Kenyan Job Scam: Zimbabwe Issues Alert Over Employment Fraud| Firstpost Africa | N18G
In Zimbabwe, President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government has issued an alert for its citizens over employment fraud on social media. The Zimbabwean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade issued a warning against a Facebook page named 'Zimbabwe Embassy Kenya'. The page operators claimed that they were hiring staff for the Embassy of Zimbabwe in Nairobi. The page offered a list of job offers that required a payment of more than 48,000 Kenyan Shillings ($375). The scammers claimed that this money was to obtain an "Africa Regional Labour Accreditation Certificate". The Zimbabwean government said that the page has no official affiliation with it, urging the citizens to rely on the country's Public Service Commission for all official recruitment into the public service.

Kerala HC extends protection from arrest for rapper Vedan in rape case
Agency: Last Updated: Kochi, Aug 20 (PTI) The Kerala High Court on Wednesday extended until August 25 an interim order preventing police from arresting rapper Hirandas Murali, known as Vedan, who is facing rape charges. Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas, who had earlier granted interim protection from arrest, extended the order while hearing Vedan's anticipatory bail plea. The complainant, a doctor, has alleged that Vedan entered into a sexual relationship with her on the promise of marriage but later withdrew. She has also accused him of sexually harassing her multiple times between 2021 and 2023. Her counsel told the court that Vedan had faced similar complaints earlier and accused investigators of failing to present key evidence, including WhatsApp messages. The lawyer also claimed Vedan celebrated his birthday publicly after police issued a lookout notice. The judge observed that a promise of marriage by itself does not amount to a criminal offence and said Facebook posts cannot automatically be treated as evidence. The court allowed the complainant time until August 25 to submit additional documents. Thrikkakara police are investigating the case, and Vedan remains on anticipatory bail protection until the next hearing.

Fell In Love On Facebook, Married In Temple. But When Bride Reached His House, Groom Said...
Last Updated: A Facebook friendship between a man from Uttar Pradesh and a girl from Jharkhand led to marriage, but he later he denied knowing her What began as a Facebook friendship between a young man from Uttar Pradesh and a girl from Jharkhand soon turned into a dramatic dispute involving police intervention. According to reports, the girl had accepted a friend request from the Sonbhadra-based youth, who works with Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL). Their online chats and video calls soon grew into a relationship. After meeting in person, the two decided to marry, and in a local temple they exchanged vows and performed the traditional saat phere (seven rounds). The girl claims she left her family behind to start a new life with him. But the story took a shocking turn when she went to her husband's home in NCL Kakri Colony under Anpara police station limits. Instead of welcoming her, the young man allegedly refused to acknowledge the marriage. 'Sorry, who are you? I don't know you," he reportedly told her. The bride, stunned by his denial, broke down in tears and then staged a dharna outside the house, accusing him of betrayal. Soon, a crowd gathered in the colony and the matter escalated, prompting police to intervene. She later lodged a written complaint at the police station, stating that the man lured her into a relationship through Facebook, married her, and is now refusing to accept her as his wife. She has demanded justice and protection of her rights. Police officials confirmed they are looking into the case. 'The legal aspects of the marriage and the allegations made by the girl will be examined. If the claims are found to be true, necessary action will be taken," said officers. The case has sparked debate in the area, highlighting how relationships formed on social media can sometimes lead to disputes and heartbreak. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

South Africa: Ramaphosa to Offer New Trade Deal to Trump to Avoid US Tariffs Firstpost Africa
South Africa: Ramaphosa to Offer New Trade Deal to Trump to Avoid US Tariffs | Firstpost Africa|N18G South Africa's government has said that it will offer a new trade deal to US President Donald Trump to avoid a 30% tariff on its exports, the highest in sub-Saharan Africa. The tariffs, which threaten an estimated 30,000 jobs in a country with an unemployment rate over 33%, are not solely a trade issue. The Trump administration's grievances extend to South Africa's domestic policies, such as the Land Expropriation Act and the Black Economic Empowerment Act, which are designed to address historical racial inequalities. The US is also concerned with South Africa's international relations, including its BRICS membership and its genocide case against Israel. While the Ramaphosa government is attempting to appease the US with a new trade offer, including increased imports of American goods, the Democratic Alliance, a key party in the South African coalition government, believes the tariffs will remain until the government revises its domestic racial policies. The African National Congress, however, is unlikely to make such changes, as its political identity is rooted in ending the racist white minority rule of the past. See More
