A report by New York University Stern Center for Business and Human Rights has found that workers in the fashion garment industry in Ethiopia are the worst paid in the world.

The report says that on average employees received $26 (£20) a month, making it difficult for them to “afford decent housing, food or transportation”.

The Swedish fashion giant H&M is among a growing number of Western fashion brands that source items from Ethiopia.

It told the BBC it is committed to ensuring that workers who produce in Ethiopian factories receive fair wages.

With less than 5% of the votes left to count after Wednesday's election in South Africa, the ANC has maintained its lead. It currently has a 58% share of the vote.

The Democratic Alliance has 21% and the Economic Freedom Fighters has 11%.

ANC leader Cyril Ramaphosa will now argue that he has a mandate to create a cabinet capable of reducing unemployment, says BBC Africa editor Fergal Keane.

That means sidelining allies of his scandal plagued predecessor Jacob Zuma.

Perceptions of honest government are critical if Mr Ramaphosa is to attract the investment South Africa needs.

The most striking statistic in this election is the fall off in voting by young people: more than six million didn’t register to take part – roughly half of those in the 18-30 age bracket who were entitled to vote.

Disenchantment over corruption and the failure to provide jobs is deep. It is a trend of alienation that Mr Ramaphosa will need to stem if the long-term health of democracy here is to be guaranteed.

The Congolese citizen movement La Lucha has held protests against mobile phone operators in the capital, Kinshasa, and other cities across the country.

Nigeria's anti-corruption body, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has arrested musician Naira Marley, whose real name is Afeez Fashola.

The artist was picked up in the commercial hub, Lagos, in the early hours of Friday "in connection with an alleged case of internet fraud and money laundering," the EFCC tweeted.

Naira Marley was detained with other well-known musicians..

They have also been linked to a "cybercrime offence", the EFCC said. "They have so far volunteered useful information about their involvement in the alleged criminal activities, even as investigations continue."

Neither Naira Marley nor the other musicians who were arrested have commented on the allegations.

Naira Marley has been accused by some in Nigeria of appearing to glorify internet fraudsters, popularly called Yahoo boys.

During an Instagram live session in April, Naira Marley told Nigerians to pray for the Yahoo boys “as they are crucial to the circulation of money in the economy”.

This week he released a song called Am I A Yahoo Boy.

"Yaya has decided to end his career as a champion," agent Dimitri Seluk said, adding that he now plans to become a coach:

"I'm sure that two years after Yaya gets the Pro coaching licence, he will head one of the serious clubs and achieve great success in the coaching field. Now he has already begun to take steps in this direction."

Kenya's economy is being held back from better growth because the country's manufacturers are operating below capacity, according to data compiled by two business organisations.

The economy is also restricted because companies are struggling to secure funds for expansion from banks, which are issuing fewer loans since the government capped commercial lending rates in 2016.

A survey by the Kenya Association of Manufacturers has found that about five in 10 companies are operating at half capacity, as they struggle to cope with the impact of drought and corruption, as well as a lack of money to develop their business.

Firms are also facing challenges like higher costs of electricity and the illicit import of commodities like sugar.

Earlier this week an index of purchasing by companies, compiled for Stanbic Bank by Markit, revealed Kenya's private sector contracted in April, for the first time in 17 months.

Companies have also complained about delays by the Revenue Authority in processing tax refunds and some manufacturers say delays in clearing cargoes at the port of Mombasa are leading to lost sales.

It has also emerged that three-quarters of companies plan to freeze hiring new staff or cut jobs.

Manufacturing's share of the Kenyan economy slipped below 8%, which is a concern because it made up 10% just five years ago.

Kenya's manufacturing sector covers a range of businesses, including food and drink producers, metal products, pharmaceuticals and cement.

With 90% of the votes now counted in South Africa, the governing ANC has 57% of the share of the vote. The ANC lost ground but it is still celebrating.

Why?

It's a question many people are asking. This is the first time the party that has led South Africa since 1994 has won less than 60% of votes, but for an organisation that is hugely divided, riddled by corruption and has had a decade of lethargic leadership, this result is seen as a boost for its new leader Cyril Ramaphosa.

Many people see this as the ANC's last chance to redeem itself.

Mr Ramaphosa took over the party in December 2017, after the ANC sacked Jacob Zuma, embroiled in corruption allegations, which he denies.

One of its senior members, Fikile Mbalula, said the party's share of votes "would have probably dropped to 40%" had its leadership not changed.

But the ANC shouldn't celebrate too soon.

The people of South Africa may have given the ANC a mandate to lead, but it is not unconditional.

The last decade has been damaging to the party's reputation and has alienated millions of South Africans who are desperate for their conditions to improve, and had trusted the ANC to do that, but instead they got worse.

Growth has been slow here, millions are unemployed and society remains hugely unequal.

Now begins a tough juggling act for Mr Ramaphosa - the act of restoring confidence in his government and more importantly delivering on his promise to fight corruption.

The ANC has been accused of putting its own survival ahead of the interests of the country. How Mr Ramaphosa chooses his cabinet will be the first indication of whether that has changed.

Nearly 900 children who were part of a militia helping to fight Islamist militant group Boko Haram have been freed, the UN says., external

In a statement, it says that 106 girls were among the 894 children released by the pro-government Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) "as part of its commitment to end and prevent the recruitment and use of children".

The CJTF supports the army in its fight against Boko Haram.

“Any commitment for children that is matched with action is a step in the right direction for the protection of children’s rights and must be recognised and encouraged,” said Mohamed Fall from the UN's children's agency, Unicef.

“Children of north-east Nigeria have borne the brunt of this conflict," he added.

"They have been used by armed groups in combatant and non-combatant roles and witnessed death, killing and violence."

The UN says that those freed will take part in reintegration programmes to help ease back into civilian life.
