News — Latest Africa headlines and breaking stories

Want clear, fast updates from across Africa? This News page brings you the most important stories right now — politics, culture, economy, and investigations. We focus on facts, quick context, and what the story means for people on the ground.

Every article you see here is chosen to tell you what matters today and why. We publish updates several times a day, mark ongoing stories, and add deeper pieces when an issue needs more explanation. If something looks urgent, you’ll find it at the top of the page.

What we cover

We cover national headlines and stories that cross borders. Expect coverage of government moves, elections, court cases, business shifts, social issues, and cultural events. You’ll also find human stories that show how events affect everyday life — not just numbers and statements.

Each story includes a short summary so you can scan quickly. If you want more, click through for full reporting and background. We aim to keep our language simple and avoid jargon so everyone can follow the news.

Top stories you shouldn’t miss

Here are two current features on this page. First, a piece that looks at major U.S. aviation disasters and what they taught regulators, pilots, and airports. It pulls lessons from several high-profile crashes and explains how safety changes happen after big failures.

Second, we follow a high-profile court case in South Africa involving a well-known sangoma, Gogo Maweni. That story explains the charges, the context around traditional practices, and why the case has stirred public debate. We report on facts in court records and statements from involved parties.

Those examples show how we mix international angles with local impact. A global event can change travel, trade, or safety rules here. A local court case can reveal larger social tensions. We try to connect the dots so you understand both the headline and the context.

If you spot an error or have a tip, tell us. We verify tips before publishing and correct mistakes quickly when they happen. Our goal is useful, trustworthy reporting you can rely on.

Finally, share what matters. When a story affects your community, share it and add your perspective in the comments. That helps others see why a headline matters locally. We keep things focused, clear, and honest — just the news you need, without the extra noise.
