The City of Tshwane in South Africa's (SA) Gauteng province has suspended water supply from the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Works following a gastrointestinal illness outbreak that has affected more than 400 residents, mostly children under the age of four.

The Department of Water and Sanitation says the municipality failed to chlorinate the water for three weeks, from 24 September to 14 October, due to a dispute with its chlorine supplier. Meanwhile, WaterCAN says at least six criminal cases have been opened involving the city's wastewater infrastructure, raising concerns about accountability and the deterioration of water and sanitation services in the capital.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) says the Malian military, armed groups and insurgent forces have committed serious violations of the laws of war since July 2026, while the international community has largely failed to act.

The organisation says the military and its Russian-controlled Africa Corps, formerly the Wagner Group, have killed and wounded scores of civilians in attacks and in custody. Drone strikes and resulting civilian casualties also more than doubled between April and August compared with the same period last year. 

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Ilaria Allegrozzi, the Senior Sahel Researcher at HRW.
