Internal party drama is spilling into public view after pointed comments from a prominent political heir. Winnie Odinga, an EALA legislator and daughter of the late Raila Odinga, accused certain ODM leaders of trying to purge members. Speaking in Kibira's Kamkunji area, she directly countered statements from party leader Oburu Odinga regarding departures.
She declared nobody would be expelled from the people's party, suggesting any exit would involve taking supporters along. Winnie stressed that her father would not have desired removals, asserting that nobody could replace him. She criticized figures attempting to imitate Raila Odinga's legacy, calling for internal dialogue to resolve growing conflicts.
The lawmaker hinted at a...
Education officials are literally sending chiefs door-to-door to hunt down hundreds of thousands of missing students. The Ministry wants local administrators to track around four hundred thousand Grade 10 learners who still have not reported to class. Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba is coordinating with interior authorities to complete the enrollment push.
Ogamba noted that over five hundred fifty thousand students are logged in the online portal. He admitted physical admissions are likely higher, with data entry lagging behind actual enrollments. Some schools face connectivity issues when entering student details into the system.
Many institutions have very few students due to low demand, a reality the ministry will address...
A football legend just took a front office job with the reigning champs. Peter Ndlovu is the new team manager for Scottland FC, joining head coach Norman Mapeza's technical staff. The club brought Ndlovu back from a similar role at South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns. He fills the position left by Tawanda Chidzidzi, who became club vice chairman after the championship win.
The unveiling featured benefactor Wicknell Chivayo, owner Scott Sakupwanya, and chairman Everson Chatambudza. Chivayo donated three hundred thousand dollars for team preparations ahead of the new season. The side faces a packed schedule across multiple competitions.
Scottland will compete in the CAF Champions League as domestic titleholders. Their campaign includes an...
A former top prosecutor just walked out of a hearing and got denied her own lawyer. Shamila Batohi left an inquiry into suspended Gauteng prosecutions head Andrew Chauke, arguing the process was compromised. She later requested state-funded independent legal counsel, but Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi shot down that request. Batohi must use National Prosecuting Authority lawyers instead.
Batohi stepped away after the inquiry panel refused to adjust its terms of reference. Her departure hampers an examination of Chauke's fitness for office, which stems from concerns over his case management. The minister's decision emphasizes using existing resources and avoids creating a precedent for private state funding.
Chauke remains on...
The cup draw handed the champs a seriously tough opener on the road. Kaizer Chiefs must travel to Stellenbosch FC at the Danie Craven Stadium for their first Nedbank Cup match. This pairing recalls a prior semi-final where the Chiefs narrowly advanced. Coach Nasreddine Nabi’s squad seeks to hold onto their crown against a strong opponent.
Stellenbosch, called Stellies, poses a real threat with players like Iqraam Rayners. Their coach, Steve Barker, has built a formidable side. The Chiefs will rely on attackers Mduduzi Shabalala and Ashley du Preez. The recent draw at SuperSport studios also set other fixtures, including Orlando Pirates versus Hungry Lions.
Mamelodi Sundowns meet TS Galaxy, and AmaZulu play Royal AM. The tournament is...
A city is pulling legal gymnastics to avoid paying for land it seized. Ekurhuleni municipality faces a major trial over confiscating a thirty-four-hectare plot in Driefontein, Boksburg, without compensation. The property, valued in the tens of millions, was taken for housing. The city now seeks to rescind its own expropriation decision to dodge the courtroom.
Critics call the move a bad-faith delay tactic. The owner, Business Venture Investments 900, argues that the municipality approved residential plans for the land earlier. The city blames new sinkhole risks from illegal mining on adjacent land it controls. The owner counters that environmental neglect caused any problems.
Mediation failed to resolve the seven-year dispute. The...
Catastrophic flooding has villages begging for help as the death toll climbs. Relentless rains in Limpopo have killed several people, with a young child still missing after being swept away. Communities like Makhuva and Mbaula outside Giyani are devastated, homes flooded, and roads destroyed. Poultry farmer Thomas Xitlhangu lost all his chickens and groceries, and his house was filled with water.
The disaster stretches across the region, damaging over a thousand homes. Key highways, including the R578 and R71, are severely compromised, bridges submerged, and routes washed out. Rescue teams using helicopters are searching for the missing and airlifting stranded residents. Premier Phophi Ramathuba described isolated communities facing...
Tanzania's ruling party is hitting the road to check on its campaign promises. CCM launched a national working tour starting in Singida Region to evaluate progress on President Samia Suluhu Hassan's pledges. Party ideology secretary Kenani Kihongosi said the effort reviews which commitments are done, which are ongoing, and which need new strategies.
The tour also opens political clinics for public feedback. Kihongosi called CCM the people's party and custodian of peace, aiming to strengthen engagement. The initiative allows direct interaction with citizens to hear concerns and reinforce local party structures.
Kihongosi stated the party would counter misleading statements that undermine government achievements. He emphasized that CCM...
Tanzania's tourism just banked its biggest haul ever with record revenue. The sector pulled in four point two billion dollars from over two million international visitors. Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism Dr Ashatu Kijaji called the industry solid, crediting global campaigns like the Royal Tour film. Those efforts helped Tanzania win major international destination awards.
Strategic marketing and infrastructure investments drove the growth alongside private sector cooperation. The government is pushing new tourism areas like conferences, beach trips, and cultural experiences. Conservation wins also play a role, with anti-poaching strategies boosting wildlife numbers.
Tanzania now holds the world's third-largest elephant...
