The apology arrives. Sometimes it comes with genuine remorse and sometimes with the particular urgency of someone who has realised what they are about to lose. Either way it lands with weight and for a moment it feels like something has shifted. Then comes the harder part. The part nobody prepares you for. Because an apology is not a repair. It is the beginning of one and the distance between those two things is where most reconciliation attempts quietly fail.

Nigerian singer AfroReekAH is releasing her new EP, REEPLAY, out now. Born Ogechukwu Obi-Benson, the artist says the project marks a specific point in her development. “REEPLAY is a body of work that reflects where I am creatively at this point in my journey, sonically, visually, and as an artist,” she told Khusoko. “The project explores love, desire, vulnerability, confidence and self-discovery, while blending Afropop, Afrobeats and AfroFusion into a world that feels distinctly ReekAH.” Where Nigerian music stands right now The release lands at a turning point for Afrobeats.

Kenya’s maize harvest has taken its steepest hit in years. The United States Department of Agriculture has cut its forecast for the 2026/27 marketing year by 51 percent, down to 2.2 million metric tons, after a dry spell scorched the country’s main grain counties between June and July. The shortfall forces the government into a difficult calculation. To keep maize meal and bread supplies steady, Kenya now needs to import a record 2.3 million metric tons of corn, according to the latest Grain and Feed report from the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service in Nairobi, dated August 28. Wheat has fared…

The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union has given the national government seven days to resolve the nurses’ strike, warning that doctors will join the walkout if the standoff continues. KMPDU Secretary General Dr Davji Bhimji Atellah said the strike has disrupted essential health services nationwide and pushed public hospitals into severe constraint. “Essential services have been disrupted. There is no better way to say that patients going to hospital who need nursing care cannot get it, and nursing care is key for any health service to be functional,” Atellah said. “Today we have 40 days in our public…

I&M Group has already crossed a target it set for 2026, reporting that its sustainability programmes reached 11.1 million lives across East Africa by the close of 2025, a full year ahead of schedule. The regional lender is now recalibrating toward a bigger goal: touching more than 50 million lives by 2030. The milestone sits inside a wider push to widen access to credit for small business. Financing to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) climbed to Ksh.18.3 billion in 2025, up from Ksh.13 billion the year before, a jump of 41 per cent. Digital lending nearly doubled, rising to…
