In this edition of The Brief Bulletin: A South African family is torn apart by anti-immigrant unrest, and a striking new wildlife discovery is made in the Congo. A 34-year-old South African woman, Charlotte Masemola, is currently stranded at a transit centre in Bulawayo. She traveled to Zimbabwe with her three children desperately seeking to reunite with her husband, who was forced to flee South Africa following recent anti-immigrant unrest. We dive into her story and the impact of the ongoing border and immigration challenges. In lighter news, researchers have confirmed a newly identified monkey species deep in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This unique primate stands out with its distinct black fur, black face, and striking pinkish-orange lips.
