Tanzania's election commission reversed its weekend approval of opposition leader Luhaga Mpina on Monday. The commission blocked Mpina from competing in next month's presidential race for the second time. This decision eliminates the head of Tanzania's second-largest opposition group from the ballot. President Samia Suluhu Hassan faces only minor party challengers after the ruling. The commission had accepted Mpina's candidacy papers following a high court order that overturned an earlier rejection.
The major opposition party, CHADEMA, cannot participate after officials disqualified the group in April. Party leaders refused to sign the electoral conduct agreement while demanding voting reforms. CHADEMA presidential hopeful Tundu Lissu...

Tredgold Magistrates Court found Brian Busani Moyo guilty of defrauding Highlanders Football Club during a player acquisition scheme. The 54-year-old former chief executive received an 18-month suspended prison sentence with multiple conditions attached to his release. Magistrates required Moyo to avoid dishonesty offenses for five years, repay $2,000 to the club by September 30, and complete 210 hours of community service beginning September 18.

Zimbabwe's Finance Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube advocates for round-the-clock economic operations during the recent Zimbabwe Economic Development Conference held in Bulawayo. The minister criticizes the nation's traditional eight-hour work schedule, where employees depart offices by 4:30 PM after starting at 8 AM with extended lunch periods. He argues this approach prevents the country from maximizing economic output and productivity levels. Ncube emphasizes that substantial electrical power remains unused during nighttime hours when domestic consumption decreases significantly. The minister believes industries should capitalize on this available energy surplus to expand operations and create additional work shifts.
