The arrival of a Cuban medical mission in Kenya was met by a storm of protest from health professionals who claimed local jobs could be put at risk. But, as Rich Warner points out, these fears are unfounded. The Cuban doctors will be sent to rural, under-served areas where local doctors often refuse to work.
One of South Africa’s most respected photographers, David Goldblatt, has died at the age of 87. While his work focused on the horrors of apartheid, it spoke with such a universal language that it resonated around the world. Paul Weinberg writes that as a humanist, the complex Goldblatt was never comfortable about the world around him.
