Apply for the Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027. Check the 30 November deadline, tuition coverage, application steps and fees before enrolling. NIGERIA — 27 October 2026: Applications are open for the Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027, a partnership between Nigerian producer Don Jazzy and TS Academy. The linked application form gives 30 November 2026 as the closing date. The offer can reduce tuition by up to 100%, but successful applicants must still pay a discounted application fee. Full tuition coverage, admission and additional learner support are separate decisions. How do you apply for the Don Jazzy scholarship? Start at TS Academy’s scholarship website, follow its application link, choose a course and submit your details by 30 November 2026. Awards can cover up to 100% of tuition, but a discounted application fee remains payable if selected, and extra support is conditional. What the scholarship covers and what it does not PUNCH’s report on the programme says the initiative was unveiled on 26 October. Its practical significance is a route into technology training for people who may struggle with the full tuition cost. That does not make every place fully funded. The TS Academy programme page describes awards of up to 100% off tuition, depending on selection. Applicants should therefore read their individual offer rather than assume the largest advertised discount applies to them. The academy’s terms describe the application fee as non-refundable. The scholarship page says recipients receive a discount on that fee, but does not specify the discounted amount. Ask for the total amount due, what it pays for and the relevant payment conditions before accepting an offer. This is a training-fee award. It should not be treated as a cash grant, a general living allowance or a promise that every applicant will receive equipment. Courses and entry requirements Continue Reading Full Article TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027: Apply, Deadline and Fees By Kamau Bahati Entertainment Editor Kamau Bahati Home Comment Oct 27, 2026 Oct 27, 2026 5 min read Copy link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Published Updated: NIGERIA — 27 October 2026: Applications are open for the Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027, a partnership between Nigerian producer Don Jazzy and TS Academy.

The TS Academy programme page describes awards of up to 100% off tuition, depending on selection. Applicants should therefore read their individual offer rather than assume the largest advertised discount applies to them. ADVERTISEMENT The academy’s terms describe the application fee as non-refundable. The scholarship page says recipients receive a discount on that fee, but does not specify the discounted amount. Ask for the total amount due, what it pays for and the relevant payment conditions before accepting an offer. This is a training-fee award. It should not be treated as a cash grant, a general living allowance or a promise that every applicant will receive equipment. Courses and entry requirements The programme advertises beginner-friendly pathways including software development, cybersecurity, data analytics, artificial intelligence and automation, digital marketing and product design. Applicants can compare the options with their experience and the work they want to pursue. TS Academy says most programmes do not require previous technology experience. Its general eligibility terms require users to be at least 18, or to have parental or guardian consent. Applicants should still check whether their chosen course has additional requirements. The form includes country and education questions, but those fields do not establish that every nationality or qualification is automatically eligible. People applying from outside Nigeria should obtain confirmation of admission and learning arrangements before making financial commitments. For comparison, XTRAfrica’s separate MTN scholarship guide concerns another programme, with its own rules and a closed 2026 application cycle. ADVERTISEMENT How to submit an application Use the scholarship website’s own link to the Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship application form . Enter your name, email and telephone number accurately. Provide the requested location, education and employment information. Select your course, preferred learning mode and proposed start date. Indicate any need for additional learner support. Read the terms, review your answers and submit once. The form warns against duplicate applications. Keep your contact details active after submission. The provider says successful applicants receive award and enrolment instructions through the details supplied. Submitting a form is not an admission decision. Deadline and start dates The form lists 28 February, 30 March and 31 July 2027 as preferred start dates, alongside online, physical and hybrid learning options. These are preferences offered during application, not confirmation of a place in a particular class or location. The landing page’s FAQ refers to a February cohort, so applicants choosing a later date should confirm the applicable timetable directly. Ask about course duration, weekly commitments and any attendance requirements before planning work or study around the training. Although the closing date is 30 November, the form does not state a closing hour or timezone. Submitting earlier avoids relying on an assumed last-minute cutoff. Laptops, data and employment support The provider advertises a limited pool of laptops and data assistance. Its FAQ makes clear that requesting help does not guarantee an award; support depends on need, eligibility and availability. Applicants should plan how they would participate if extra assistance is not offered. Trending Now US Democrats' Rwanda Record: Peaceful Change and Congo Sovereignty .

ADVERTISEMENT Mentorship, internships and job-placement support are also advertised. Assistance with employment is different from a guaranteed job. Before enrolling, ask how those services operate for the selected course and learning location. Before accepting an offer Read the academy’s terms and conditions , especially the scholarship and certificate provisions. Awards can be full or partial, and continued support is subject to academic and conduct conditions. Completion certificates also depend on the relevant course policy. Use provider-linked application and payment instructions. XTRAfrica previously reported a separate Don Jazzy impersonation and fake-giveaway incident ; that historical report is not an allegation about this programme. The decisive document for a selected applicant is the written offer: it should make the tuition discount, remaining fee, course, start date and enrolment conditions clear before payment.

Nathi Mthethwa’s biography, political career, wife, diplomatic role and the official closure of the French investigation into his death. French authorities have closed the investigation into Nathi Mthethwa’s 2025 death, allowing South African estate proceedings to move forward. Who was Nathi Mthethwa? Emmanuel Nkosinathi “Nathi” Mthethwa was a South African politician and diplomat who served as police minister, arts and culture minister, and ambassador to France. He died in Paris at 58 in September 2025. In September 2026, South Africa confirmed that the French investigation had been closed. Why Nathi Mthethwa is back in the news South Africa’s Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Development said on 18 September 2026 that it had received documentation required by the Master of the High Court concerning Mthethwa’s estate. The documents followed the Paris Prosecutor’s Office’s finalisation of its investigation into his death. The official Justice Ministry statement said the French finding reaffirmed the cause previously communicated by the family. It did not repeat the cause in the statement itself. The ministry said the matter was finalised and closed, enabling administration of the estate to proceed. eNCA’s report on the closure confirmed the same administrative consequence, while Jacaranda FM carried Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi’s call for the public and media to stop circulating unfounded claims and respect the family’s privacy. French authorities had previously described the death as suicide. The new South African statement is important because it confirms receipt of the formal documentation needed at home; it is not an invitation to revive unsupported theories about the circumstances. His death and the official record Mthethwa died in Paris on 30 September 2025 while serving as South Africa’s ambassador to France. He was 58. The initial Associated Press report cited the Paris prosecutor and reported that the investigation found no signs of a struggle at the scene. The Presidency later declared a Special Official Funeral Category 2 in KwaMbonambi, KwaZulu-Natal. Its official funeral notice recorded his death, age, diplomatic posting and 15 years in Cabinet.

The Presidency later declared a Special Official Funeral Category 2 in KwaMbonambi, KwaZulu-Natal. Its official funeral notice recorded his death, age, diplomatic posting and 15 years in Cabinet. The September 2026 closure supplies an official endpoint to the French inquiry and allows the estate process to continue. It does not change the date of death, his age or his record of public service. ADVERTISEMENT From anti-apartheid activism to Parliament Mthethwa was born on 23 January 1967 and became politically active as a teenager in KwaZulu-Natal. The South African Government’s career profile says he joined the Klaarwater Youth Organisation at 15, later became a shop steward in the Food and Allied Workers Union and participated in the ANC’s underground Operation Vula. He rose through structures of the ANC Youth League and entered Parliament in 2002. He chaired the National Assembly’s Minerals and Energy Portfolio Committee and became ANC chief whip in 2008. Mthethwa served as minister of safety and security from September 2008 until the portfolio became the police ministry in 2009. He remained police minister until 2014. He then led arts and culture from 2014 to 2019 and the combined sport, arts and culture portfolio from 2019 to March 2023. His education included a diploma in community development from the University of Natal, an executive preparatory programme certificate in mining engineering from the University of Johannesburg, and a leadership communication certificate from Rhodes University. Diplomatic posting in France After leaving Cabinet and Parliament in 2023, Mthethwa was appointed South Africa’s ambassador to France. The South African Embassy in Paris profile recorded his earlier political and ministerial roles and his service as South Africa’s representative in France. He also served as South Africa’s permanent delegate to UNESCO. The posting extended his public career from domestic politics into diplomacy and cultural relations. At his official funeral, President Cyril Ramaphosa’s eulogy remembered Mthethwa’s activism, trade-union work, ANC leadership and advocacy for artists’ rights. His political legacy remains debated, especially his years in the police portfolio, but the official record establishes the offices he held and the chronology of his service. ADVERTISEMENT Personal life and family information Mthethwa was married to Philisiwe Buthelezi. The Presidency addressed her directly at his funeral and extended condolences to her and the wider family. Official funeral material also acknowledged his children but did not establish their number or names, so weaker biographical claims should not be repeated as fact.

Nigerian music star Flavour says he isn't built for a traditional relationship and describes himself as part of the "wild world."

The comments offer a rare glimpse into the mindset of one of Nigeria’s most private music stars.

Renowned South African football figure Doctor Khumalo asserts his confidence in Bafana Bafana securing a coveted spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup over Nigeria, according to a report by soccernet Both teams find themselves in Group C of the qualifiers, facing stiff competition from Rwanda, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and the Benin Republic. Despite Nigeria's formidable football history, boasting six World Cup appearances and three continental championships, their journey in the qualifiers began with less-than-stellar performances, drawing against Lesotho and Zimbabwe. South Africa, while slightly more successful, earned three points from victories over Benin and a loss to Rwanda. The narrative gained momentum following their encounter in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals, where Nigeria emerged victorious on penalties. Undeterred, South Africa demonstrated resilience, securing a bronze medal in the third-place faceoff against DR Congo. As anticipation builds for their June rematch, Khumalo expresses optimism about South Africa's potential success. He calls for unwavering support for coach Hugo Broos and the team, declaring confidently, "I can bet all my money that SA can overcome that obstacle," referring to Nigeria. Adding a layer of intrigue to the upcoming World Cup qualifiers are the recent struggles of Nigeria, currently ranked as the third-best team in Africa.
