South Africa's speaker of parliament Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has surrendered to police after a court refused to hear her application to prevent her arrest on corruption allegations. The Africa Center for Strategic Studies study shows disinformation is a growing challenge to stable African societies, and that China’s Africa-focused media try to improve perceptions of China and its political system, and disparage the United States. Autism Awareness Day seeks to educate the world about autism spectrum disorder, which affects about one in 100 children worldwide.
