North West unveils major infrastructure drive

North West Premier Lazarus Mokgosi has announced wide-ranging infrastructure commitments aimed at restoring dignity, accelerating service delivery and stimulating local economic growth across the province.

Delivering the State of the Province Address (SOPA) in Mahikeng on Thursday, Mokgosi outlined major investments in water, housing and road infrastructure as part of government’s broader development agenda.

R2.2 billion boost for water infrastructure

To fast-track equitable access to water, the Premier said nearly R300 million has already been spent on water and sanitation projects in Maquassi Hills, and the villages of Segakwaneng, Manamakgotheng, Pahalane, Makoshong in Moretele Local Municipality as well as Kokomeng, Khudutlou, Molelema and Longaneng in the Taung Local Municipality.

“An additional R1.9 billion has been set aside for ongoing bulk water supply projects in Madibeng, Ratlou, Mahikeng and Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipalities,” Mokgosi said.

The funding is expected to improve the reliability of supply and expand access to underserved communities.

Over R500 million committed to housing delivery

In the human settlements sector, more than R500 million has been committed for the construction of 1 148 housing units in Madibeng, Moses Kotane and Matlosana, where bulk infrastructure has also been installed in more than 1 800 sites.

“Progress is being registered and to date we have spent R30 million for the completion of 215 housing units which were abandoned by contractors, in areas such as Lethabong, Glodina, Sekhing and Kgomotso,” Mokgosi said.

The project will also extend to Tshweunyane village in Mahikeng, where a contractor was appointed in January.

The provincial government has further committed to spend 80% of the Human Settlements budget to complete all blocked housing projects in the province.

Mokgosi reaffirmed that the Smart and Mega Cities Programme remains a strategic priority, with the North West Housing Corporation leading implementation and driving delivery across the province.

Private-sector funding for the Mahikeng Student City has been secured, positioning the project to commence once outstanding land matters are resolved. Engineering designs have been finalised, rendering the project construction ready.

“The Mahikeng Student City alone is projected to unlock over 3 500 jobs, creating meaningful economic opportunities for SMMEs [small, medium, and micro enterprises], youth, women and persons with disabilities,” Mokgosi said.

In addition, R45 million has been allocated for asbestos roof removal in Madibeng, JB Marks, Mahikeng and Ditsobotla.

The province will also dispose of 288 government-built houses located on tribal land, prioritising current lawful occupants to ensure security of tenure. The properties are situated across the Bojanala, Ngaka Modiri Molema and Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati districts.

R1.6 billion for roads and transport corridors

The Premier noted that road infrastructure projects valued at more than R1.6 billion are underway in Phelindaba, Makwassie, Verdwaal and Ramokokastad to restore access, reconnect communities and stimulate local economies.

The long-awaited Nelson Mandela Drive upgrade in Mahikeng will resume, with a contractor expected on site in April.

“A contractor will be on site from April as we transition from compliance processes to visible construction,” Mokgosi said.

Over R700 million has also been allocated for rehabilitation of the Swartruggens–Magaliesberg corridor to strengthen freight and commuter transport links.

The project follows the successful completion of phase one, which included refurbishment of roads in and around Golf View suburb.

A similar road rehabilitation initiative has already been implemented in Koster in the Kgetlengrivier Local Municipality.

Mokgosi said the infrastructure rollout will serve as a catalyst for job creation, improved mobility and sustained economic development across the province. – SAnews.gov.za

Qatar Reaffirms Commitment to Role as Active International Partner

Source: Government of Qatar

Geneva, February 26, 2026

Qatar reaffirmed its commitment to playing an active international role and continuing its mediation efforts, which have contributed, through its UN-sponsored hosting of meetings of special envoys on Afghanistan and priority working groups, to strengthening international consensus on key issues by providing an inclusive platform for dialogue and coordination. The statement emphasized Qatar’s firm belief that constructive dialogue is the best path toward achieving peace.

This came in the statement delivered by Acting Charge d’Affaires of the Permanent Mission of Qatar to the United Nations in Geneva, Jawhara bint Abdulaziz Al Suwaidi, during the enhanced interactive dialogue on Afghanistan as part of the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Al Suwaidi said the occasion reflects efforts to build practical and effective dialogue between the Afghan caretaker government and the international community to meet humanitarian and development needs, contribute to stability, and create conditions that enable Afghanistan to achieve internal peace, strengthen good-neighborly relations, fully reintegrate into the international community, and fulfill its international commitments.

She noted that Afghanistan faces complex challenges that directly affect the promotion and protection of human rights, including the economic crisis, unemployment, rising humanitarian needs, recurring climate disturbances, widespread poverty, and food insecurity, in addition to the continuation of sanctions and asset freezes and the return of millions of refugees to the country.

Acting Charge d’Affaires stressed that Afghanistan is going through a delicate phase that requires a balanced collective approach toward the situation in the country, combining urgent humanitarian response with responsible political engagement in order to meet the Afghan people’s aspirations for security, stability and development.

Qatar Reiterates Its Firm Stance, Unwavering Support for Unity, Territorial Integrity of Sudan

Source: Government of Qatar

Geneva, February 26, 2026

The State of Qatar reiterated its firm and supportive stance on the unity and territorial integrity of Sudan, and the right of its fraternal people to live in dignity, security and stability, and rejected any form of interference in its internal affairs, voicing deep concern over the continuation of the war and the accompanying crimes and grave human rights violations, which have led to the loss of thousands of Sudanese lives and property and the displacement of millions of them, in addition to the unprecedented destruction of infrastructure.

This came in a statement by the State of Qatar, delivered by Second Secretary at the Permanent Delegation of the State of Qatar to the United Nations Office in Geneva Sheikh Sultan bin Khalid Al-Thani, during his participation in the enhanced interactive dialogue on Sudan, within the framework of the 61st session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

He said that the fraternal Sudanese people can no longer bear to wait any longer for a solution, and that urgent action is necessary to put an end to this war. There is no way to do this except by conducting a comprehensive and rational dialogue to reach an agreement that restores security and stability to Sudan and spares it further destruction and division.

He emphasized that the State of Qatar, since the beginning of the crisis, has been keen to provide all forms of support and humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of the Sudanese people in this critical humanitarian situation. He noted that, in continuation of these efforts, on Feb. 9, a convoy of medical grants provided by the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) in cooperation with the Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) was sent to provide urgent needs of emergency and life-saving medicines, in addition to other batches to follow, with the number of beneficiaries estimated at half a million people in 12 Sudanese states.

He urged the international community to redouble its efforts and provide more support to the Sudanese, stressing the importance of facilitating unhindered access for humanitarian aid to those affected.

South Africa: President Ramaphosa institutes naval exercise probe and appoints panel to investigate

Source: APO – Report:

.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has instituted the probe related to the Exercise MOSI III Will of Peace (“the exercise”) and has appointed an investigative panel to be led by Justice B.M. Ngoepe as the Chairperson of the panel. Justice Ngoepe will be assisted by Justice K. Satchwell, Justice M.M. Leeuw and R. Adm (JG) P.T. Duze. The Panel will report directly to the President.

The instituting of the panel relates to the failure to heed the instruction by the President that the navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran must no longer participate in the Chinese-led Exercise Will of Peace 2026 that took place in South African waters. 

The relocation of the inquiry from the Ministry of Defence and Military Veterans to the Presidency is to ensure an independent and timeous probe. The President  is, in terms of section 202(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, the Commander-in-Chief of the South African National Defence Force. 

The Panel will investigate and make recommendations in relation to the circumstances surrounding the exercise, the factors that may have contributed to the failure to observe the President’s order, person or person’s responsible and the consequences to follow. 

The Panel will have the power to summon any member of the defence force and/or public service it needs, and to request for all documents, including classified documents, to fulfil its mandate. 

President Ramaphosa has directed that the Panel must finish its work and report to the President within one (1) calendar month of its establishment. 

The President may, on compelling cause shown, extend the period of the Panel’s proceedings. Due to national security considerations the work of the Panel will be confidential.

President Ramaphosa may on the recommendation of the Panel and the Minister decide to publicise or not to publicise all or any portion of the outcomes of the Panel’s investigation.

Southern Africa faces acute surge in cholera due to floods, displacement

Source: APO – Report:

.

Cholera cases in Southern Africa region have risen by over seven times in the first six weeks of 2026 compared with the same period the year before due to severe flooding triggered by cyclones, infrastructure damage and inadequate water and sanitation among displaced populations, an analysis by World Health Organization (WHO) shows.

A total of 4320 cases and 56 deaths were reported between 1 January and 15 February 2026 in five Southern African countries, up from 586 cases and 11 deaths in the same period in 2025. The increase contrasts with a general decline in cases across the continent, which reported a drop of 47% and 59% respectively compared with 2025 and 2024.

A total of 13 countries in the African region are currently reporting cholera outbreaks. In Southern Africa, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe are reporting cases. Since 2023, Southern Africa has been the dominant cholera hotspot in the continent, with major outbreaks during the 2023—2024 cyclone season. So far this year, Mozambique accounts for 90% of cholera cases in Southern Africa. The country has experienced intense flooding which has affected more than 700 000 people.

Southern Africa is experiencing an active cyclone season which usually runs from January to April. Above-average rains continue in cyclone-prone areas. Twenty-seven high-risk zones have been identified in five countries, with vulnerabilities including poor water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure, as well as recurrent cholera outbreaks.

“The sharp rise in cholera cases in Southern Africa is a clear reminder of how climate-related shocks are intensifying public health risks,” said Dr Marie Roseline Darnycka Belizaire, Emergencies Director at the WHO Regional Office for Africa. “We’re working closely with national authorities to provide emergency health assistance while strengthening preparedness and resilience of our health systems to better protect communities from the growing impact of climate-linked shocks.”

According to the WHO analysis, Southern Africa faces a critical period between March and August, with a projected 12 000 to 22 000 additional cholera cases under the most probable scenarios. Multiple factors are contributing to the cholera outbreaks in Southern Africa: tropical cyclones; flooding that has affected Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia; conflict and population displacement; and inadequate urban water supply systems.

WHO and partners are supporting the ongoing emergency response, including delivering cholera and other essential health supplies, strengthening health response coordination and improving disease surveillance and prevention measures.  

A rapid scale-up of public health measures, including cholera vaccination, disease surveillance and improvement of water and sanitation services is crucial to protect the health of populations and avert a deterioration of the situation. Most people with cholera have mild or moderate diarrhoea and can be treated with oral rehydration solution (ORS). However, the disease can progress rapidly, so starting treatment quickly is vital to save lives. Patients with severe disease need intravenous fluids, ORS and antibiotics.

Cholera is a global public health threat and indicates inequity and lack of social and economic development. Access to safe water, basic sanitation and hygiene is essential to prevent cholera and other waterborne diseases.

Tanzania Strengthens Water Safety Capacity in Morogoro

Source: APO – Report:

.

The Ministry of Health, through the Directorate of Preventive Services and the Environmental Health and Sanitation Section, has successfully strengthened Tanzania’s ability to detect and prevent waterborne health threats at community level and designated Points of Entry (PoEs). 

Contaminated water can silently fuel outbreaks, disrupt trade, and put thousands of lives at risk. In Morogoro, 37 frontline Environmental Health Officers are now better equipped to prevent and control those threats. 

The training, held at the Edema Conference Centre in Morogoro Municipal Council, the three day training brought together 37 Environmental Health Officers from 6regions and 28 POEs from Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. 

The initiative addressed critical gaps identified in Tanzania’s Joint External Evaluation (2024), in practical skills among Environmental Health Officers in water testing and risk assessment. Through hands-on sessions, participants were trained in water sampling, testing, and interpretation using DelAgua water testing kits. The program supports the National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) and reinforces Tanzania’s compliance with International Health Regulations (2005) as amended in 2014, 2022 and 2024. 

A Ministry of Health representative noted: “Thetraining of Environment Health Officers from both Mainland and Zanzibar in water quality monitoring will enable the country to effectively conduct water quality surveillance at points of entry. This capacity is essential for designated points of entry and newly authorized ports to carry out ship inspections and issue sanitation certificates, thereby strengthening our national public health security.” 

A representative from the World Health Organization added: 

“Safe water is a cornerstone of health security. By equipping frontline officers with the right tools and skills, Tanzania is investing in prevention and protecting communities, safeguarding travelers, and strengthening national resilience.” 

The training combined practical demonstrations, group discussions, and drills simulations, culminating in an evaluation to document lessons learned and next steps. Trained officers will now conduct routine water inspections more effectively in high-risk councils and Points of Entry, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases such as cholera and enhancing public health protection. 

Communities, travellers, PoE staff, and surrounding areas will benefit from this improved capacity, with reduced risks of waterborne diseases which include cholera and stronger public health protection. Ministry of Health in collaboration with WHO remains committed to strengthening frontline capacity and ensuring safe drinking water for all Tanzanians.
