South African anti-graft investigators have arrested 12 senior police officers on allegations of corruption and fraud, prosecutors said Wednesday. The officers appeared later in a court in the capital, Pretoria. The arrests come while an inquiry continues into allegations of high-ranking corruption in the South African police.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s Social Democrats won the most votes in Tuesday’s Danish general election but slumped to its weakest performance since 1903, as her coalition bloc failed to secure a majority. With 21.9% of the vote, Frederiksen’s party still has by the far the most seats, but her left-wing grouping has fallen well short of the 90 seats needed to form a majority. The Social Democrats have been in power since 2019, and Frederiksen told cheering supporters she was “sorry that we did not get more votes”. In a message of defiance, she added: “There is nothing today that…

Kenya Airways on Tuesday reported a pre-tax loss of Sh17.93 billion ($138.30 million) in 2025, hurt by falling revenues.

Chief Financial Officer Mary Mwenga said the deterioration in the company’s performance was partly because three of its wide-body Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner jets were temporarily grounded because of global supply chain…
