But there was little ‘relief’ in the ranks of South Africa’s former sole ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), that that gruesome manifestation of ‘cosmic unhappiness’ was avoided. No longer are there hordes among whom loyalty to the ANC may be relied upon, regardless of how poorly or corruptly it governs. The ANC’s much-desired 50-per cent-plus outcome gone, the former sole ruling party must now work out with which parties it can functionally operate. There would be no cooperation with the ANC, Zuma has declared, until Ramaphosa is out of the picture. Instead, the disgruntled have either given the ANC another chance – hence ANC support did not fall to sub-40 per cent, as some earlier polls had indicated was possible – or have opted for Zuma and his MK, as a radical alternative.

The world-renowned duo introduced me to a groundbreaking innovation that showcased how technology can transform our future relationship with water. This revelation fascinated me, not least, because of Kenya’s dire need for sustainable water solutions. This untapped potential offers a sustainable answer to our water woes, less vulnerable to immediate impacts of climate change compared to surface water. This is not about marketing a product, because there are indeed many ways of finding and extracting ground water. It is a call to action for all stakeholders—policymakers, community leaders, and citizens—to support and implement water solutions which integrate modern technology with traditional water management practices.

Michelle Obama and her mother Marian Robinson at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina on September 6, 2012. She married her husband, Fraser Robinson, in 1960, and the couple had two children, Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson, both of whom were also raised on the South Side. "The trappings and glamour of the White House were never a great fit for Marian Robinson," the statement from her family said. She enjoyed sneaking out of the White House to run errands, such as popping to the drug store. In the Obamas' eight years at the White House from 2009 to 2017, "the only guest she made a point of asking to meet was the Pope," her family said.

South African vote tallying enters final stages with ANC on 40%Vote tallying in this week’s South African parliamentary election entered the final stages on Saturday, with the governing African National Congress (ANC) set to fall well short of a majority for the first time in 30 years of democracy. With results in from over 97% of the more than 23,000 polling stations in Wednesday’s vote, the ANC stood at 40.11%, a precipitous drop from the 57.50% it secured at the last national election in 2019. Political parties’ share of the vote will determine the number of seats they get in the National Assembly, which then elects the next president. That could still be the ANC’s leader, President Cyril Ramaphosa, as the former liberation movement will remain the biggest party. But Ramaphosa will be badly weakened and is likely to face calls to quit from opposition parties and critics in the deeply-divided ANC.

Looking at the possibilities around restrictions to Ugandans |Talk Of The NationOn Talk of the Nation tonight we look at the impact of the latest raft of sanctions imposed by the UK and US, over corruption allegations. On Tuesday, the UK government imposed sanctions on Speaker Anita Among as well as former Karamoja Affairs Ministers Agnes Nandutu and Mary Goretti Kitutu over their involvement in the Karamoja iron sheets scandal. Later, the US added to this list, State Minister Amos Lugolobi and former Deputy Chief of Defence Forces, Lt Gen Peter Elwelu. But there are concerns that the actual impact of these sanctions extends beyond the individuals involved, to the country's economy. To help us appreciate the actual impact of these sanctions we turn to JOHN WALUGEMBE, Executive Director, Federation of SMEs.

(AP) – Live Nation is investigating a data breach at its Ticketmaster subsidiary, which dominates ticketing for live events in the United States. Live Nation, based in Beverly Hills, California, said in a regulatory filing Friday that on May 27 “a criminal threat actor’' offered to sell Ticketmaster data on the dark web. Live Nation and Ticketmaster did not immediately respond to requests for comment. In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Live Nation said it was “working to mitigate risk to our users’' and was cooperating with law enforcement officials. It said the breach was unlikely to have “a material impact on our overall business operations.’’On May 23, the U.S. Justice Department sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster, accusing them of running an illegal monopoly over live events in America.

PHOTO: SUPPLIEDDunedin teenager Isabel Sheehan, 17, is looking back on taking part in the "incredible adventure" of a 21-day Outward Bound course in December last year, and urging others to give it a go. Outward Bound provides challenging outdoor expeditions and activities to help young people develop life skills, such as resilience, self-confidence, team-work, goal-setting, leadership and environmental awareness. This group remained together throughout the course, sleeping, eating, and taking part in a broad range of outdoor activities together. "There was a real focus on developing leadership skills, working as a team, and stepping outside your comfort zone," she said.

ShinyHunters, the group claiming responsibility, says the stolen data includes names, addresses, phone numbers and partial credit card details from Ticketmaster users worldwide. The hacking group is reportedly demanding a $500,000 (£400,000) ransom payment to prevent the data from being sold to other parties. The number of customers affected by the data breach has not been confirmed by Live Nation. On Friday Santander confirmed it had data from an estimated 30m customers stolen which was being sold by the same hacking group as the Ticketmaster hackers. If the data hack is as large as claimed by ShinyHunters, the hack could be the most significant breach ever in terms of numbers and the extent of the data stolen.
