EFF leader Julius Malema is ejected from South Africa's parliament for calling deputy president a 'murderer'.

A new species of human ancestor has been discovered at the Cradle of Humankind.

Somalia welcomes the reopening of the US embassy in the Horn of Africa.

Julius Malema, leader of the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, was thrown out of the South African parliament on Wednesday after he called Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa a "murderer".

Malema was ejected from the chamber after he refused to withdraw his comments, saying he would “never apologise to Cyril".

Malema and his party accuse Ramaphosa of having a hand in the 2012 killing of 34 striking miners who were gunned down by police near the Marikana mine operated by platinum producer Lonmin. Ramaphosa was a director at Lonmin at the time.

House chairperson Mmatlala Grace Boroto ruled that Malema's remarks were derogatory and asked him to leave.

Malema refused, prompting her to call the Seargant at Arms to remove him. This caused a brief scuffle around the EFF benches as Malema was pulled away by security guards.

The history of humankind has changed with the discovery of a new human ancestor, Homo naledi, in the Cradle of Humankind, it was announced on Thursday.

Some 1 550 fossils were found in a cave and there are thousands more still there. The find includes 15 individuals – eight children and five adults.

The most interesting part about the discovery is that these bodies were carried into the cave or thrown into the cave. This means that Homo naledi had an understanding of death, Professor Lee Berger said at the Cradle of Humankind.

Somalia has welcomed the reopening of a US diplomatic mission in the Horn of Africa country. This is more than two decades after it withdrew from there.

An ambassador is still to be appointed for the mission, which will initially be located in neighbouring Kenya.
The establishment of the mission heralds "a new dawn" in bilateral relations "as Somalia moves towards peace and prosperity," President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke said in a joint statement.

"US officials will continue to travel to Somalia to conduct official business as security conditions permit," the US Department of State said on announcing the opening of the embassy on Tuesday.
