The former president, who held power for 22 years, ran several businesses, including bakeries and farms.

Two white South African men accused of forcing a black man into a coffin have been granted 1,000 rand ($77; £58) bail, reports IOL news, external.

The news site adds there was "outcry in the courtroom" when judgment in the bail application was pronounced.

Farm owners, Theo Jackson and Willem Oosthuizen are accused of pushing Victor Mlotshwa into a coffin and threatening to douse him with petrol and burn him alive.

When Mr Mlotshwa resisted, the farmers are alleged to have threatened to put a snake into the coffin with him.

They were arrested last November after a video of the alleged incident was posted online.

They are expected to enter an official plea at the trial.

An independent arbiter has ruled in favor of a group of drivers fired by Uber when it deactivated them from the app without reason, Quartz reports, external.

Uber plans to challenge the decision in South Africa’s labor court, a higher body than the commission, adds Quartz.

Grandparents and other relatives of people living in the US cannot be barred from entering under President Trump's travel ban, a judge has ruled.

The order, by District Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii, is a fresh legal blow to Mr Trump's immigration crackdown.

The judge said the ban had interpreted a Supreme Court ruling too narrowly.

That decision, made last month, partly reinstated the ban on refugees and travellers from six Muslim-majority countries namely Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

It said only those with "bona fide" family ties would be let into the US.

But the Trump administration decided that did not include grandparents, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces and cousins.

Judge Watson, however, disagreed - and ordered that those restrictions should not be enforced.

We reported earlier that Nigerian authorities are investigating the claim that 97 Nigerians were killed by gendarmes (paramilitary police) in the Bakassi peninsula in Cameroon.

This peninsular has history.

While the peninsula in the Gulf of Guinea is governed by Cameroon, it hasn't always been this way.

In 2002 the International Court of Justice decided sovereignty should be handed over from Nigeria to Cameroon.

The inhabitants are mainly the Oron people of Cross River and Akwa Ibom States of Nigeria.

The BBC's Ibrahim Shehu Adamu reports from Abuja that the Nigerian parliament expressed the need to investigate the killings in view of an agreement the two countries made in 2005 to protect the citizens of the areas from harm.
