Tanzanian press freedom activists want the government to update its broad media freedom laws. (AFP/Getty Images/Daniel Hayduk) WRITTEN BY Omar Mohammed January 20, 2016 Quartz Africa Recently-elected Tanzanian president John Magufuli has garnered regional praise for his reformist proposals aimed at rooting out government corruption and incompetence. But his administration is facing its first real test of that agenda following a decision to ban a tabloid for producing journalism it says could threaten the country’s stability. On Monday (Jan. 18), Nape Nnauye, Tanzania’s new information minister, told reporters that the government will invoke the 1976Newspaper Act to de-register the weekly tabloid Mawio and restrict the publication from operating entirely, even through online platforms. “The government regrets taking this decision but it was compelled to act due to the newspaper’s continuous writing and publication of content that is inciteful and threaten...

Oh, your aching back! What causes the stiffness and back pain during pregnancy, and how a pregnant woman can manage. If pregnancy is becoming a pain in your back, you’re not alone — backaches are one of the most common symptoms among the expecting set. And, unfortunately, backache often starts early on in your pregnancy — sometime around week 18 — and persists (or worsens) until you give birth (when it’s replaced by postpartum back pain ). What causes backache during pregnancy As your belly gets bigger throughout your pregnancy, a hormone called relaxin causes the otherwise stable joints in your pelvis to loosen up in order to allow easier passage of your baby during delivery.

In turn, your lower back curves more than usual to accommodate the load – resulting in strained muscles and, you guessed it, soreness, stiffness and pain. What you need to know If you’re...

Owen Gagare , Herbert Moyo Every year the media and assorted 'prophets' predict his death, but he keeps on keeping on. Staying power: President Robert Mugabe has joked about previous reports of his death, saying: 'I have died many times – that's where I have beaten Christ. [He] died once and resurrected once.'

Rumours that Mugabe, who turns 92 next month, was hospitalised after collapsing while on holiday in the Far East, started doing the rounds on Monday and escalated on Tuesday, generating global interest, if discussions on social media are anything to go by. Although Zimbabweans have become accustomed to these rumo...
