Posted at 15:1815:18 MALAWI BANS ZODWA WABANTU OVER REVEALING DANCE MOVES Peter Jegwa Lilongwe, Malawi Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images The authorities in Malawi have stopped South African celebrity Zodwa Wabantu from coming into the country to perform because her revealing dance moves are thought to be out of tune with the nation’s moral standards. The South African entertainer has made a career from explicit dancing styles which include wearing revealing clothes and often going on stage without any underwear. She was set to perform in the southern city of Blantyre on 11 June, but the show’s organisers say they have received communication from the country’s censorship board that the South African will not be allowed to enter the country. Tourism and Culture Minister Micheal Usi told a local newspaper that he backed the decision. The independent Daily Times newspaper quoted him as saying that he had received numerous calls from local women opposed to the South African performing in Malawi. “Imagine if she came to perform and undressed on stage, what will all those women think of me,” Mr Usi said. Malawi is a secular state with a liberal constitution that guarantees freedom of expression. It however, remains culturally conservative with most citizens leaning towards Christian teachings. Wabantu has previously been banned from performing in Zimbabwe and Zambia for similar reasons.

Posted at 13:5613:56 MURDERS SURGE BY 20% IN SOUTH AFRICA - MINISTER Will Ross Africa editor, BBC World Service Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images Police Minister Bheki Cele (C) has decried the latest crime figuresImage caption: Police Minister Bheki Cele (C) has decried the latest crime figures South Africa's police minister has said there has been a significant surge in the number of murders and other violent crimes. Bheki Cele said the first three months of this year were violent, brutal and unsafe for many South Africans. He said more than 6,000 people were killed - an increase of about 20% on the same period last year. Kidnappings showed the sharpest increase - more than doubling to over 3,000. There were also 10,000 more rapes between January and March. Mr Cele described the figures as dismal and vowed to weed out corrupt officers and better equip the police. He said better relations between communities and the police were needed to fight crime.

Posted at 13:1213:12 WOMEN EMPLOYED AS MOTORBIKE TAXI DRIVERS IN RWANDA Jean Claude Mwambutsa BBC Great Lakes, Kigali BBCCopyright: BBC A project employing women to drive electric-powered motorcycle taxis is being launched in Rwanda’s capital, Kigali. Male drivers currently dominate the sector. The first group of 120 women have just finished three months' training on riding as well as maintaining the new bikes. The project both challenges people's perception of women and is hoping to improve the environment. Ornella Uwobasa, who trained the women, says they want “to change the mentality” to show that women can do the job. “We want to see women on the roads, and everyone to know that women can work on the road,” she tells the BBC. BBCCopyright: BBC The project, jointly owned by the city authorities and a private company, is aimed at employing poor women who are given the motorbikes for free. The city's vice-mayor, Martine Urujeni, said the project will cut carbon emissions and reduce unemployment. “We focused on vulnerable women like single mothers - divorced and widows - because we want to improve their lives.” Around 35,000 motorbike taxis are registered in Kigali but most are operated by men. Rwanda encourages the use of electric motor vehicles but their numbers are still low, with only 150 registered so far this year.

Posted at 12:2412:24 AU CHIEF WARNS PUTIN OVER IMPACT ON AFRICA OF UKRAINE WAR AFPCopyright: AFP Senegal's President and head of the African Union, Macky Sall, has told his Russian counterpart that he should consider the impact that food shortages caused by the Ukraine conflict are having on the continent, the AFP news agency is reporting. The two men have been meeting in the southern Russian city of Sochi. AFP quotes President Sall him as saying that President Vladimir Putin should "become aware that our countries, even if they are far from the theatre [of action], are victims on an economic level" of the conflict. He added that food supplies should be "outside" of the West's sanctions on Russia. Prior to the conflict, more than 40% of wheat consumed in Africa came from either Ukraine or Russia. Before he left Senegal, President Sall's office said the visit was aimed at freeing up stocks of cereals and fertilisers that are currently blocked in Ukrainian ports. African countries have been particularly affected by the price increases caused by the war. Earlier, the Reuters news agency quoted the Kremlin as saying that Mr Putin would give an "exhaustive" explanation as to what is happening to Ukrainian grain. In his public remarks after the meeting, quoted by AFP, Mr Putin said Russia was "always on Africa's side".

Posted at 11:2911:29 KENYA POLL BODY DENIES RUTO'S CLAIM ABOUT MISSING VOTERS Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images Kenya's election commission chairman Wafula Chebukati has denied allegations of any breach of voters' dataImage caption: Kenya's election commission chairman Wafula Chebukati has denied allegations of any breach of voters' data Kenya's election commission has denied Deputy President William Ruto's claim that the agency and other government officials were planning to undermine the 9 August poll. The deputy president is one of the two leading candidates vying to take over from President Uhuru Kenyatta after the vote. His main rival is former prime minister Raila Odinga. Mr Ruto told European Union ambassadors during a meeting that a million voters had allegedly been moved off the voting roll from his strongholds by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). But IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said there was no "breach of the voter register or interference of the system that holds it". “Let's not talk about one million names missing, there's no such thing. The one million names we are talking about are for those who applied for transfers and we are undergoing the process of ensuring that the proper transfers are affected," he said. On Thursday, the deputy president accused government officials of taking sides in the forthcoming poll. Mr Ruto has also pulled out of a presidential debate scheduled for July, citing biased media coverage.

Posted at 10:2210:22 LAGOS CRUSHES MORE THAN 2,000 CONFISCATED MOTORBIKE TAXIS BBCCopyright: BBC The bikes have been involved in several road accidents in LagosImage caption: The bikes have been involved in several road accidents in Lagos The authorities in Lagos have begun the process of crushing more than 2,000 confiscated motorcycles seized this week as part of the attempts to enforce a ban on motorcycle taxis, known as okadas, in the Nigerian city. The ban was introduced following last month’s killing by a mob, allegedly made up of motorbike taxi drivers, of Sunday David, a 38-year-old sound engineer in the Lekki area of the city. BBCCopyright: BBC Authorities said okada riders do not respect road lawsImage caption: Authorities said okada riders do not respect road laws It’s not the first time the government has imposed a ban. In January 2020, the government banned the operation of motorcyclists in 15 local council areas across Lagos. But that stopped being enforced. Some are sceptical whether this ban will work as the okadas provide a vital service in places not covered by the public transport system. They are also an important source of employment for many young men in the vast city, where lack of work is a big problem.

Posted at 8:518:51 NIGERIA TO CONSTRUCT GAS PIPELINE TO EUROPE THROUGH MOROCCO BBC Monitoring The world through its media Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images Nigeria has given the state-run Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) the greenlight to implement a deal on construction of a gas pipeline to Europe through Morocco. There have been reports of surging demand for African energy supplies from the EU that is seeking to wean itself of dependence on Russian oil and gas. "This gas pipeline is to take gas to 15 West African countries and to Morocco and through Morocco to Spain and Europe," said Timipre Sylva, the minister of state for petroleum resources. "It is only after the engineering design of the pipeline that we will know exactly (what) the cost of the pipeline will be. When that time comes, we will be talking about funding," he added. Nigeria is a member of the Opec group of major oil producers and has huge gas reserves - the largest proven reserves in Africa and the seventh largest globally. On 30 May, Tanzania transported 60,000 tonnes of coal to the Netherlands. Last month, Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi said European nations had "flooded" his country with requests to supply coal.
