KCCA grabbed the league lead after beating Mbarara City at Rwamanja Stadium in Kamwenge. Coach Brian Ssenyondo got back from the U-17 World Cup stuff and watched Herbert Achayi nail a header off Joel Sserunjogi's corner to open the scoring. Mbarara's Muhammad Kanyike linked up with Gaddafi Kacancu before slotting past keeper Charles Lukwago to tie things up.
Ivan Ahimbisibwe finished off Achayi's cross after halftime to seal the win for the visitors. The result pushed KCCA to 17 points, sitting one ahead of SC Villa in the standings. Mbarara keeps struggling near the bottom with just one victory this season. Villa faces unbeaten champions Vipers SC next, which could flip the tables back around.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni hit up Kiruhura District, pushing locals to ditch traditional cattle methods and switch to zero-grazing systems that could stack thousands of animals on land currently holding just 130 heads. The president dropped examples of farmers crushing it on tiny plots, like Joseph Ijala, who runs 10,000 chickens plus eight dairy cows on 2.5 acres and pulls over 6 million shillings monthly. Another guy, Richard Nyakaana, produces 120 liters daily from six cows on barely an acre, banking 20 million yearly.
Museveni reminded everyone that wealth gets built by individuals rather than government handouts, pointing to George Matongo from Nakaseke, who pumps out 900 liters per day despite living far from paved roads...
Uganda's top military guy, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, sat down with Belgium's ambassador Hugues Chantry at the Special Forces headquarters in Entebbe to talk about ramping up security ties. Kainerugaba briefed the Belgian crew on Uganda's military moves across the region, from fighting ADF militants in eastern Congo through Operation Shujaa to peacekeeping missions in Somalia and South Sudan. He pushed for Belgium to get more involved since threats like terrorism and armed groups don't respect borders.
Ambassador Chantry showed up with defense advisor Michel Recour and praised the solid relationship between the two countries. The meeting focused on expanding cooperation through training programs, stabilization support, and peace-building...
Ugandan military dropped artillery on a couple of ADF camps in eastern Congo and claims they wrecked the hideouts while taking out militants. The strikes went down in Mambasa territory near Babunga and below the Epulu River as part of the joint Operation Shujaa mission with Congolese forces. Colonel Chris Magezi said locals backed up intelligence that the militant group took heavy losses, but nobody verified exact body counts. ADF boss Musa Baluku might have been at one camp when shells started landing, though his fate stays unclear.
The ADF started as a Ugandan rebel outfit before relocating into the Congolese forest more than 20 years back, and they keep hitting civilians with massacres and bombings across the region. Magezi...
Namibia's Electoral Commission told losing candidates to accept voter decisions after the regional council and local authority races wrapped up. Chairperson Elsie Nghikembua said unsuccessful politicians need to respect what people chose and keep helping build the country instead of sulking about results. Voter participation hit 40.6% for regional councils and 36.3% for local authority spots.
Nghikembua congratulated winners and pushed them to actually fix the problems their communities face. She encouraged defeated candidates to stay involved in national progress since everyone needs to pitch in for the country to move forward.
Senegal's prime minister and a former Nigerian leader both reckon the military takeover in Guinea-Bissau was basically theater. Ousmane Sonko and Goodluck Jonathan claim President Umaro Embaló staged his own removal with army help to dodge election results he might have lost, but neither guy dropped receipts proving it. Local groups are also calling it a fake coup since Embaló personally rang up French TV to announce his government got toppled, which seems pretty sus compared to how other regional coups actually went down.
The military suspended vote counting and blocked results from dropping after grabbing power. They insist they stopped some plot involving drug traffickers from wrecking the country. Guinea-Bissau has dealt with...
Swapo grabbed eight council spots in Windhoek, which beats the five they had before the latest voting went down. The Independent Patriots for Change dropped from four seats to three, while Affirmative Repositioning and the Landless People's Movement each kept one position after holding two previously.
The Popular Democratic Movement held onto its single seat, and the United Democratic Front snagged the spot that the National Unity Democratic Organisation used to occupy. Electoral Commission spokesperson De Wet Siluka mentioned the official tallies will get confirmed later when everything gets wrapped up.
Cops in Ondangwa grabbed a doctor named Fillemon Nakanduungile for allegedly being involved in the attack on prosecutor Justine Shiweda. Deputy commissioner Fredrick Ndjadila said the suspect got hauled before a magistrate and bail got shut down. The hit on the 30-year-old prosecutor went down at her place when attackers splashed a nasty mix of hydrochloric and sulphuric acid on her, then smashed up her car windows.
Regional commander Naftal Sakaria mentioned six people in total caught charges connected to the assault. The whole mess apparently ties back to some big criminal case Shiweda was handling as a public prosecutor in the area.
Jacob Zuma's daughter Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla bailed from parliament after cops started looking into claims she tricked 17 South African guys into becoming Russian mercenaries for the Ukraine war. Her half-sister dropped an affidavit saying Zuma-Sambudla and two other randos promised security training gigs in Russia, but actually shipped the dudes off to fight on the front lines. Eight of the stuck fighters are apparently related to both sisters through their extended family.
The MK Party, which her dad launched after getting booted from the African National Congress, said her exit was voluntary and doesn't mean she's admitting guilt. Party officials claim they'll help get the stranded men home even though they're denying any...
