“We need to protect these two teams that are playing in the final, so that no one says we have favourites.” says Pitso

NAKURU - At least 24 HIV-positive s*x workers in Kenya have reportedly died since US aid was cut in early 2025, according to frontline health workers cited by AFP.

The deaths have been linked to disruptions in HIV treatment, while health organisations have also reported a rise in new HIV infections among s*x workers.

A recent report found that 73% of US-funded organisations surveyed had been forced to end services for key populations, including s*x workers, following the closure of clinics and disruption of health programmes.

MANZINI: William Pitcher College has been closed with immediate effect following ongoing class boycotts and disruptions linked to first-year student allowances.

In a memorandum dated October 6, 2026, the college Principal, Dr N.P. Mhlongo, informed all students that the decision to close the college was made in consultation with the Ministry of Education and Training.

The college said the ongoing disruptions had compromised normal academic operations, safety and security across the campus and surrounding areas.

As part of the closure, all students staying in the campus hostels have been instructed to pack their personal belongings and leave the campus grounds no later than 2:00 PM today.

“All face-to-face and practical sessions are suspended until further notice,” the memorandum states.

Access to the campus will also be strictly restricted to essential administrative and security personnel during the closure period.

The college management said it is engaging with relevant authorities to resolve the student allowance matters as quickly as possible.

“Updates regarding the official reopening date and adjusted academic schedule will be communicated via the official college portal and communication channels,” the memorandum states.
