      Mauritius: A woman president for all citizens    “ I think that the great strength that women bring when they move into senior levels of politics is not that they're more nurturing, caring, maternal figures, but that they will bring a certain level of different perspective, a different way of thinking, and that is just really valuable for all of us.”—  Nicholas Kristof , journalist, author and Pulitzer Prize winner.   Professor Ameenah Gurib Fakim will remain in the history of Mauritius as the first woman President of the Republic who has broken many gender stereotypes.

MBC is a government owned station, both radio and TV and thus many people started to believe that Ben Phiri was playing the Media in a scheme of high stakes known only to him and the President of Malawi Peter Mutharika. When Maravi Post reached out to State House Press Secretary Gerald Viola, he curiously said he did not have details of the resignation. Later in the day he basically said Ben Phiri had not resigned.

  Businesses across major African economies such as Kenya and Nigeria are coming under increasing pressure to align their strategies for retaining talent, compensating employees and engaging with their workforces with good international practices.  That’s according to Gerhard Hartman, Head of Department for Sage HR & Payroll’s International Division, who says that African companies are facing stiffer competition for skills as economies grow, governments pump money into building infrastructure, and professionals are lured into the diaspora by the promise of big salaries paid in hard currencies.   One recent study conducted by  EY  found that 70% of African firms are recruiting--yet many report that they are taking longer to fill vacancies and experiencing higher staff turnover.
