In discussion with Radio Islam International<\/em> on this week’s Africa Report is the Head of Media Monitoring Africa, Thandi Smith.<\/p>\n

Angola is the only country in the SADC region without laws to protect pregnant pupils’ rights to education. Thandi said teenage pregnancy is a global problem and argues that the rules are very restrictive, counter-human rights and counter-progressive, further disempowering and marginalising young girls and women.<\/p>\n

The court decision regarding the Kenyan elections, Thandi said progression and a very interesting outcome. It shows the independence of the judicial system.<\/p>\n

“The positive thing that we see is that the decision although people may not agree with, is been respected.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there is the first collaborative African Fantasy Universe. Thandi said the superhero characters have historically all been set in European-dominated fantasy worlds.<\/p>\n

She added we now see the first collaboration to develop the first African-centred fantasy world.<\/p>\n

“It’s an intricate collaboration between a few people in Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Ghana.”<\/p>\n

The fantasy world is centred on African culture and music.<\/p>\n
