Africa Weekly: South Africa's Zuma jailed

AFP, 09 Jul 2021
This week in Africa, South Africa's ex-president Jacob Zuma reports to prison to start a 15-month sentence for contempt of court in a test of the country's democracy. Rebel troops in the Tigray region of Ethiopia march back into the state capital after federal soldiers pull out. Kenneth Kaunda, one of Africa's last living liberation heroes, is buried in his home country of Zambia. Yet another mass kidnapping in Nigeria -- this time 121 students were abducted from a school in the northwest. Lastly, a particularly brutal rebel group sows terror in Beni, in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
