[Daily Trust] The United States government Friday donated five nuclear detector cans to the Nigeria police to assist the outfit in checking terrorism in the country.
Nationwide protests have taken place since October 7 despite the disbanding of the controversial Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) police unit.
The demonstrators have been accused of attacking police stations and personnel.
The rallies which are mostly attended by young people have become avenues to vent against corruption and unemployment.
Rights groups say at least 15 people have been killed the demonstrations began in early October.
BY SHARON SIBINDI A MIX of top Bulawayo artistes are set to light up the last concert of the Creative Diversity and Social Inclusion (Credisi) to be livestreamed on the Inkululeko Yabatsha School of Arts (Iyasa) Facebook page on October 31. The programme, which roared to life in August last year, is aimed at promoting diversity and creativity in the local spaces. Credisi is being supported by Culture at Work Africa (CAWA), which is a consortium of eight African, European and International partners whose mission is to promote the public value of intercultural dialogue for social cohesion in urban areas across Africa. Speaking to NewsDay Life & Style yesterday, Credisi information officer, Kudakwashe Takundwa said the potentially explosive show would feature a star-studded line-up of 12 acts, among them Tshibilika music giants Clement Magwaza, Madlela Skhobokhobo, dancer-cum-songbird Sandra Ndebele-Sibindi and Vuyo Brown. “Magwaza and Madlela are both known for their energetic live performances and are set to mesmerise audiences live on the Inkululeko Yabatsha School of Arts Facebook page. Sandra Ndebele-Sibindi on the other hand will bring her latest offering to the show which is currently an envy of many,” he said. “Hip-hop and house lovers will be in for a treat on the day with rap king Asaph, house music singer Novuyo Seagirl and kwaito star Tebza who are all set to bring their A game to the event.” Madlela Skhobokhobo, who has promised fireworks on stage, said he would use the show to belt songs from his latest album Ntikoloshi which he released a month ago. “We are using this show to jam some of the songs on our new album. Our followers should expect nothing but fireworks on stage,” he said. Iyasa project co-ordinator and director Nkululeko Innocent Dube said the feedback on the eleven shows has been great and it made them realise that people were more than willing to support the arts in Bulawayo. “The programme has been a revelation that our people are more than willing to support our creatives, a lot of our spaces in the city lie idle, we need to engage our city more and utilise the local spaces in our city more,” he said. “Through the Credisi project, Iyasa worked with the local authority and arts stakeholders on inter-cultural dialogue meetings which were set to build an understanding, and generate confidence which can enable the implementation of reforms around the use of public infrastructure in the city.” Dube said the project targeted youth-led organisations, women arts groups, creative clubs, hubs as well as initiatives done by up-and-coming and independent artistes in the city. “Bulawayo can live up to its billing as Zimbabwe’s cultural capital. The city can be the heartbeat of diversity and social inclusion. The city needs to package that and city fathers ought to appreciate the efforts artistes put in selling Bulawayo as a brand,” he said. Also to participate at the concert are traditional dance outfit Bolamba Culture Birds, guitarist and vocalist Samuzik, Ceejay, Indosakusa. The Morning Star, gospel
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police unions nationwide have largely supported President Donald Trump’s reelection, amid mass demonstrations over police brutality and accusations of systemic racism — but a number of Black law enforcement officers are speaking out against these endorsements, saying their concerns over entering the 2020 political fray were ignored.

NNPA NEWSWIRE — President Trump wants to paper over the living wound of racism. He’s issued Executive Orders and established a new national commission designed to whitewash our history—and deny the daily reality of being Black in America. He actively appeals to white supremacists and fans the flames of hatred and division in our country, because he thinks it benefits him politically. He ignores the most basic job of every president: the duty to care for all of us, not just those who voted for him.
