Courts jailed a UN judge for keeping a woman as her slave. Police found Lydia Mugambe had made a young Ugandan work for free as her maid. The Oxford student received six years and four months for modern slavery crimes. She showed no remorse during her trial last week.
Mugambe lied about the visa papers to bring the woman to England. The fake papers claimed the woman would earn money with a Ugandan diplomat in London. She instead forced the woman to live as her servant. The victim stayed afraid because Mugambe held power in Uganda. She can never return home or see her family again.
Police wanted to arrest the helper diplomat, but Uganda kept him safe. Mugambe claimed she treated the woman well. Oxford started removing her after her...
Anti-corruption officials seized assets worth N$2 million in a probe of shady deals between a Roads Authority worker and a vendor. They took a weighbridge from Etango Petroleum at Walvis Bay because it lacked proper approval. Someone had wrongly approved a N$2.3 million bill for the weighbridge, saying it arrived when it never did. The same company fixed the old weighbridge for N$264,960 and put it at Walvis Bay back in 2021.
When the new weighbridge came in 2022, someone took the old one from the Roads Authority land, lying about taking it to Windhoek. They secretly moved it to Etango Petroleum without any permission from the Roads Authority. The company rents this weighbridge to Etango today. ACC spokesperson Josefina Nghituwamata...

Martin Shkreli, once called America's most hated executive after raising prices on a key medicine, has gained many followers on X with his sharp pharma comments. He recently attacked Vinay Prasad, the new FDA Center for Biologics leader, calling him "nuts" with "no idea" about how the drug industry works. Prasad, an oncologist known for opposing COVID-19 booster shots, wrote that more testing should happen before changing vaccine rules.
Shkreli claims he talked with leaders of almost every major drug company recently, warning they might fail under Prasad's leadership. He fears stricter testing rules will harm companies already facing tough competition. Bristol Myers Squibb laid off 516 workers last month, bringing this year's total to...

President Chakwera breaks with past habits as his team keeps working on projects from the earlier DPP government. Many past leaders threw away plans started by others, wasting tax money. This change marks progress, even though Chakwera faces blame for slow work on Mzimba offices, stadium, roads, and university plans.
People notice how he kept building on what former President Mutharika began. Political expert Thomas Chirwa calls this a sign of leadership growth. He asks all candidates running in September 2025 to promise they will do the same. Finishing what others start saves cash and helps citizens faster.
Chirwa said good leaders must put the nation ahead of party goals. Most Malawians hope this new approach sticks around after the...
Bishop William Mchombo started a new Savings Ministry for the Anglican Diocese of Upper Shire. This K80 million project comes from the Five Talents UK group. The plan runs three years across 19 parishes in the diocese.
The bishop spoke at the Chilema center in Zomba about helping people save money for better lives. He wants the program to lift struggling families through small business skills. Many locals see cash but lack good ways to manage it properly.
The church aims to teach money skills through local savings groups, said Mchombo. He expects better schools, health care, and local buildings as a result. People often borrow cash at high rates because they save poorly, pushing them deeper into poverty. The church believes it must...
Many Malawians compare their current struggles to the painful history of Bagamoyo, a Tanzanian coastal town central to the East African slave trade. The name Bagamoyo means "lay down your heart" in Swahili, reflecting the deep sorrow experienced there. During the 1700s and 1800s, slaves from Malawi, Congo, Zambia, and central Tanzania were chained, sold, and shipped across the Indian Ocean. They ended up in Zanzibar before heading to the Middle East, India, and Europe.
Malawians feel their country resembles a "modern Bagamoyo" as prices rise, jobs disappear, and living conditions worsen. The town served as the capital of German East Africa during colonial times, with buildings like the Caravan Serai and Catholic Mission Museum still...
