Judicial Breakthrough: Zimbabwe appointed Justice Elizabeth Gwaunza as the country’s first female Chief Justice, with Justice Paddington Garwe named Deputy Chief Justice—an immediate leadership handover that’s already drawing regional applause. Ebola Alert: Eastern DRC is facing a renewed Ebola scare in Ituri, with Africa CDC urging cross-border coordination as suspected cases and deaths mount and insecurity and movement complicate response. Trade, Power, and Sovereignty: Namibia’s VP Lucia Witbooi pushed for less dependence on external markets, arguing Africa must industrialise through AfCFTA and deeper government–business partnerships. Sahel Sovereignty Row: Kenya’s defence pact with France—granting French troops legal immunity—has reignited debate over accountability and constitutional sovereignty. West Africa Crime Disruption: A shared digital signal from the UK’s National Crime Agency helped identify and disrupt nearly 50,000 fraudulent accounts and thousands of fake sites across West Africa. South Africa Labour Pressure: New claims of “sweatshop” conditions behind South African clothing exports add fresh heat to enforcement and corporate responsibility.
