Trump wins ! So what next? (For Africa)

Expect a few deportations

This was a great divider between Hillary and Trump. When the guy started his bid for the white house- his ‘signature policy’ was against immigrants who have entered illegally. So if there some of us who are in the states under dodgy circumstances- we gotta get our act up together.

The sooner, the better, like seriously guys- it was featured prominently on his campaign website. Critics, of course blasted him for this.  Trump conceded and was now advocating temporarily banning immigration “from regions that export terrorism and where safe vetting cannot presently be ensured.” That being said.. he did say he planned to set up a ‘deportation force’. So he might have softened, but he hasn’t ruled out mass deportation.

Any country that refuses to accept its aliens – would risk losing the US Visa altogether. Expect tougher immigration laws.

Libya might get some peace.. Or not

The Republican billionaire has said he would recruit NATO to invade strongholds in the Middle East to “knock the hell out of ISIS” and has regularly repeated his belief that Mrs Clinton’s actions as Secretary of State allowed the terror group to grow.

Mr Trump originally promised a ban on Muslim immigration into the US in response to the San Bernadino terror attack in December 2015.

But he later refined his stance and proposed a policy of “extreme vetting” to combat any future terrorism on his watch.

Considering that Libya is a ISIS stronghold at the moment- they might actually get some relief from there. Big word MIGHT.

African businessmen in America might feel the pinch

The middle class families with two children has a promise they can smile about 35% tax reduction. It is worthy to note that business rate might also get a 20% reduction. Trump’s economic plan will put Americans into 3 tax brackets (from the current 7).

The White House hopeful has promised a 35 per cent reduction in tax for middle-class families with two children.

That being said- he did promise to make it harder for foreign businesses to operate and his policies favored the American industries sector. So in this regard, the major victim of that might be China.



Overally, it might not be as bad as media might speculate.

Django & Firebase - A marriage of awesomeness

Requirements 1) Django (obviously) 2) Pyrebase (pip install pyrebase, you know the drill) So to give a better appreciation- I will first show you the HTML way then I'll proceed to show you how its done in Python. METHOD 1 : The HTML way Then you need to go to the firebase console. To setup a new project. After that you will see a web setup and you select that. Once selected you will see the config. It should be similar to this : Now that you have configured firebase, we now need to select the components which will be needed. depending on what you want for your app- you can now select the modules that you need. For us today, we will do the login authentication. Make sure you include firebase app first, so this is my screen: METHOD 2: Enter Python Open your dev environment and create a file named  pyrebase_settings within your django app folder.

Making money with the falling rand: Lessons from Zimbabwe

It is no secret that the rand is falling like there is no tomorrow. This year alone it has fallen by over 18%. And if you look closely, at the last 3 years- it has fallen by 35%! This is not neglecting the economic setup where the slightest thing leads to ‘ toi toi. ' This trend of continuous striking and pay rate increase bargains has created such a vicious cycle. Prices rise, people strike, economy starts going through stuff. And we back at square one. We all know for sure that this cycle is bad. Zimbabwe and South Africa might not be different soon, only difference being that Zimbabwe chased the farmers, South Africa is chasing stabilisation. (Maybe the paradox of thrift  (prompted by the large population) will save them! Hope so.) In Zimbabwe 2008, a lot of people made a lot of money from ‘burning money’. This was whereby people took advantage of the bank rate versus the ‘streets’ rate of forex. The streets rate for forex was lower than the bank rate. Problem wa...
