Amnesty International has raised serious concerns over a deadly military airstrike in northwest Nigeria's Zamfara state, where at least 100 civilians were reportedly killed in a crowded market.

The organisation is calling for an urgent, independent investigation, saying the strike is part of a worrying pattern of civilian casualties linked to military operations in northern Nigeria. While the Nigerian military maintains that its operations are intelligence-led and aimed at armed groups, rights organisations say repeated incidents in recent months are raising urgent questions about the protection of civilians in conflict zones.

 Mpho Sithole spoke to Executive Director Amnesty International Nigeria, Isa Sanusi to unpack these concerns.

The Zimbabwean Government has moved to reassure the public that no cases of Hantavirus have been detected in the country, even as health authorities remain on high alert. As a precaution, three healthcare workers who were exposed to suspected cases have been placed under quarantine, highlighting the seriousness with which officials are treating the situation.

With growing global awareness around emerging and zoonotic diseases, the focus now is on preparedness, surveillance, and public reassurance.

 Mpho Sithole spoke to Farai Muroiwa Marapira ZANU PF's Director for Information and Publicity, to unpack what this means and whether there is any cause for concern.

ActionSA says it will formally lay criminal charges against South African (SA) President Cyril Ramaphosa over new claims related to the Phala Phala matter, following reports alleging a higher amount of money was stolen than previously disclosed.

 The party says the charges relate to alleged violations of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, as well as allegations of perjury and fraud, arguing that there was a deliberate misrepresentation of the value of funds stolen during the 2020 incident at the President's farm.

 ActionSA says the move is part of its continued pursuit of accountability through constitutional and legal channels, especially in light of recent political and judicial developments. Mpho Sithole spoke to ActionSA National Chairperson Michael Beaumont to unpack the party's decision and next steps.
