Partners in arms - and in love
Article Abstract:
There have been rumours for some time that South African president Nelson Mandela, who has now divorced Winnie, his second wife, has formed a romantic attachment with Graca Michel, wife of Samora Machel, the late president of Mozambique. This relationship has now been made public, but there are no marriage plans. Both are legendary figures in Africa, having struggled separately against the white minority government in South Africa. Their relationship will be almost unanimously welcomed in South Africa.

The homecoming
Article Abstract:
Ethnic Albanians who were forced by the Serbs from their homes in Kosovo, Albania, and spent time in refugee camps in Macedonia before being evacuated to the UK are now beginning to return to Kosovo. Bajram Morina and his family, who have now returned to Kosovo after spending four months in Bury, England, are extremely grateful that they were offered temporary refuge in the UK. However, they are also very glad to be home, even though there is extensive devastation in Kosovo.

No place to call home
Article Abstract:
Homeless families who are forced to live in temporary accommodation must often endure very difficult conditions. Large families must live in only one or two rooms, and must often share facilities such as bathrooms and kitchens with other families. This can cause tension within the family, especially if children have nowhere to play. These families must often wait many years before receiving more suitable accommodation.
