\t On Friday, internet and international calls were cut off across the West African nation in anticipation of the election results, according to locals and international observers in the capital, Conakry.
\t This was the third time that Conde matched-up against Diallo. Before the election, observers raised concerns that an electoral dispute could reignite ethnic tensions between Guinea's largest ethnic groups.
Among some of the major announcements were that National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) students would receive 10GB free data from June through to August; all students and staff members returning to campuses will be screened upon entry; and one third of students will be allowed back on campuses and in residences under Level 3 of the lockdown.
The students who will be allowed back under Level 3 should be in their final year and must require access to laboratories, technical equipment, data, connectivity and access to residence as well as private accommodation.
First-year students in all undergraduate programmes will be allowed back as well as students in all years of study who require laboratory and technical equipment to complete the academic year.
Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) students will return by specific dates, but if their campuses are in areas that are still on Level 4 during that time - they will remain closed.
Nzimande added the government was not in a position to subsidise data to students who fall within the so-called \"missing middle\" category - those who did not qualify for NSFAS bursaries, but came from households who might have been hit hard by the pandemic.
South Korea has apps that track visitors, bracelets for keeping tabs on quarantine breakers, and bus shelters which take temperatures.

BY DESMOND CHINGARANDE SPECIAL envoys appointed by African Union chairperson, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to probe reports of gross human rights violations in Zimbabwe jetted out of the country yesterday after aborting their proposed meetings with the opposition and civic society groups under unclear circumstances. Baleka Mbete, Sydney Mufamadi and advocate Ngoako Abel Ramatlhodi met President Emmerson Mnangagwa at State House and were expected to meet main opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa and civic society organisations. The trio arrived on a fact-finding mission “following recent reports of difficulties that the Republic of Zimbabwe is experiencing”, according to a statement by Ramaphosa’s office last week. MDC Alliance spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said they had been formally requested to attend a meeting yesterday with the special envoys, but were surprised after being advised that the envoys were returning to South Africa without meeting them. “Our delegation remained on standby from 10am, but only to be advised at the end of the day that the special envoys would be returning to South Africa without meeting the MDC Alliance delegation in order to brief President Ramaphosa on the outcomes of their meeting with Mnangagwa,” she said in a statement. “We can only assume that the failure to meet the MDC Alliance delegation was as a result of demands made by the Zanu PF delegation.” The MDC Alliance said they had reiterated that Zimbabwe was in a state of crisis that was characterised by a de facto state of emergency, a crackdown on citizens, abductions, and arbitrary arrests of government critics and the political persecution of journalists. “The government in Harare is incapable of resolving these challenges because it lacks legitimacy. We are of the firm view that any solution to the ongoing socio-economic challenges lies in resolving the political crisis and answering the outstanding legitimacy question,” Mahere said. The MDC Alliance spokesperson said it was clear that Mnangagwa was not ready to resolve the national crisis through genuine dialogue. “However, the deteriorating plight of the Zimbabwean people means that a political settlement is more urgent than before,” she said. However, a reliable source said the envoys were denied access to opposition politicians and civic society, with Mnangagwa insisting that there was no crisis in the country despite the blatant human rights violations since the run-up to the July 31 anti-corruption protests. Addressing journalists after meeting Mnangagwa, Mufamadi yesterday said the envoys were reading the situation in Zimbabwe. “We were listening to the reading of the situation, what is being done or the intention to do what strategy. I know you will not ask us to report to our President through the media. We will be reporting to the President who will interact with the public,” he said. Mnangagwa called the allegations “divisive falsehoods” in his Heroes Day speech, repeating his claim that he was under renewed attack from domestic and foreign oppone

“Additionally,” Henry said, “for those customers who have Internet access, we are strongly encouraging them to sign up for online banking which is also convenient, low-cost and, most important, keep persons physically distant to minimise any potential exposure to the coronavirus.”
Customers must have a data plan in order to access this option, but using the Scotia Caribbean Mobile App is zero-rated and will not attract data charges.
This latest offer follows the recent upgrade of the Scotia mobile banking app in March 2020.
While online and mobile banking adoption has been growing steadily in recent years, the bank has seen a marked increase in recent weeks as customers seek to find ways to conduct necessary transactions while observing the recommended physical-distancing guidelines.
Online and mobile banking transactions now account for approximately 22 per cent of Scotiabank’s total transactions, while in-branch transactions now account for 10 per cent.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Around 100 people were detained in the Belarusian capital on Sunday during anti-government protests that were prompted by the reelection of the country's authoritarian leader and continued for over four months. Crowds of people have taken part in dozens of small rallies scattered all around Minsk — a new tactic used by the opposition instead of one large gathering intended to make it harder for security forces to target the protesters. Demonstrators carrying red-and-white flags, the symbol of the protest, gathered in groups and marched down residential areas of the city, demanding the resignation of President […]

A few feet away, a plastic snowman adorns the door of another patient whose face is barely visible behind ventilator tubes.

Winnie Mutuku has managed to sustain a feeding program for street children and families in Kitale, a town in western Kenya about 280 miles from the capital, Nairobi.
Mutuku, who manages Upendo Street Children -- a project run by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul -- has reunited many children with their families to avoid their being arrested by police during curfew hours.
Currently, I'm working on developing a new project for street children in the western part of Kenya [Kitale] where the Daughters of Charity have been engaged in services for 11 years.
Tell us about your ministry
I came to Kitale in July last year to do a feasibility study in preparation to respond to the issues of street children in Kitale town.
Is there something about the charism of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul that has made you focus on the needs of the street children?
