About 1 week ago, Mauritius hosted the SADC Conference on Poverty with delagates staying in 5 star hotels, eating at banquets, travelling in limos, … Hopefully something good will come out of this; at least there was a buzz last week but it has quickly died out.
The really good thing that was set up is the Empowerment fund which is trying to help people start their own business or train people.

An anime about an Afro Samurai – wow that original!
Afro Samurai is an anime from GONZO studio. In terms of story, it’s not so different from the usual anime stuff – basically it’s a samurai seeking revenge. In the world of Afro Samurai, samurais faight to be the number 1 in which they attain a “God like” status. But only the number 2 samurai can challenge the number 1. So the life of number 2 is a one of constant fights.
The story starts with Afro as a kid seeing his dad, the number 1, die killed by the number 2. After that, he leads a life of revenge and … eventually attains the status of number 1 after a number of fights.
Quite an ordinary anime – the point to note is Afro is accompanied by “Ninja Ninja” completely at the opposite of Afro.
