On The Discourse this morning, we turn our attention to Nepal, where massive search-and-rescue and mop-up operations are continuing following devastating flash floods swept through parts of the country on Wednesday. The disaster has killed hundreds and left more than 1,000 people missing, including hundreds of foreign nationals, with Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading among the worst-affected districts. For audiences across Africa, there are particular concerns about Africans caught up in the disaster, with six South African nationals currently reported missing; no other African nationality has been separately identified in the latest published breakdown. For a look at the situation facing foreign nationals and African citizens on the ground, the communities most severely affected and what aid workers urgently need, we spoke to Prabin Basnyat, a researcher and philanthropist, he is speaking to us from Tarakeshwar Municipality in Nepal's Bagmati Province

Nepal floods: Rescue efforts continue as African nationals remain among those reported missing

The debate over autonomous weapons is now moving from what these technologies can do to what governments should allow them to do. The International Committee of the Red Cross is urging States to agree on clear legal limits, arguing that human judgment and accountability must remain at the centre of decisions to use force. With governments due to meet in Geneva in November, there is renewed pressure to move from years of discussion towards a binding international agreement. For more on this, we're joined by Georgia Hinds, a Legal Adviser with the International Committee of the Red Cross. Georgia, welcome to Channel Africa.

The deadline to register your customary marriage in South Africa is this coming Monday the 31st August... Government says couples who tied the knot either before or after the year 2000 without formalising their union they have until Monday to register the marriages with the department of Home Affairs. A customary marriage is legal and valid in South Africa once the cultural requirements are met, even if it is never registered with the Department of Home Affairs, however registration serves as official proof of the marriage. This also protests spouses from severe legal battles over inheritance, pension funds, and deceased estates. To discuss this further, we spoke to Saneli Ngcobo, Notary Lawyer and Founder and Managing Director of Ngcobo SN Inc
