Eddie Cross backs off president family claims
Eddie Cross, a big shot in Zimbabwe politics, has retracted his statement about the President's family being crooked. He couldn't provide any proof to back up his claims. Cross first made these accusations during an interview on South Africa's Newzroom405 TV station on March 31. The interview got a lot of people talking and led to some high-level pow-wows. In the interview, Cross blamed the country-wide protests on people being fed up with corruption. He also said the President's family was involved. But later, he admitted that he didn't have any hard evidence. On April 1, Cross met with the President at State House to apologize for dragging his family into the scandal. He admitted he had messed up and said, "I shouldn't have brought...
Taylor in Hot Water for Quran Comment
Kevin Ekow Taylor, a political commentator and broadcast journalist, has really ticked off Ghanaian Muslims in North America. They're super upset about some things he said on his show, With All Due Respect. It airs on the Loud Silence Media Network. Apparently, Taylor called the Quran "toilet paper in other countries."

Highlanders CEO quits over dodgy deal
Brian Moyo, the head honcho at Highlanders Football Club, has hit the road. He's in hot water over some shady deals involving a couple of players from the Bulawayo Chiefs. Moyo brought them on after the Highlanders got the boot from the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League last season.

All Nine Turbines Up at Nyerere Hydropower Project
Tanzania just turned on every power maker at the big Julius Nyerere dam. Deputy Prime Minister Doto Biteko checked the site on Saturday and shared great news.
