Recruit 3 players from Atletico Lusaka, one from Kabwe Warriors NDINAWE SIMPELWE Ndola SUPER League side Nkana wasted little time in the transfer market after being removed from the list of clubs under a FIFA transfer ban, unveiling four new signings from Atletico Lusaka and Kabwe Warriors. Nkana confirmed arrivals of defender Simon Chipanama and midfielders Francis “Bubu” Mutalange and Abel Kanyamuna from National League side Atletico, while striker Jackson Kampamba joins from Warriors. All the four have been handed two-and-a-half-year contracts. The signings come a few days after Nkana regained the ability to register players following the lifting of the transfer restrictions that had plunged the club into struggles on the pitch. Chief executive officer Mwansa Kapyanga described the four as the right material to contribute positively towards regaining the lost glory. Leading the arrivals is former Atletico captain Kanyamuna, a 24-year-old midfielder, who brings European experience after spells...

Makerere University has launched electronic academic transcripts and certificates, allowing graduates to access their credentials online and enabling employers and other authorized parties to verify them digitally, in what the institution says is a major step toward modernizing academic service delivery. The new system is part of a broader digital transformation that also includes expanded online learning and a shift to competency-based education beginning in the 2026/2027 academic year.  Academic Registrar Prof. Mukadasi Buyinza said the e-transcripts and e-certificates will spare graduates the inconvenience of repeatedly returning to the university to obtain certified academic documents. “The new e-transcripts and certificates will enable graduates to access their academic documents electronically while allowing employers and other third parties to verify their authenticity online with the graduate’s permission,” Buyinza said. He said the initiative will improve the security, credibility and accessibility of Makerere’s academic records while streamlining verification services for graduates, employers and institutions....

Oumar Farouk Sesay: Sierra Leone Telegraph: 20 July 2026: For centuries, rulers have sought protection from the consequences of their failures by shifting blame onto those around them. Under monarchies, the king was often regarded as divinely appointed and therefore beyond error. When mistakes were made, courtiers, servants, advisers, or convenient scapegoats were made to suffer instead. In some royal traditions, even a “whipping boy” could be punished for a prince’s misconduct. The message was unmistakable: the ruler must remain innocent, even when wrongdoing occurs under his authority. That instinct did not disappear with the monarchy. It survives in modern republics, including Sierra Leone, where presidents are often shielded from criticism by ministers, party officials, security commanders, and political loyalists who are prepared to absorb public anger on their behalf. Whenever citizens are killed, injured, detained, or denied justice, a familiar defence is quickly assembled: the president did not know;...
