Singer Weasel is hospitalised after reportedly being hit by a car driven by partner Sandra Teta. Police confirm arrest and open criminal investigation. A well-known Ugandan musician has been hospitalised with serious injuries after his partner allegedly drove a car into him outside a bar in Kampala. Douglas “Weasel” Mayanja – a former member of the Goodlyfe duo and younger brother of celebrated singer Jose Chameleone – is being treated at Nsambya hospital after suffering severe injuries to both legs. Police say the incident happened in the early hours of 7 August outside Shan’s Bar & Restaurant in the upscale suburb of Munyonyo following a heated row. Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire said Weasel’s long-time partner, Rwandan socialite Sandra Teta, was arrested on suspicion of “unlawfully wounding” the singer and is being held at Kabalagala police station. According to police statements, Ms Teta allegedly drove a Mercedes-Benz at Mr Mayanja, knocking him to the ground and fracturing his legs. The vehicle involved has been impounded as part of the inquiry. Witnesses told officers that the couple began arguing at home and that Ms Teta later followed Mr Mayanja to the bar, where the confrontation escalated. In a police interview quoted by local media, Ms Teta said she and the singer had quarrelled earlier in the day and that he had chased her and their children out of their home. She claims she sought help from his parents but was told to return home; when she confronted him again at the bar, she allegedly drove into him during another altercation. Police spokesman Patrick Onyango confirmed the arrest and said investigators believe Mr Mayanja was hit multiple times. “Our officers have checked on him at Nsambya hospital and been informed that his life is out of danger, but he has multiple fractures,” Mr Onyango told local reporters. Mr Mayanja was initially taken to Mukwaya hospital but later transferred to Nsambya for specialist care. Footage of the incident circulating on social media has fuelled debate in Uganda, with many fans expressing shock and concern. The couple’s relationship has been volatile, drawing media attention in the past for domestic disputes. This latest episode has reignited discussions about domestic violence in Uganda’s entertainment industry. Neither Ms Teta nor her legal team has issued a public statement. Police say the case is being treated as a criminal matter and not as a traffic violation, and further details will be released once investigations are complete Continue Reading Full Article ENTERTAINMENT Ugandan Singer Weasel Hospitalised After Alleged Car Attack By Neema Asha Mwakalinga Travel & Culture Expert Neema Asha Mwakalinga Home Comment Aug 7, 2025 May 15, 2026 3 min read Copy link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Published Updated: A well-known Ugandan musician has been hospitalised with serious injuries after his partner allegedly drove a car into him outside a bar in Kampala.

Denise Nyakeru urged Congolese women to unite and pray for peace during Women’s Day events in Kinshasa. DRC First Lady Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi used International Women’s Day ev ents in Kinshasa to call for women’s unity and renewed prayers for peace, stability and national cohesion. During the March 8 commemoration, she urged Congolese women to stay “united and in solidarity” as the country faces ongoing national challenges . According to the main source, Denise Nyakeru first joined the official ceremony organized by the Ministry of Gender, Family and Children at Tata Raphaël Stadium. She later met members of the UDPS Women’s League at the ruling party’s headquarters, where they reaffirmed support for President Félix Tshisekedi’s actions in favor of peace, democracy and development. Her day concluded at Athénée de la Gombe, where she met women from the Union for the Congolese Nation, the party led by Vital Kamerhe. Her communications team said the different meetings reflected the mobilization of Congolese women around empowerment and their contribution to national cohesion. The events unfolded as the Democratic Republic of Congo marked International Women’s Day alongside the rest of the world on March 8. The UN says the 2026 global theme is “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls,” while the article says the DRC observed the day under the national theme “Congolese women at the center of all ambitions.” In that context, Denise Nyakeru’s message framed women not only as beneficiaries of empowerment efforts, but also as active participants in the country’s peace and social cohesion agenda. The emphasis on unity, prayer and engagement across political women’s groups pointed to a broader appeal for collective civic responsibility at a moment when peace remains a central national concern.

Kenya is set to revolutionize its electricity sector by allowing private companies to import and export electricity, a move aimed at increasing competition and reducing power costs for consumers. The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has introduced draft regulations to permit firms to engage in the electricity distribution market, challenging the current monopoly held by Kenya Power. This policy change will enable firms to procure electricity from neighboring countries, potentially lowering wholesale tariffs and the overall cost of electricity for Kenyan consumers. Under the proposed Energy Electric Power Undertaking Licensing Regulations, 2024, licenses will be available for various activities, including electricity import/export, generation, transmission, and retail supply. This will not only introduce competitive rates but also enhance service delivery and reliability for customers. The initiative is expected to encourage the use of alternative electricity sources and alleviate frequent outages caused by the existing infrastructure's limitations. Kenya's move towards an open electricity market aligns with global trends towards deregulation and increased competition in energy sectors. By allowing market forces to dictate prices and services, Kenya aims to ensure more affordable and reliable electricity for its citizens and businesses, fostering economic growth and sustainability .

As DRC shines at the Francophonie, questions arise over Rwanda’s influence and alleged interference within the global French-speaking body. In recent weeks, debate has intensified over the Democratic Republic of Congo’s role within the Francophonie, driven by claims linking unpaid bills from the Francophonie Games to the country’s credibility and standing within the International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF). While some commentators highlight outstanding payments to contractors, critics argue this narrative deliberately conflates domestic financial challenges with international legitimacy, diverting attention from broader geopolitical dynamics, particularly the growing scrutiny of both the DRC’s performance and Rwanda’s role within the organization. At the same time, the Democratic Republic of Congo has presented Juliana Lumumba as its candidate for Secretary General of the OIF, a move that underscores the growing competition over leadership and influence within the Francophonie. War Context and Financial Realities Regarding the Francophonie, Rwanda must be considered a peripheral country. Its real contribution to French-speaking communities is nonexistent, and its impact in the Francophone world remains marginal. In contrast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo hosted exemplary Francophonie Games (Jeux de la Francophonie), arguably the best of all time, thanks to the country's attractiveness, the quality of organization by the Congolese government, and infrastructure worthy of such a prestigious event. It is important to recall that the Francophonie Games are not directly organized by the International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF). The fallacious link that certain actors attempt to establish between the organization of the Games and the DRC’s candidacy within the Francophonie reflects unacceptable cynicism and a manipulative maneuver orchestrated by Rwanda and its relays. A Controversy Beyond Logistics Regarding the Games themselves, the issue does not lie in the payment of contractors’ bills, which will be addressed. The real concern stems from the refusal of the current Secretary General of the International Organization of La Francophonie, Louise Mushikiwabo, to participate in this major event, an absence widely interpreted as alignment with Rwanda’s position. For a Secretary General of the OIF to serve the interests of a belligerent state at the expense of a major international cultural and sporting event constitutes a flagrant violation of the neutrality required by the organization’s charter.

For a Secretary General of the OIF to serve the interests of a belligerent state at the expense of a major international cultural and sporting event constitutes a flagrant violation of the neutrality required by the organization’s charter. ADVERTISEMENT According to Article 3 of the Charter of the International Organization of La Francophonie, the Secretary General and the institution must act “in respect of the sovereign equality of all member states and promote cooperation and solidarity among them, without favoritism or alignment with particular interests.” However, the behavior of Louise Mushikiwabo, marked by her alignment with Rwanda and her boycott of the Games, clearly contradicts this principle and illustrates what critics describe as an unacceptable instrumentalization of the Francophonie by a third state. War Context and Financial Realities Payment delays can be understood within the broader context: the Democratic Republic of Congo is at war, and resources are being redirected toward the defense of territorial integrity, a normal adjustment in times of conflict. This situation is itself rooted in a prolonged crisis, which the Congolese perspective attributes to Rwanda’s belligerent posture, including its past actions in 2012, at a time when Louise Mushikiwabo served as Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Her current stance, marked by silence and absence, is interpreted by critics as further evidence of bias and a lack of leadership. A Leadership in Question In summary, Louise Mushikiwabo is seen by her detractors as having delivered no tangible achievements since taking office, while steering the Francophonie into a dead end. Her recent interview with Le Figaro, in which she acknowledges an increase in French speakers but highlights the organization’s limited global impact, reinforces concerns about her capacity to manage and unify the institution. For critics, her perceived bias, lack of results, and refusal to support a fundamental event for the Francophone world undermine both the mission and the integrity of the International Organization of La Francophonie, raising serious questions about its adherence to its own charter.

The UK denies Julius Malema entry over pro-Palestine and anti-colonial stance. EFF responds with bold Pan-African message. South Africa’s revolutionary leader, Julius Malema, has once again been denied entry into the UK - and this time, it’s not about paperwork. According to the UK Home Office, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader was labeled “non-conducive to the public good” and “undesirable” following his vocal support for Hamas and his unapologetic calls for land justice in South Africa. The UK cited speeches where Malema said his party would support arming the Palestinian group Hamas, and also pointed to past statements seen as inflammatory toward the white minority in South Africa. We will not trade our revolutionary beliefs in exchange for a visa," declared the EFF in a fiery response, accusing the UK of cowardice and of distorting Malema’s views on Black frustration, inequality, and the colonial legacy that still haunts South Africa. The EFF also stated plainly: The UK and all its allies can keep their visas. We will keep our Africa, and our commitment to support the oppressed of the world, especially the Palestinian people." This is the second time in two months that Malema has been denied entry to Britain. The first time, officials claimed the application was late. But this time, the UK made it clear: this was a “substantive decision” with no right to appeal. Malema, a fierce critic of Western imperialism, has long pushed for the nationalization of white-owned land, unapologetically confronting the injustices left by apartheid and colonialism. His message resonates with millions of Black South Africans who remain locked out of the economy nearly 30 years after freedom was declared. Despite this, UK authorities used a controversial clip of Malema singing protest songs, including “Shoot to Kill” and “Kill the Boer,” as a reason to block him. That same video was recently played by Donald Trump during a meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Yet South Africa’s own Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that the lyrics do not amount to hate speech, stating that they are “a provocative way of advancing a political agenda,” not a call to violence.

With South Africa’s unemployment at 33%, and the Black majority still economically excluded, the EFF argues that calls for radical transformation are not only justified, they are necessary.

His exclusion from the UK is unlikely to silence him. If anything, it strengthens the call for Africans to look inward, reject external judgment, and fight for economic and cultural freedom.

DRC shifts Cabinet meetings to twice a month and plans stronger monitoring of government decisions. The Democratic Republic of Congo will now hold Cabinet meetings twice a month as President Félix Tshisekedi moves to give ministers more time to implement decisions already taken, according to a local report . The change was announced during the 91st ordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers. Since Tshisekedi came to power, Cabinet meetings had generally been held every week, except on public holidays, as part of regular monitoring of government files and the implementation of the Government Action Programme. Under the new arrangement, government members are expected to spend more time executing decisions, responding to public concerns, and improving the effectiveness of state action across the country. Tshisekedi also called on ministers to show greater diligence, responsibility, and efficiency in carrying out their duties. A strengthened monitoring and evaluation mechanism is also being introduced to assess progress across ministries and measure results in different sectors. The move signals a shift from frequent deliberation toward closer tracking of delivery and implementation. The Cabinet meeting also addressed international human rights missions in the DRC. Prime Minister Judith Suminwa welcomed the ongoing work of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, whose Resolution 643 condemns serious and massive human rights violations and international crimes in the country. The government also discussed the UN-backed inquiry into abuses in eastern Congo. The UN Human Rights Council commission of inquiry is mandated to investigate alleged violations and abuses in North Kivu and South Kivu linked to the latest escalation of hostilities. Suminwa said experts from the commission are expected in Kinshasa on June 7, 2026, before continuing their work in Goma after a week in the capital. She instructed the ministers responsible for human rights and interior affairs to ensure a secure environment and smooth coordination with national authorities. She also asked the budget and finance ministers to make the necessary operational resources available for the teams supporting the mission.

Cher received a standing ovation at the 2026 Grammys, sharing candid reflections on setbacks, resilience, and artistic perseverance. According to the source article, music legend Cher delivered a candid and reflective acceptance speech at the 2026 Grammy Awards after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award , offering advice drawn from decades of success and professional setbacks. Cher delivers powerful acceptan… The singer was met with a standing ovation as she took the stage, briefly asking the audience to be seated before beginning her remarks. Cher reflected on achieving fame early in life, noting that while she had clarity about her ambitions from childhood and found success as a teenager, she had not anticipated the instability that would later define parts of her career. During her speech, she spoke openly about the fluctuating nature of her professional journey, describing periods of recognition alongside moments of rejection. She referenced difficult years in the early 1980s, recalling how she was pushed into Las Vegas performances—then widely viewed as a sign of career decline—and later dropped by her record label. Cher credited her resurgence to the release of Believe , the 1998 hit that helped redefine her career. She noted that the song was among the first mainstream tracks to use what was then referred to as a “pitch machine,” later known as Auto-Tune. The track went on to earn her a Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Dance Recording and a nomination for Record of the Year. Turning her remarks toward younger artists, Cher emphasized resilience and persistence, encouraging musicians to remain committed to their ambitions despite setbacks. She urged creatives to continue pursuing their goals even when progress feels delayed. Now 79, Cher is a two-time Grammy Award winner whose influence spans music, film, and television , with her Grammys 2026 appearance underscoring her enduring legacy in the entertainment industry.

A Miami jury ruled blogger Milagro Cooper defamed Megan Thee Stallion by spreading false claims and a deepfake video. A federal jury in Miami has ruled in favor of Megan Thee Stallion in a civil defamation and harassment case against blogger Milagro “Milagro Gramz” Cooper. The panel found that Cooper spread false statements about the Grammy-winning rapper and promoted a sexually explicit deepfake video connected to the 2020 shooting involving musician Tory Lanez. After two days of deliberations, jurors determined that Cooper intentionally inflicted emotional distress, defamed Megan — born Megan Pete — and encouraged online followers to view the manipulated video. According to NBC News , the jury initially awarded $75,000 in damages, but U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga later reduced the amount to $59,000 in compliance with Florida law. Court filings also indicate that Pete may recover more than $1 million in legal fees. Pete testified that years of online harassment had negatively affected her mental health. She did not speak to reporters after the verdict but appeared satisfied with the outcome. Cooper expressed disappointment in post-trial comments to local media but said she respected the jury’s decision. The lawsuit alleged that Cooper acted in support of Lanez — real name Daystar Peterson — who was convicted in 2022 of shooting Pete after a party at Kylie Jenner’s home in July 2020. Evidence presented in court showed that Cooper received money from Lanez’s father and directed her audience to the deepfake video. Cooper denied coordinating with Lanez, arguing her posts were protected commentary, but jurors rejected that defense. Lanez, serving a 10-year prison sentence in California, declined repeated efforts to obtain his deposition in the civil case and was fined for obstructing pretrial discovery. His links to Cooper were referenced multiple times throughout the trial and in prior court proceedings related to harassment allegations. Jurors also classified Cooper as a media defendant but concluded she did not act with neutrality. The verdict highlights increasing concerns over digital harassment, deepfake technology, and coordinated online abuse targeting public figures, particularly Black women.
