Bongani Bingwa speaks to Justin Mulenga, Diamond TV correspondent, about Zambia’s Parliament backing proposed constitutional amendments ahead of the country’s next general election. The move is being presented as a step toward strengthening governance and modernising the country’s founding legal framework, often seen as a sign of a maturing democracy. However, the timing of the amendments has sparked debate about political motives, electoral implications, and their broader impact on democratic practice in the region. Mulenga provides on-the-ground insight into what is driving the changes and why they matter not only for Zambians, but for the future of democracy in Southern Africa.

Ray White speaks to Kenneth Kgwadi, research fellow at the Middle East Africa Research Institute (MEARI), about the latest setback in Sudan’s stalled peace efforts after army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan rejected the US-backed “Quad” truce proposal, dismissing it as the worst plan yet and accusing the UAE of quietly supporting the RSF. The move highlights the deepening mistrust between Sudan’s warring sides and the international mediators attempting to bring them to the negotiating table. As the conflict continues, millions remain trapped in what has become the world’s largest displacement crisis, with both the army and the RSF convinced they can still secure a military victory. Kgwadi helps break down why diplomacy is failing, how external powers are complicating the conflict, and whether any viable path to peace remains for Sudan at this critical moment.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Sakaria Kone, Ivory Coast’s Ambassador to South Africa, as President Alassane Ouattara secures a fourth term in office with nearly 90% of the vote. The result, announced in the early hours in Abidjan, has stirred both celebration and concern, supporters hail Ouattara as the architect of stability and economic progress, while critics question the fairness of an election marked by the exclusion of key rivals. As the nation basks in the glow of another Ouattara victory, many ask whether Ivory Coast is witnessing the consolidation of democracy or the quiet erosion of it and what this means for its future, its people, and its partners across Africa.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Professor Gilbert Khadiagala, Director of the African Centre for the Study of the United States at Wits University, about Madagascar’s deepening political crisis following President Andry Rajoelina’s decision to dissolve Parliament amid growing unrest. What began as public frustration over water and power shortages, unemployment, and corruption has escalated into nationwide protests, with reports of parts of the military siding with demonstrators. With the president’s authority under threat, Khadiagala unpacks whether this marks a democratic reset, a constitutional crisis, or a continuation of Madagascar’s turbulent political history.

Dr. Pippie Hugues, Policy Analyst at the Governance and Democracy Division of the Policy, joins Bongani Bingwa as Cameroon stands at a critical political crossroads. President Paul Biya, now 92 years old, has ruled the country since 1982—longer than most Cameroonians have been alive. Despite surviving coups and crises, Biya has remained in power through military backing and widely contested elections. With a potential eighth term looming, questions are mounting about the future of democracy in Cameroon. Beneath the surface of official parades lies a country grappling with deep poverty, systemic corruption, and the unresolved Anglophone crisis. Rich in oil and agricultural resources, Cameroon’s potential is undeniable—but so are its political challenges. Dr. Hugues helps us unpack the realities behind Biya’s long grip on power and what the upcoming election could mean for the region.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Africa Report Correspondent ,Crystal Orderson about two major developments on the continent. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, M23 rebels and the government have signed a declaration in Qatar aimed at ending the conflict in eastern Congo, an area long plagued by violence linked to the 1994 Rwandan genocide. While the deal, brokered by Qatar and the US, marks progress, uncertainty remains over the withdrawal of M23 and Rwandan forces, with formal peace talks expected to begin on August 8. Meanwhile in Zimbabwe, Nelson Chamisa is making a political comeback by launching a new movement, deliberately not a party, to challenge ZANU-PF’s grip on power in the 2028 elections. Analysts are divided on whether this non-traditional approach can overcome Zimbabwe’s entrenched, military-backed political system.

She also looks at Spain’s new migration agreement with The Gambia, hailed by some as a lifeline for youth employment but criticised by others as a form of exploitation, with fraud allegations now surfacing around recruitment processes.

Bongani speaks to Africa Report Correspondent, Crystal Orderson, as the World Bank lifts its two-year loan ban on Uganda, initially imposed in 2023 after the country passed one of the world’s harshest anti-LGBTQ laws. Despite ongoing reports of violence and discrimination against LGBTQ individuals, the Bank says new safeguards will ensure funds are used fairly though critics argue the decision weakens global human rights efforts and could deepen financial dependency in poorer nations. Meanwhile, in Zambia, Bloomberg is hosting a high-level gathering of media owners, journalists, and philanthropists in Livingstone to explore how foundations are funding African media. The event focuses on strengthening local journalism, building talent, and measuring impact through collaborative models between international donors and African media houses.

Ray White speaks to Africa Report Correspondent Crystal Orderson about stories making headlines across the continent. Questions are mounting over the SANDF’s withdrawal from the DRC, with conflicting reports suggesting South African troops are stranded in Goma due to transport delays, claims the military firmly denies, insisting the operation is proceeding in phases with all personnel safe and supplied. Crystal weighs in on whether this is a case of miscommunication, logistical hiccups, or media sensationalism, and what it means for South Africa’s peacekeeping credibility in the region. Meanwhile, in Tanzania, the arrest of opposition figure Amani Golugwa and the disqualification of CHADEMA from the upcoming election are raising red flags about democratic backsliding under President Samia Suluhu Hassan, prompting fears of a return to authoritarian tactics just months before a crucial vote.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Africa Report Correspondent, Crystal Orderson discussing two major stories: First, African policymakers are meeting in Lomé, Togo, from May 12–14, 2025, at a High-Level Conference co-hosted by the African Union, African Development Bank, and the Togolese government to address Africa’s growing debt crisis. The summit aims to adopt the AU Lomé Declaration, which will lay out shared principles for managing public debt and coordinating creditor engagement across the continent. Second, a Kenyan court has sentenced four men including two Belgians, a Vietnamese, and a Kenyan to one year in prison or a $7,700 fine for attempting to smuggle thousands of live queen ants out of the country, a case shedding light on the niche but illegal global trade in exotic insects.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Africa Report correspondent Crystal Orderson about the growing instability in Central and East Africa. They begin with the withdrawal of South African troops from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after a costly SADC peacekeeping mission, just as DRC and Rwanda surprisingly sign a peace deal in the US. Attention then turns to South Sudan, where renewed tensions between President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar threaten to collapse the fragile 2018 peace agreement, raising fears of a return to full-scale civil war.

This week, we’re focusing on two major events taking place on the African continent. After this past weekend’s summit in Dar-es-Salaam, where the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and East African Community (EAC) gathered to address the DRC conflict, the ceasefire has offered a glimmer of hope. However, with the conflict still ongoing, can these negotiations lead to the lasting peace the region so desperately needs?
Meanwhile, in Addis Ababa, African leaders are gathering at the AU headquarters with a key focus on electing a new head of the continental body. And the big question on everyone’s lips is: will Raila Odinga finally seize the moment & take charge?
Our Africa report correspondent. Crystal Orderson joins us to unpack this.

Amnesty International has called on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to take a firm stand against escalating police violence in Mozambique, following the killing of seven protesters during post-election demonstrations in Nampula on November 13, 2024. Mozambique's disputed elections on October 9 triggered mass protests, leading to a heavy-handed crackdown by security forces, including numerous deaths, injuries, and arrests. Amnesty's Khanyo Farisè criticized SADC’s slow response and urged both SADC and the African Union to address human rights violations and push for accountability at an upcoming summit in Harare. The protests, led by opposition figures such as Venancio Mondlane, highlight ongoing unrest and accusations of electoral fraud.
