Beni’s role as provisional capital of North Kivu has exposed infrastructure gaps. Officials urge Kinshasa to enhance support for relocated provincial services When Goma fell to AFC/M23 over a year ago, the city of Beni stepped in as North Kivu’s provisional capital, absorbing provincial government offices to maintain administrative continuity. Departments were relocated with little warning or preparatioN. THE REPORT revealed that working conditions remain difficult due to limited infrastructure and resources. North Kivu’s governor established an interim administration in Beni to keep public services running, but this move was executed without sufficient funding, according to several administrative sources. Currently, the governor’s office operates from the town hall, while other provincial departments function in rented offices with inadequate facilities, complicating coordination and day-to-day work. Many civil servants who fled Goma left their homes and belongings behind and now live in precarious conditions in Beni. Some employees, speaking anonymously, are urging the Congolese central government to provide greater support to both North Kivu and South Kivu, provinces strained by the ongoing conflict linked to AFC/M23 . The situation underscores the need for a more sustainable administrative setup. Observers say the central government should allocate emergency funding to improve office infrastructure in Beni, secure permanent accommodations for relocated services, and provide social assistance to displaced workers. Without such measures, Beni’s stopgap role as North Kivu’s capital may continue to hamper governance and leave public servants without the support they need.

Nigerian rapper Vector says he no longer attends church, describing faith as personal and not dependent on a physical building. Nigerian rapper Olanrewaju Ogunmefun David, popularly known as Vector Tha Viper , has explained why he no longer attends church , stating that he does not believe in church as a physical building.

Martin Fayulu says democratic countries should suspend aid to Rwanda until full compliance with UN Resolution 2773. Congolese opposition leader Martin Fayulu has called on democratic countries to suspend aid to Rwanda until there is full compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 2773, arguing that the latest U.S. sanctions on the Rwanda Defence Force and four senior officers should be followed by broader diplomatic pressure. His position came after Washington announced sanctions on March 2, 2026 against the RDF and four commanders over their role in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo crisis. Fayulu said the U.S. move was a welcome step but not enough, aligning himself with Denis Mukwege’s call for tougher international action on Kigali. The political message marks a push to move beyond targeted sanctions and toward wider measures tied to implementation of the UN resolution adopted on February 21, 2025. Resolution 2773 called on M23 to halt its offensive , withdraw from areas under its control, and dismantle parallel administrations in eastern DRC. It also demanded that the Rwanda Defence Force cease support for M23 and withdraw from Congolese territory without preconditions, while urging renewed regional diplomacy . The U.S. sanctions target the RDF as an institution and four senior officers: Mubarakh Muganga, Vincent Nyakarundi, Ruki Karusisi, and Stanislas Gashugi. Under the sanctions, any property or interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with the designated targets. Fayulu’s intervention adds opposition pressure from Kinshasa to a growing international effort to force compliance with UN demands over the conflict in eastern DRC. By explicitly calling for an aid suspension, he is framing the next step not simply as condemnation, but as coordinated leverage by countries that support peace and accountability in the region.

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika , popularly known as Blord, at the Kuje Correctional Centre over allegations of impersonation and conspiracy. The court’s decision follows a case involving social media activist Martins Vincent Otse , widely known as VeryDarkMan, who accused Blord of using his identity without authorization for commercial purposes.

The case has drawn public attention due to the prominence of both individuals in Nigeria’s digital and social media space. The presiding judge ordered that Blord be remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre pending further hearing. The matter was subsequently adjourned to April 27, 2026, for continuation of trial.

DRC won eight medals at the Pool Malebo Meeting in Brazzaville and is due back in Kinshasa on Monday. Slug: drc-athletics-team-set-to-return-after-8-medal-haul The Democratic Republic of Congo’s senior athletics team is set to return to Kinshasa on Monday after winning eight medals at the second Pool Malebo Meeting in Brazzaville, according to a 7sur7 report . The competition was held on April 11–12 at Brazzaville’s Massamba-Débat stadium and marked another edition of a cross-river athletics event linking athletes from the two Congos. According to the report, the DRC finished with two gold medals, five silver and one bronze. Mardochée Kanyinda claimed gold in the men’s 100 metres in 10.30 seconds, while Vicky Busa won the second gold in the 400 metres. The report also said the Congolese team took silver in the men’s 4x100m and 4x400m relays, while Maria Kalanga secured bronze. The latest showing builds on the first International Pool Malebo Meeting, staged in Kinshasa in April 2025, when organizers said the event brought together more than 250 athletes from Kinshasa and Brazzaville. Another report ahead of that 2025 meeting also described it as a competition meant to bring together clubs and athletes from both capitals. Held at the Massamba-Débat stadium , a venue used for athletics as well as football in Brazzaville, this year’s meeting gave the DRC delegation another regional benchmark as it looks to build on individual sprint results and relay performances. With the team expected back in Kinshasa on April 13, attention now turns to how these results can be used to strengthen preparation for future regional competitions.

Black Coffee’s Soulistic Music won a R7 million High Court case against Maserati South Africa over a customised MC20 Cielo that was not delivered. The Johannesburg High Court has ordered Maserati South Africa to pay Black Coffee's company Soulistic Music R7 million, plus interest and legal costs, after a dispute over a customised MC20 Cielo. Grammy Award-winning South African DJ and producer Black Coffee has secured a major court victory against Maserati South Africa in a dispute over a customised luxury supercar that was not delivered according to the timeline his company says had been agreed. The Johannesburg High Court granted summary judgment in favour of Black Coffee's company, Soulistic Music, ordering Maserati South Africa to pay R7 million. TopAuto reported that the court also ordered Maserati to pay interest at 10.5% per year from August 22, 2025 until the amount is fully settled . Maserati was also ordered to cover the legal costs of the proceedings. The ruling gives Black Coffee, whose real name is Nkosinathi Maphumulo, a significant victory in a luxury-car dispute that had already attracted public attention earlier in 2026. Dispute Started With a R9 Million Maserati MC20 Cielo The case centred on Black Coffee's attempt to upgrade from a Maserati MC20 Coupe to a customised MC20 Cielo valued at approximately R9 million. According to earlier TimesLIVE reporting on the court dispute , Black Coffee bought an MC20 Coupe from the dealership in 2022 for about R7 million. Around two years later, he entered discussions to trade that vehicle in for the more expensive MC20 Cielo. Black Coffee's court papers said Maserati offered R7 million as the trade-in value of his existing vehicle, leaving him to pay the remaining R2 million when the new car was delivered.

According to earlier TimesLIVE reporting on the court dispute , Black Coffee bought an MC20 Coupe from the dealership in 2022 for about R7 million. ADVERTISEMENT Around two years later, he entered discussions to trade that vehicle in for the more expensive MC20 Cielo. Black Coffee's court papers said Maserati offered R7 million as the trade-in value of his existing vehicle, leaving him to pay the remaining R2 million when the new car was delivered. His company maintained that the parties had reached a partly written and partly oral agreement under which the customised vehicle would be delivered by July 2025. Black Coffee Says Delivery Deadline Was Missed The dispute escalated after the dealership informed Black Coffee in June 2025 that his customised vehicle would only enter production in August and that there was no confirmed delivery date. Black Coffee regarded this as a breach of the agreement and sought to cancel the transaction and recover the R7 million trade-in amount. The Sowetan reported that Black Coffee subsequently demanded repayment after being informed that Maserati had secured an August production slot for the customised vehicle . ADVERTISEMENT The musician maintained that the dealership failed or refused to repay the money, leading Soulistic Music to pursue the matter in the Johannesburg High Court. Maserati Disputed Black Coffee's Version Maserati South Africa contested the claim. The company denied that July 2025 had been mutually agreed as the delivery deadline and argued that producing a heavily customised MC20 Cielo could take at least nine months after final specifications were confirmed. According to TopAuto's account of Maserati's defence , the manufacturer also argued that Black Coffee had selected additional custom colours and finishes that still required confirmation and approval from Maserati's head office before a delivery estimate could be established. The vehicle was far from a standard showroom model. Black Coffee reportedly requested 18 specifications, including Maserati's Blu Infinito exterior colour, glossy black diamond-cut wheels, a premium 12-speaker Sonus faber sound system and a leather-and-Alcantara interior with customised stitching. Maserati also disputed whether the R7 million trade-in value remained payable if the purchase of the replacement vehicle did not proceed.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - In a significant stride towards environmental conservation, Ethiopia's Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) has announced an ambitious plan to plant 6.5 billion saplings during the upcoming rainy season. This initiative forms a part of the country's broader Green Legacy Initiative aimed at bolstering the ecological integrity of the Nile Basin and supporting sustainable development. Fanosie Mekonnen, MoA's Lead Executive Officer for Natural Resources Protection and Usage , revealed in a conversation with the Ethiopian Press Agency (EPA) that a considerable focus of this year's reforestation efforts would be directed towards the Nile Basin. Specifically, 25 percent of the forestry seedlings, constituting a mix of 60 percent agroforestry and 40 percent forestry trees, are earmarked for this critical watershed area. The initiative is not only about planting trees but also about safeguarding crucial national assets like the Abbay Dam from sedimentation threats. By reinforcing natural resource management and conservation within the Nile Basin, Ethiopia is taking proactive steps to maintain the dam's longevity and functionality. Collaboration is at the heart of this endeavor, with Fanosie highlighting the collective efforts of state leaders and the general public in driving the Green Legacy Initiative forward. The nationwide commitment is evident in the participation in basin development and green legacy activities, demonstrating a unified approach to environmental stewardship. Looking back at the journey of the Green Legacy Initiative, Ethiopia has made commendable progress, with over 32.5 billion seedlings planted across the nation in the last five years. The ambitious goal to plant 50 billion seedlings in the initiative's first and second phases underscores Ethiopia's dedication to environmental conservation and climate action.
