The Horn of Africa which is one of the world's most impoverished regions is being ransacked by billions of tiny invaders. Farmers look in horror as desert locust’s move in cloud-like swarms darkening the sky. The insects blast through fields of crops at an astonishing pace, decimating livelihoods in the process.
The pests crossed the Gulf of Aden and arrived in Somalia and Ethiopia last year. They were spotted in Kenya about two months ago in what has become the worst infestation there in 70 years. The U.N. says the region is already vulnerable to food shortages, and it warns that the international community only has a small window to prevent "looming catastrophe."

Locust Plague in East Africa

The final state capture report has exposed a series of glaring gaps in President Cyril Ramaphosa’s testimony on the widespread looting of state resources.

It also showed that he lied when quizzed on the work of the high-level review panel on the State Security Agency.

In July 2019, former President Jacob Zuma took the stand at the state capture commission and insisted that he had no prior knowledge of the Guptas’ now infamous 2013 use of the Waterkloof military airbase. Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has recommended that the country’s Constitution be changed to allow for the president to be directly elected.
