I primarily worked with our church's preschool but also taught Sunday School, led the...

By Mantoe Phakathi MBABANE, Nov 12 (IPS) - It is one of the world's oldest professions, dating so far back that it is even mentioned in the Bible.

Msane spoke out against arresting sex workers, when she said government should...

I am grateful to Simon Mann and Mark Thatcher for one thing. They have made it marginally easier to remember the capitals of smaller African countries, a subset of general knowledge of which I am fond but in which I am deficient. There is a better chance now that Malabo will stick in my mind, not least because I know that it is on the island of Bioko, formerly Fernando Po, which is part of the territory...

"We have suspended our disengagement from the government with immediate effect," said Tsvangirai after an emergency regional summit in Maputo, Mozambique. But he presented Mugabe with a new ultimatum. "We...

Mozambican leader Armando Guebuza held one-on-one talks with Zimbabwe's veteran President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader who joined a unity government in February. After their...

One such plant product is marula oil, which is extracted from the fruit kernels of the marula tree, native to southern Africa.
