African is for Africans. But according to South Africans, South Africa is for South Africans and Europeans. Apparently here, you’re not allowed to be here and work if you are Congolese but it’s ok to be European and work here. This place is so backwards.
Facing a severe drought in 2019, priests in India got 2 frogs married to gain favor from the God of Rains. Two months later the priests were forced to divorce the frogs to provide relief from the relentless rain that destroyed more than 9000 houses.

This is Elijah, 26, and his brother Ernest, 22. The duo has been in detention since 3 October 2024 when the Zambia Police Service arrested them for alleged defamation of the President of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema.
Their crime? Producing a short video on TikTok in which they asked @HHichilema to step down for perceived failure to run the country. Arrested in Kalulushi on the Copperbelt, Ernest and Elijah were transported to Lusaka, about 370 kilometres away, where they have neither relatives nor friends.
Under Zambian law, the police are required to charge suspects with a known offence and either release them on bond or present them before court within 48 hours following their arrest. Elijah and Ernest, detained at Ridgeway Police Station, are yet to be charged or taken to court, almost two months after they were arrested.
