A High Court hearing is set for Monday on the constitutionality of the government's ban, which came into force on Thursday following weeks of protests against Mugabe's rule and his handling of the country's ailing economy. Violence erupted more than a week ago at an anti-Mugabe protest when police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse marchers angered by spiraling unemployment, a plummeting economy and allegations of government corruption.

President John Mahama President John Mahama has said conscious efforts must be made at assisting weak students in the country so they could achieve at least, a credit mark, during examinations. Speaking at the Oguaa Fetu festival at Cape Coast in the Central region, the president called on chiefs and people of the region to probe the seeming fallen standards of education in the area. “There are pockets where performance remains disappointing, there are also once top performing schools that seem to have suffered a deterioration in recent years. On the other hand, we’ve also recorded disturbingly poor performances among some candidates in some schools and considering that parents, government and teachers have invested so much money and effort in the training of students, this certainly should be a cause of worry. “Our task, therefore, is to ensure that we sustain the excellent performance put up by our top students while at the same time supporting our weakest students to ac

Theresa May Britain needs to be prepared for some "difficult times" ahead as it leaves the European Union, Prime Minister Theresa May has said. Speaking to the Andrew Marr Show - in her first major interview since taking office - Mrs May warned Brexit would not be "plain sailing" for the UK.
