Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema has been re-elected for a second five-year term after securing 60% of the vote. The result follows a contested election process, with his closest challenger, Brian Mundubile, earlier claiming victory and alleging voting irregularities, although he did not provide evidence to support the claims. After being declared the winner, Hichilema said the election had demonstrated that Zambia is a country of peace, law and order, and a democratic nation that settles its differences at the ballot box rather than through other means. Unathi Batyashe spoke to Political Analyst Dr Shingai Mutizwa-Mangiza

On 25 August, Channel Africa will host a webinar exploring "Africa's Digital Future: Innovation & Technology," a global conversation that seeks to redefine innovation from a uniquely African perspective. As part of International Youth Month, Channel Africa is shining a spotlight on the rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on Africa's youth. With the continent home to the world's youngest population, young Africans are no longer simply participating in the AI revolution; they are increasingly driving and shaping it. The webinar will examine how AI and emerging technologies are transforming opportunities for young Africans, while exploring the challenges, skills and policies needed to ensure that the continent's youth are at the forefront of Africa's digital future. Unathi Batyashe spoke to the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)'s Group Executive: Technology, Dr Vuyo Nyembezi

Africa's energy and infrastructure deficit remains one of the biggest obstacles to economic growth, industrialisation and regional trade. That challenge is now at the centre of discussions in Johannesburg, where policymakers, investors and industry leaders are meeting for the Continental Energy and Infrastructure Investment Forum. The forum is looking at how Africa can mobilise capital for critical infrastructure, expand energy access and develop projects that can support industrialisation and deeper economic integration across the continent. Unathi Batyashe spoke to Chiboni Evans, the convener of the Continental Energy and Infrastructure Investment Forum.
