SA government briefs media on 2nd phase of 2026/27 Repatriation, Restitution of Human Remains, Heritage Objects Plan

Civil society groups in Zimbabwe had planned to stage anti-government protests today, but the demonstrations now appear unlikely to go ahead following a heavy security deployment and repeated warnings from authorities. Provincial Ministers, senior police officials and the military have warned that anyone taking part in the July 31 protests would face arrest.

The demonstrations, organised by activists through social media, were intended to oppose recently passed constitutional amendments that would extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa's term in office by two years, from 2028 to 2030, and replace direct presidential elections with the election of the president by Parliament.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Channel Africa's Correspondent in Zimbabwe, John Cassim.

Today marks the final day of the three-day extraordinary summit of troop-contributing countries to the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) in Kampala, Uganda.

 AUSSOM, which became operational in January 2025, is mandated to support Somalia's efforts to weaken the militant group Al-Shabaab, protect civilians, and create conditions for the gradual handover of security responsibilities to Somali security forces. However, the summit comes amid growing concerns about the mission's future funding, as the United States informed the African Union that it will end its financial support for AUSSOM on 31 December.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Professor Thomas Mandrup, Associate Professor at the Royal Danish Defence College and Stellenbosch University.
