SADC has decided to pull out its peacekeeping troops from eastern Congo. The group made this choice during an online meeting led by Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who currently heads SADC.

These numbers came straight from National Police Spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi during a recent Media Engagement Forum held by the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services.
Commissioner Nyathi emphasized that Zimbabwe has laws for every activity, including public transportation. He expressed frustration that most kombi operators play hide-and-seek with these regulations instead of following them. The government created clear rules to help citizens start legitimate businesses, but many drivers simply pocket money without caring...

Malawi's Chief Resident Magistrate Court has ruled that Shepherd Bushiri and his wife, Mary, must return to South Africa. Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kabuyi announced on Wednesday that South Africa's government supports this decision. The couple faced criminal charges in two South African courts back in 2020.

South Africa asked Malawi to send the Bushiris back to face multiple charges. These included rape, bail violations, breaking financial laws, banking regulations, aviation rules, and immigration policies. Kabuyi stated that this ruling shows how courts work independently, countries help each other, and...
