Politics News in Africa – Latest Updates and Insights

Welcome to the politics hub of Eco News Africa. Here you’ll find the freshest stories about what’s happening in governments, elections, policies, and protests across the continent. We keep it short, clear, and useful so you can stay informed without scrolling through endless feeds.

Every day we publish pieces on everything from presidential elections in Kenya to new tax rules in South Africa. Our goal is to give you the facts you need to understand how decisions in capitals affect your life, your business, and your community.

Why African Politics Matters

Politics shapes the economy, the environment, and the everyday services you rely on. When a country rolls out a new renewable energy plan, it can lower electricity costs and create jobs. When a government changes immigration rules, it can affect labor markets and family reunions.

Take the recent SASSA deadline for grant recipients. It impacts over 200,000 South Africans who need to report extra income or risk losing benefits. Stories like that show how policy directly touches ordinary people.

Another example is the UK’s tightened skilled‑worker visa rules for 2025. Although it’s a British policy, it influences African professionals who aim to work abroad, affecting brain‑gain and remittances back home.
