Politics: Latest African Politics News & Analysis
Politics affects what you pay for food, how elections run, and who leads your city or country. On CottonCandi News we cover the stories that change lives across Africa — from court cases and cabinet shake-ups to budgets and election warnings. You’ll find quick reports, clear analysis, and the context you need to make sense of fast-moving events.
What you’ll find in this section
We group political coverage into short news, deep reads, and updates from key regions. Expect courtroom dramas like the tribunal over Judge Selby Mbenenge, high-stakes dismissals such as President Ramaphosa removing DA deputy minister Andrew Whitfield, and budget battles like Kenya’s Sh405 billion county allocation. We also track warnings from courts about electoral bodies, arrests that spark protests, and major policy moves like new civil service appointments or minimum wage talks.
Each post includes the facts we can verify, the main players, and what the next steps likely mean. Need a quick hit? Read the brief news item. Want detail?

We try to be fair and clear. That means naming officials, quoting documents, and showing how a decision affects people’s daily lives — jobs, services, and safety. We also highlight watchdog moves and citizen responses, from labor arrests that prompt national outcry to governors negotiating budgets that affect hospitals and schools.
