Thembisile Majola served just 20 months of her three-year contract as the director-general of the State Security Agency (SSA). Before taking over in March 2022, the agency had been without a permanent head since Arthur Fraser's departure in 2018. Announcing Majol's appointment last year, President Cyril Ramaphosa said it was "an important part of government's work to stabilise the country's intelligence services". In a statement announcing Majola's resignation on Wednesday, the parties had separated "by mutual consent with the president", effective from 30 November 2023. "The president has expressed his appreciation to ambassador Majola for her contribution to the reform and rebuilding of the State Security Agency. President Ramaphosa wishes ambassador Majola well in all her future endeavours," the statement said. When announcing Majola's appointment, Ramaphosa said: "Her appointment is expected to give greater impetus to the implementation of the report of the SSA high-level review panel and the recommendations of the expert panel into the July 2021 unrest." The panel found that: "The police failed to stop the rioting and looting in July 2021. The reasons for this failure are complex and sometimes not of their making. In some instances, they did not get any intelligence upon which to plan operations." In September, News24 reported that, more than two years after violent unrest swept through KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng in the aftermath of former president Jacob Zuma's incarceration for contempt of court, the Hawks had not secured a single conviction. Majola resigned as deputy minister of energy in 2018 citing family reasons. Before serving in the executive, she held ambassadorships in Senegal, Mauritania, Cape Verde, Gambia and Guinea Bissau. Following her appointment to the SSA, News24 reported that government insiders said Majola had long been on Ramaphosa's radar due to the respect she commanded in security circles as a result of her history serving the African National Congress in exile. Her resignation is a blow to an institution that has been in disarray since Zuma's presidency. Last year, News24 reported that organised criminal networks captured and paralysed the SSA by setting up parallel intelligence structures within the agency and looting upwards of R1.5-billion between 2008 and 2018 to serve Zuma's political interests.

Though Heidi is a highly sought-after interior designer now, she didn't predict she'd end up in the design world. After graduating with a masters in international public health, she spent her early career working at a medical clinic in the Gambia. But when she returned to the U.S. to continue working, she was disappointed by how administrative many of the stateside roles were and began a quest to find a new career. She tried a variety of career paths including bartending, acupuncture school, and teaching scuba, but she still couldn't find anything that felt right to her. That is, until she began blogging about design. Through her blog, Heidi landed her first job at a design firm, and eventually, she set out to create a firm of her own.

Hsu says a total of 56,600 14-literbags were cleared from river bank and coastal areas during the survey.

Modeled after the Peace Corps, CorpsAfrica empowers African youth to work with local communities, emphasizing local ownership, collaboration, and participatory development. CorpsAfrica founder comments, “We're creating a second Peace Corps, by and for Africans”. The organization aims to create a lasting impact by addressing community needs through a transformative and scalable model. Volunteers work for one year in high-poverty villages to direct scarce NGO resources to communities that need them. Operating in nine African countries, including Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, and Uganda, CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa's pressing challenges: creating opportunities for youth and helping rural communities overcome poverty.  Mvemba is joined by Liz Fanning, Founder and CEO of CorpsAfrica, to discuss the ideas, challenges, and successes of CorpsAfrica as well as the ways African youth are engaging with the organization.

Continúa el goteo de embarcaciones a la isla de El Hierro. Los migrantes llegan exhaustos, deshidratados, con hipotermia y el cuerpo entumecido después de una larga travesía. La mayoría proceden de Gambia y Senegal. El muelle de La Restinga pasa de la calma a la actividad frenética en segundos cuando se detecta una llegada. Cruz Roja ha tenido que reforzar su operativo con voluntarios de otras islas para poder atender a todos.Entre ellos está Sana, un joven de Guinea-Bissau que llegó hace dos años en cayuco y ha decidido quedarse a vivir en la isla, donde trabaja en el campo. "Hay veces que veo a un compañero que conocí en Senegal", afirma. Ayuda a traducir y a guiar a los recién llegados. Sabe muy bien lo duro que es, por lo que trata de ayudar en todo lo que puede.Informa Minerva Oso, enviada especial a El Hierro.Escuchar audio
