Kigali has strongly denied accusations of involvement in a new rebellion in eastern DR Congo, but the UN Security Council on Tuesday published an annex to a report by the sanctions experts setting out their accusations.

More Soul for Kia

IOL MOTORING
From the outset Kia's Soul crossover set itself apart for being a somewhat funky and distinctive take on the small car market so there's no surprise that the facelift just released in South Africa sports little in the way of visual alteration.

My girlfriend looks older than me

Question: 

Dear Auntie Nangy,
I am 15 years old and I have a 14- year-old girlfriend who looks older than me and I don’t know what to do. People even say she’s too old for me. Should I leave her even though we love each other?

Answer: 

Why leave someone you love because of what people are saying? Relationships are not just about holding hands, watching movies and hanging out together. They are much more than that. You stick together through thick and thin and you don’t let people come between the two of you so easily.
