Africa News Tonight: Zimbabwe president: retirement days are near, Kenya’s Ruto pledges budget cuts, Egypt cracks down on Hajj travel agents

Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa says he is ready to retire at the end of his term and hand the presidency to a new ZANU-PF leader. Kenya President William Ruto has ordered significant cuts in the federal budget and other reforms to pay off the country’s debt burden, in a move seen as a concession after weeks of protests against a tax bill. After more than 500 Egyptians died during the 2024 Hajj in Mecca, the Egyptian government is responding to calls for stricter regulations on travel companies organizing Hajj trips.
