Last update: 6 hours ago

Health Innovation: Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town carried out Africa’s first microwave thyroid ablation, using a Terumo TATO platform and UK specialist Dr Gibran Timothy Yusuf to build a future Centre of Excellence for state-sector patients. Disaster Response: Nepal-Tibet flash floods have killed at least 165 and left hundreds missing, including South Africans; Gift of the Givers says helicopter surveillance is the only access and teams are on standby. Energy & Power: Tanzania’s $2.9bn Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project spotlighted, but investors are urged to focus on grid connection details, not just generation capacity. Climate Resilience: Namibia is pushing a shift from drought response to preparedness, warning it can’t wait for disaster; the country also faces debate over who counts as a “hero.” Politics & Governance: Tanzania’s CCM expelled VP Emmanuel Nchimbi and nominated Energy Minister Deogratius Ndejembi as his replacement. Tech & Connectivity: Telin and Peace Cable plan a 1.4 Tbps expansion linking Asia, Africa and Europe. Finance: The AU-backed APRM will launch an African credit ratings agency in Mauritius in October to cut borrowing costs. Sports: Uganda named its squad for the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier in Tanzania.
