President Cyril Ramaphosa named former Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas as special envoy to the United States. The appointment aims to repair damaged relations between South Africa and America. Jonas will represent Ramaphosa and work on diplomatic and trade issues between the two nations. The relationship soured after President Donald Trump expelled South African ambassador Ebrahim Rasool. Rasool had made critical remarks about Trump and his MAGA movement.
American officials have also criticized South African policies on land expropriation and its position regarding Israel. These disagreements created additional tension at a difficult time. South Africa plans to host the upcoming G20 summit amid these diplomatic challenges. The...
A Lilongwe court sent James Gerald to prison for 14 years with hard labor after he robbed someone near Gateway Mall. The 18-year-old from Ntcheu District stole K40,000 cash, a phone, along other items worth K1 million during the February attack. Gerald worked with two partners who remain uncaught, all carrying knives when they targeted a man walking to catch a taxi to Area 49.
Gerald admitted his guilt, but prosecutor Damiano Nyasulu asked for a tough punishment because the crime seemed carefully planned. Magistrate Bracious Kondowe agreed with this recommendation. The judge noted that such crimes often happen around Lilongwe. He hopes the harsh sentence will scare others away from committing similar robberies.
Wall Street recently celebrated when NVIDIA seemed safe from major tariffs. Lynx Equity predicted the company would quickly return to record stock prices. But the Trump administration just created a major problem for the GPU maker.
Markets felt relief when President Trump set a 10 percent global import tariff for most US trading partners except China. He temporarily removed tariffs on semiconductors from China, cutting the total Chinese import tariff rate from 145 percent to 104 percent. Chinese electronic imports still face a 20 percent fentanyl-related tariff.
The good news ended suddenly for NVIDIA. The company announced it expects charges up to $5.5 billion during fiscal Q1 2026 from issues with its China-specific H20 GPU. The...
Health officials looked into possible organ trafficking after concerns about Israeli patients receiving kidney transplants in Kenya. The investigation came after an international medical group warned that people might be breaking medical rules. Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale formed a team of experts to examine these claims at an Eldoret hospital last December.
The hospital had legal permission for kidney transplants. It performed 372 procedures over five years, mostly for Kenyan patients but also for people from Israel, America, and Britain. Investigators found consent forms for all donations but noticed several problems. They discovered unclear relationships between donors and recipients. Some medical tests happened in India...
Kenya's Deputy President Kithure Kindiki asked church leaders to correct government officials with love. He noted tensions exist between government officials and faith groups but said this creates unnecessary conflict. The government views religious institutions as partners helping improve Kenyan lives, not competitors, according to Kindiki. He compared the relationship to biblical kings who consulted prophets before making major decisions.
Kindiki explained that both serve the same people but fulfill different God-given roles. He spoke at the Africa Revival Agenda Conference, where about 4,500 religious leaders from all countries gathered. Kindiki mentioned that church leaders sometimes correct politicians harshly as if they harbor...
Barack Obama praised Harvard University for refusing White House demands to change its policies or lose federal funding. He called the freeze of more than $2 billion "unlawful" and encouraged other schools to follow Harvard's example. This marks his first social media criticism of the Trump administration since at least January. Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991 and rarely criticizes government officials online.
Trump stopped the money because Harvard wouldn't modify its hiring, admissions, and teaching practices, which his team claimed would fight campus antisemitism. Yale University faculty published a letter backing Harvard's decision against these demands. Many American universities receive federal funding mainly for...
Norton buzzes with excitement as MWOS Football Club prepares to return to its hometown stadium. After months of playing elsewhere, the team can finally host matches at the renovated Ngoni Stadium. The local Premier Soccer League leaders will face Dynamos in their first game back home. MWOS remains unbeaten through six matches and is 14 points clear at the top of the table. This homecoming means everything to players, staff, and supporters alike.
The club previously played at Baobab Stadium because Ngoni failed to meet league standards. They paid stadium fees and helped fans travel to away games. Many supporters couldn't afford transportation costs despite subsidized rates. MWOS performed well regardless, winning three matches at their...
