The South African Police Service (SAPS) in Tshwane have arrested 251 wanted suspects during a large-scale, zero-tolerance crime operation on Saturday.

The operation was conducted together with the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department, the Department of Home Affairs, the Department of Community Safety, the Department of Correctional Services and members of the local Community Policing Forum.

The operation was coordinated and executed in the Garsfontein and Boschkop policing precincts under the command of the District Commissioner of Tshwane, Major-General Samuel Thine.

“Detectives spearheaded the initiative with the tracing and arrest of 251 wanted suspects linked to various criminal offences including murder, attempted murder, armed robbery and rape.

“During [Saturday] evening, two operational teams, supported by a roadblock component, were deployed to patrol and maintain a strong police presence on the streets. This led to the detention of 42 undocumented foreign nationals, who were handed over to immigration authorities for further processing and deportation,” the police said.

In total, 608 persons and 242 vehicles were searched during the operation.

Police further conducted patrols at 16 identified hotspots and inspected 11 liquor outlets for compliance with the Liquor Act. 

“Three outlets were closed due to non-compliance, and 110 520 ml of liquor were confiscated. In addition, nine individuals were fined for public drinking, and one suspect was arrested for possession and dealing in drugs after 49 ziplock bags of dagga and an undisclosed amount of cash were found in his possession.

“Detectives continued their tracing efforts and successfully arrested several additional wanted persons, including one for fraud, two for assault, one for malicious damage to property and one for theft,” the police said.

Traffic officials also played an active role, issuing six Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) infringement notices to the value of R4 000.

Thine thanked all participating departments and stakeholders for their continued collaboration and dedication in ensuring the safety and security of Tshwane residents. – SAnews.gov.za

Empowering Ghana’s Youth for a Sustainable Future in Livestock and Fisheries

Source: APO

Over 50 young agripreneurs, farmers, and stakeholders gathered in Ho for a two-day Multi-Stakeholder Youth Dialogue on Sustainable Livestock and Fisheries Development, jointly organized by FAO in Ghana and the World Food Forum Ghana Chapter. The event, held at the Regional Coordinating Council Conference Hall, aimed to strengthen youth participation in livestock and fisheries value chains through farm onsite training, policy engagement, and networking.

The forum combined technical masterclasses, policy discussions, and a field visit to promote youth-led innovation and sustainable practices. Participants explored opportunities under Ghana’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Act 2025 and the Fisheries Act 1146, focusing on how these reforms can empower young entrepreneurs and ensure sustainable production systems.

Opening the event, a representative of the Volta Regional Minister, Mr. Yanick Agboado in his address, emphasized the importance of youth engagement for the region’s economic transformation.

“The future of agriculture in Ghana depends on the creativity and resilience of our young people,” he said. “By equipping them with the right skills and linking them to policy and market opportunities, we are building the foundation for a more sustainable and inclusive food system.”

The dialogue featured interactive sessions on value addition, access to finance, business management, and green innovation, alongside exhibitions of locally processed livestock and fish products.

“Empowering young people to participate meaningfully in agrifood systems is central to FAO’s mission,” he noted. “This dialogue reflects our collective determination to create better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life for all.” Said FAO Representative to Ghana Ms Priya Gujadhur in an address read on her behalf by Ms Abigail Kanyi.

She reaffirmed FAO’s commitment to supporting youth-driven solutions for sustainable food systems.

The event concluded with a renewed call for collaboration among government, youth, and development partners to ensure that Ghana’s livestock and fisheries sectors remain engines of innovation, resilience, and opportunity for the next generation.

President Ramaphosa to undertake a State Visit to Switzerland

Source: APO


.

At the invitation of Her Excellency President Karin Keller-Sutter of the Swiss Confederation, His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa will undertake a State Visit from 29-30 October 2025 to Switzerland, in the capital city of Bern.

The visit will serve to strengthen political, economic and social ties to advance mutually beneficial cooperation in support of inclusive growth and development in areas of trade and investment, skills development and science and innovation.

A key focus of the visit will also be advancement of a youth cooperation framework aimed at promoting training and capacity building to equip young people with the skills required in the modern economy.

South Africa is Switzerland’s key partner in science, research and technology on the African continent. Switzerland’s 2022 accession to the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) deepened collaboration in space and radio astronomy, underscoring a shared commitment to global scientific advancement.

The relationship between the two countries is long-standing, marked by strong economic ties, constructive political dialogue, and collaboration in multilateral forums.

The bilateral relations are managed through the High-Level Consultations at the level of Deputy Foreign Ministers. These consultations include several working groups on Foreign Policy Working Group; Human Rights Working Group; Joint Economic Committee; Economic Development Cooperation and Science, Technology and Education.

To date, there are 22 bilateral agreements between both countries. The most notable include agreements on Bilateral Air Services, Double Taxation, Development Cooperation, Science and Technology, and a Visa Agreement.

Switzerland is also a host to multiple international organisations, including the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which has played an important role in South Africa’s history.

Switzerland remains one of South Africa’s key European trading partners. Total trade volume amounted to R18.2 billion in 2024 (Exports R5.7 billion and Imports R12.5 billion – SARS), which places Switzerland as the 30th largest export market for South Africa and Switzerland as the 35th largest source of imports. However, Swiss statistics include South Africa’s gold exports and these show that total trade had reached R159.5 billion (Exports R85.4 billion and Imports R74.1 billion).  This has positioned Switzerland as South Africa’s sixth largest trading partner.

South Africa’s primary exports to Switzerland include precious metals and stones-particularly gold, machinery and agricultural products such as wine, fruit and nuts as well as base metals.  While major imports comprise pharmaceutical products, machinery, and medical equipment.

The President will be accompanied by Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Mr Ronald Lamola; Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Professor Blade Nzimande; Minister of Higher Education and Training, Mr Buti Manamela, and Deputy Minister of Trade, Industry and Cooperation, Mr Zuko Godlimpi.

Interested media representative wishing to cover the State Visit should complete the registration form on https://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/en/home/etc/statevisit-sa.html by 27 October 2025 at 16h00pm (SAST).

SA becomes first African country to register groundbreaking anti-HIV injection lenacapavir

Source: Government of South Africa

The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) has announced the registration of lenacapavir, making South Africa the first country on the continent to approve the groundbreaking twice-a-year anti-HIV injection.

In March 2025, Gilead, a biopharmaceutical company based in the United States, applied to SAHPRA, the local drug regulatory authority. 

Two weeks ago, Health Minister, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, announced that South Africa plans to launch lenacapavir, a groundbreaking long-acting HIV prevention method, as early as March 2026. 

The Minister was speaking at the national roundtable on lenacapavir access and sustainability in South Africa. 

The South African National AIDS Council (SANAC) and the Department of Health held a multi-stakeholder roundtable session to discuss the country’s readiness to implement lenacapavir.

Lenacapavir is a revolutionary long-acting injectable drug that offers six months of protection with just two annual doses.

At a national roundtable meeting, Motsoaledi highlighted the drug’s potential to address critical gaps in current HIV prevention methods.

Meanwhile, SAHPRA stated that the review process was done in collaboration with the European Medicines for All Procedure. 

“This procedure enables the European Medicines Agency, together with the participating regulatory authorities, to provide scientific opinions on high-priority medicines, such as lenacapavir, intended for markets outside the European Union.

“The benefits of this pathway are to strengthen regulatory systems and accelerate access to essential medicines,” the watchdog explained.

This product, developed to prevent new HIV infections, is a six-monthly injection. 

There is an initiation dose of a subcutaneous injection with tablets taken on days one and two. 

“It is used to reduce the risk of HIV in adults and adolescents who weigh at least 35 kg, are HIV negative, and are at risk of getting HIV,” SAHPRA said.

According to the SAHPRA, lenacapavir for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) should always be used in combination with safer sex practices, such as using condoms, to reduce the risk of getting other sexually transmitted infections.

“The registration of lenacapavir is a game-changer, given the high prevalence rate of HIV in South Africa. This product is the most effective HIV prevention measure thus far,” said SAHPRA CEO, Boitumelo Semete-Makokotlela. 

Earlier this month, Motsoaledi announced that government plans to integrate lenacapavir into domestic financing mechanisms, aiming for routine funding after two years.

He stated that Gilead and six pharmaceutical companies, including one in Egypt, will produce the jab for US$40 per person per year, which is a significant reduction from US$28 000, reducing costs by 700 times.

In addition, Motsoaledi stated that pharmaceutical companies like Hetero and partnerships with the Gates Foundation will produce generic versions, while South Africa actively pursues local manufacturing capabilities.

SAHPRA is tasked with monitoring, evaluating, investigating, inspecting and registering all health products. 

This includes clinical trials, complementary medicines, medical devices and in-vitro diagnostics and has also added the responsibility of overseeing radiation control in South Africa. – SAnews.gov.za

Elle transforme des vies et les soins chirurgicaux : la première femme chirurgienne pédiatrique de Mercy Ships au service des enfants d’Afrique

Source: Africa Press Organisation – French

En tant que première femme chirurgienne pédiatrique africaine à se porter bénévole auprès de Mercy Ships (www.MercyShips.org), le Dr Justina Seyi-Olajide brise les barrières et entre dans l’histoire. Non seulement elle réalise des opérations chirurgicales qui transforment des vies, mais elle questionne également l’état des soins chirurgicaux en Afrique de l’Ouest.

Chirurgienne pédiatrique audacieuse et brillante originaire du Nigeria, le Dr Seyi-Olajide apporte plus de 13 ans d’expérience à l’hôpital du Global Mercy™, le plus grand navire-hôpital civil au monde. Travaillant aux côtés de l’équipage en Sierra Leone, un pays qui ne compte qu’un seul chirurgien pédiatrique pour toute sa population (https://apo-opa.co/47mPg6r), elle était déterminée à apporter sa pierre à l’édifice pour combler l’énorme fossé en matière d’accès aux soins chirurgicaux.

Formée au Nigeria, elle a obtenu son diplôme de médecine à l’université Ahmadu Bello et a suivi une formation en chirurgie à l’hôpital universitaire de Lagos. Membre du Collège des chirurgiens d’Afrique de l’Ouest (WACS / West African College of Surgeons) et du Collège américain des chirurgiens (ACS / American College of Surgeons), elle poursuit actuellement un doctorat et une spécialisation à Montréal, preuve que son engagement envers l’excellence ne connaît pas de frontières.

« Le fait de venir d’un pays à faible ou moyen revenu n’est pas une raison pour rester en marge », déclare le Dr Seyji-Olajide. « Je dois faire partie du projet. Je veux participer au changement en cours. » 

En tant que chirurgienne en exercice au Nigeria, elle est pleinement consciente du besoin désespéré de soins chirurgicaux en Afrique de l’Ouest. Et en tant que spécialiste en pédiatrie, elle sait quelles vies elle est appelée à transformer personnellement.

« Environ 40 à 45 % de la population de la plupart des pays d’Afrique subsaharienne est composée d’enfants de moins de 15 ans », souligne-t-elle.

Les journées du Dr Seyi-Olajide à bord du Global Mercy sont bien remplies, depuis les visites et les opérations tôt le matin jusqu’aux contrôles tard dans la nuit des patients en convalescence. Elle décrit cette expérience très exigeante comme profondément gratifiante et unique en son genre.

« Il ne s’agit pas seulement de soigner le patient », explique-t-elle. « Il s’agit de prendre soin de la personne dans son ensemble. C’est ce qui se passe ici. »

Animée par sa passion de transformer concrètement la vie des enfants qu’elle aime, le Dr Seyi-Olajide explique que c’est l’impact potentiel de la chirurgie pédiatrique qui l’a attirée vers cette spécialisation.
« Lorsqu’un enfant arrive pour une opération, nous faisons tout notre possible, et lorsque cet enfant repart en bonne santé, la joie sur le visage de ses parents en dit long », témoigne-t-elle avec un immense sourire. 

Au-delà de la salle d’opération, son influence s’étend à la recherche chirurgicale mondiale. Elle a récemment dirigé une analye globale des méthodes de dépistage des anomalies congénitales dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire (PRFI) (https://apo-opa.co/4oFr9Hj), qui a permis d’identifier des solutions pratiques pour améliorer le diagnostic et le traitement précoces.

En combinant l’excellence clinique, le leadership académique et une profonde bienveillance pour les populations défavorisées, le Dr Seyi-Olajide contribue chaque jour à redessiner l’avenir de la chirurgie pédiatrique en Afrique. Et, par conséquent, la vie des enfants africains.

Source: APO


.

The 4th International Conference on Public Health in Africa (CPHIA 2025) closed on 25 October with the launch of The Durban Promise. This outcome document synthesises conference recommendations to define Africa’s roadmap toward self-reliance, sustainability, and leadership in global health. The document will inform upcoming policy discussions, including the G20 meeting in South Africa, aimed at accelerating Africa’s progress on health equity, solidarity, and universal health coverage. 

The Durban Promise includes seven continental commitments:

  1. Mobilise Africa’s Wealth and Innovation for Health Sovereignty
  2. Strengthen Governance and Accountability
  3. Reinvest in PHC and Community Systems
  4. Foster Regional Solidarity and Market Efficiency
  5. Build Integrated, Climate-Resilient and Pandemic-Ready One Health Systems
  6. Reframe Health as a Strategic Investment
  7. Transform This Moment into Africa’s Leadership Era

“This moment enables South Africa to carry the voice of the continent into the G20 deliberations—championing fair global health financing, resilient systems, and recognition of Africa as a strategic contributor, not a passive recipient,” said Professor Olive Shisana, CPHIA 2025 Co-chair, in her remarks during the closing ceremony.

CPHIA 2025 brought together nearly 20,000 participants from over 72 countries — both online and in Durban —from across governments, academia, and civil society. Held under the theme “Moving Toward Self-Reliance to Achieve Universal Health Coverage and Health Security,” the conference was hosted by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), and co-organised with the Government of South Africa and AfricaBio’s BIO Africa Convention. 

CPHIA 2025 featured three high-level plenary sessions, 20 abstract-driven sessions, eight special sessions and 48 side events from partners, the Africa CDC and AfricaBio. There were also 235 virtual posters and 90 in-person abstract presentations, along with 24 exhibition booths demonstrating cutting-edge technologies, solutions, and services. 

“In all the conversations that came through, we got to hear that Africa is ready to meet the moment. Africa’s season, and Africa’s moment to lead, is now,” said Thabani Maphosa, Chief Country Delivery Officer at Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

CPHIA 2025’s closing ceremony also featured three awards:

  • Best Young Investigator for bringing fresh thinking, ingenuity, and passion to transform health and science was given to two individuals who presented their research at the conference:
    • Dr.  Noluxabiso Mangwana, National Institute for Communicable Diseases, South Africa
    • Ms. Diana Imoli, Kenya Medical Research Institute
  • Best Oral Abstract for the most compelling presentation:
  • Eric Angula, Casual Foundry
  • Prof Olive Shisana, co-chair of the CPHIA 2025 Scientific Programme Committee and President of Evidence Based Solutions
  • Distinguished Scientist for an individual who has made remarkable contributions to research and public health:

In reflecting on the conference outcomes and the awards presented at the closing ceremony, H.E. Dr. Jean Kaseya said: ‘‘Together, we decided to affirm our collective ambition to accelerate Africa’s journey towards sovereignty. It has been inspiring to hear directly from all of you, and especially from young people, about the exceptional work being done to support public health and to ensure strong health systems across Africa.’

Dr. Boitumelo Semete-Makokotlela, Chair of Bio Africa Convention, commented on what the conference accomplished this year, and the role of future CPHIA convenings. “What we saw over the last three days was groundbreaking research tackling very critical health issues. We engaged in some exciting and engaging panel discussions and had some dynamic exhibitions showcasing Africa’s ingenuity. This conference has demonstrated the power of collaboration.”

In closing the ceremony, H.E. Dr. Jean Kaseya announced that the fifth edition of CPHIA would take place in November 2026 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

A UN Town Hall in Tanzania marked the conclusion of a three-day workshop on Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), bringing together 21 UN PSEA Focal Points for capacity building and knowledge exchange.

The session was graced by Mr. Christian Saunders, UN Under-Secretary-General and Special Coordinator for improving the UN response on PSEA, alongside the UN Resident Coordinator, who both reaffirmed the UN’s zero-tolerance policy and called for strengthened prevention, accountability, and survivor-centred responses across all operations.

The workshop, organized by the Resident Coordinator’s Office with support from WHO, WFP, and IOM—aimed to strengthen inter-agency coordination and build institutional capacity to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation and abuse. WHO played a key role in providing technical support and guidance to ensure that PSEA measures are effectively integrated into health programmes and community engagement efforts.

The Town Hall reaffirmed the UN’s shared commitment to fostering dignity, respect, and trust within the workplace and in engagement with communities, ensuring that every individual is protected from sexual exploitation and abuse.
