Jaiteh gives hospitals a helping hand with clothes
Salifu Jaiteh recently donated clothing worth more than D100K to help patients at two medical centers. He brought many blankets, cotton rags, and clothes to the Ndeban Clinic at EFSTH and the Tanka Tanka mental health facility. His kind act came after he visited Ndeban and noticed sick people lying on simple mats with their families. He decided the government needed extra help from citizens like him who could share what they had. The staff at Tanka Tanka felt very happy about these gifts. They explained how many mental health patients arrive without proper clothes because of their illness. The warm blankets will keep these vulnerable people comfortable during treatment. Hospital workers mentioned that Mr. Jaiteh has shown this...
Ministers applaud Addis progress for youth impact
Three African leaders just came back from Ethiopia with big smiles. They saw amazing changes in Addis Ababa that made them want the same things for their countries. These ministers from Gambia, Burundi, and Mali went there for a youth meeting. They spent time looking at new buildings and projects all around the city. Bakary Badjie from Gambia noticed huge differences since his last visit ten years ago. He really liked the new meeting center where business people can hold events. He thinks his country can learn a lot from how Ethiopia works with private companies. The Gambian minister wants to bring these ideas home to help young people there. Gervais Abayeho from Burundi was excited about what he saw. He talked about the large size of...
Who dares impeach Mnangagwa in Parliament
Parliament starts meeting again today. Everyone across all political groups keeps asking who might try to remove President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa from office. Many critics wonder if anyone has enough courage to take this bold step against him. The lawmakers will gather later this afternoon for their session. Recently, war veterans led by Blessed Geza asked Parliament to kick the President out of his job. These former fighters have raised many serious claims about why they believe he should leave office right away. The pressure builds as both government supporters and those against Mnangagwa watch closely to see what happens next. Some people say that nobody dares to stand up because they fear what might happen to them. Others...
Trailblazing finance minister Edith Nawakwi dies
Edith Nawakwi passed away during her cancer treatment in South Africa. She led the Forum for Democracy and Development party in Zambia until her death. Many remember her as a groundbreaker who made history as the first woman to serve as finance minister across all Southern African nations. Her amazing life journey took her through government service, political leadership, and major economic changes for her country. She came into this world on June 24, 1959, in the small community of Mwenzo, located in the Northern Province's Nakonde District. Her sharp mind helped her become an excellent economist before she jumped into politics. Back in 1990, she helped create the Movement for Multi-party Democracy, quickly climbing to important...
Chamisa says time to cut corruption in Zimbabwe
Nelson Chamisa wants to fight against bad people who steal money. He says we must stop just talking and start doing something real about it. The former leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change believes everyone deserves better than what they have today. He has fought against stealing in government for almost 27 years because he cares about regular people, not fame or social media attention. Chamisa points out that Zimbabweans already know about all the stealing. They see it happen around them every day. He believes we need more than just new faces in charge—we need completely different values. His plan calls for leaders who help instead of take, who create instead of destroy, and who make citizens stronger instead of poorer. The...
Chiwenga is still in the game leaving ED in a bind
Chiwenga keeps his job despite ED and his supporters not wanting him around. This creates danger for both men in different ways. ED could fire Chiwenga since he has that power, but doing it might backfire badly. Mugabe found this out the hard way when he waited until it was already late. Politics always brings surprises nobody can predict, with risks nearly impossible to measure accurately. ED currently holds executive power, yet he cannot use it freely, especially against someone as powerful as Chiwenga, who has military connections. Both men fight not just for control but also for public opinion. Chiwenga talks about corruption, and his message gained strength when South African officials reported on Wicknell Chivayo's money problems...

Which Social Network Are You Joining First
When starting, pick just a few key social media platforms instead of trying to manage many at once. Facebook works best as your main way to talk with fans. Twitter comes second for similar reasons - both help you connect directly with people who like your music. YouTube becomes essential if you have music videos or can create simple lyric videos for your songs. Many musicians without videos choose Soundcloud as their platform for sharing tracks where fans can listen and spread their music. After setting up profiles on these platforms, use people you already know to build your first thousand followers. Ask everyone from your personal Facebook account to like your music page. Share your Twitter profile with them as well. Tell friends...
Trust Beats Self Promotion on Social Media
Social media helps us learn about world problems and lets companies show off what they sell. People can talk with businesses in ways never possible before. Many websites include links saying "play top slot games here" or "check out these top weight loss tips." Always look for trusted sources when clicking these links. Smart brands use what we call the trust formula. This works out as: TRUST = Authority, Helpfulness, and Intimacy over Self Promotion. People trust experts who know their stuff. Staying current with new research makes customers pay attention to you. Helping others builds strong relationships in business, just like in real life. We feel close to those who assist us, even for small things. Sharing creates closeness between...
