Justice Minister Kubayi told parliament that South Africa has 32,557 sex criminals on the national registry. Courts might add another 10,456 names soon. The government planned to share this list publicly last month on February 28. Legal rules forced officials to wait because the Sexual Offences Act keeps these names secret unless necessary.
The minister explained nobody knows exactly how many people will appear when they finally publish the list. Her office updates these records constantly. Build One SA party members believe these numbers seem way off. They say far more sex criminals should be listed, considering how many sexual crimes happen across the country.
Roger Solomons speaks for Build One SA and doubts the accuracy. His group...
Angola wants to set up face-to-face talks between Congo and the M23 rebels backed by Rwanda. These meetings might happen within days. The Congo government has always said no to talking with M23 before. We still don't know if they'll show up this time. A person who speaks for Congo's president told Reuters they noticed this peace plan. The M23 assistant spokesperson said the group would attend and called this news proof that smart thinking won.
Angola keeps trying to cool down the fight between Congo and its neighbor, Rwanda. Many say Rwanda helps the Tutsi-led rebel group with guns and fighters. Rwanda says that's not true. They claim their army only fights back when Congo's military and anti-Rwanda groups attack them first. Since...
Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II tells his lawyers to sue Land Minister Sam Mayanja about Kaazi land claims. Christopher Bwanika, the Buganda attorney general, slams Mayanja for telling officials to shut down the Buganda Land Board, which runs the king's property. Bwanika calls these moves illegal and says they ignore court decisions. He states the king's legal team must fight against what Mayanja said at the March 4 Kaazi meeting.
The fight centers on Block 273, Plot 5, which has a complicated past. This land comes from 350 acres given to Buganda kings under an agreement made back in 1900. Officials created the first title deed in 1923 for King Daudi Chwa II. Bwanika explains that Chwa II held this land as Buganda's ruler, not as a private...
Soldiers beat up National Unity Platform (NUP) officials and reporters during their visit to a Nameere home in Kawempe North. The team went there because someone told them people inside were marking ballots before election day. David Lewis Rubongoya from NUP learned about this possible cheating the night before. He said armed forces guarded the house where it happened. Rubongoya showed up Wednesday with opposition boss Joel Ssenyonyi and candidate Erias Nalukoola Luyimbazi.
Neighbors had tipped off Ssenyonyi earlier that week. They noticed Electoral Commission person Julius Mucunguzi kept visiting this particular house recently. The team spotted several cars with people taking off their license plates when they arrived. Similar...
The new Dune game hits your screens on May 20. Funcom just put out a video that shows off the massive planet Arrakis. They call it Dune: Awakening and it marks the first time players can team up in an open-world survival game based on this famous sci-fi setting.

Samsung made good progress with their new 2 nm Gate-All-Around process last month, according to industry insiders. After they reportedly scrapped an older 3 nm project late last year, the South Korean team likely started working extra hard. People thought the Exynos 2500 processor would use that 3 nm tech, but experts believe Samsung engineers are testing the 2 nm process instead. A recent report from FN News SK claims Samsung Foundry created a special team just for this project. This group will focus on finishing a newer "Exynos 2600 chip" - which might mean they're either replacing or renaming the older design.
Many saw the recent Galaxy S25 smartphones as a letdown because all models used Qualcomm's "first-of-its-kind customized...
Intel just hit a big milestone with its 18A chip technology. According to a LinkedIn post by Intel manager Pankaj Marria, they started making test wafers for their customers to check out. This marks version 1.0 of their design kit, which customers already use to test custom chips. Employees celebrated with "The Eagle has landed" posters, pointing to this American-made technology achievement.
Mass production should begin during the latter part of 2025, but early success might push that date forward. The company appears happy with early testing results. In recent messages to staff, new CEO Lip-Bu Tan talks about Intel's path forward. He clearly states that they plan to keep making both chips and foundry services under one roof rather...

8BitDo made a new Bluetooth controller that looks like the classic N64 design. They fixed the shape to feel better in your hands during long play sessions. The stick uses hall-effect technology with the same gate pattern and rubber cap as before. This ends the problem of loose sticks that break down after heavy use.
All the buttons match what players remember from years ago. The C-buttons, A/B, and Start buttons sit exactly where they should and press just right. Multiplayer games made the N64 famous, and these controllers, paired with Analogue 3D, make those games even better. 8BitDo worked directly with Analogue to create the perfect match for their system.
The controller connects through Bluetooth and shakes when games tell it to...
