  • DRC to Launch Strategic Investment Fund for Growth and Jobs

    The DRC plans a new Strategic Investment Fund to finance infrastructure, energy, and agriculture, boosting jobs, transparency, and national sovereignty. The Democratic Republic of Congo has taken a step towards creating a new Strategic Investment Fund, designed to mobilise financing for major development projects and strengthen national sovereignty. Finance Minister Doudou Fwamba presented the draft decree on Friday, 15 August 2025, at a Council meeting.

  • South Africa Engages Russia Over Citizens Fighting in Ukraine

    South Africa says it is in talks with Russia to repatriate citizens who say they were deceived into fighting in Ukraine. South Africa’s government has confirmed it is in active discussions with Russian authorities to secure the return of a group of South African citizens who are currently involved in Russia’s war effort in Ukraine, following claims they were misled into joining the conflict. Presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said the government had received distress calls from the men and considers their situation a high priority due to the risks they face in an active war zone. According to the government, the men were incorporated into Russian military units and are now exposed to serious danger. The case involves 17 South African nationals and two citizens of Botswana who travelled to Russia in July. Multiple legal complaints allege that the group was recruited under false pretences, having been told they would receive training for non-combat roles, including work as bodyguards or participation in a professional development programme. The accusations have drawn national attention because they involve Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, the daughter of former South African president Jacob Zuma. She has been named in several lawsuits alleging she played a role in facilitating the men’s recruitment. Zuma-Sambudla has denied wrongdoing and has filed her own police complaint, stating that she herself was deceived by another individual involved in the recruitment process. Government officials said diplomatic engagement is focused primarily on Russian authorities, as available information indicates the men were absorbed into Russian military structures. South Africa has also maintained limited contact with Ukrainian authorities as part of broader efforts to assess the situation. Russia’s embassy in South Africa has not publicly commented on the matter. Family members of the men have staged protests in recent weeks, including a demonstration outside Durban city hall, calling for their immediate return. Relatives have reported limited contact with the men and raised concerns about alleged coercion, including claims that some were pressured to sign documents in Russian that they did not understand. One mother told local media that her son last contacted her in late August, expressing fear that he was being deployed to frontline combat areas against his will. South African authorities say discussions remain ongoing and that all possible diplomatic channels are being explored to bring the men home safely. This article is based on reporting by The Guardian.

  • Xenophobia Tensions Put South Africa Under Regional Scrutiny

    South Africa faces regional pressure as xenophobia claims, protests and migrant safety concerns draw diplomatic attention. South Africa ’s migration debate is drawing wider regional scrutiny after an EWN report quoted political economist Dr Dale McKinley as saying claims that foreign nationals are “stealing jobs” are not supported by data and are being amplified for political purposes. McKinley told CapeTalk that misinformation, social media campaigns and political rhetoric have helped turn migration into a blame point for unemployment, crime and pressure on public services. The debate comes as Daily Maverick reported that Nigeria, Ghana and Mozambique have raised concerns with Pretoria over the treatment of their citizens. The issue has also drawn wider attention after the report that 130 Nigerians sought voluntary repatriation following renewed anti-immigration protests in South Africa. McKinley argued that migrant communities are often used as political scapegoats, especially before elections, while the economic role of foreign nationals is frequently ignored or distorted. South African authorities have condemned xenophobic violence, but the diplomatic pressure shows the issue is no longer only a domestic political dispute. It now sits within a broader regional conversation about migrant safety, African solidarity and state responsibility.

  • C64 Delays Complaint Against Tshisekedi

    C64 says it will strengthen its complaint against Félix Tshisekedi before filing. The Article 64 Coalition, known as C64, has postponed the filing of its planned complaint against President Félix Tshisekedi , saying it needs more time to include new legal and factual elements in the case, according to 7SUR7 . The opposition platform said recently collected documents and developments from recent days justified a delay in the procedure. The complaint had initially been announced for June 9 after C64 accused Tshisekedi of attempting to undermine the constitutional order. C64 said the move does not mean the complaint has been abandoned. Instead, the coalition described the delay as part of an effort to make the legal action more robust and credible before it is submitted. The postponement follows earlier opposition mobilization against possible constitutional changes in the DRC. It was previously reported that C64 had announced both the complaint and a planned sit-in, while another report says that opposition concerns over constitutional reform have centered on fears about presidential term limits.
