Ray White speaks to Africa Report Correspondent Crystal Orderson about stories making headlines across the continent. Questions are mounting over the SANDF’s withdrawal from the DRC, with conflicting reports suggesting South African troops are stranded in Goma due to transport delays, claims the military firmly denies, insisting the operation is proceeding in phases with all personnel safe and supplied. Crystal weighs in on whether this is a case of miscommunication, logistical hiccups, or media sensationalism, and what it means for South Africa’s peacekeeping credibility in the region. Meanwhile, in Tanzania, the arrest of opposition figure Amani Golugwa and the disqualification of CHADEMA from the upcoming election are raising red flags about democratic backsliding under President Samia Suluhu Hassan, prompting fears of a return to authoritarian tactics just months before a crucial vote.
