Flood waters continue to rise in Mozambique

Newsday

Available for over a year

Flood waters are still rising in Mozambique in the wake of Cyclone Idai, submerging large swathes of the country. Rescue work has continued overnight to reach those who've been left stranded. MySpace, one of the first online social networks, has apologised after a server migration caused a huge loss of data. A message on its website says that "any photos, videos and audio files" uploaded more than three years ago may no longer be available. Do you need to expand your political vocabulary of African English? A "Dictionary of African Politics" has been released and might just do the trick. An unconventional compilation of political figures and terminology, it includes terms such as "don't kubeba", "legislooters" and "Rhodes must fall".
