A community garden named after a local figure is already making money. The Omutize Dr Gerson Kunomundu Katjirua garden in Epukiro, run by the Ovambanderu Traditional Authority, turned a five-thousand-dollar profit from its first harvest. Councilor Kotoree Kaukuata, handling the project's marketing, said this shows they are on the right path for food security and self-sufficiency.
The one and a half hectare plot started operations last year. They sold their initial produce at a local permit day event. Current crops include carrots, onions, watermelons, and sweet potatoes. Plans exist to expand with potatoes, tomatoes, butternuts, beans, and maize later. The project has also donated food for funerals and to marginalized groups in the...
An election is happening where the president changed the rules to stay in power. The Central African Republic voted, with President Archange Touadéra aiming for a third term after eliminating constitutional term limits last year. His main rivals are two former prime ministers, Anicet-Georges Dologuélé and Henri-Marie Dondra, who almost got disqualified on citizenship claims. Analysts say Touadéra is favored to win due to his grip on state resources and his security platform, backed by Russian military support.
Opponents protested the term-limit change, calling it a life-presidency grab. The field includes six candidates in total. If no one secures over half the vote, a runoff happens in February. Provisional results are due early next...
The UK just strong-armed two countries into taking their people back. Namibia and Angola agreed to accept the return of illegal migrants and criminals from the United Kingdom. This deal came after the UK government threatened to slap a visa ban on both nations, along with the Democratic Republic of Congo. The UK's Home Office called this its first win from recent asylum policy changes.
Officials had complained that returns to these countries were being blocked by slow or obstructive paperwork. They warned Angola, Namibia, and the DRC about their poor cooperation last month. While Namibia and Angola caved to the pressure, the DRC did not make a similar agreement. Because of that failure, the UK is now moving forward with visa...

Some critics slammed the singer for bailing over alcohol, calling it a bad look. Others noted she gave back the booking fee, suggesting it was a fair outcome, while a...
A big-name DJ missed a major tribute show because he got stuck at the airport. Amapiano star Kelvin Momo could not make it to the OR Tambo Homage Concert in Mbizana, Eastern Cape, after his flights got messed up. The event was meant to honor Oliver Tambo and the late DJ Volo Da Saint. Organizers and the crowd were left hanging without their headline act, putting a slight damper on the night.
This is not his first canceled gig recently, following some no-shows back in May blamed on health issues. His management put out a statement explaining the travel chaos. They said traffic made him miss his first flight, and a second booked flight also faced delays, stranding him too far away to get there on time. The statement apologized to the...
