  What KASONDE24 Means to Me: The Story Behind the Name, the Vision and the Journey For some time now, you may have noticed something unusual on my social media pages. Every now and then, another link appears. Then another. And another. The links lead to a website called KASONDE24 . Perhaps you have wondered why I keep sharing articles from the same website. Perhaps you have even asked yourself whether I am simply an influencer promoting the platform. Someone else may have reached a different conclusion and thought, Maybe Rodgers Mangwela owns it. That person would be right. I am KASONDE24 . But KASONDE24 is not simply a blogsite carrying my name. To me, it represents something much bigger: a personal journey, a creative experiment, a connection to my roots and, most importantly, a window through which my people can see the wider world while the wider world gets an opportunity to see ours. It started with Kabwe Buzz HD The story goes back to 2017. At the time, I was s...

  The Princess Who Questioned Europe’s Bloodline: What Did Diana Really Mean by “Original Nobility”? There is something strangely powerful about hearing an old idea come back to life through the voice of someone who lived at the centre of the modern world. “Original nobility” sounds like a phrase rescued from a forgotten European age of castles, royal courts and families who could trace their ancestry through generations of political power. Yet when the phrase is associated with Princess Diana, it becomes much more than a historical curiosity. It takes us into the complicated world from which she came, a world where family names could carry extraordinary weight and where a person's position in society could be determined before they had even taken their first breath. Long before millions of people knew her simply as Princess Diana, she was Diana Frances Spencer, daughter of the 8th Earl Spencer. The Spencer family was part of Britain's established aristocracy, with a l...

  Trump Wants to Call AI “Super Intelligence”, But His UN Speech Opens a Much Bigger Debate The words artificial intelligence have become so familiar that they barely sound strange anymore. AI writes emails, generates music, produces images, translates languages and increasingly performs tasks that once required human experts. But at the United Nations this week, Donald Trump suggested that perhaps the technology has been carrying the wrong name all along. Standing before world leaders at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York on 22 September 2026, the US president announced that America would begin referring to artificial intelligence as “super intelligence” in government documents. His explanation was strikingly simple. Trump argued that the word “artificial” makes intelligence sound fake . He said the technology is not fake, describing it instead as something “actually amazing”, while adding that it must still be handled carefully. He then declared that...

  The Cave That Became His Tomb: The Terrifying Final Hours of John Edward Jones Imagine crawling into a hole so narrow that you cannot turn your body around. Your chest is pressed against rock, your head is pointing downward, and somewhere behind you are rescuers desperately trying to pull you back to safety. You can hear their voices. You know they are there. You know they are fighting for you. But the harder they pull, the more the cave seems to hold on. Then, for one brief moment, they succeed. You are free. You hear your wife's voice over a radio. You receive medical attention. Food and water reach you. After hours of terror, you begin to believe that you are going home. Then an anchor fails. And you fall back into the darkness. That is the horrifying reality behind the death of 26-year-old John Edward Jones, whose name became permanently connected with Utah's Nutty Putty Cave after a rescue operation that lasted roughly 27 to 28 hours and ultimately ended in ...

  We Will Save the Birds From AI — But Who Will Save Humans From the Bomb? Author: Rodgers Mangwela There is something deeply uncomfortable about the way modern civilisation chooses its battles. We can become furious when an artificial intelligence data centre threatens electricity supplies, consumes water or disrupts birds and wildlife. Musicians can protest when AI-generated songs imitate their voices or compete with human creativity. Environmental campaigners can demand that technology companies disclose their carbon footprint. And these concerns are real. But somewhere else, behind fences, security checkpoints and national flags, factories are producing missiles, drones, artillery systems and other weapons whose intended purpose is not merely to disrupt a bird's habitat or replace a musician. They are designed, ultimately, to destroy targets. The question is not whether AI's environmental and social consequences deserve scrutiny. They do. The more uncomfortable...

  From WhatsApp Voice Notes to Mobile Money: Why Africa Could Be the Next Deepfake Battleground Author: Rodgers Mangwela Imagine receiving a voice note from your son at three in the morning. His voice is unmistakable. He sounds frightened. He says he has been arrested and needs money urgently. There is no time to explain. He tells you to send K500 to a number immediately. You panic. You send the money. Then, hours later, your real son calls. He was never arrested. The voice you heard was generated by artificial intelligence. This scenario may sound like science fiction, but the technology behind it is increasingly accessible. Artificial intelligence can now generate convincing audio, images and video, while cybercriminals are already combining AI with established techniques such as impersonation, phishing and social engineering. For Africa's increasingly mobile-first societies, the implications are particularly significant. The danger is not simply that someone can...
