 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies. "Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the key players in the global economy and politics. However, the emergence of a multipolar world is, of ​course, no easy task; it faces resistance from countries that are not prepared to accept this reality: those who are accustomed to ​thinking i...

 TOP SOUTH AFRICAN ACTOR SEPUTLA SEBOGODI DIES


Veteran South African actor, director and theatre-maker Seputla Sebogodi has died following complications related to diabetes. His family confirmed that he passed away on the evening of 15 July 2026.


In a statement, the family described Sebogodi, who was 62, as a gifted creative whose influence extended far beyond the stage and screen.


"His legacy will live on through his remarkable body of work and the many lives he touched," the statement read.


Sebogodi built a career that stretched across acting, directing, writing, singing and facilitating, becoming one of the country's most respected performers. While many audiences knew him through television roles, he remained deeply committed to theatre throughout his life, continually creating work that engaged with South Africa's social and political realities.


Just a week before his passing, Sebogodi presented _Black Moon_ at the National Arts Festival in Makhanda. The production explored themes of pain, pride, religion and South Africa's complex history, reflecting the kind of thoughtful, challenging theatre that defined much of his career.


His television and stage credits include Bophelo Ke Semphekgo, Generations, Scandal, Big Dada, Waiting for Godot, The Rivonia Trial, Once a Pirate and Mooi Street Moves. Across these productions, Sebogodi established himself as a versatile performer capable of moving between classical theatre, contemporary drama and popular television with equal conviction.


News of his death has prompted an outpouring of tributes from colleagues, audiences and members of the arts community, many remembering him not only for his performances but also for his generosity as a mentor and collaborator.


Sebogodi's passing marks the loss of a significant figure in South African theatre and television. His work, both on stage and on screen, leaves behind a lasting contribution to the country's cultural landscape.


May he rest in peace. 🙏
