Radio Islam International<\/em>\u00a0speaks to Senior Research Fellow at Africa Asia\u00a0<\/strong>Dialogues Ebrahim Thembisa Fakude on this week\u2019s Africa Report.<\/span><\/p>\n

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa promises an anti-corruption crackdown. Fakude said there are signs that he means well and is a man of due diligence.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Fakude, following the announcement on Sunday, more arrests are likely to be seen as there have already been high-profile arrests.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said many people believe Ramaphosa will be a different president after the December ANC conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

The US has blocked aid to Egypt over Humans Rights Concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Fakude, thousands of prisoners are lingering in jail in Egypt, which is known for violating fundamental human rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEgypt is an oppressive country which a dictator governs under the leadership of Muhammad Mosi,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Biden took over, the Americans vowed to be tough on those violating basic Human Rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Zambia, the President has fired a top public Prosecutor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fakude told\u00a0Radio Islam<\/em>\u00a0that Zambia is taking a different course in moving forward with its democratic reforms. Including trying to rectify its economy, which has been stalling over the past years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe see a Zambia that is getting more prosperous and trying hard to achieve democratic principles,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The same thing seems to be occurring in Tanzania as the President sacks his Foreign Minister.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLeaders are now taking positions often seen and observed in the West,\u201d said Fakude.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the comments made by President Ramaphosa on Sunday, we may see a senior official in South Africa being fired. Which Fakude believes to be quite positive.<\/span><\/p>\n
