South Africa election: Mbeki promises to rid ANC of 'rotten apples': South Africa's former president hits out at corruption within the governing party.
bbc.com/news/articles/cd18rkxx64no
Quick Glance: Support for South Africa's ANC around 40% before elections
- An Ipsos poll revealed that support for South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) has dropped to just over 40%, weeks before an election that could bring about significant political change.
- While the ANC is still expected to secure the most votes on May 29, falling below 50% would require seeking coalition partners to govern, marking the first such alliance since Nelson Mandela led the party to power 30 years ago.
- The survey was based on face-to-face interviews with 2,545 registered voters across all nine provinces in March and April, boasting a margin of error of 1.9% at a 95% confidence level.
- The poll also highlighted rising voter discontent due to issues like unemployment, corruption, crime, and poor services, with the ANC considering potential coalition partners such as the economically liberal DA and the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

apnews.com/article/menthol-ban-fda-biden-cigarettes-smokers-e9a28fb0ac70fcb0ad8e106c42d4c951
Quick Glance: Biden administration faces delays in menthol cigarettes ban
- The planned implementation of a ban on menthol cigarettes in the US is expected to take 'significantly more time,' according to US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement on Friday.
- In April 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially announced the ban on the popular mint flavor, setting a deadline for August 2023. Final rules were sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review in October, with the status listed as 'pending.'
- According to the proposed FDA regulations, the manufacturing and sale of menthols would be prohibited, without direct regulation of smokers themselves.
- A prohibition on menthol cigarettes could potentially save up to 650,000 lives over the next 40 years, with a third of these lives being saved within the black community, as stated by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

reut.rs/4bawEqO
Quick Glance: US FDA issues warning to Cardinal Health for marketing unauthorized devices
- Following an inspection of its facility in Illinois, the US health regulatory body issued a warning letter to Cardinal Health for marketing and distributing unauthorized devices from a Chinese manufacturer.
- In 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration advised against using certain syringes manufactured in China due to reports of leaks, breakages, and quality issues, and recently expanded the guidelines.
- Cardinal has not responded to a request for comment from Reuters. The inspection revealed that Cardinal was importing two types of syringes under the Monoject brand.
- These syringes are utilized for injecting or withdrawing fluids from the body, as well as administering fluids or medications through a patient's feeding tube. In November, the agency cautioned healthcare providers and facilities against using Cardinal's Monoject syringes with pain management and syringe pumps.
