South Africa’s ANC suffers a historic setback in local elections as coalition talks begin
South Africa’s ruling ANC suffers its worst-ever local election results, securing just 30% of the vote, as coalition talks loom. Meanwhile, former Ugandan military intelligence officer Herbert Matanda Mabonga accuses the army of secretly detaining and torturing opponents, following the release of videos that sparked national outrage. Finally, in Senegal, more than 200,000 free tickets are giving young people the chance to experience the games live on home soil, in a bid to inspire a new generation of athletes.
