The 2026 Reporters Without Borders (RSF) World Press Freedom Index shows a mixed, predominantly concerning landscape for journalism in Africa. While Namibia and Cape Verde lead with "satisfactory" rankings, most nations face "problematic" to "very serious" conditions, marked by increased legal constraints, physical safety issues, and economic pressures on media. According to the report,  press freedom has never been so strained in sub-Saharan Africa, a region battered by political instability, from the Great Lakes to the Sahel to Sudan. Wars, the criminalisation of journalism and economic challenges are the catalysts of this decline.  Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to Jeanne Lagarde, Advocacy Officer for Reporters Without Borders for Sub Saharan Africa

Credit rating agency Moody's has surrendered the regulatory licence of its South African subsidiary as it focuses on serving cross-border investors and African issuers seeking international funding. The firm says the decision reflects a broader adjustment to its business model and confirms that it will continue to rate South African entities from offshore offices. Regulators have approved a phased transition to limit disruption, allowing banks to rely on existing Moody's South Africa ratings for regulatory purposes for 24 months, until April 2028. The move signals a shift in how credit ratings will be used in one of Africa's most developed financial markets.  Peter Ndoro spoke to President of the African Credit Rating Association (ACRA), Dr Sifiso Falala...
