Mashup Score: 66Crucial lessons for global health in Rwanda’s rapid response to Marburg virus outbreak - 3 month(s) ago
There is a remarkable story behind the way in which a lower-middle-income country, Rwanda, managed to contain an outbreak of one of the world’s most feared high-consequence pathogens, the Marburg virus.

Mashup Score: 6How Mandela, and a cup of tea, stole an Afrikaner general's heart - 10 month(s) ago

Former Statistician-General Dr Pali Lehohla believes the past 15 years have been marked by a reversal of South Africa’s democratic gains. Next year’s elections should be postponed, he argues, to hold Codesa-like discussions on the country’s future.
