From the show
2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Frantz Fanon. The psychiatrist's work has had a significant impact on post-colonial movements around the world, especially in North Africa. When filmmaker Jean-Claude Barny explored his life in the biopic Fanon, he chose Ludovic Louis to create the soundtrack. The jazz composer and trumpeter employed a bold musical alliance, creating a dialogue between North African and Middle Eastern sounds. Ludovic Louis is our guest on Eye on Africa.
Also in the programme, Gabon's former first lady Sylvia Bongo and her son Nourredin have testified in a Paris court, alleging they were tortured by Gabonese security forces during their 20 month detention between 2023 and 2025. Gabonese authorities say it's an attempt to draw attention away from an upcoming corruption trial.
And we meet Kim Zulu, a 25-year-old fashion blogger from Johannesburg. She has her own TikTok, Instagram, and even LinkedIn. But there’s one catch: she doesn’t actually exist. We look at the rise of AI-generated influencers.
