of MDR environmental E coli isolates belonging to various pathotypes obtained from a WWTP and its receiving waters using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatics tools in terms of their lineages and phylogenies to determine associations/correlations with clinical Ethical approval was received from the Biomedical Research Ethics Committee (Reference: BCA444/16) of the University of KwaZulu-Natal Permission to collect water samples was sought and granted by Umgeni Water which owns and operates the investigated WWTP A longitudinal antibiotic resistance surveillance study was undertaken in the uMgungundlovu District, one of 11 districts in the coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Water samples were collected fortnightly for 7 months from May to November 2018 at the largest urban WWTP in the district. Manual grab water samples were collected in sterile 500-ml containers according to Kalkhajeh et al. (9) upstream (29°36′10.73″S and 30°25′29.97″E) downstream (29°36′27.54″S 30°27′0.76″E) and from the influent (29°36′3.70″S 30°25′41.71″E) and final effluent (29°35′49.97″S 30°26′19.74″E) of the WWTP The WGS study sample consisted of a subset of 12 MDR diarrhoeagenic isolates obtained from the upstream The selection of isolates was based on their antibiograms and pathotypes The assembled genomes were analyzed for multilocus sequence typing (MLST) sequence types (STs) on the MLST 1.8 database hosted by the Center for Genomic Epidemiology (CGE) (http://cge.cbs.dtu.dk/services/MLST/). Isolates without STs were submitted to the EnteroBase Escherichia/Shigella database (https://enterobase.warwick.ac.uk/species/index/ecoli) and assigned novel STs Mutations conferring resistance to fluoroquinolones were determined from the assembled genomes using BLASTN (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch) DNA gyrase (gyrA and gyrB) and DNA topoisomerase IV (parC and parE) genes and the reference strain E coli ATCC 25922 (Accession number: CP009072) were aligned with the genomes of this study using BLASTN The mutations in the isolate of the genomes of this study were manually curated and tabulated or bird) or from the environment were highlighted with the same color The 12 E. coli isolates investigated in this study were obtained from the WWTP and its associated waters. Seven isolates were from the downstream site, four were from the upstream site, and one isolate was obtained from the final effluent. The isolates belonged to the diarrheagenic group of E. coli; seven were EAEC, three were EIEC, with one EHEC, and one EPEC (Supplementary Table 2) The remaining four isolates had unique resistance profiles AMP–TET–AZM–SXT and AMP–AMC–LEX–CTX–CAZ–CRO–FEP–SXT but were all resistant to AMP and mobile genetic elements found in the Escherichia coli isolates The genomic characteristics of the E. coli sequences are presented in Supplementary Table 2. The total assembled genome size ranged from 4.7 to 6.1 MB; the GC content ranged from 50.4 to 51.2; and the N50, L50, and the total number of contigs are also shown in Supplementary Table 2 The quinolone resistance determinant regions (QRDRs) were investigated for mutations in all isolates. The QRDR consists of DNA gyrase (gyrA and gyrB) and DNA topoisomerase IV (parC and parE) genes. The gyrA gene (S83L, D678E, L447M, A828S, and D87N), the gyrB gene (E703D, A618T, E185D, E58D, and I60V), and the parC gene (E62K, D475E, M241I, T718A, and S80I) all had five mutations while the parE had four mutations (V136I*, K146T, D475E, and L416F) (Table 2) Isolate U69 had known mutations gyrA (S83L and D87N) that confers resistance to NAL and CIP and parC (S80I) and parE (L416F) that confer resistance to CIP which contained unique mutations gyrA (D678E* and A828S*) and D475E*) was susceptible to all investigated quinolones Point mutation table for gyrA/B and parC/E genes of environmental E The IncFII was the most detected plasmid replicon, with 10 (83.3%) isolates harboring it (Table 1). The IncFIA (25%), IncFIB (50%), IncQ1 (33.3%), IncI1 (16.7%), Col156 (25%), and Col440I (16.7%) plasmid replicons were also detected in some isolates. Most isolates (83.3%) had more than one plasmid replicon; however, no plasmids were detected in one isolate, U88 (Table 1) there was no unique pattern with respect to the replicon type coli isolates were closely related (98–100% similarity) with target sequences in the GenBank database The rich diversity of ISs and transposons attests to the plasticity of the bacterial genomes and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of ARGs within and between different isolates Mobile genetic elements associated with antibiotic resistance genes in environmental E A total of 45 IS families were detected across the isolates (Supplementary Table 3) There was a great diversity of IS families A total of 19 intact prophages were found across all the investigated isolates (Supplementary Table 3). The Entero_mEp460 and Shigel_sfII were the most common prophages occurring in four different isolates each. The Entero_PsP3 (n = 3), Salmon_Fels_2 (n = 3), and Entero_fAA91_ss (n = 2) also occurred in several isolates. None of the prophages carried ARGs; however, some prophages carried virulence genes (Table 4) The abundance of ISs and prophages in environmental E coli isolates is evidence of a very flexible genome that is constantly gaining and losing genetic elements through mobilizable regions of the genome Mobile genetic elements associated with virulence genes in environmental E Most of the virulence genes and their associated MGEs were similar (98–100%) to target sequences in GenBank with the most hits being for chromosomal sequences coli virulence genes may mostly be carried on chromosomes The somatic (O) and flagellar (H) antigens were used for serotyping environmental E. coli isolates where nine different O antigens and 11 different H types were identified across all isolates. No O type was detected for isolate D18, which only had the H31 antigen (Supplementary Table 2) The complexity and diversity of the virulome coupled with the range of identified capsule types are worrying as they are associated with virulence Environmental isolates have a rich repertoire of virulence genes mobilized mostly by ISs contributing to the dynamic milieu of resistance Figure 1. The phylogenetic branch and metadata [demographics, molecular typing, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)] coupled by the use of Phandango (https://github.com/jameshadfield/phandango/wiki) in isolated multidrug resistant Escherichia coli strains (n = 12) from wastewater sources in South Africa were more closely related to each other and did not cluster with any isolates from animals or humans and may be considered a unique aquatic lineage Circular phylogenomic tree with color annotations depicting the relationship between E coli isolates from this study and South African isolates from diverse sources in the one-health continuum The strains used in this study (from environmental source colored in purple) were basically related to strains from human sources (colored in green) Genomic insights reported in this study revealed the complexity and diversity of lineages coli found in wastewater and river water in Kwazulu Natal intimating that the aquatic environment contains a fluid and dynamic milieu of ARB and ARGs The virulence genes were mostly associated with IS which are probably central in their rearrangement and transfer and ARGs in bacterial isolates is a cause for concern as it may lead to co-selection of ARB this is the second report of the mcr-9 positive isolate in Africa and the first in Southern Africa Isolate U117 had tet(B) and tet(C) flanked by an insertion sequence IS4 (SVa5) which may be important in mobilizing these resistance genes these results revealed that ARGs carried on plasmids predominate the investigated water resistome; however and integrons accentuate the mobility of the plasmid-encoded ARGs and HMRGs The virulome of the environmental isolates investigated in this study revealed a diverse assemblage of virulence genes that are mobilizable and not clone specific The EPEC isolate from this study probably originated from an animal host This study focused on a small subset of MDR and diarrheagenic E its findings may not be generalized for all E Similar studies employing a larger sample size and covering greater geographical area and diversity of E this study adds to the knowledge that pathogenic E coli can survive and be disseminated in the water environment coli isolates have a wealth of ARGs and virulence genes that have been mobilized on diverse MGEs as evident from the different permutations and combinations of ARGs coli STs and pathotypes from the different water sources The findings of this study may not be typical of all WWTPs and river systems in South Africa or beyond but form a basis of the need for surveillance systems that employ high-throughput technologies like WGS to gain genomic insights into the environmental dimensions of AMR Surveillance of ARB in wastewater and associated surface waters could serve as a proxy for local antibiotic resistance and how this changes over time The datasets presented in this study can be found in online repositories.

honing his skills under the tutelage of prolific criminal justice lawyer Mbanga Siyomunji  The young lawyer is a force to reckon with in the legal fraternity while also being an established musician and rapper of note His interest in law was awakened early by notable figures such as Ombudsman Basilius Dyakugha who often discussed legal matters with him during visits to the village Another prominent influence on his decision to pursue a career in law was his brother who was a rapper and also studied law in Russia Vensislaus Mbambo is passionate about music and performs under the name MVK_RAPPER_LAWYER and his music available on various platforms Mbambo’s academic journey can be traced back to Friendly pre-primary school followed by Grades one to five at Noordgrens primary school He did Grades six and seven at Ngondo primary school and eventually completed his secondary education at Dr Romanus Kampungu where he majored in accounting in Grades eight to 10 then switched to pure science in Grades 11 and 12 Mbambo enrolled at the University of Namibia for the LLB four-year programme in 2018 He is currently a candidate legal practitioner at Siyomunji Law Chambers where he has been sharpening his skills in criminal law litigation since October 2022 while also handling civil and labour law cases Mbambo says he has yet to face a prosecutor he would call the ‘worst’.  he has encountered a particularly formidable one this double murder and arson case was challenging Despite the initial denial of bail in the formal application by Magistrate Wilka Amalwa it was eventually granted by Magistrate Surita Savage as the state lacked evidence on a final date for the prosecutor general’s decision He also faced Shivolo in another trial presided over by Magistrate Savage.  was an attempted murder case with a charge of assault GBH He describes prosecutor Van Wyk as the best and toughest prosecutor.  a sentiment shared by many fellow candidates His advice for aspiring lawyers is to be prepared to read extensively Do not pursue this career for quick financial gains as it requires time and dedication to succeed a journalist who once knew Mugabe as a friend but who suffered the President’s wrath when he set up a critical newspaper in Harare leading to 15 years in exile We asked him what his earliest memories of Robert Mugabe were This website is using a security service

working on the construction of the social housing at Mbanga-Bakoko are ordered to deliver the houses before end 2020 This order was instructed by Ahmadou Sardaouna (photo) Director-General of Société immobilière du Cameroun (SIC) during his visit in Douala last February 20 the officer noticed that the execution rate of the construction contracts launched 10 years ago is no more than 50% This glaring lateness in the project aimed at providing additional 10,000 social houses to the government is the fault of companies in charge Many missions conducted on the field over the 10 years revealed that many of those companies do not have good financial standing The contracts with many of them have been canceled but never reattributed COMEDIAN Alexei Sayle celebrated his 61st birthday with the “best ever” present after his missing cat was returned home safe and sound Named after Zimbabwean political exile Wilf Mbanga long-haired cat vanished three weeks ago after running out of the front door at Mr Sayle’s home in Doughty Street Mr Sayle contacted the New Journal after putting up missing cat posters around Bloomsbury The story was picked up by The Independent and The Times newspapers and even discussed on the BBC World Service The good news of Wilf’s return finally came on Monday after a Kuwaiti family staying in Prince Albert Road found the bedraggled cat cowering on their doorstep Somehow he had managed to cross Euston Road during his three weeks on the run The family contacted Mr Sayle and his wife Linda on Monday morning after finding details on the internet Mr Sayle said: “I’m 61 today but this has put 10 years on me.” The family gave him lots of treats and things and seemed really nice.” Wilf Mbanga – believed to be a Maine Coon – was a stray cat who originally turned up without explanation in the garden of Mr Sayle’s friend John Humphrys the BBC journalist and famously fearsome Today programme interviewer Mr Sayle said: “John is not an animal lover He was going to call him ‘Lion’ but we wanted to call him Wilf Mbanga He said he knew Wilf Mbanga because he used to be the Rhodesia [Zimbabwe] correspondent.” a journalist critical of the Mugabe regime who lives in London told the New Journal three weeks ago he was “tickled pink” after hearing Mr Sayle had named his cat after him But he said he would not join the hunt because he was allergic to cats and suffered from severe hay fever Wilf Mbanga said: “I am delighted Wilf Mbanga has been found With world debate focused on the outcome of the Zimbabwean elections and the reinstatement of Robert Mugabe as leader Mr Mbanga appeared on the BBC World Service on Saturday a newsreader also discussed the missing cat named in his honour Ms Sayle’s wife Linda said: “It’s Lexi’s birthday so this is the best present ever.” she said: “God knows what he’s been up to – or how he got across the Euston Road We are all recovering because it has been a very difficult time We’re all really pleased it’s turned out well.” (Business in Cameroon) - The social houses built by the State in Mbanga Bakoko Housing Minister Célestine Ketcha Courtès denounced in a release published on December 20 “It has come to my attention that the Mbanga Bakoko social houses in Douala are leased and subleased  at outrageous costs,” the government official wrote She insisted that such practice likely to undermine the Head of State’s efforts to provide decent and affordable houses to every Cameroonian would not be tolerated the contracts signed by buyers prohibit them from renting or subletting those social houses Anyone caught doing so will be prosecuted and lose ownership of the house acquired "I recently instructed my teams to investigate the rumor establish facts and sanction in accordance with the rules in force," Célestine Ketcha Courtès added in her release This denunciation comes over a year after Ahmadou Sardaouna director-general of Cameroon Real Estate Corporation (SIC) informed about similar situations during a campaign launched in September 2020 to identify tenants of houses managed by the SIC it appeared that over 50% of those living in the Mbanga Bakoko social houses had no contracts with the state real estate corporation "This shows that the state has been plundered by many people This is why we want the law to be enforced,” he concluded "We met with some subtenants concerned about this irregularity We worked with them through a commission we set up and validated some cases We allowed some others two months to register with the commission we will take legal actions and drive them out of our homes,” he added the government has launched a ten-year construction program to build 56 condominiums only 33 were effectively built consisting of 660 apartments.  (Business in Cameroon) - Some of the 3,000 employees of Société des plantations de Mbanga (SPM) an agro-industrial factory which produces the banana dessert in the Moungo department 2014 before the offices of the Directorate General of the company in Douala The workers are demanding the payment of 15 months of back pay the agro-industrial company has been virtually at a standstill only the administrative personnel continue to work two or three days per week This is due to the cash flow tensions that the company has been experiencing for at least two years difficulties have finally led to a halt in production and banana exports The agro-industrial company has been very criticised by civil society the people and local elites such as the late Lapiro from Mbanga who was imprisoned officially for participating in the pillaging of the SPM in February 2008 (he always considered this case to be the settling of a score orchestrated by the SPM) The company is generally accused of exploitation and especially for not paying its taxes thanks to certain privileges with some local authorities These accusations have been picked-up and amplified by Paul Eric Kingué (localities in which SPM also has banana plantations) currently incarcerated for misuse of public funds and always saw the hand of the SPM behind its legal woes “All the societies which produce bananas in the localities of Njombe-Penja make 100 billion FCFA in sales per annum and employees between 8,000 and 10,000 persons whose salaries do not pass 200 million FCFA per annum,” he has decried in numerous open letters written from his prison cell After these claims and a documentary broadcast last year by France 2 on the slave working conditions on Moungo banana plantations a head of the France-Cameroon Chamber of Commerce had announced at its last RSE meeting held by the Competitiveness Committee in Yaoundé that the SPM bananas had been boycotted on the Rungis market in France which is one of the major fruit markets in Europe this information has not been confirmed by the Rungis press relations officer Touching story of 'Wilf Mbanga' is told on Bloomsbury comedian's Radio 4 show Saturday, 2nd December 2017 — By Tom Foot ALEXEI Sayle talked about the Extra’s role in reuniting him with his lost cat on his popular BBC 4 radio show last night (Thursday) Named after a political exile from Zimbabwe the massive Maine Coone was given to Alexei by the Today programme’s John Humphrys after it turned up in the garden and would not leave He was lost for three weeks in 2013 and was found after an appeal by the Extra and our stablemate said: “It’s my last show and I’m going to talk about Wilf Mbanga one of Wilf and one of the real Wilf Mbanga You found out the real Wilf was living in London and got in touch with him about it.” the real Mr Mbanga said he was “tickled pink” to know that Mr Sayle had named his cat after him but would not join the hunt because he was allergic to cat hair He has featured in the press this week following the collapse of the Robert Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe He has written about how he plans to return to his homeland and visit his mother’s grave for the first time Mr Sayle said: “That part of things is a coincidence really But I do feel a sense of parental pride when I see an article by Wilf I feel like my Wilf wrote it.” Wilf is no longer allowed outside because “he really doesn’t know where he is” Mr Sayle’s Imaginary Sandwich Bar show is available on iPlayer LinkedIn became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft in December 2016 and the company’s

value-added services to its customers Once you’re partnering with an international organisation with offices all over the world and sharing daily operational  responsibilities that differentiates you as a global player The story behind this deal is no longer about being black It has become about deliverables and our reputation of being able to deliver on our promises.”  Ayanda Mbanga Communications was established in October 1998 as a media buying agency specialising in recruitment advertising placements They have received numerous awards for their work in this niche industry over the years Moving from traditional markets such as newspapers they made the digital move to online platforms such as LinkedIn The deal has been in the making since 2019 and took two years of rigorous scrutiny and operational unpacking before coming to fruition “We were brought within LinkedIn’s line of sight because of the way we have been operating for the past 23 years it was hard work and being in the right place at the right time Our proven track record was the reason why a small South African business run by competent South African women had been able to become the first certified LinkedIn partner in the country.” Mbanga is adamant that their corporate reputation was key to the deal “We came to the table with hard-earned credentials based on integrity and strict principles we have evolved as a business over the years We stayed on the mark through perseverance and determination private and NGO sectors have consistently supported us over the years because we have consistently given them what we promised them good things will happen to your business.” She is however also firm about the future trajectory of the project “Signing the deal is one thing and the door of opportunity has been opened for us we are going to need the support from our staff Now we need to make things happen.” Mbanga is confident that this deal is also beneficial to South African clients as they can now depend on exceptional service with a global footprint “We are providing ease of doing business in this market for our clients while facilitating these transactions for LinkedIn and complimenting their existing strategy in the region.” This agreement looks to further accelerate LinkedIn’s vision of helping create equitable economic opportunity for every member of the global
