AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

National Mourning: Zimbabwe is preparing for the Wednesday burial of National Hero Brig-Gen (Ret.) Donald Silundi Tshuma, with President Mnangagwa presiding as his body moves from Bulawayo to Swart village for a family ceremony, then to Harare’s Charles Gumbo Barracks before burial at the National Heroes Acre. Regional Tensions: South Africa’s Africa Day plans are hit by a continent-wide snub, with African ambassadors reportedly boycotting a North West event over fears tied to anti-immigrant militancy and harassment of foreign nationals. Policy Clash: In South Africa, Icasa pushes back on a proposed B-BBEE shift in ICT, arguing the plan would weaken transformation rules. Botswana Rights Milestone: Botswana has removed colonial-era criminal provisions against same-sex relations, though social pushback is expected to intensify. Culture & Belonging: Africa Day conversations across the region keep circling back to identity, safety, and who feels at home.
