Listen to the Sun. Dec. 30, 2018 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 allegations by the Republic of Zimbabwe government that corruption is behind the worsening fuel shortages in this Southern African state; South Africa must address the question of land in the upcoming national elections in 2019; the voting is underway in the Democratic Republic of Congo where several political parties are seeking to take control of the government; and the Chinese media has discussed various industrial projects it is involved with on the African continent. In the second and third hours we look back at events from 2018 through speeches delivered at the United Nations General Assembly 73rd Ordinary Session held in September. Finally we pay tribute to the legendary Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, who made her transition in August of this year.
