Mnangagwa In Angola For Lourenco’s Inauguration

President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Saturday left Harare for Luanda, Angola, where he will join other leaders for a funeral service of former Angola leader Jose Eduardo dos Santos on Sunday, reported <a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/president-leaves-for-dos-santos-funeral/">The Sunday News</a>.
The funeral service is expected to precede a burial ceremony in the capital, Luanda, later in the day.
Dos Santos became Angola’s second president after the country attained political independence from Portugal in 1975.
He took over the presidency and leadership of the People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) from the late Agostinho Neto who died in 1979.
Dos Santos, who led the country until 2007, died last month in Barcelona, Spain. He would have turned 80 on 28 August 2022.
Meanwhile, Angola’s governing MPLA party has claimed victory in elections held on Wednesday as opposition parties rejected the results of the vote.
According to <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/8/26/angolas-ruling-party-claims-victory-opposition-rejects-results">Al Jazeera</a>, less than half of Angola’s registered voters turned out for Wednesday’s election.
President Joao Lourenco is seeking a second five-year term and extending the rule of MPLA, which has governed the southern African oil producer since independence from Portugal in 1975.
With more than 97 per cent of the vote counted, the election commission said on Thursday the MPLA was ahead with a 51 per cent majority.
MPLA’S longtime opponent, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) had 44.5 per cent.

Your Excellency,

Mnangagwa Mourns Former Angola President Jose Eduardo dos Santos

Angola’s former president Jose Eduardo dos Santos has died, aged 79.
Dos Santos, who ruled Angola for 38 years died at a hospital in Barcelona, Spain, the government said Friday.
He was hospitalised after suffering a cardiac arrest last month and had been on life support.
Dos Santos passed away at 11.10 am (1010 GMT) Friday, the government said in a statement.
He ruled Angola with an iron fist for 38 years but failed to maintain his influence over State institutions after he left power in May 2017.
Dos Santos’ daughter Isabel, faces a slew of corruption investigations in Angola while reports indicate that his son, Filomeno has also been in prison since 2019, also for corruption.
When José Eduardo dos Santos came to power in 1979, Angola had been experiencing civil war for four years after regaining independence from Portugal.
About 500 000 people were killed in 27 years of war which drew the USSR which supported the government and the South African apartheid regime and the United States who supported Jonas Savimbi.

Former Angolan President, José Eduardo dos Santos’ daughter, Isabel Dos Santos, has been ordered to surrender oil and gas shares worth $500m (£360m) by an international court.
The Netherlands Arbitration Institute, part of the International Court of Arbitration, said that the transaction in which Ms Dos Santos had received the shares in Portuguese oil and gas firm Galp was illegal.
It ordered that she must return them to the Angolan energy group Sonangol.
Ms Dos Santos, who was once known as Africa’s richest woman, has faced a slew of allegations that she plundered state assets and sent the money abroad.
She denies the allegations and says she is the victim of a political witch-hunt.

Load shedding in Zimbabwe and Zambia is expected to ease following recent torrential downpours in Angola.
Bloomberg reports that the floodwaters are cascading along the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zambezi_River" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zambezi River</a>, with the torrent of water set to tumble over the Victoria Falls before arriving in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Lake_Kariba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lake Kariba</a>.
Lake Kariba is the source of a steady supply of hydropower for the two nations but the reservoir is nearly empty after years of drought and overuse.
According to data from the Zambezi River Authority, jointly run by Zimbabwe and Zambian governments, water flows near Zambia’s border with Angola in February peaked at levels last seen in 1978.
The rainwater has now filled vast floodplains in western Zambia and is flowing toward Kariba.

The Angolan government has frozen former president Eduardo dos Santos daughter’s Isabel’s assets in a bid to recover $1 Billion which Isabel and her friends owe the government, Corporate Edge reports.
According to the publication:
<blockquote>…the court ordered the freezing of bank accounts in Angola, dos Santos’ stake in telecoms firm Unitel and bank Fomento de Angola (BFA), among other assets.
Angola is probing allegations made by her successor at Sonangol that dos Santos authorised offshore payments days after she was dismissed from Sonangol.</blockquote>
However, Isabel has denied any wrongdoing in this tweet:
<blockquote>I would like to leave a message of tranquility and confidence to my teams. We will continue, every day, in every business, doing our best and fighting for what I believe in for Angola. The road is long, the truth will prevail. United we stand stronger</blockquote>

SADC Parliamentary Forum has joined calls by other SADC nations that sanctions for Zimbabwe must go. The matter came to light at the 46th plenary session of the SADC Parliamentary Forum where diplomats from Angola and Malawi raised the motion that Sanctions against Zim must fall.
Angolian Member of Parliament, Josefina Perpétua Pitra Diakité who moved the motion said:
<blockquote>…negatively impacting “people’s livelihoods, economic development and access to health, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable population, including young girls, women, children, the disabled and the elderly.
The economic sanctions are a violation of the human, economic and social rights of the people of Zimbabwe and have a negative impact on the Government’s efforts to leverage the economy and boost the living standards of the Zimbabwean people.</blockquote>
The SADC Forum’s calls join other African nations in calling for the removal of sanctions against Zimbabwe. 25 October was set aside as an anti-sanctions day where unanimous calls for the removal of sanction were made by the govt and other SADC nations.

Zimbabwe and Kaizer Chiefs winger Khama Billiat is wanted by Angolan club Petro de Luanda who has joined a long list of suitors who include Wydad Casablanca and Al Ahly for his signature.
Billiat is in the second year of his contract he signed with Chiefs when he left Mamelodi Sundowns.
He reportedly earns approximately R3-million a season at Naturena including his salary and signing-on fees, making him one of the highest earners in the Absa premiership.
South African football publication, Kick Off, was told;
<blockquote>There is big money put in front of Khama Billiat. I suspect it will create a reign of confusion.
Pedro de Launda is now the latest club to come forward and offer a big deal for Billiat.
It’s big dollars and tax-free. It’s very interesting if Kaizer Chiefs will be tempted to sell him. He is also on a big contract there.</blockquote>
A Kaizer Chiefs official was earlier today quoted as saying that Billiat is happy at Chiefs and does not intend to leave the club even though he is aware of interest abroad.

Angolan Club Willing To Offer Billiat More Than R3-million A Season - Report

The High Court in Botswana has scrapped laws criminalising homosexuality in a landmark victory for African LGBT and rights campaigners. The judges said they voted unanimously in favour of changing Section 164 of Botswana’s penal code, which punishes anal and oral sex by up to seven years in prison. They said:
<blockquote>Any discrimination against a member of society is discrimination against all.</blockquote>
Ruling, Judge Lebaru, <a href="https://twitter.com/ryanlenorabrown/status/1138376731058999296" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">said:</a>
<blockquote>A democratic nation is one that embraces tolerance, diversity, and open mindedness… societal inclusion is central to ending poverty and fostering shared prosperity.</blockquote>
The judge further said that banning homosexuality was not being influenced by any public interest. Levaru added:
<blockquote>Human dignity is harmed when minority groups are marginalised.</blockquote>
The decision to decriminalise homosexuality came after an anonymous gay man, who is known only by the initials LM challenged the country’s penal code. He <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/20190610-botswana-rule-scrapping-anti-gay-laws" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">told the High Court in March</a> that the laws limited him and those like him as they feared imprisonment. He further argued that the gay community only wanted to be tolerated.
In March, Kenya High Court ruled against <a href="https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2019/05/24/kenya-high-court-upholds-law-criminalising-gay-sex/?utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=Buffer&amp;utm_campaign=PN" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">decriminalising homosexuality. </a>Botswana becomes one of a few African countries to allow homosexuality.

Botswana High Court Removes Laws Forbidding Homosexuality

Angola has withdrawn from the 2019 Cosafa Cup citing the need to complete their league season and preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations as their reasons. The tournament is set to get underway in Durban this weekend.
The withdrawal means that this year’s Group A will have only three teams, eSwatini, Mauritius and Comoros Islands. One of these sides now has an excellent opportunity to reach the quarter-finals and play the defending champions, Zimbabwe on June 1.
Three-time winners Angola have missed two previous Cosafa Cup tournaments, in 1997 and also in 2015.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has returned back home from Angola where he attended the official opening of the inaugural commemoration of the Southern Africa Liberation Day.
The Southern African Liberation Movement was opened in the presence of several heads of state and government at Cuito Cuanavale in southern Angola’s Cuando Cubango province.
The day was declared at the Windhoek Southern Africa Development Community in August 2015. According to ZimLive.com:
<blockquote>The day is commemorated every March 23 to mark the end of the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale in Angola and the South African Border War.
The People’s Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA), backed by the Soviet Union, Cuba, South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) fighters from Namibia and Umkhonto Wesizwe fighters from South Africa, pegged back and forced the withdrawal of insurgents of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), who were supported by apartheid South Africa.</blockquote>

ED Returns Home

Opposition party MDC has condemned President Emmerson Mnangagwa for having an “infantile and embarrassing love of flying”, ZimLive reports.
Mnangagwa has visited Angola to attend the first Anniversary of Southern African Liberation Day, which was declared by the Southern African Development Community in August 2018.
MDC spokesperson Jacob Mafume said that Mnangagwa should not have gone away since he had declared two days of national mourning for victims of Cyclone Idai. Said Mafume:
<blockquote>Hundreds of people dying won’t change his programme.
He declared two days of mourning this weekend, but as the chief mourner, he has left on the first day of that mourning. What will it take for him to see that things are not normal, and it can’t be business as usual?</blockquote>
MDC deputy national chairperson Tendai Biti had this to say:
<blockquote>The usurper declares two days of mourning. Our people did not require mourning, they required effective disaster management.
They required schools to be closed and communities evacuated. This did not happen. Then the usurper has the indecency of running away during mourning.</blockquote>
The United Nations’ International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has revealed that at least 259 people were killed by the cyclone and 16 000 households have been displaced.
