Why Some Nairobi CBD Zebra Crossings Are Painted Pink

Three zebra crossings in Nairobi’s CBD, near City Hall, the Supreme Court and the Kenya National Archives, were painted pink in October 2026.

Louga: Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia Confirmed in Goats

After several weeks of unusual goat deaths, particularly in the Niayes area, laboratory analyses confirmed contagious caprine pleuropneumonia in the department of Kébémer, in the Louga region. Aya Ndiaye, head of Louga’s Departmental Livestock and Animal Production Service, told the APS that the alert followed a report from the president of a cooperative in Thieppe, and samples were collected in several localities, including Léona. Small-ruminant pasteurellosis was initially suspected but was not confirmed. The disease is highly contagious and can devastate herds, but poses no danger to humans; livestock services urge farmers to monitor animals and report suspected cases promptly.

Kompany hospitalised after collapsing at Bayern training ground

Vincent Kompany was reportedly taken to hospital on Friday after collapsing at Bayern Munich’s training ground on Säbener Straße. German media said the 40-year-old Belgian manager had been suffering from a viral infection that caused leg problems and difficulty climbing stairs; he was reported to be stable, though the circumstances of the collapse remained unclear. After missing training and a press conference, he had managed Bayern’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal despite being ill. His availability for Sunday’s Bundesliga match against Freiburg was uncertain, and assistant coach Aaron Danks could take charge.

Kongo-Central Veterinary Clinic threatened by sale of plots on its grounds

The Kongo-Central Provincial Veterinary Clinic could lose its grounds as the YMCA sells plots from the site. Boniface Phanzu, head of the provincial Fisheries and Livestock Division, is urging authorities to intervene and questions the sales; a land-sharing document reportedly allocates 60% of the property to the YMCA and 40% to the provincial government. He suggests giving the YMCA another site and reserving the remaining land for the National Institute of Biomedical Research (INRB) to establish a veterinary biomedical testing laboratory and strengthen surveillance of diseases that spread between animals and humans. The area involved and the number of plots sold were not specified.
