 Apple's statement on minerals must be 'verified': DRC International lawyers for the Democratic Republic of Congo welcomed Apple's decision to stop sourcing minerals from there due to worsening conflict, but said they would press ahead with their cases against the company in Europe. Criminal complaints were filed against Apple subsidiaries in France and Belgium this week on behalf of DR Congo, accusing the tech firm of using conflict minerals in its supply chain, Reuters reported. DR Congo is a major source of tin, tantalum and tungsten, so-called 3T minerals used in computers and mobile phones. But some artisanal mines are run by armed groups involved in massacres, rapes and other crimes, say UN experts and rights groups.

FRIENDS DEMAND JUSTICE FOR A DOMESTIC ABUSE VICTIM WHO WAS KILLED AFTER SHE DECIDED TO LEAVE HER ALLEGEDLY TOXIC EX Friends are demanding justice for a South African woman who was killed while trying to leave her allegedly abusive boyfriend. Singwa Namhla Mtwa, 34, suffered abuse for years in the hands of her long term boyfriend Major Mfesane Bhekezu, friends say. In one incident, she was allegedly beaten by her boyfriend with a leather belt for 8 hours. She decided to leave the toxic relationship but was shot 9 times in the driveway at her home, in April 21, 2022. South African Twitter users are now demanding justice for the deceased. Though her boyfriend has not been charged for her murder, Twitter users suggest he might have a hand in her death but they alleged no one wants to do anything about it because he is "untouchable" and a very connected businessman.

NGO Trains Commercial Sex Workers On Confectionery Making In Awka A Non-Governmental Organization, Save Young Girls Motherhood Foundation, has taken commercial sex workers at Club Road, Awka, through confectionery training. According to the NGO, the aim of the training was to teach the girls a positive alternative to earning, and strategically take their minds away from the odd job. The NGO has been championing a novel campaign since September of 2021, to rescue young girls who are into commercial sex business, with major target being those operating in Anambra State. At Club Roaf, Awka, formerly, popularly known as Abakiliki Street, the girls were taught how to bake cake and meat pie. However, one thing that stood out from the training was the keen interest with which all the girls followed through the whole process, suspending their presumably busy schedules. The NGO says girls who have shown genuine willingness to leave their current job would be assisted with further training of th...
