We continue to look at the Africa Matters Summit, a strategic project launched by Channel Africa radio.

The summit, which will take place on 25 March at the Wits Business School in Johannesburg, South Africa, aims to shift the narrative, ensuring African voices and perspectives shape the discourse on critical continental issues.

This year's theme focuses on climate change, "Financing Africa's Recovery." To delve further into the subject of climate change, joining us on the line is Siya Myeza, Climate & Energy Campaigner at Greenpeace Africa and also one of the panellists for the Africa Matters Summit.

Greenpeace Africa Campaigner weighs in on Climate Debate at Africa Matters Summit

President Denis Sassou Nguesso of Congo Brazzaville, is expected to win this Sunday's election, extending his decades-long rule.

The central African nation will on March the 19th head to the polls for the country general election.

Sassou, a former paratrooper first ? took power in the oil-rich Central African nation in a coup in 1979.

The 82 year old leader lost Congo Republic's first multi-party elections in 1992, but seized power ?again in 1997 after a civil war.

Despite his advanced age and a term limit which has fuelled speculation about who will eventually succeed him, he has now ruled for a combined total of almost 42 years, making him Africa's third longest-serving leader, after Equatorial Guinea's Teodoro Obiang and Cameroon's Paul Biya.
