Vasectomy discussed: Should more men consider it?
We hear how some African men are now opting for vasectomy as a birth control tool.
The Kenyan branch of the charity organisation Marie Stopes has announced that it will offer free vasectomies for one week. We hear from a doctor about this method of birth control, and from a young man who has undergone the procedure and says it is a subject men should discuss more openly.
And South Africa's first black student to graduate with a degree in engineering back in 1961, recalls his university years under apartheid, and says he knew he was facing 鈥渧ery heavy odds at the time.鈥
