Minister Ulega Targets Corruption, Negligence in TEMESA
The Works Minister told TEMESA staff they need to stop being lazy and taking bribes. He met with them in Dodoma and said these bad habits could hurt all the good things they've done. Mr Ulega wants TEMESA to be the best at fixing cars, both for the government and regular people. He said they must fight hard against workers who don't care about their jobs or who take money they shouldn't. This was his first time meeting the TEMESA team since he became minister. He liked their new plan to work with private companies when they needed help. He told them they should show people that when someone pays them, they'll do the job fast. He was happy with some groups like the Bank of Tanzania and TANESCO. They pay what they owe and get quick...
Unrest Sweeps Mozambique as Protests Escalate
People in Mozambique are angry. They're burning buses and making lots of trouble in the streets. When buses come by, they make everyone get off and set them on fire. No one knows exactly why the protests started. The people say they can't afford food, and they think the leaders are stealing money. Life is hard for them, and they want things to change. Big cities like Maputo and Beira are having big problems. Roads are blocked, stores had to close, and buses stopped running. One person who was on a bus said it was scary when protesters made them get out before burning it. President Filipe Nyusi already has lots of trouble up north in Cabo Delgado. People there are fighting against the government, but these new protests show he has...
Alleged Witchdoctors Arrested for Threatening Zambian President
Two men were caught in Zambia. People say they were witchdoctors. The police think they tried to cast spells on President Hakainde Hichilema. The police found what they called magic items, including a live chameleon. They charged the men under a law about witchcraft. The arrest seems strange when Zambia faces bigger money problems. Most people don't believe in magic anymore. The funny part is that Zambian law says you can't call someone a witch. By saying these men are witch doctors, the police might have broken their own rules! The police need to explain more things. Did these men say they were witchdoctors? If not, how can anyone prove they have magic powers? The police found a chameleon, but that's just a regular animal. They need...
Bon Kalindo Denounces Killing of Police Officer in Mangochi
An activist named Bon Kalindo is really upset. He's mad that a police officer got killed in Mangochi-Chiponde. Kalindo says that kind of thing shouldn't happen these days.

Kalindo gave his opinion in an audio clip. He's also against...
VP Usi Confirms Continued Support for Food Insecurity Program
Michael Usi, the vice president, discussed the government's plans. The Department of Disaster Management Affairs will continue helping people. It will give food to families hurt by droughts and cyclones. Usi said this at a community ground in Zomba. DoDMA handed out bags of maize there.

He said they'll keep running programs to help hungry people. The District Commissioner...
Minister Surprised by Archbishop's Critique of Crash Report
Moses Kunkuyu doesn't understand why Archbishop Thomas Msusa is upset. The Archbishop said he wasn't happy with the report about the plane crash. That crash killed Saulos Chilima and eight other people. Kunkuyu can't make sense of it. He points out that church leaders helped write the report and thinks it's odd that Msusa doesn't trust what other religious leaders find out. "I feel surprised," Kunkuyu said. "Church leaders looked into what happened. When someone doubts the report, they doubt other church people who helped make it." The country's leaders picked the team to look into the crash. They wanted to make sure everyone trusted what they found. Kunkuyu says they did a good job and let everyone help. He still thinks Msusa can...
Mozambicans Flee to Malawi Amid Election Tensions
People are running away from Mozambique. They're heading to Senior Chief Tengani's area in Nsanje. This is happening because of fights about who won the election.

One person who ran away is Grasa Antonio. She came from Postal Chire. She says there's a shooting between two groups - Frelimo and Renamo. Antonio thinks the October voting started all the trouble. The people who lost said they wouldn't accept what happened. "We ran to Malawi before things got worse," Antonio told others. "We could only bring what we could carry." Senior Chief Tengani says these people...
