Zimbabwe has declared a state of disaster across much of the country because of a severe drought. It has been experiencing abnormally low rainfall since last year. Drought isn't confined to Zimbabwe as Ethiopia is in the midst of its worst drought in decades, with more than ten million people needing emergency aid. We will get updates on the miners who are unaccounted for in South Africa after the Lily Mine in Mpumalanga's Nkomazi area collapsed on Friday morning. Also, tributes are being paid to Maurice White, the founder of the seventies soul group Earth Wind and Fire who has died at his home in Los Angeles.
