South Africa awaits Zuma graft decision due next month.

South African state prosecutors on Monday said they would next month release their decision on whether or not to prosecute former president Jacob Zuma for corruption. Zuma faces the risk of jail over 18 criminal charges linked to 783 payments totalling four million rands ($345,000) that he allegedly received in connection with arms deals before he became president. “A decision has been made,” but the announcement will be pronounced after 14 days, Luvuyo Mfaku, spokesman for the National Prosecutions Authority (NPA), told AFP. After the two weeks, “the national director will inform the former president in writing and the parties that are involved” before going public, he said. The charges were first brought against Zuma in 2005 but dropped by prosecutors in 2009 — clearing the way for him to become president — before their reinstatement two years ago. In 2016, the High Court in Pretoria ordered that the charges be reinstated, but Zuma fought the case until losing in

No sign Leicester ‘explosion’ linked to terror, says police.

British police said Sunday there was no indication a reported explosion and building collapse that injured at least six people in Leicester, a central English city, was linked to terrorism. “The cause of the explosion will be the subject of a joint investigation by the police and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service,” local police said in a statement. “We would ask that the media and public do not speculate about the circumstances surrounding the incident, but at this stage there is no indication this is terrorist related.” The apparent explosion occurred Sunday evening on a stretch of road containing commercial and residential properties close to the city centre. The electricity supply to a number of properties in the area was cut while emergency services deal with the incident, police said. The Fire and Rescue Service said it received calls shortly after 7:00 pm (1900 GMT) from the public reporting an explosion and a building fire. It immedi

Microsoft data warrant case in top US court has global implications.

Microsoft faces off with the US government before the Supreme Court Tuesday over a warrant for data stored abroad that has important ramifications for law enforcement in the age of global computing. The case, which dates back to 2013, involves a US warrant ordering Microsoft to turn over the contents of an email account used by a suspected drug trafficker, whose data is stored in a cloud computing center in Ireland. It has been watched closely because of its implications for privacy and surveillance in the digital age, and specifically how law enforcement can reach across borders to obtain digital evidence that may be scattered across the globe. Microsoft has maintained that US courts lack jurisdiction over the data stored in Ireland. The US tech giant, backed by many firms in the sector and civil liberties groups, argues the case is critical in showing that American authorities cannot simply request such data via a warrant without going through the process set out

UK Labour pressures PM with Brexit customs union call.

British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn on Monday called for a new customs union with the European Union after Brexit in a policy shift that could force Prime Minister Theresa May to change course. Just days before a keynote speech by May on her desired future trading relationship with the European Union, the Labour leader drew a clear line between his policy and that of the government. “Labour would seek to negotiate a new comprehensive UK-EU customs union to ensure that there are no tariffs with Europe and to help avoid any need whatsoever for a hard border in Northern Ireland,” Corbyn told an audience in Coventry, central England. Britain is currently part of the EU’s customs union, which has a common external tariff on imports, allowing goods to move freely inside the area. But it would leave after Brexit in March 2019. Citing the example of integrated supply chains in the car industry, Corbyn said it “makes no sense” for Britain to turn its back on “tariff-fre

The decision to list on the GSE was reached as a condition for the acquisition of a 15-year $67m 4G license in 2015. Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, Ebenezer Asante said: “It’s very clear from the license that 35 per cent of MTN should be moved into Ghanaian hands and since we required the license, we have engaged the regulators in the NCA, as well as the Central Bank and also with the Se
