Kevin Gates vents on IG, says divorce story is fake

She had requested joint custody and spousal support, citing irreconcilable...
US-funded newborn hepatitis B trial quietly pulled in Africa
A US-backed vaccine trial in Africa just got shut down over major ethics alarms. Africa CDC confirmed the hepatitis B study for newborns in Guinea-Bissau is cancelled, following sharp criticism of its design. The project was funded through an office linked to Robert Kennedy Jr. and aimed to withhold the proven vaccine from some infants in a high-risk region. Yap Boum stated the study violated ethical norms, prompting its halt. Officials are now working on a redesign. Guinea-Bissau authorities initially claimed the trial would proceed, but a later letter stated it was stopped due to design concerns. The country's health ministry leadership has recently changed. The controversial plan would have involved 14,000 newborns. Half would not...
Illegal sand mining keeps trashing land, ministry side-eyes
Ministry throws shade at illegal sand miners, calling their operations a major threat to people and the planet. Namibia's environment office slammed unchecked sand and gravel digging, saying it wrecks land and ignores required permits. These actions break the country's Environmental Management Act, which mandates impact studies and official approval before any extraction starts. Digging without permission causes serious erosion, wrecks riverbanks and wetlands, and ruins mahangu fields. The resulting damage threatens food and water supplies, grazing areas, and local wildlife. Abandoned mining pits fill with water, creating dangerous traps for animals, livestock, and kids. The ministry recognized the need for building materials for...
Ombudsman bins resident’s copyright beef with MTC
The little guy just caught a massive L fighting the corporate machine because the Office of the Ombudsman tossed out a complaint from Keetmanshoop resident Willem Eiman. He accused Mobile Telecommunications Limited of playing dirty via attempts to nuke his copyright for a prepaid concept called Multiple Awehs. Basilius Dyakugha ruled that since the move failed, nobody actually got hurt. This drama started back in 2017 when Eiman supposedly pitched the billing idea. He claims MTC ghosted him, but then rolled out the product years later without cutting a check. Patience Kanalelo from the telecom giant fired back, arguing that the resident actually swiped their internal concepts. Documents show MTC pressured the Business and Intellectual...
Hardap schools plot comeback after slipping down rankings
Hardap schools hit rock bottom, forcing the boss to promise a massive comeback tour. Paulus Lewin swears his directorate will unleash interventions to drag the region out of the academic gutter in 2026. The area recently slipped to fourteenth place nationally for senior exams. This slide happened even though more students actually qualified for advanced levels compared to previous cycles. Lewin points to a five-year turnaround strategy designed to overhaul grades across the board. He argues that fixing the system requires targeting the foundation and junior phases instead of just sweating over the final results. The director insists that speeding up service delivery and hitting twelve specific targets will eventually stop the bleeding...
Namibia presidency swats health chatter around Nandi-Ndaitwah
The rumor mill spun so fast that officials finally addressed the president's physical condition. Jonas Mbambo claims Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah sits in good spirits and health despite whispers about her fitness. He insists the leader handles her duties perfectly well and warns that creating fake panic serves zero purpose for the public. Gossip surfaced previously alleging the seventy-three-year-old endured surgery at Swakopmund with help from Asian medics. The spokesperson refused to explicitly confirm or deny if that procedure happened. He simply stressed that no medical issues currently warrant stress or fear among the population. Mbambo noted she attends a scheduled retreat as part of her regular program. The team highlighted her...
Mai Nyathi takes the blame as hubby admits cheating
Simping for a cheater just reached pathetic new levels online because Joyce Manyara actually went on camera to fault her attitude for Gilbert Nyamanhindi sleeping around. The internet personality known as Mai Nyathi sobbed while claiming her bad vibes and trust issues basically forced her man into other beds. She insisted that her behavior created a toxic home life that justified his wandering eye. Gilbert didn't even try to stop her from taking the fall. He admitted to messing with two side chicks but blamed the clout game, arguing that random women slide into his DMs with spicy photos because their contact info remains public. The guy claimed he fled the house whenever she got moody, which made filming their profitable skits feel...
After 56 points, schools clamp down on subject hoarding
It seems the academic flex era just got nerfed hard because the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education decided to cap exam entries after one student went beast mode. They decreed that learners must stick to three principal subjects for the Advanced Level and nine for the Ordinary Level. This shift prioritizes depth over hoarding grades like loot. The crackdown started after Mukudzei Ziveyi from Pamushana High School pulled off fifty-six points across twelve subjects. Taungana Ndoro argued that the Heritage-Based Curriculum requires focusing on quality instead of quantity. He claims this prevents burnout and keeps the playing field standard for everyone. Ziveyi basically never slept to chase an aerospace dream at MIT. He took...
Thief busted after strolling by in the victim's stolen jacket
Bro really thought he could rock the drip he just stole in public because Marlvin Chakanyuka from Highwood Phase 2 in Concession got busted for unlawful entry after strutting around wearing the loot. The twenty-eight-year-old raided a neighbor's room while the owner stepped out, grabbing stonewash jeans, kicks, a speaker, and bedding worth eighty-five bucks. Things went sideways when the forty-six-year-old victim spotted Chakanyuka parading through the neighborhood in that specific stonewash jacket. The owner demanded answers right there, but the thief panicked and bolted before anyone could snag him. Prosecutors eventually secured a conviction against him for the swiped gear. The magistrate handed down a twenty-four-month sentence...
