Focus on Africa - Who are the miners trapped inside a closed mine in South Africa?

South African authorities try to force as many as 4,000 illegal miners - known as zama zamas - to return to the surface, by denying them food and water.

It includes a map of "maternity care deserts", many of which are in areas with high Native populations. We’ll talk about these and other efforts to improve care for pregnant Native women.
