Bad Black is a student not brand ambassador, says Victoria University

Victoria University has cleared the air about the alleged appointment of socialite Shanita Namuyimbwa also known as Bad Black as their brand ambassador. Followed with photos, Bad Black on Monday took to social media to boast that she had been appointed the university brand ambassador, a move that has attracted a backlash from commentators. In a statement released on Tuesday, the university said Namuyimbwa sought their services so as to better herself. “Ms.Shanitah Namuyimbwa came to Victoria University with an overwhelming desire to better herself and become a decent contributing member of society and a role model to her children.

WHO Reports Shortfall of 500 Million COVID-19 Vaccines Supply to Africa

According to WHO, the COVAX Facility has slashed planned COVID-19 vaccine deliveries to Africa by around 150 million this year which means the continent faces almost 500 million doses short of the global year-end target of fully vaccinating 40% of its population. With the cutback, Dr Moeti Matshidiso the WHO Africa boss says COVAX is now expected to deliver 470 million doses to Africa this year. These will be enough to vaccinate just 17% of the population. An additional 470 million doses are needed to reach the end-year target even if all planned shipments via COVAX and the African Union are delivered. “Export bans and vaccine hoarding have a chokehold on vaccine supplies to Africa.
