South Africa's African National Congress (ANC) turns 113 years old today, since its founding in 1912 in Bloemfontein in the country's Free State province.

The ANC is the oldest liberation movement on the continent and has been governing South Africa since 1994, playing a pivotal role in shaping the country's history.

However, the party recently faced a substantial setback in the 2024 general elections, losing its majority and prompting the formation of a government of national unity.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to an ANC MP Cameron Dugmore to reflect on the party's rich history, its current challenges, and its prospects.

The Kenyan government says it will grant amnesty to Kenyans who illegally joined Russian military operations in Ukraine after Moscow agreed to stop recruiting Kenyan nationals.

Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs Minister Musalia Mudavadi said the decision followed diplomatic consultations in Moscow with Sergey Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, during an official visit from March 15 to March 18.

There are growing calls in Nigeria for a major overhaul of the country's policing system, as insecurity continues to rise.

Key proposals include the introduction of state policing, better training and welfare for officers, and the use of technology to curb brutality and rebuild confidence in law enforcement.
