South Africa's 'new face' of Afro Folk music

Bongeziwe Mabandla combines popular and traditional music to create a new sound

South African singer, Bonge-ziwe Mabandla has been described as the face of Afro Folk music.

He combines popular and traditional music with neo-soul and other vibes in his native Xhosa language.

At least 14 people have been killed and many others wounded in an attack by armed men on a village in Nigeria's north-western Zamfara state according to Nigerian police.

The Oxford Union has been criticised, following an incident where a blind student was reportedly forcefully removed from a debating chamber.
