Political News – Today’s Top African Stories

Looking for what’s happening in African politics right now? You’re in the right place. We bring you the freshest headlines, quick insights, and the real impact behind each story. No fluff, just the facts you need to stay informed.

Breaking Stories

One of the biggest shocks this week was Floyd Shivambu’s sudden exit from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). According to insiders, Shivambu quit after a heated clash with party leader Julius Malema over his ambition to run for the presidency. The fallout didn’t just end with Shivambu leaving the party – he also gave up his seat in parliament, signaling a serious split within the EFF’s top tier.

The resignation raises a lot of questions. Will the EFF’s internal dynamics change? Can Malema keep his grip on the movement? And what does this mean for voters who support the party’s left‑wing agenda? We’ll keep tracking reactions from members, opposition leaders, and everyday South Africans who follow the drama.

Another hot topic is the upcoming national elections in Kenya. Candidates are criss‑crossing the country, promising jobs, better healthcare, and honest governance. Yet, concerns over vote‑buying and election rigging still loom large. Our coverage will break down each major party’s platform, highlight key battleground regions, and explain how the youth vote could swing the results.

What’s Coming Up

Beyond the EFF fallout, there are several stories you should watch. In Nigeria, a new anti‑corruption bill is moving through parliament, potentially tightening rules on public officials’ assets. In Ghana, the ruling party is facing a leadership challenge that could reshape its policy priorities ahead of the mid‑term polls.

We also keep an eye on diplomatic moves. South Africa’s foreign ministry just announced a trade delegation to Ethiopia, aiming to boost cross‑border investments in agriculture and tech. If the talks go well, both economies could see a surge in jobs and innovation.

Why does any of this matter to you? Political shifts affect everything from the price of goods at the market to the safety of your travel plans. When a major party splits, you might see new policies that change taxation, land reform, or even the rules for foreign investors. Staying updated helps you make smarter decisions, whether you’re voting, doing business, or just curious about what’s shaping the continent.
