Robert Mugabe Jr, son of Zimbabwe’s late president, has appeared in a Harare court charged with drug possession after allegedly driving the wrong way down a one-way street.

Police say they found cannabis in a sling bag Mugabe Jr was carrying, and arrested five others linked to a suspected drug syndicate.

His lawyer disputes the charges, claiming the drugs were found in a car with other occupants and the quantity was far less than police allege.

The 33-year-old was remanded in custody pending a bail hearing on Friday. Police say investigations are ongoing.

Mugabe Jr, who has had previous run-ins with the law, was welcomed back into the ruling Zanu-PF party in 2022 after reconciling with President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Thousands of students walked out of classrooms across 35 Spanish cities today in protest against Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, answering a call by the National Students’ Union to “stop the genocide” and sever political and commercial ties with Israel.

In Madrid alone, some 4,000 students joined the march, carrying Palestinian flags and chanting slogans such as “Free Palestine.” Parallel protests erupted across Europe after Israeli forces intercepted a flotilla - a fleet of boats carrying humanitarian aid bound for Gaza - with activists and students demanding action from governments.

His track record is really impressive, and we have seen the signs in him as a good leader.”

VIDEO: Kanifing Mayor Talib Ahmed Bensouda sets out the vision of the Unite for Change Movement, a new political platform he says will transform into a party to address poverty, poor services, and youth despair.

BREAKING: Kanifing Mayor Talib Ahmed Bensouda has officially launched the Unite for Change Movement, a new political platform he says will soon transform into a party, marking his departure from the United Democratic Party (UDP).

In a video address, Bensouda cited The Gambia’s poverty, poor access to water, electricity, education and healthcare, and the desperation of youths risking irregular migration as urgent national challenges, calling on Gambians at home and abroad to unite for change.

While thanking UDP leader Ousainou Darboe and acknowledging the support he received in the party, Bensouda said the decision was one of the hardest of his life but necessary to follow his conscience and ambition to build a better future for the country.

Senegal’s Saint-Louis fishing communities are warning that British Petroleum (BP)’s Greater Tortue Ahmeyim gas project, located offshore near the Senegal-Mauritania border, is driving them deeper into poverty as exclusion zones around the platform cut them off from traditional fishing grounds.

Fishermen say catches have fallen sharply, forcing many to abandon their livelihoods, while women fish processors face rising unemployment.

The multi-billion-dollar project, expected to produce 2.3 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas annually for over 20 years, has been hailed by authorities as a boost to national revenues, but locals argue it is undermining their centuries-old dependence on the sea.

For many in Saint-Louis, the BP platform stands less as a symbol of national progress than as a barrier between them and the only livelihood they have ever known.
