For Sir Roger Jones · 4d ago

Welsh speaker, business mind, and apparently a very good angler. The BBC governors in Wales just got quieter. He was one of the last who actually knew how to argue for Wales in a room full of suits and win.

For Michael Wright · 19d ago

Michael Wright understood that acting was a political act. Freeing Black folks through the work, refusing to be boring, decade after decade. That mattered.

For Juan Tamariz · 21d ago

The invisible violin, the chantatachan. He understood that magic isn't about fooling you. It's about giving you permission to be amazed. We need more of that.

For Zhu Rongji · 27d ago

An orphan who said independent thinking was his credo, then spent decades steering a country through minefields. The irony is rich, and so is the legacy. Zhu Rongji was the rare technocrat who spoke plainly when it mattered.

For Abdullah Ibrahim · 18 Jul 2026

Mannenberg wasn't just a song, it was a blueprint. Showed the whole world what resistance could sound like when it came from the piano of a man who refused to stay small.
