Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera concedes defeat in the country's presidential election and congratulates opposition candidate Peter Mutharika on victory, the government says in a statement.
The Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi has visited South Africa for a working visit at the invitation of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa received Tshisekedi at the Mahlamba Ndlopfu presidential residence on Thursday to discuss issues of mutual interest and strengthen ties, the South African government wrote on X.
Tshisekedi was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister of Defence Guy Kabongo, Foreign Minister Therese Kayikwamba Wagner and Finance Minister Doudou Fwamba, according to the Congolese presidency.
The visit followed a peace conference hosted by former South African President Thabo Mbeki’s foundation in early September, in which the Congolese government declined to attend, but members of the M23 rebel group were present.
Millions of voters in Malawi are heading to the polls for presidential elections on Tuesday, with incumbent President Lazarus Chakwera, who came to power in 2020, facing a challenge from over a dozen candidates, including his predecessor Peter Mutharika.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and law enforcement are intensifying efforts to track down the gunman who fatally shot conservative commentator and President Donald Trump’s ally Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10.
State officials have called the attack a “political assassination.” Two suspects were briefly detained but later released, and the shooter remains at large.
Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana, who on Thursday moved from Manchester United on a season-long loan to the Turkish club, Trabzonspor, has told fans that he is excited to start a new adventure.
The stakes are high as Nigeria and South Africa, two of Africa’s most high-profile footballing nations, battle for a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday.
Nigeria travel to South Africa looking to get their qualifying chances back on track against Bafana Bafana, who currently lead Group C with 16 points, while Nigeria's Super Eagles sit in third position with 10 points.
Nigeria could move as high as second with a victory and keep alive their country’s qualifying hopes. A win for South Africa takes them even closer to the World Cup finals, which they featured in last when they hosted in 2010
The coach of Eswatini's national football team, Zdravko Logarusic, has stirred debate after saying, in his post-match remarks, that his squad was full of "part-time" players following their 3-0 defeat by Cameroon's Indomitable Lions, which dashed their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Currently sitting 155th in the latest FIFA rankings released in July 2025, Eswatini's senior men's national team, Sihlangu SeMnikati, has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup, the Africa Cup of Nations, or the African Nations Championship.
Construction work has intensified on a major new structure at a facility key to Israel’s long-suspected atomic weapons programme, according to satellite images taken in July and analysed by experts.
They say it could be a new reactor or a facility to assemble nuclear arms.
In a historic milestone for Somalia, first-ever female military officers have graduated as cadets from the Türkiye-Somalia military academy, TURKSOM, in Mogadishu, after three years of rigorous training, that required proven discipline, courage and sacrifice.
The 11 officers have now become the pioneer female cadets in Somalia's Navy, Air Force and Army, a development seen as a powerful step forward for Somali women in uniform. They were among dozens of officers whose graduation ceremony was held recently in Mogadishu.
"This is an inspiring dawn for the Somali Army," says Battalion Commander Jamal Hassan Ali. The cadets will soon head to Türkiye for advanced training to gain new skills and leadership experience to strengthen Somalia's security apparatus.
Swedish football star Alexander Isak's dream seems to have finally come true following his recent explosive social media post revealing his discontent at Newcastle, citing broken promises about a potential move to Liverpool.
The 25-year-old forward has now moved to Liverpool after the two clubs agreed on a transfer worth $170 million, making him the most expensive player in British football history.
