When it kicks off in Morocco on July 26, the Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) promises to provide great goals, games and memories as 16 teams compete for the continental title. While the focus will be on the stars on the pitch, there may also be some attention on the fact that very few of the head coaches are female.  Cameroon‘s appointment of Valentine Nguel just weeks before the tournament, brought the number of WAFCON nations with female coaches to four — along with Zambia, Kenya, and South Africa. Still, the vast majority of coaches are men. Other teams have appointed female assistants in order to comply with a rule passed by FIFA earlier this year, which requires women’s teams to have at least one female coach on the bench. Africa may be moving slowly in the right direction with two head coaches of 12 at the 2025 WAFCON (16.7%)...

MBABANE- Eswatini Champions League representatives Nsingizini Hotspurs have added strength to their technical bench with two South African experts ahead of their upcoming CAF campaign.

Traders at Kiseka Market say a one-hour shooting spree by security operatives inside shops forced the business center to close as people scrambled to save their lives. The traders in arcades on Aga-khan Road kept their shops closed for over two hours on Monday, after plain-clothed security operatives in a “drone” vehicle clashed with them at Original Kiseka Spare Parts Center Arcade. The confrontation started when traders resisted arrests. A trader at the arcade, who asked not to be named, said security operatives in a drone minibus parked near the building. Three pistol-wielding officers went to the second floor of a spare parts shop and tried to arrest a trader, but he demanded their IDs and to know the charges against him. The trader added that the officers were in a hurry and were unwilling to be questioned. They tried to forcibly remove him from the shop as their colleagues...

The Namibia Scientific Society is inviting the public to discover the secret lives and groundbreaking conservation research of Namibia’s sea turtles during an upcoming public lecture in Windhoek. Titled ‘Sea Turtles in Namibia: Research & Conservation Namibia Nature Foundation’, the event will take place on 28 July at the Society’s premises. “This illustrated public lecture explores the first systematic study of sea turtles at the Kunene River mouth, where researchers documented over 2 100 turtle sightings.” The society said researchers have also confirmed the first mating events there and launched Namibia’s first-ever satellite tracking of sea turtles there. “Come and learn why this unique stretch of coastline could be far more important for sea turtle conservation than previously thought, and hear about the plans for future research along the entire Namibian coast.” The society informed that their guest speaker is Joachim Naulaerts, a marine biologist and Technical Advisor for Coastal...

Kabelo Masoabi A mechanic employed by Kopano Ke Matla Joint Venture, the contractor constructing the Polihali to Katse transmission tunnel, has denied stealing 50 litres of diesel from the company’s camp at Ha Bereng, Katse, in Leribe. The 42-year-old, Retšelisitsoe Nchaka, is facing a theft charge before the Leribe Magistrate’s Court, where he has pleaded not guilty when he appeared this past week. The matter is before Magistrate Tlohang Mohanoe. The prosecution alleges that on 23 April last year, police from Ha Lejone stopped Mr Nchaka’s vehicle and found two 25-litre containers filled with diesel. Officers allegedly asked him to produce proof that he had purchased the fuel, but he failed to do so. Testifying in his defence, Mr Nchaka maintained that the diesel belonged to him and had been bought by a client, Ntšepase Matete, as part-payment for vehicle repairs. He told the court that Ms Matete owed him...

El 11 de junio de 1999, el Gobierno de Guinea Ecuatorial otorgó a la ya extinta INCAT Petroleum Services Limited una concesión de 25 años, renovable, para rehabilitar, ampliar y gestionar las operaciones del puerto de Luba. La información figura en los archivos de Cándido Muatetema Rivas a los que ha tenido acceso Diario Rombe. Cuatro años después, el 21 de junio de 2003, un acuerdo firmado por el entonces primer ministro, Cándido Muatetema Rivas; el representante de INCAT, Mcdowall Howard James; y el entonces director de Gepetrol SA, Domingo Mba Esono, definió la estructura accionarial inicial de Luba Freeport Ltd. En aquel momento, INCAT Petroleum Services Limited y Gepetrol SA eran los únicos socios de la sociedad. La estructura de control de Luba Freeport Ltd dio un giro decisivo en 2006. Bajo el mandato de Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima al frente del Ministerio de Minas, Industria y Energía, la...

Face à la déferlante de violences xénophobes qui frappe de nouveau l’Afrique du Sud, la Communauté Économique des États de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CEDEAO) tape du poing sur la table. Les chefs d’État de la sous-région dénoncent les exactions ciblant les ressortissants africains. Ils ont une décision stratégique : porter le débat sur cette question sur la table de l’Union africaine. Trop, c’est trop. C’est en substance le message adressé par les dirigeants ouest-africains au gouvernement sud-africain. Exaspérée par la récurrence de ces attaques humiliantes qui touchent de plein fouet la communauté ouest-africaine, l’institution régionale exprime une « vive préoccupation » face à un phénomène qui menace l’unité et la cohésion du continent. Fustigeant des traitements qualifiés d’« inhumains », la CEDEAO n’a pas usé de langue de bois pour interpeller les autorités de Pretoria. L’organisation exhorte le gouvernement sud-africain à sortir de sa réserve, à reprendre le contrôle de la...
