There has been a rumor spreading on social media, especially on Facebook, quoting that: ‘William Ruto is being used by the French to plot my death, just like they did to Thomas Sankara. I am trying to save Africa, but he is busy dining with our enemies. Kenyans should reject Ruto.’ Ibrahim Traoré.” What is the authenticity of this statement that is spreading on social media?”
Tunachokijua. H.E. Yoweri Tibuhaburwa Kaguta Museveni was officially sworn in as President of the Republic of Uganda for the 2026–2031 term at a colourful ceremony held at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on May 12, 2026.

kumekuwepo na chapisho ambalo linasamambazwa na moja ya ukurasa wa facebook likidai kuwa Inawezekana unatafuta dhahabu machimboni au madukani, lakini ukweli ni kwamba tayari unatembea ukiwa na dhahabu mwilini mwako! Katika chapisho hilo wamedai kuwa Wanasayansi wamethibitisha kuwa ndani ya mwili wa binadamu kuna wastani wa miligramu 0.2 za dhahabu safi. Madini haya ya thamani yanapatikana ndani ya damu yetu yakifanya kazi zake za kibaolojia. Sambamaba na hilo kumekuwepo na madai kuwa Hii ni dhihirisho tosha kuwa kila mmoja wetu ameumbwa akiwa na thamani kubwa tangu awali. Hivyo basi, thamani yako haitokani na kile unachomiliki kwa nje, bali kile kilichopo ndani yako!

One of the posts claims that the President of Botswana took drastic measures against South Africa, including cutting off electricity supplies and closing the border due to rising xenophobic tensions. The post further alleges that: "President Duma Boko declared a state of emergency, criticizing South Africans for the mistreatment of Batswana and fellow Africans. He also stated that South Africans have failed to recognize that many African nations, including Botswana, supported them during the apartheid era. The conflict allegedly started by South Africans has also worsened the energy crisis in some parts of South Africa.” Claims...
Siku za hivi karibuni, taifa la Afrika Kusini limeendelea kukumbwa na changamoto ya kuongezeka kwa mashambulizi na vurugu za chuki dhidi ya wageni (xenophobia). Maandamano hayo yanadaiwa kulenga kuwaondoa raia wa kigeni nchini humo. Pamoja na kuendelea kwa matukio hayo, kumekuwa pia na ongezeko la matumizi ya picha za zamani na picha zilizohaririwa kwa teknolojia ya akili unde (AI) katika kuelezea matukio ya sasa yanayoendelea nchini humo. Moja ya chapisho lililosambaa kupitia chombo cha habari cha Mwananchi lilikuwa na kichwa kisemacho, “Ukaburu unarejea Afrika Kusini”, kikitumia picha ambayo kwa uhalisia ilipigwa mwaka 2015 wakati wa machafuko yaliyolenga raia wa kigeni katika eneo la Johannesburg Central Business District (CBD)...
Jamani kichwa kinajieleza. Kwanza ni kweli mende anazalisha maziwa? Mende hawa hawa tunaowaona chooni? Sasa maziwa yenye yanakaa wapi na wanakamuaje? Halafu eti inasemekana maziwa ya mende yanavirutubisho kuliko ya ng'ombe, si makubwa haya! Mende walivyo wachafu na wanavyoogopesha leo mtu ukanywe sijui ule maziwa yake, yaani sitaki hata kupata picha kwakweli. Wakuu hili ni kweli?
