Tiger Woods has vowed to improve his game for next month's US Open - and hinted he will play more regularly - after a disappointing second round 77 saw him miss the cut at the US PGA Championship by eight shots. Looking ahead to the US Open on June 13, Woods said: "My game will get better. Unfortunately, I just haven't played a whole lot of tournaments, and not a whole lot of tournaments on my schedule either. His troubles didn't end there; just two holes later, Woods suffered another triple bogey, resulting in a devastating loss of seven shots over three holes. Reflecting on his performance, Woods lamented: "I got off to a bad start and the rough grabbed me at 2.

President William Ruto and former primier Raila Odinga at Yoweri Museveni's Kisozi farm in Uganda, February 2024. [PCS]The Kenya Kwanza leadership should not use its support for Raila Odinga's bid for the coveted chairmanship of the African Union Commission (AUC) to gag him. The two leaders' demand that Raila must remain loyal to President Ruto if he wanted the Head of State to continue supporting his AUC chairmanship bid, was unacceptable. Raila's bid is not and should not be pegged on his loyalty to the President, but on his own qualifications to serve in that office. Fortunately, the President has not attached any conditions, including total loyalty as advocated by Ichung'wah and Cheruiyot, to his support for Raila.

Albertina says she saw 50 helicopters fly over the roof of her house before a boat finally rescued her family. Many people are still stranded, or in some cases are choosing not to leave because they are afraid their flooded homes will be robbed. We join the military firefighters in one helicopter rescue operation to pick up an 89-year-old woman who has had a stroke and take her to a hospital. “With people dying in the waters, dogs dying, horses dying, everyone dying in the water - that’s what we didn’t want. On the ground, volunteers from around the country - not just firefighters, military, police and doctors - try by any means to continue delivering aid to those trapped in flooded homes.

South Africa's new uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party is aiming to win a parliamentary majority in a May 29 election so that it can implement reforms without resistance from opponents, former President Jacob Zuma said on Saturday. An Ipsos opinion poll published in April showed MK would win 8.4% of the vote, far short of the party's 66% objective. Speaking in Zulu at the Orlando Stadium in South Africa's biggest township Soweto, Zuma promised to provide free education for disadvantaged children, create jobs and fight corruption. Zuma told the crowd he had no choice but to stay in politics because other elected officials did not care about improving people's lives. Last week, South Africa's top court heard legal arguments on whether the ex-president can run for parliament.

As such, the Limuru III forum reflected the effects and contradictions of the unfinished Uhuru Succession in Mount Kenya. Moreover, Limuru III has moved the unfinished Uhuru-Ruto battle for the leadership of Mount Kenya to a new dangerous level. Limuru has divided Mount Kenya and radicalised Mount Kenya politics. After Limuru III, the coalitions for the 2027 elections and the battle-lines are clearly marked. After Limuru, Mount Kenya needs serious grassroots movement to forge unity and build consensus ahead of Limuru IV.

And what was the essence of the Ukrainian President’s peace plan (and the response to it from the Russians)? So, what is the historical framework within which the war between Ukraine and Russia, can be best understood? Just as the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated into its constituent nationalities at the end of World War I, so too was the USSR (the successor of the Russian Empire of the First World War) to fall apart in 1990. This ended the Cold War and led to the many nations which had previously been under the yoke of the Russian Empire/USSR escaping from Russian imperialism. And the annexing of such sovereign territory has never been acceptable to the world at large.

President Ruto and his Mozambique and Rwanda counterparts Filipe Nyusi and Paul Kagame during the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda on Friday.

He said the reforms he wishes to see would enable underserved countries to advocate for mutually beneficial outcomes, such as the allocation of additional resources for concessional loans. Ruto said Africa must prioritise value addition and stop raw material exports so as to enhance exports as a percentage of GDP.
