African Export-import Bank (Afreximbank) (www.Afreximbank.com) has extended a US$ 36.4-million contract financing facility to Egypt’s SAMCO-National Construction Company (SAMCO) for the construction of the Akii Bua Olympic Stadium in Uganda.

The Akii Bua Olympic Stadium, located in Lira, Uganda, is expected to host some of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) games which Uganda is co-hosting with its East African neighbours Kenya and Tanzania in a joint bid.

The US$ 36.4-million facility, granted under Afreximbank’s Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) programme, which supports African EPC companies to bid for large-scale contracts in African countries, is expected to be used to finance and support SAMCO in the design, construction and development of the stadium project and in the acquisition of essential components required for the successful execution of the project.

Mrs. Kanayo Awani, Executive Vice President, Intra-African Trade and Export Development at Afreximbank signed the facility agreement on behalf of Afreximbank during a ceremony held in Cairo on 29 October while Engineer Sameh Soliman, Chairman of SAMCO, signed for his company.

Commenting on the facility, Mrs. Awani, said that the deal reflected Afreximbank’s deep commitment to empowering local capacity in the execution of large-scale and complex infrastructure developments.

“We are pleased to support an African EPC company as part of Afreximbank’s EPC initiative, and to finance the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium, further aligning with our creative / sports strategy in one of our member countries (Uganda). Through this initiative, we aim to foster sustainable economic growth, enhance regional infrastructure and facilitate the hosting of CAF and FIFA- approved sports events that will contribute to Uganda’s social and economic advancement,” stated Mrs. Awani.

On his part, Engineer Sameh Soliman, Chairman of SAMCO, said: “We value Afreximbank’s partnership and support in this landmark project. This collaboration reinforces our strategic commitment to expanding our presence across Africa and strengthening our role in delivering impactful infrastructure solutions. We look forward to a long-term and mutually beneficial relationship with the Bank, driving growth and sustainable development across the continent.”

The development of the Akii Bua Olympic Stadium is expected to greatly promote sports in Uganda and to engender regional integration and tourism in East Africa while supporting infrastructure development. It will also strengthen the government’s sports and infrastructure agenda, enhancing the country’s capacity to host CAF- and FIFA-approved events and contributing to national pride, youth engagement and economic diversification.

The project will help consolidate SAMCO’s position as a leading African contractor capable of executing large-scale, government-backed projects across the continent. The financing facility supports SAMCO in expanding its operations across Africa.

Additionally, the project is anticipated to catalyse local economic growth by generating employment opportunities during the construction and operational phases, stimulating local supply chains and attracting international events that will enhance Uganda’s global visibility.

The 2027 AFCON games will mark the first time the continental tournament will be hosted in East Africa since 1976.

SABC journalists win gold for outstanding UN coverage

Source: Government of South Africa

The Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, has congratulated the South African Broadcasting Corporation’s (SABC) correspondent Sherwin Bryce-Pease, and videographer Aaron Berbrick for being recognised for their outstanding broadcast media coverage of the United Nations (UN). 

This accolade pertains to an interview conducted by Bryce-Pease and Berbrick with Tom Fletcher, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, before the UN General Assembly in September, focusing on crises in Gaza and other conflict zones.

In a sit-down interview with Bryce-Pease, Fletcher cautioned that the burden on humanitarian workers could be greater this year. 

He reflected on crises in Gaza, Haiti, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where millions of people are facing emergencies while global funding for humanitarian relief continues to diminish.

The SABC duo was honoured as the gold winners of the Ricardo Ortega Memorial Prize. 

This prize is named in memory of Ricardo Ortega, who was the New York correspondent for Antena 3 TV of Spain and tragically passed away while on assignment in Haiti in 2004.

Lamola stated that this prestigious award, given by the United Nations Correspondents Association (UNCA), signifies a notable recognition of journalistic excellence on a global level.

“For many years, the SABC, through the dedicated work of Mr Bryce-Pease and videographer Aaron Berbrick, has provided the South African public with insightful, accurate, and timely reporting on the deliberations and developments within the United Nations. 

“Their work plays a vital role in keeping our nation apprised of critical international affairs and the multilateral efforts that shape our world,” the Minister added. 

Bryce-Pease stated that the SABC News team in New York is thrilled by this acknowledgement and that the award validates their work and commitment.

“But also, the investment that the public broadcaster continues to make in our operations in the United States. 

“Our ethos is to deliver quality, accurate content that not only inspires but also educates and informs, as well as being driven by substance and facts. Aaron and I are proud to receive this award but are only honoured to represent SABC News on the international stage,” he added.

The winners will be honoured at the 29th annual UNCA gala on Friday, 12 December 2025, at UN Headquarters in New York.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres will be the guest of honour for the evening.

This black-tie event will be attended by UN ambassadors, high-level UN officials, Hollywood celebrities, humanitarians, representatives from corporate and cultural organisations, and media from around the world.

During the gala, UNCA will showcase a short video clip featuring only the gold award winners. – SAnews.gov.za

Friday, November 7, 2025

Seventeen undocumented foreign nationals were arrested during a high-impact workplace inspection led by Employment and Labour Deputy Minister Jomo Sibiya in the Eastern Cape, on Thursday.

The multidisciplinary operation, conducted in collaboration with the Department of Home Affairs and the South African Police Service, forms part of government’s efforts to promote safe, fair, and compliant workplaces while tightening enforcement of labour laws across sectors.

According to the Department of Employment and Labour, the blitz inspection focused on enforcing key labour legislation and assessing workplace compliance. 

One non-compliant employer was issued with a compliance order for multiple contraventions of the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA). These included:

  • Section 81 – Failure to keep prescribed records
  • Section 82 – Outstanding Return of Earnings (ROEs) for the 2024/25 financial year
  • Section 86 – Outstanding payment amounting to R31,579.40
  • Section 87 – Accrued penalties and interest

Deputy Minister Sibiya praised the collaborative effort and cooperation of employers during the operation, noting that such initiatives reflect government’s commitment to fair and lawful employment practices. 

“This initiative is a testament to what we can achieve when government departments work together in pursuit of a common goal. 

“I want to thank our partner departments for their unwavering support and commend the employers who have opened their doors and cooperated fully with our labour inspectors. Their commitment to compliance is vital in building a labour market that is both just and sustainable,” Sibiya said.

The department reaffirmed its commitment to fostering a culture of compliance, accountability, and respect for workers’ rights through sustained enforcement across all sectors of the economy. – SAnews.gov.za

The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) has expressed satisfaction with the smooth progress of the 2025 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations, currently underway across the province.

According to the department, no major disruptions have been reported since the start of the examinations, and candidates have generally shown discipline and commitment throughout the process.

“We commend the #ClassOf2025GP for their commitment and discipline and urge all candidates to continue adhering to the NSC Pledge, which promotes honesty, integrity, and respect during this critical period,” the Department said in a statement.

Learners have been strongly cautioned against bringing crib notes or cellphones into examination centres. The GDE noted that these items continue to feature prominently in examination irregularity reports, warning that any learner found in possession of them will face serious consequences including possible disqualification from future exams.

The department also raised concern over increasing absenteeism among part-time candidates, urging all registered learners to attend and write all their scheduled papers.

“Every paper counts, and we want to see every candidate complete their examinations successfully,” the statement read.

As exams continue, the department reminded learners to take care of their mental and physical well-being by getting enough rest, exercising, and maintaining healthy routines. 

Learners experiencing anxiety or stress are encouraged to seek help through available support services, including the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) at 0800 567 567 and Childline South Africa at 116.

“These services are free, confidential, and available 24 hours a day,” the department added.

Passing of matric learner from Lakeside Secondary School

The GDE has also sent condolences to the family, friends, educators, and the entire Lakeside Secondary School community following the passing of a Grade 12 girl learner. 

According to information at the department’s disposal, the learner who passed away on Monday evening this week, began vomiting while in bed. 

“When her condition rapidly deteriorated, she was immediately transported to a local medical facility, where she was unfortunately certified dead on arrival.

“The South African Police Service (SAPS) are investigating circumstances surrounding this sad incident,” the department said. 

The GDE’s Psycho-Social Support Unit, through its Institutional Support and Support (ISS) team, has been dispatched to the school to provide counselling and emotional support to learners and staff affected by this tragic incident.

“This tragedy occurs during a critical period for our matriculants, and we wish to remind learners, parents, and school communities that emotional and psychological support services are available to anyone in need during the examination period,” the department said. – SAnews.gov.za

North West businesses warned against fake labour inspectors

Source: Government of South Africa

Friday, November 7, 2025

The Department of Employment and Labour has issued a stern warning to the business community in the North West, following reports of bogus inspectors posing as officials and selling labour legislation posters to unsuspecting companies. 

In a statement, the department said the imposters are allegedly targeting companies that do not have the legislative posters displayed, they extort money from them, claiming it is for non-compliance with labour laws, and issue fines that need to be paid on the spot.

In response to the allegations, the Provincial Chief Inspector, Chris Sithole, advised that all the services of the department are provided at no cost, and that the department does not sell any labour publications, including charts, pamphlets and posters.

“The business community must be cautious and report any suspicious activities or visits. They should report to the South African Police Services or the nearby office of the department. If they are unsure about the inspectors visiting their premises, they can also verify their credentials with the Department,” Sithole said.

He cautioned companies to never deposit money into the bank account of anyone or pay cash, even if they are legitimate inspectors from the department. – SAnews.gov.za

.

The African Inclusive Markets Excellence Centre (AIMEC) successfully convened its inaugural Strategic Planning Workshop in Tunis, Tunisia, from 28 to 30 October 2025. The pivotal three-day meeting solidified the Centre’s operational framework and charted a clear roadmap for its activities, positioning it as a key driver of inclusive and sustainable economic growth in line with Agenda 2063 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

AIMEC is an initiative of the African Union Commission (AUC), hosted by Tunisia, aimed at fostering inclusive economic development across the continent. It supports AU member states in designing policies that promote equitable access to market opportunities, especially for marginalized communities.

The workshop was opened by Ambassador Dr. Youssef ElKordofani, the Executive Director of AIMEC and H.E. Mr. Samir Abid, Minister of Trade and Export Development of Tunisia. The meeting also brought together high-level stakeholders, including the AU Commissioner for Economic Development, Trade, Industry and Mining, H.E. Ms. Francisca Belobe (participated virtually), the President of the African Business Council Dr. Amany Omar Asfour, the Regional Director of GIZ for Tunisia and Libya, and representatives from regional organisations, international partners, and the African private sector.

The meeting successfully delivered on its core objectives, culminating in the adoption of AIMEC’s Strategic Framework for the period 2025–2027, featuring a detailed implementation roadmap for initial initiatives. This framework is designed around AIMEC’s four key objectives: Knowledge Leadership, Policy Innovation, Capacity Building, and Scaling Solutions.

Discussions centered on the Centre’s core mandate to foster inclusive markets and businesses, particularly in empowering women, youth, and vulnerable groups across the continent. Participants showcased best practices and successful experiences, emphasizing the need to integrate inclusive market and business projects into existing regional economic integration efforts.

The workshop concluded with assigned responsibilities and timelines for immediate next steps, including initial staffing and operational setup, ensuring the rapid commencement of the Centre’s work. The event garnered extensive national media coverage in Tunisia, underscoring its importance in advancing African cooperation and solidifying Tunisia’s role as a regional hub for continental initiatives.

Ethiopia: Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (SRCC) joins high-level panel on African-led peace and security initiatives in Addis Ababa

Source: APO


.

The Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (SRCC) and Head of the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), Ambassador El Hadji Ibrahima Diene, joined other distinguished leaders for a high-level discussion at the Africa Rising Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Thursday.

The panel, themed “Strengthening African-led Peace and Security Initiatives,” convened leaders to explore how African institutions and regional mechanisms can more effectively respond to the continent’s peace and security challenges.

In his remarks, Ambassador Diene said durable solutions must be rooted in African ownership and leadership, in line with the African Union’s vision of “African solutions to African problems”.

He emphasised the importance of deepened partnerships and sustained collaboration among African governments, regional bodies, and international partners in mobilising funding to sustain efforts to end conflicts and consolidate peace and stability.

“Funding remains critical to sustaining AUSSOM’s peace efforts in Somalia,” Ambassador Diene said, adding that locally-led solutions have lasting impact on peace efforts.

“Somali-led dialogue and reconciliation offer the best way forward, even as we continue efforts to degrade and defeat Al-Shabaab. The ongoing reflection on how Africa and the African Union can do more and better in championing African-led solutions is vital for lasting peace.”

Other panelists included Ambassador Liberata Mulamula, the African Union Special Envoy for Women, Peace and Security, and Ambassador El-Ghassim Wane, former Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General and Head of the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), who emphasised the need for enhanced collaboration among African countries to ensure peace and security.

Ambassador Mulamula highlighted the critical importance of conflict prevention, urging African countries to prioritise early dialogue and proactive engagement rather than waiting for crises to escalate.

“My call is that we need to invest more in conflict prevention. Prevention works if you invest in prevention measures. Use what is existing and make it work,” said Ambassador Mulamula, who also underscored the significant and growing roles women and youth continue to play in peace processes across the continent, calling for their full inclusion as essential actors in peacebuilding. “Peacekeeping works best when politically grounded, locally owned and contextually adapted.”

Ambassador Diene later followed proceedings of an expert session that further examined ongoing African peace initiatives, including how the AU and regional organisations can strengthen their coordination in conflict resolution and post-conflict recovery.

The Africa Rising Conference is convened by Chatham House and its partner Amani Africa, with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The annual gathering provides a platform for dialogue among African and global leaders on the continent’s peace, governance, and development agenda.

It also noted the readiness of several financial organizations to fund the Centre’s programs and support its activities, which will contribute to enhancing economic integration among African nations in service of the continent’s development goals.
