Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says it is concerned about the continuity of care for thousands of migrants in South Africa (SA) who are living with chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and mental health disorders after fleeing their homes due to fears for their safety and threats to their livelihoods. 

The humanitarian organisation says the priority is to ensure that those most at risk continue to access essential healthcare services, regardless of who they are or where they come from.

Protests have erupted in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) over proposed constitutional reforms, amid growing political tensions.

The demonstrations have been organised by several civil society organisations and citizen movements, which argue that the reforms are poorly timed given the country's ongoing security, humanitarian, and economic challenges.

The proposed reforms by President Félix Tshisekedi have also drawn strong criticism from opposition parties, which accuse him of attempting to amend the Constitution to pave the way for a third presidential term after his current mandate ends in 2028, despite the existing two-term limit. 

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Channel Africa's Correspondent in the DRC, Jimmy Shukrani Bakomera.
