The arrest in South Africa of Ndodana Tshuma, a 45-year-old Zimbabwean man accused of murdering his wife and two children in England, has sparked concerns among crime and security activists that porous borders are turning the country into a destination for international fugitives and criminals.

Tshuma allegedly fled the United Kingdom after the incident, which occurred more than a week ago. He was subsequently arrested in South Africa and is expected to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court today.

The case has renewed debate about border security, cross-border crime and law enforcement cooperation, with some experts arguing that weaknesses in border management create opportunities for wanted suspects to evade authorities.

China’s success in eliminating absolute poverty could provide a roadmap for developing countries across the Global South. This is according to the President of the African Policy Institute and former Kenyan government adviser, Peter Kagwanja.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the recently concluded International Seminar on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in China’s Ningxia Autonomous Region, Kagwanja said the forum had created an important platform for sharing China’s poverty alleviation experience with developing nations.

He argued that lessons from China’s development journey could help countries across Africa and the wider Global South address poverty, promote inclusive growth and accelerate socio-economic development.

About 40 witnesses have testified before the parliamentary Ad Hoc Committee investigating the military aircraft crash that claimed the lives of Malawi's Vice President, Saulos Chilima, and eight others. The inquiry has revealed that the military Dornier aircraft was not equipped with either a cockpit voice recorder or a flight data recorder, meaning the "black box" data that underpinned the official 2024 findings never existed. Committee Chairperson Walter Nyamilandu says the inquiry is receiving substantial testimony that is helping to strengthen the investigation and establish the circumstances surrounding the crash. Lulu Gaboo spoke to Channel Africa's Correspondent in Malawi, George Mhango.
