Malawi’s participation in the 2026 Miss World competition has ended with a historic result for the country, but the controversy surrounding who represented the nation continues to attract attention. First runner-up Ireen Navicha represented Malawi at the pageant in Vietnam instead of reigning Miss Malawi Thandi Chisi, who won the national title in December 2025. Navicha, who is the daughter of Malawi’s Cabinet Minister Mary Navicha, eventually reached the Top 40 before being eliminated on September 5. Her achievement nevertheless marked Malawi’s best-ever performance at Miss World, as she became the first representative from the country to reach that stage…

Christmas is one of the world’s most widely celebrated holidays. For Christians, it commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, while in many countries it has also developed into a broader cultural and family celebration. Unlike Easter, which moves from year to year, Christmas Day is fixed on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar. What changes each year is the day of the week on which December 25 falls. For people planning holidays, church services, family gatherings, travel, business activities and other seasonal events, knowing the day of the week can be useful. Below is a complete 100-year Christmas calendar covering…

Easter is one of the most important celebrations in Christianity. It commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and is observed by Christians across the world. Unlike Christmas, which falls on December 25 every year, Easter does not have a fixed calendar date. Its date changes from year to year because it is determined through a traditional ecclesiastical calculation involving the solar calendar and the lunar cycle. For Christians planning church services, family gatherings, travel, holidays and other Easter activities, knowing the date in advance can be useful. The table below provides the dates for Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter…

Most people know Citizen Kafui as the communications mind behind some of Ghana’s biggest entertainment stories. Others know him as the media relations professional trusted by award-winning singer Gyakie. But before the interviews, the press releases, and the headlines, he was simply a young man with love for computers and after studying network administration at IPMC, took to GBC Obonu Fm for his attahment as an IT support technician. Born Bernard Kafui Gablah, Citizen Kafui’s career has been anything but conventional. While many communications professionals begin in journalism or public relations, his journey started in information technology, a foundation that…

On Saturday, 29th August 2026, Agape Arts Production made history once again. The Girl Everyone Talked About, Ghana’s third Theatre in a Bus edition, delivered three powerful performances at the National Theatre, Accra, that left audiences speechless, moved, and in some cases standing. Literally. The final show of the night saw an overflow audience boarding the moving clinic bus, with some viewers standing throughout the performance rather than miss a moment of what unfolded inside. It was a fitting climax to a night that had already been building in intensity since the first showing. By the time the third and…

Almost everyone has had the experience: you walk into a room, hear a snippet of conversation, or take a particular turn on a familiar street, and suddenly a wave of certainty washes over you — I’ve been here before, in this exact moment. Yet, when you try to recall when or how, nothing surfaces. This eerie sensation is known as déjà vu, a French term meaning “already seen.” Despite being one of the most universally recognized quirks of human memory, déjà vu remains only partially understood by science. This article explores what researchers currently know — and don’t know —…

When people think about internet activity, they usually imagine people. Someone is searching Google, watching YouTube, reading an article, shopping online, posting on social media or sending a message. But humans are only responsible for part of what happens online. A huge amount of internet activity is generated automatically by software. These automated programs are commonly called bots. Some bots are useful, such as search-engine crawlers. Others are used for advertising, monitoring, data collection or artificial intelligence (AI). Some are malicious and are designed for fraud, attacks, account takeovers or other harmful activities. So, how much of the internet is…

Have you ever searched for a pair of shoes online and then noticed advertisements for shoes appearing on other websites? Or perhaps you read several articles about cars and suddenly your social-media feed seems to contain more car-related content. These experiences can make it seem as though websites know exactly what you are thinking. They do not. Websites generally cannot read your thoughts or automatically know everything you are interested in. Instead, they collect and analyse information about your online activity and use that information to make predictions about what you might like, need or do next. This process is…
