    Niger Delta avengers suffer heavy death toll as army bombs bases of militants campaigning to cripple Nigeria’s oil industry. Graft-weakened ANC in battle for survival as South Africans prepare to turn Wednesday’s elections into a referendum on President Jacob Zuma.

    We begin in Nigeria, where the national dailies look at the crackdown by security forces on the suspected masterminds of last week’s attacks in parts of Lagos and Ogun states.

    Punch reports that no fewer than 100 people suspected to be militants have been reportedly killed as the Nigerian military on Saturday continued the aerial bombardment of Fatola, the base of militants and pipeline vandals in the Arepo area of Ogun State.

    Meanwhile, the Vanguard says that ethnic Ijaw people Lagos and Ogun states have started relocating from the two states, to the South-South for fear of attack following the expiration of the ultimatum issued to Ijaws issued by the Reformed Odua Peoples Congress, who announced it was about to declare a Republic of Niger Delta this Monday.

    The newspaper however reports that despite the extremely tense situation, the spokesman for the prominent Ijaw Youth Council Eric Omare denied there were plans by the Ijaw people to declare a republic.

    According to Vanguard, Omare has warned so-called “groups and individuals not to further expose Ijaw and Niger Delta communities to unnecessary tension and danger and to stop abusing the internet and social media to the detriment of our communities by issuing unnecessary threats and ultimatums”.




    In related development , the Sun says that some of the militants and pipeline vandals within Arepo, Ogun State and parts of Lagos State, have restated their commitment to surrender arms to the Federal Government.

    The paper quotes leaders of the Ijaw militant group, called Forest Soldiers as saying that they were purely agitators and not kidnappers.

    Several Nigerian dailies publish a shocking photograph of Nollywood actor, Ani Iyoho, who suffered third degree burns while performing fire stunts during a movie shoot.

    E-news reports that while Ani was burning as a result of the fire stunt gone bad, the fire extinguisher on set malfunctioned and was unable to put out the fire.

    Shockingly, the movie director, Stanley Ohikhuare, continued filming with the intention of including the fire incident in the actual movie.

    In South Africa Mail and Guardian plays back the resounding “ooohs and aahs resonating from the Senyanqoba rally” of the ruling African National Congress as President Jacob Zuma wrapped up his party’s campaign for Wednesday’s local elections.

    According to the paper, despite the factions and serious allegations that have “soured the organization in the eyes of many South Africans, some are keeping the hope that the party is greater than one man’s mistakes.

    News 24 has a run down of the key municipalities to watch in the elections.

    The paper explains that while the ANC has traditionally done very well in rural South Africa, racking up huge victories in almost all rural municipalities outside of the Western Cape and the Zululand region of KZN it is likely to win again but with somewhat diminished margins.

    Times Live says Nelson Mandela will be at the centre of the election battle on Wednesday with not only political parties fighting over the use of his name, but the the political future of Nelson Mandela Bay, in Eastern Cape, hanging in the balance.

    According to the paper, a survey by the main opposition Democratic Alliance reveals that the movement is running neck-and-neck with the ANC in Nelson Mandela Bay, with 48% and 47% respectively.

    This, as the paper lends credence to allegations of behind the scenes talks of the DA forming a coalition to govern the city with whoever joins it in dethroning the ANC.

    The Star highlights allegations of “electrickery” dogging the ruling African National Council in a key constituency.

    According to the paper residents of township of Thembelihle near the former exclusively Indian township of Lenasia have accused President Jacob Zuma of using an electricity project as a political ploy to garner votes in the area.

    The Star says residents don’t expect the project to be completed soon as it was moving at a snail’s pace, leaving many still in the dark.

    Kenya’s Daily Nation sees the South African local elections as a referendum on President Jacob Zuma, with the stalling economy overshadowing progress made since the end of apartheid.




    According to the newspaper, Zuma’s African National Congress, which controls the majority of the 278 municipalities, has been weakened by graft scandals and growing public discontent since it led the fight that ended white-minority rule in 1994.

    Meanwhile, Standard Digital takes up athe mass opposition rally in Kinshasa on Sunday, to press demands for President Joseph kabila to step down when his mandate ends in December.

    According to the paper, the protest was galvanized by the return to the country of the main opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi, last week after two years of medical treatment in Europe.

    The vote is due on Nov. 27 but as the paper observes, Kabila’s government has said logistical problems are likely to delay it and has not set a new date.

    Standard says foreign donors fear political tensions could easily lead to ethnic strife and foreign interference driven by competition over its fabulous mineral wealth has bloodied it for two decades.

    And from Uganda, the Daily Monitor leads with a line from Pope Francis as he flew home on Sunday at the end of his five-day trip to Poland for a Catholic youth festival.

    According to the paper, in a chat with journalists aboard the papal plane en route to Rome, Francis refused to equate Islam with terrorism and warned that Europe was pushing its young into the hands of extremists. And
