Breaking News 🚨

A Zande male local artist from the Tombura Town Council was caught stealing this afternoon.

Reports states that he entered someone's house to steal but after getting a woman sleeping inside, he decided to change oil before he continue with his business. He was caught after the lady shouted " Mamayo, whose snake entered my sweet in the middle without my notice?" 🤣🤣🤣

He was disciplined by village elders and he now looks like a Chinese.

Moral Lesson: If you want to steal just steal in peace instead of first entering the head only🤝🤣

📢 Jonglei State Leading the Way in Education!

Today, the Government of Jonglei State Scholarship Management Committee released the names of successful candidates for the Debre Tabor University scholarships in Ethiopia.

Once again, Jonglei proves it is always ahead of the rest of South Sudan when it comes to investing in the future. The program is a shining example of fairness and vision:

✅ Balanced representation – scholarships shared equitably among the three tribes of Jonglei.
✅ Girls first – prioritizing opportunities for young women to break barriers and excel in higher education.
✅ Education for progress – building tomorrow’s leaders today.

This is what leadership looks like. Other states should learn from Jonglei’s commitment to unity, equality, and empowerment through education. 🌍📚✨
