There are calls for specialised services to be integrated at South Africa's border crossings, following the delivery of a baby boy at the Lebombo border post last week. There have also been calls for those who assisted with the delivery to be promoted and recognised for going above and beyond the call of duty. The baby has been nicknamed "Baby SAPS and Customs." Dr. Kelvin Kamayoyo, Technical Advisor at the AFRICAN RIVERS INTERNATIONAL NGO in LUSAKA, ZAMBIA says the birth of the little boy is proof that miracles can happen anywhere and at anytime. Dr. Kamayoyo spoke to Unathi Batyashe

Relations between Somalia and the United States have  hit a low point after Washington said it would pause further assistance that benefits the government in Mogadishu amid a dispute over the demolition of a World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse. Somalia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier has however disputed the assertion that the U.S.-provided aid had been stolen, and said it remained in WFP custody. The accusation comes as the US  pursues an aggressive immigration policy that has posed a stumbling block to relations between Washington and Mogadishu. The Trump administration has barred citizens of Somalia from entering the U.S. and last month said it was auditing immigration cases involving U.S. citizens of Somali origin to detect fraud. For more on this, Political Scientist, Cletus Suhfree spoke to Unathi Batyashe
