Zimbabwe’s government is now appealing to its diaspora population to invest in the southern African nation, to revive its moribund economy. But Zimbabweans who left the country due to political or economic reasons are not allowed to vote, and many are now refusing to respond to an appeal from the government to invest in the country to improve the nation's economy.

Anti-corruption campaigners in Malawi say the dismissal of a corruption case involving Malawi's Vice President Saulos Chilima on Monday undermines the country's efforts to curb fraud and mismanagement.

In South Africa, the saga of former President Jacob Zuma’s candidacy in the May 29 election has taken a new twist. First, the Mail and Guardian reports that uMkhonto we Sizwe, or MK Party, founder Jabulani Khumalo had asked the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) to remove Zuma’s name from the party’s parliamentary list because Zuma had been suspended. The IEC has said that Zuma’s face will be on the ballot because the MK Party had informed the IEC that the party had changed its leadership structure. Zuma is seen as a threat to the ruling African National Congress (ANC).
