| ANC to sue over painting showing Zuma's genitals: South Africa's governing ANC says it will go to court after a gallery exhibited a painting with President Jacob Zuma's genitals hanging out.
Brett Murray's painting by is an "abuse of freedom of artistic expression" said ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu.
He said he had asked lawyers to get the Johannesburg gallery to remove the $14,000 (£9,000) painting, The Spear. President Zuma, who has four wives, has sued local media companies 11 times for defamation. Lara Koseff, spokeswoman of the Goodman Gallery, which is running Murray's Hail to the Thief II exhibition, defended the painting as "a very satirical look at contemporary South African politics... of the disillusion of democracy within the country".

Yaba Badoe visits African literary event in Stockholm: A small group of lovers of African literature gathered at the main hall of Tensta Träff on Saturday to listen to two female African writers, Ghanaian-British documentary film-maker, journalist and novelist, Yaba Badoe, and Cameroonian journalist and writer, Brigitte Gacha, based in Sweden. The literary occasion was organised by Föreningen Afrikansk Litteratur (African Literature Association), which, for several years now, has worked on a Swedish translation of a collection of short stories by female African writers edited by Ama Ata Aidoo. A Swedish actress read the contribution by Yaba Badoe who, herself, read an extract from her current novel, True Murder. Read more... |

| The plight of migrant children in Britain: Undocumented children get little attention, aside from the few who arrive clinging to the bottom of a lorry or are trafficked for exploitation as winkle-pickers or sex-workers. But there are a lot of them - some 120,000 in Britain, or one in 100 children. They are a far higher proportion of the undocumented population than in America or Canada where birth generally secures citizenship; in Britain the parents' immigration status usually defines their offspring’s, though a British-born child can apply for citizenship after ten years.

Abu Sakara is CPP's presidential candidate: The 2008 Vice-Presidential candidate of the Convention People's Party, Dr Abu Sakara, has been elected flabearer of the party for the 2012 presidential elections.
He polled 1,130 votes, representing 55.2 per cent of the total votes cast, to beat his only challenger, Mr Bright Akwetey who garnered 917 votes - representing 44.8 per cent of the vote - making the contest quite a close one.
The CPP was formerly led by Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, who broke out to form his own political party, the Progressive People's Party. Currently, the CPP has one Member of Parliament in Samia Nkrumah of the Jomoro Constituency of the Western Region who also doubles as the National Chairperson of the party. The CPP is one of several parties claiming a descent from Nkrumah's CPP.

Cameroon blacklists Pastor TB Joshua: The Cameroonian government has blacklisted Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, saying that he is an agent of Satan hoodwinking unsuspecting members of the public with “diabolical miracles”. Cameroon Foreign Affairs minister Henri Eyebe Ayissi, in an official communiqué issued last week, described TB Joshua as a “son of the devil” pretending to be “a man of God”. The minister warned hundreds of Cameroonians trooping to Lagos, South West Nigeria, for miracles in Joshua’s church, to desist from taking the trip or face the consequences as the country will not stand by them.
