Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. May 17, 2020 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the indefinite lockdown declared in Zimbabwe in order to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus; Burundi is going ahead with an already scheduled national election despite warnings related to the pandemic; African Americans are demanding justice in the premeditated killing of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia; and the Indigenous people of Brazil are now threatened with the spread of COVID-19 into the Amazon. In the second and third hours we continue our coverage of the impact of the pandemic on the African continent. We rebroadcast addresses delivered by Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on measures being implemented in their respective states. Finally, we hear from South African Minister of Agriculture Thoko Dudiza on efforts aimed at farmers during the present emergency.
