Sports Betting in Cameroon: Uncertainty Over Licensed Operators and Tax Revenue

Benin: “Panier minute” challenge stops in Porto-Novo

After Cotonou’s Ganhi market, Porto-Novo’s Ouando market hosted the “Panier minute” challenge as part of Local Consumption Month. Participants had 10,000 CFA francs and 60 seconds to fill a basket with local products, including rice, cassava flour, smoked fish and fruit. One winner arrived with 1,500 CFA francs and left with purchases valued at 11,500 CFA francs, including a 10,000-franc prize won in the game. Women at the event welcomed the initiative but called for local-product promotion to continue beyond October and for more affordable prices on some Beninese goods, such as pasta.

Kasai: Maize prices double in Kamuesha

Residents hope prices will fall, but local sources have not specified what caused the increase.
