Professor Sean Davison was reunited with his family in South Africa on 2 May 2012 after serving a five-month house arrest sentence for the assisted suicide of his terminally ill 85-year-old mother in New Zealand, in a case which ignited the euthanasia debate.

The right to die by means of assisted suicide - or euthanasia - is against the law in South Africa. This is despite a High Court ruling last year, which granted a retired advocate suffering from cancer the right to medically-assisted suicide. But the advocate died just hours before the court order was handed down.

Helping a terminally ill loved one die, according to South African law, is criminally prosecutable and illegal. Dignity South Africa are proposing a change to this law by supporting a bill that will allow assisted death to sound-minded terminally ill patients who have a life expectancy of 12 months or fewer.

Euthanasia is a controversial subject, with most countries considering it a criminal act. South Africa's Anglican archbishop emeritus Desmond Tutu on Sunday said he supported assisted dying for the terminally ill.

Metro police will oversee a court-ordered inspection of the Duduzane Zuma crash site on Friday morning. But the prosecution insists it will do everything possible to ensure traffic on the M1 highway near Grayston Drive won’t be disrupted.

Duduzane Zuma will be charged with culpable homicide. This is for a 2014 accident, that resulted in the deaths of two people.

An inquest into whether former president Jacob Zuma’s son is criminally liable in the death of a woman has raised serious questions about Gauteng’s e-tolls. Roads agency Sanral was asked to provide information that could have proved whether Duduzane Zuma was speeding on the night he crashed into a taxi. The data, which relates to the malfunctioning of at least one gantry, is now casting doubt over the accuracy of the entire system and by extension, e-toll bills.

Deputy Minister of Finance Mcebisi Jonas has broken his silence on being offered the head of SA's Finance Ministry by the controversial Gupta family, and not by President Jacob Zuma.

It has been reported that factions within the ANC have been meeting to discuss potential replacements for Finance Minister, Nhlanhla Nene. And former Deputy Finance Minister, Mcebisi Jonas, is thought to be a frontrunner.

Responding to a question in Parliament by Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane regarding the claim by deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas that the Gupta family had offered him the position of finance minister‚ Zuma said if Jonas said that‚ he and the Guptas should be asked the question. “Ask them. Don’t ask me‚” said Zuma‚ querying where he came in. “I am in charge. No minister was ever appointed by the Guptas or anyone else. I appoint the ministers‚” he added.

- Many South Africans appear divided over whether Nhlanhla Nene should resign. The Finance minister has reportedly asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to fire him.

In South Africa, land is a key issue ahead of the ruling party's national conference. The African National Congress is proposing that land expropriation without compensation should be allowed where “necessary and unavoidable”.

The final day of the Parliamentary hearings on land came to a close in Thohoyandou, Limpopo on Saturday. In what was billed as a platform for all residents to air their views on amending section 25 of the Constitution, there was clear agreement among the community on the question of land. With supporters from all the major South African political parties out in full force, it was largely both black and white members of the Democratic Alliance (DA) that seemed not to support the call to expropriate land without compensation.

Twenty-five years after the end of apartheid, land remains one of the most divisive issues in South Africa. The vast majority of the best land is still owned by white farmers. The governing African National Congress wants to change this, but it would require contentious amendments to the constitution.

Amnesty warns of 'horrific' violence in Cameroon's anglophone regions

Over 40, 000 anglophone Cameroonians have fled into Nigeria to escape a brutal crackdown onan armed seperatist movement. Since 2016, the crisis has escalated from original calls for more English language representation in the francophone majority nation. In an unfamiliar country with few ressources, many refugees struggle to find water, shelter and food

As Cameroon nears presidential elections on October 7, calls for an independent state in the English-speaking western regions of the country continue to grow. So, what’s behind the Anglophone crisis in the central African nation?

Cameroonians will head to the polls in the coming hours for the country's presidential election. Opposition parties are scrambling to get their supporters out to vote, as they look to unseat incumbent President Paul Biya. Although one of the nine candidates dropped out and urged his supporters to back the opposition party, the Cameroon Resistance Movement, the opposition in Cameroon still seems too divided to defeat Africa's longest-serving president.

Campaigning is under way for Cameroon's presidential elections, which are set for October 7. President Paul Biya, who has been in power since 1982, is seeking re-election despite protests and increasing calls for autonomy in the Anglophone part of the country.

In Cameroon, hundreds of people have died and thousands were forced to flee their homes after almost two years of conflict between English and French speakers. Recent presidential elections have only increased tensions.

Polling stations opened at 8am (07:00GMT) and will close at 6pm (17:00GMT) with more than six million people eligible to cast their ballots. Biya, 85, faces an attempt by the opposition parties to forge a unified front under Maurice Kamto, leader of the Movement for the Rebirth of Cameroon (MRC). Biya has been in power since 1982, making him one of Africa's longest-serving rulers. The election campaign was marked by violent clashes between security officials and opposition party supporters. The growing fight over language in an officially bilingual country has killed hundreds of people and sent more than 200,000 people fleeing Cameroon's southwest and northwest regions.

Cameroon will go to the polls on October 7, 2018, in what is now termed one of the most uncertain and dreaded presidential elections the country has witnessed. The 2018 presidential race will take place in a delicate and volatile context, where fear is rife that the nation could slide into a civil war as violence continues in the Southwest and Northwest regions. Ahead of the Sunday Poll, here’s a look of how the presidential race is shaping up.

Conflict in Western Cameroon has forced hundreds of thousands of people out of their homes. English speakers in the region are demanding independence from a Francophone-dominated government. The government has rejected demands for independence, but has said it is open to talks. Meanwhile, both sides of the conflict have been accused of human rights violations and those who have sought refuge inside the country want to return home, but are haunted by the horrors they have witnessed. Al Jazeera's Hiba Morgan met one of the displaced families in Douala.

Cameroon has warned against declaring victory in its presidential elections, as official results are not yet available.

Polls closed in Cameroon Sunday evening and vote counting began in an election that will likely see Africa’s oldest leader win another term amid fighting and threats from separatists that prevented residents in English-speaking regions from voting. President Paul Biya, in office since 1982, vows to end a crisis that has killed more than 400 people in the Central African nation’s Southwest and Northwest territories in more than a year. The fractured opposition has been unable to rally behind a strong challenger to the 85-year-old leader.

Presidential Elections in Cameroon is set for Sunday as incumbent President Paul Biya, who has ruled the central African nation for more than three decades, is favored to win another 7 year term and will face nine of the twenty-eight presidential candidates in the upcoming election.

We start in Cameroon, where President Paul Biya cancelled a campaign visit to the separatist stronghold region of Buya, late on Wednesday night. Tenions in Anglophone regions are escalating ahead of Sunday's elections. The cancellation of the rally means that no presidential candidate will visit the conflict-ridden English-speaking regions of Cameroon to solicit for votes before the polls.
