«Au moins, on a la paix» : rentrés au Malawi, ils témoignent des violences xénophobes en Afrique du Sud
En Afrique du Sud, les violences xénophobes se poursuivent. Cette semaine, de nouvelles marches se sont transformées en chasse aux étrangers, avec violences, intimidations et arrestations arbitraires. Plusieurs dizaines de milliers de ressortissants étrangers ont déjà fui le pays. Un immense camp de réfugiés à été installé au nord du pays pour coordonner les rapatriements. La plupart sont originaires du Malawi. De retour dans ce pays, dans leur village, deux amis témoignent du climat de violence croissant en Afrique du Sud.
Mbappé meilleur buteur de l'histoire du Mondial, en attendant Messi ?
Malgré la défaite face à l'Angleterre en petite finale, le capitaine français Kylian Mbappé a continué d'écrire son histoire en Coupe du monde en inscrivant un nouveau doublé le 18 juillet à Miami. L'attaquant des Bleus a pris la tête du classement des buteurs de cette édition (10 buts) tout en devenant également le meilleur buteur de l'histoire de la Coupe du monde (22 buts) avant la finale disputée ce dimanche par Lionel Messi, son dauphin au classement.
Open at Royal Birkdale: Burns leads, as SA golfers fall out of the mix
South African golf fans will seemingly have to wait a little longer for this country’s next Major golf champion. slot-chickenroad.org
Not one of the five South Africans who made the halfway cut at the Open Championship being played at Royal Birkdale in west England are likely to challenge for the Claret Jug on Sunday.
The last time a South African won a Major title was in 2012 when Ernie Els triumphed at the Open at Royal Lytham and St Annes.
The best-placed South Africans after the third round on Saturday are Casey Jarvis and Hennie du Plessis, who are tied for 29th on a score of two-under-par, eight shots off the leader.
Jarvis shot a third round 68 on Saturday and will hope to move further up the leaderboard during the final round, as will Du Plessis, whose steady consistent golf should bring him good reward after the tournament. He shot 69 on Saturday.
Shaun Norris is on a total of one-under-par after an even-par round on Saturday. He is tied 38th at the moment.
MJ Daffue, who fell back after recording a two-over-par 72 on Saturday, is down in a tie for 58th place.
Further back is Aldrich Potgieter, who shot a 71 in his third round, to be on a total of two-over-par and tied 64th.
The three other South Africans who teed it up on Thursday and Friday, but failed to make the cut, are amateur Jack Buchanan, Michael Hollick and Jayden Schaper.
Burns leads the way
Leading the Open after the third round on 10-under-par is American Sam Burns.
After recording a fabulous record equalling Major low round of 62 on Friday, Burns went round the course in 65 blows on Saturday. He made six birdies and one bogey. His opening round Thursday was a 73.
Two strokes back on eight-under-par are Ryan Fox and Si Woo Kim.
Fox, out early in the day, shot the third 62 of the tournament, following Lucas Herbert and Burns, while Kim went round in 67 shots.
Ryan Gerard and Herbert are tied fourth on seven-under-par, while three players are at minus six, including Bryson DeChambeau.
Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is on a total of four-under-par, six off the leader Burns.
Un incident à la frontière entre le Sénégal et la Gambie ravive les tensions diplomatiques
Le jeudi 16 juillet, des éléments de l’armée sénégalaise ont procédé à la démolition d’un mur de clôture d’un poste militaire gambien, près de la frontière entre les deux pays, à Bulock, au sud-ouest de la Gambie, débutant un incident diplomatique. Les deux gouvernements ont appelé au calme et à la responsabilité, mais ont maintenu leur droit de regard sur cette partie de la frontière entre les deux pays dont la paternité reste un sujet de tension.
André the Giant targets All Blacks return
The Springboks have received a timely injury boost after André Esterhuizen avoided surgery on his fractured cheekbone, keeping alive his hopes of facing the All Blacks next month.
While the powerful midfielder is expected to miss the Boks’ next Test against Argentina in Buenos Aires on 8 August, Rapport says he remains on track for the opening Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Test at Ellis Park on 22 August.
Esterhuizen suffered the injury during the Boks’ victory over England at Ellis Park, leaving the field just 10 minutes into the match.
Initial fears centred on concussion, but blood coming from the 32-year-old’s ear later revealed he had fractured his cheekbone.
According to Rapport, Esterhuizen is expected to spend at least four weeks on the sidelines, but the fact he will not require surgery significantly improves his chances of returning in time for the blockbuster showdown with New Zealand.

Erasmus confirmed after the Boks’ win against Wales that a reduced squad of 26 or 27 players will travel to Buenos Aires, with a sizeable group remaining at home to prepare for New Zealand’s arrival.
“The important thing is that we don’t want players travelling to Argentina while New Zealand are playing against our franchises, and then flying back while the Kiwis are getting used to South African conditions before the first Test,” Erasmus explained.
“We’ll leave 15, 16 or 17 players behind – depending on injuries – to start preparing for New Zealand.”
