Julius Malema Found Guilty of Hate Speech in South Africa

South African opposition leader Julius Malema has been found guilty of hate speech by the country’s Equality Court over remarks he made at a political rally in 2022. This marks the third such ruling against the outspoken leader of the left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, known for his fiery rhetoric and controversial positions. The verdict comes at a time of strained international relations, with United States President Donald Trump recently accusing South Africa of discriminating against whites. Trump specifically cited Malema as the figurehead of what he called an “anti-white movement.” The diplomatic fallout escalated this year, with Washington cutting aid to Pretoria and imposing heavy tariffs in response to what it described as systemic discrimination. Malema and the EFF have yet to respond publicly to the court’s ruling.

Gambia Baby Dies After Illegal Female Genital Mutilation

Banjul, The Gambia – A one-month-old girl has died from injuries linked to female genital mutilation (FGM) in The Gambia, sparking outrage and renewed calls for stronger enforcement of the country’s decade-old ban on the practice. The infant, who suffered severe vaginal wounds, was rushed to Bundung Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Banjul earlier this month, but doctors could not save her. Authorities later confirmed that she had bled to death from injuries caused by FGM. The case has shaken the community of Wellingara, about 17 kilometres from the capital, where the baby’s family lives. Police arrested at least three women, including the woman who performed the procedure and the baby’s mother. “She is the unlucky one,” said a grieving neighbour, who attended the child’s naming ceremony a week after her birth. The neighbour, who asked not to be […]

DRC and M23 Resume Peace Talks in Qatar

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the M23 armed group have resumed negotiations in Qatar as violence escalates in the country’s mineral-rich eastern provinces, despite a recently signed truce aimed at paving the way for a peace deal. Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari confirmed that delegations from Kinshasa and the M23 were meeting in Doha to review the implementation of the July ceasefire agreement. “We’ve received the two parties here in Doha to discuss the earlier agreement,” he told reporters on Tuesday. The deal, brokered by Qatar, called for a ceasefire and outlined a timetable for talks to begin on August 8 and conclude by August 18. Both deadlines passed without progress, as accusations of violations mounted on both sides. According to Ansari, the current discussions are focused on creating a monitoring mechanism for the truce, as well […]

France Returns Looted Skulls to Madagascar

France has returned to Madagascar three human skulls that had been kept in a Paris museum for 128 years after being looted during the colonial period. One of the skulls is believed to belong to King Toera, a Madagascan ruler who was decapitated by French troops in 1897. The remains, which also include two skulls from the Sakalava ethnic group, were officially handed over during a ceremony at the French Ministry of Culture on Tuesday. King Toera was killed during a massacre by French forces, and his skull was taken back to France as a trophy, where it was placed in Paris’s national history museum along with hundreds of other human remains from Madagascar. “These skulls entered the national collections in circumstances that clearly violated human dignity and in a context of colonial violence,” French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati […]

Trent Alexander-Arnold Dropped by Tuchel for Qualifiers

Trent Alexander-Arnold is facing battles at both club and country level after being left out of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia. The 26-year-old made a high-profile move from Liverpool to Real Madrid in the summer, but his start in Spain has been far from smooth. He was substituted after 68 minutes of his La Liga debut against Osasuna and then dropped to the bench for Madrid’s win over Oviedo. Now his international career has taken another hit, with Tuchel once again showing his lack of trust in Alexander-Arnold defensively. The coach even went as far back as June to select midfielder Curtis Jones ahead of him at right-back in a qualifier against Andorra, when Alexander-Arnold only featured for 26 minutes. He did not play at all in the following friendly against […]

Tottenham Complete £51.8m Signing of Xavi Simons

Tottenham have signed the Netherlands attacking midfielder Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig for £51.8m (60m euros). The 22-year-old said he has "been dreaming of this for a long time" after completing his medical and joining Thomas Frank's side. He added: "I'm really happy and can't wait to get going. "It's a great club and when I met the head coach I knew straight away that this was the right place for me." Spurs manager Frank said Simons, who has signed a "long-term deal", is a "great addition" who "already has good experience" despite his age. The midfielder follows Joao Palhinha and Mohammed Kudus as summer arrivals at Spurs. Chelsea held talks with Leipzig over a move for Simons this summer but are set to complete a £40m move for Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho. Spurs failed in their bid to sign Nottingham […]

Audit Uncovers GH¢8.2m Payout to Former NSA Boss

A forensic audit of the National Service Authority (NSA) has uncovered shocking revelations involving its former Director-General, Osei Assibey Antwi. Findings seen exclusively by The Fourth Estate indicate that while serving as Director-General, Mr. Assibey Antwi was also registered and posted as a volunteer within the NSA during the 2022/2023 service year. Auditors discovered that he was assigned an EZWICH card (No. 1177042059) and posted to the Greater Accra Region. However, payroll records show he was assigned to Kumawu Farms in the Ashanti Region, a 200-acre farming project initiated under his administration. According to the report, Mr. Assibey Antwi received GH¢516,000 every month for 16 months, amounting to GH¢8,256,000. At the current national service allowance of GH¢715.57, the monthly amount he pocketed could have paid the allowances of 721 service personnel. These findings corroborate an earlier statement by the Attorney-General […]

The initiative is expected to ease the pressure of limited job placements locally while also offering Ghanaian nurses international exposure and opportunities for professional […]

Forestry Commission Boosts Training to Fight Illegal Mining

The Forestry Commission is taking steps to address the shortage of frontline technical staff, which has hampered efforts in combating illegal mining and forest degradation across the country. In recent years, the Commission has struggled with a lack of technical expertise in natural resource management, undermining its ability to protect forest reserves effectively. Acting CEO of the Commission, Dr. Hugh Brown, said technical experts are critical in coordinating protection efforts. “We have rapid response teams and forest guards. The rapid response team is led by the technical staff, so they will coordinate efforts to protect our forest reserves,” he noted. He added that with the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) initiative, trained officers would also support the Timber Industry Division. Speaking at the 2nd Matriculation Ceremony of the Forestry Commission Training Centre, Dr. Brown highlighted the importance of […]

CSA Warns of Fake Brand Listings on Google Maps & Search

The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has issued a strong warning to the public about a rising wave of scams involving fake business listings on Google Maps and Google Search. According to the CSA, cybercriminals are impersonating well-known brands such as Pizza Hut, Pizzaman/Chickenman, Hisense, Bel Aqua, Papaye, and Burger King by creating fraudulent business profiles online. These fake listings often include misleading phone numbers, emails, and websites.
