But his main political opponent was not included. Can there be a compromise deal without the participation of Venancio Mondlane? Why do so many African women die of breast cancer? It is now one of the top causes of cancer deaths on the continent. Cancer specialists met in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, to discuss how to bring the numbers down. And why has a move towards a royal divorce caused a scandal in the Zulu kingdom?
