William Ruto Wins Kenya’s Presidential Elections

by Farida Joyce
August 16, 2022

After a long and intense race against Raila Odinga, William Ruto has been named the victor of Kenya's presidential election. Even though Kenyans went to the polls last Tuesday, the country had to wait on edge for six days to learn the outcome of a vote that was too close to call. READ ALSO:Alleged Unrest Instigator Bonginkosi Khanyile Back In Court Four election officials declared that they would not accept the results, which heightened tensions on Monday afternoon just before the proclamation. The vice head of the electoral commission and three other commissioners claimed that due to the "opaque nature" of the election's last round, they are unable to accept responsibility for the outcome. Moments afterwards, Kenya's top election official declared that Ruto, 55, had won with 50.49% of the vote, speaking from the results center in Nairobi. After the announcement, Ruto, a former chicken vendor from Kamagut in the outlying Rift Valley province, stated. “There are no losers. The...

Dube Ncube announced as new KZN premier

by Farida Joyce
August 10, 2022

Sihle Zikalala has been succeeded as the new premier of KwaZulu-Natal by Nomusa Dube-Ncube. Since the start of democracy in 1994, she becomes the province's first female premier. READ ALSO:Divisions in Cosatu ahead of elective conference At a Monday morning press conference, the newly elected provincial leadership officially announced Dube-appointment. Ncube's Prior to the weekend, three people had begun to gain attention as potential competitors for the position made vacant by Zikalala's departure last week, but Dube-Ncube stood out the most. Mbali Fraser and Amanda Bani were further candidates. Dube-Ncube served as South Africa's ambassador to the Czech Republic and has had a fascinating political career inside the ranks of the ANC, which is currently in power. Dube-Ncube was the mayor of the North Central council prior to the merger, which gave rise to the current eThekwini municipality. She has also held the positions of MEC for cooperative governance and traditional affairs in addition to serving as the party's main whip in the provincial assembly.

Divisions in Cosatu ahead of elective conference

by Farida Joyce
August 8, 2022

Deep divides among a number of Cosatu affiliates, the largest trade union federation in the nation, raise the possibility that a contentious race for leadership positions may break out when the group conducts its elective conference next month. Large affiliates of the federation, particularly those in the public sector, are allegedly beset by factionalism that hinders efforts to bring them together in support of those who will run the organization after September. READ ALSO:One person dies in Kagiso protest The leadership succession is traditionally managed via the federation's central executive committee and public sector union organizations like the joint mandatory committee (JMC) to avoid ugly battles that could destabilize the organization. Zingiswa Losi, the president of Cosatu, may seem to be in a strong position to maintain her job, but it has recently come to light that she is facing opposition. Additionally, it has come to light that Bheki Ntshalintshali, the federation's general secretary, was the target of a significant lobbying effort. If that were to occur, he would become the only Cosatu boss since the federation's founding in 1985 to be dismissed after completing one term. Louis Thipe, the second deputy president of Cosatu, is said to have declared she plans to resign. Louis Thipe, the second deputy president of Cosatu, is said to have declared she plans to resign. Freda Oosthuysen, the national treasurer of the federation, is expected to keep her job after being strongly supported by her affiliate, the influential Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers Union (Sactwu). The SA Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu), one of Cosatu's largest affiliates, is adamant that the leadership that emerges from the congress should reflect the balance between unions in the public and private sectors. “The leadership should...

Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe is accused of raping a woman when she was 15 years old when she had stayed with him and his wife. The woman, who is presently located in Queensland, Australia, opened the complaint on Monday at the Mount Ommaney police station. A prominent Zimbabwean socialite named Suzan Mutami went live on Twitter on Friday and addressed the accusation in front of more than 12,000 viewers. She claims he mistreated her while she was under his care. She stated that when she was 15 years old, her ordeal began.
