On November 10, 2025, Dr. Freedom Mazwi, our group’s TWAS-DFG Visiting Fellow, participated in the African Development Roundtable at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS). Organized by Shuaib Lwasa (ISS) and Helena Pérez Niño (ISS), the event brought Dr. Mazwi into discussion with Petronilla Wandeto (ISS), Mohamed Muse (Leiden–ISS), and Ahmed Elassel (ISS). The roundtable marked the 50th anniversaries of independence for Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and São Tomé and Príncipe. It also explored contemporary social and political challenges across the continent. Each researcher presented insights from their ongoing work.
