Leaders from the Nanumba North area met with people living in Sabonjida and Afayili to fix problems between them and local herdsmen. The meeting happened because things almost turned into a big fight, which made local officials step in fast. Police ask everyone to follow the right steps when they have problems instead of taking action themselves. But people from Sabonjida said the police were not fair and helped the herdsmen more than them.
The trouble started on March 18 when someone attacked places where Fulbe people lived in Sabonjida. They killed animals and broke property. This happened because robbers, who some thought were Fulbe, killed a Konkomba person earlier. People from nearby towns then attacked back, killing farm animals...

Retired Colonel Festus Aboagye recently claimed that former Bank of Ghana boss Dr. Ernest Addison had set up secret listening devices at his home. This statement came after National Security agents searched Addison's house, an action many people criticized. The minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, complained that officers took jewelry and money belonging to Mrs. Addison during their search.
Colonel Aboagye told TV3 a different story about why the search happened. He said he checked with sources inside National Security and learned they had information about electronic devices in Addison's home. These devices are supposedly connected back to the Bank of Ghana offices. What some people called a broken camera was actually a...
The head of the National Road Safety Authority in Ghana has criticized companies for putting billboards on road dividers. Abraham Amaliba said these billboards block people from seeing traffic when they cross streets, making accidents more likely. He spoke after Diana Abrafi posted a video on TikTok showing dangerous billboards near East Airport heading toward East Legon in Accra. This area falls under the Ledzokuku Municipal Assembly.
NRSA staff visited the site Friday after seeing Abrafi's viral video. Amaliba told reporters they wanted to check what a concerned citizen had shown them. The team confirmed the problems Abrafi highlighted in her video. These tall billboards make it almost impossible for people to spot cars coming around...
Zimbabwe has lost Geoff Nyarota, the man who started the country's first independent daily newspaper. He died at age 74 after fighting cancer, according to his son Julian, who spoke with AFP on Sunday. Nyarota created The Daily News back in 1999, bringing fresh voices to a media landscape tightly ruled by the government.
For many years, The Daily News stood alone as the only daily paper not controlled by the state. It bravely criticized President Robert Mugabe throughout his 30-plus years of leadership. Nyarota paid a heavy price for this courage - police arrested him repeatedly, claiming his newspaper secretly worked for Western countries.
The newspaper faced violent attacks beyond legal troubles. Someone bombed both the newspaper...
John Likando will head to parliament soon. He currently serves as the Swapo regional councilor for the Kabbe South constituency in Zambezi. His move comes directly after President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah picked Lucia Witbooi as vice president last Saturday. Before her promotion, Witbooi held the 43rd spot on Swapo's National Assembly candidate list.
Witbooi must give up her parliament seat as she steps into her role as vice president. She becomes only the second woman to hold this position since Namibia gained independence. The empty parliament seat passes automatically to the next candidate on the ruling party's list, Likando, who sits next in line for any Swapo vacancy.
The Kabbe South area must hold a special election within three...
