SciFest Africa

Meera Senthilingam

This week we've got a special edition of the show from Scifest Africa, South Africa's national Science Festival! We hear the highlights of the events, talks and lectures as well as find out about the South African Large Telescopes (SALT) and what the residents of Africa can do to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy. We also find out why the airborne disease Tuberculosis is still a major problem in South Africa, despite vaccines and antibiotics being available, and hear how the Born Free Foundation are helping mistreated animals worldwide. That's all in this week's SciFest Africa special!
