March and March movement is a South African citizen-led protest group that says it is campaigning against undocumented foreign nationals, illegal immigration, and the pressure it believes these place on jobs and public services. Today, the group marched in Pretoria and is also expanding protests into Johannesburg, drawing strong attention because the issue has become politically sensitive and tied to xenophobia concerns. #MarchonMarch #Dudula #Mabahambe #ForeignersIn South Africa #NigeriansInSouthAfrica #ZimbabweansInSouthAfrica #Congolese

Zambia has just made history as the first African country to accept China’s yuan for mining tax payments, tightening its economic links with Beijing and slightly reducing its reliance on the US dollar. This move could ease Zambia’s debt burden to Chinese lenders and diversify its foreign reserves, but it also deepens the country’s exposure to China’s economic and political influence.​

-Smoother debt payments and less currency-conversion pressure by using the same currency it owes to Chinese creditors.​


-Greater vulnerability if China’s economy slows or if relations with Beijing become strained, since more of Zambia’s revenue is now tied to the yuan.​

Do you think this is the first step toward the yuan challenging the dollar in Africa?

Should more African countries follow Zambia’s example or be cautious about relying too much on China’s currency?

Is this a smart strategic move for Zambia’s economy, or a risky bet that could backfire later?

Duma Boko reaffirms the late Robert Mugabe’s long-standing call for Africa to have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.

Africa’s population now exceeds 1.5 billion people, making up nearly 19% of the entire world’s population. This immense number not only highlights the continent’s diversity and dynamism, but also underscores why Africa deserves a permanent voice in global decision-making forums like the UN Security Council.

Why Africa’s Representation Matters

- Africa’s population is growing , with nations like Nigeria (over 237 million), Ethiopia (around 135 million), and Egypt (nearly 118 million) leading the way.
- The continent is the fastest-growing and youngest in the world, fueling innovation, economic transformation, and global cultural influence.
- Decisions on peace, security, and development at the UN impact over 1.5 billion African lives every day.

Given this scale and potential, shouldn’t Africa’s interests be represented by a permanent seat at the Security Council?
How can the global community be truly inclusive if a fifth of the world’s population is left without a lasting voice at the highest level?

South Africa’s Border Management Authority (BMA) has rolled out a new high-security passport stamp to fight corruption and passport fraud at our borders. Featuring advanced security elements like the unique BMA logo and tamper-proof design developed with Government Printing Works.

These stamps make forgery and unauthorized use much harder. By ensuring only authorized personnel can stamp passports, the BMA is closing loopholes previously exploited for illegal crossings, migration fraud, and even human trafficking.

This move is part of broader anti-corruption efforts, including better technology and increased oversight, aiming to rebuild trust and ensure the South African borders are secure and well-managed. The new system took effect on the 1st of August 2025.

Big News for Zambia & Africa!

#SouthernAfricaNews #MatarendaInAfrica

Zambia just secured a 26% stake in Angola’s Lobito oil refinery and here’s why it’s a game changer for YOU, Zambia, and the continent!

What does this mean for Zambia?
Energy Independence: Zambia moves from just importing fuel to actually co-owning the source. No more relying on expensive overseas imports!

Lower Fuel Prices: With the new Lobito–Lusaka pipeline, expect cheaper fuel and less forex spent abroad.

Jobs & Opportunities: New refinery and pipeline = more jobs for Zambians in construction, operations, and logistics.

Economic Growth: Reduced transport costs mean businesses can grow, and local products can reach new markets.

What does this mean for Africa?
African Ownership: This is Africa investing in Africa, keeping profits and value chains on the continent, not overseas.

Regional Trade: The Lobito Corridor rail and road networks will connect Zambia, Angola, and the DRC, making it easier to trade minerals, crops, and goods across borders.

Blueprint for the Future: This partnership shows how African countries can lead their own development and break the cycle of dependency.

How can Zambians take advantage?
Entrepreneurs: Start businesses in fuel distribution, logistics, or services along the new corridor.

Farmers: Use the improved transport links to export crops to Angola and beyond.

Job Seekers: Watch for new jobs in construction, engineering, and maintenance as the refinery and corridor are built.

Investors: Look for opportunities in supply chain, warehousing, and agro-processing as trade expands.

Zambia is stepping up, owning its energy, driving regional trade, and building a future led by Africans, for Africans
