2023-05-25 13:29:57 Most wanted Rwandan genocide suspect arrested in South Africa after decades on the run

The most wanted fugitive accused of involvement in the Rwandan genocide of 1994 has been arrested in Paarl, South Africa after decades on the run, authorities say.

Fulgence Kayishema was captured Wednesday in a joint operation between South African authorities and a UN team charged with finding the remaining fugitives, according to a statement.

When he was arrested, Kayishema initially denied his identity, investigators said. But by the end of the evening he told them: “I have been waiting a long time to be arrested.”

Investigators said he used multiple identities and forged documents to evade detection.

2023-05-25 11:12:39 Cape Town Seeks to Take Over Electricity Supply From South Africa’s Eskom

Cape Town, South Africa’s second-largest city, is in talks with Eskom to take over the supply of electricity in areas of the metro served by the state power utility.

The municipality oversees the provision about 70% of the power used in the city, with the remainder falling under Eskom. The discussions, which started about a year ago, form part of Cape Town’s plans to reduce its reliance on the beleaguered utility that’s subjecting the nation to record blackouts.

“We want to supply the entire city,” Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said in an interview. City officials are “engaged in some rather delicate negotiations with Eskom” and are awaiting written confirmation as to whether its board wants to proceed with the project, he said.

The city uses about 1 700 MW at peak hours in the winter and 1 600 MW in the summer.

South Africa has granted Turkey's Karpowership access to the three ports of Ngqura, Durban and Saldanha Bay for a period of 20 years, the transport ministry said on Thursday, as it tries to find solutions to the country's power crisis.

Karpowership aims to generate power on its floating gas ships and distribute it through South Africa's electricity grid. The plan received a boost from President Cyril Ramaphosa last week after he told lawmakers the ships would help ease the prolonged power shortage countrywide.
