I have worked on Ebola outbreaks for more than 30 years. I have never stopped feeling the weight of each life lost. Yesterday I stood before more than 40 African Ministers and said what the data tells us: we are not winning so far. 10,172 confirmed cases. 4,932 people gone. I said it live and in the open. That is the only way to fight an outbreak like this. What gives me hope is that no Minister looked away. Together, we agreed to prepare every country, coordinate across our borders and keep those borders open while watching them closely. Our partners are standing behind Africa’s plan. Ebola anywhere in Africa demands preparedness everywhere in Africa. We will get there, together. --- Je travaille sur les Γ©pidΓ©mies d’Ebola depuis plus de 30 ans. Je n’ai jamais cessΓ© de ressentir le poids de chaque vie perdue. Hier, devant plus de 40 Ministres africains, j’ai dit ce que nous montrent les donnΓ©es : nous ne gagnons pas encore. 10 172 cas confirmΓ©s. 4 932 personnes disparues. Je l’ai dit en direct et en toute transparence. C’est la seule maniΓ¨re de combattre une Γ©pidΓ©mie comme celle-ci. Ce qui me donne de l’espoir, c’est qu’aucun Ministre n’a dΓ©tournΓ© le regard. Ensemble, nous avons convenu de prΓ©parer chaque pays, de coordonner nos efforts au-delΓ  des frontiΓ¨res et de garder ces frontiΓ¨res ouvertes sous haute vigilance. Nos partenaires se tiennent aux cΓ΄tΓ©s du plan de l’Afrique. Ebola, oΓΉ qu’il soit en Afrique, exige une prΓ©paration partout en Afrique. Nous y arriverons, ensemble. ▢️ ow.ly/mgcu5101Uhp #Ebola #AfricaReady #AfricaResponds

I am pleased to announce that Government is targeting the construction of at least 1 350 schools from November 2026, backed by over US$600 million, to eliminate the national school infrastructure deficit by 2029. Every child deserves a safe, decent place to learn.

You hear Xenophobes lime that lady saying the serial killer and rapist is a foreigner. Watch this clip. Femicide and rape is part of you guys. Shame on yoo for failing to protect women and girls. Shame on you for normalising femicide and rape. Shame on you a million times!
this is an interview from 2015, where ross kemp speaks to three south african men about rape, consent and their attitudes towards sexual violence. the worst part is how little of this sounds dated.

How much do we really know about Zimbabwe’s law when rape results in pregnancy? Did Clause 11 change the law? Can a survivor simply access a termination?

Zimbabwe's child-centred HIV care model is attracting international attention. At #AIDS2026 in Rio de Janeiro, Bantwana Zimbabwe showcased how its HIV-sensitive case management approach is improving outcomes for children and adolescents living with HIV through integrated health, family and community support. With children still lagging behind adults in HIV diagnosis and treatment, could this be one of the models Africa needs to scale?
