Strand square renamed to honour Muslim community displaced under apartheid

Ben Friedman Square was renamed Strand Muslim Community Square at a ceremony on 28 October attended by Cape Town Deputy Mayor Eddie Andrews, faith leaders and residents. The change, sought by Strand’s Muslim community, honours families forcibly removed in the 1970s when the town was classified as a white-only resort, while their mosque remained standing. The square, which has three mosques, holds historical significance for a community that marked its 200th anniversary in 2023. The City Council approved the new name on 30 July 2026 after public consultation that received 193 comments, 54 of them opposing the change.

Benin: Government Announces Surprise Inspections to End Illegal School Fees

They must prohibit collections beyond approved school fees, stop requirements to buy or wear badges, and conduct surprise inspections. The ministry says some students have been sent home for being unable to pay these unofficial charges and stresses that no student should be turned away for financial reasons without the administration being informed. The directives come as girls from sixth grade through the final year of secondary school are set to receive free schooling in public institutions from the 2026–27 school year.
