When they talk of their government's failure, South Africans in the tangle of shacks and narrow lanes that is Alexandra point to an unfinished modern brick and steel building near the edge of the township. The billboard out front says the Mandela Interpretation Center should have been completed two years ago. Neighbors gossip that corrupt officials stole money for the center. Julian Baskin, director of a government project to redevelop Alexandra, says the real story is that only $525,000 was set aside four years ago for a museum that has since grown to include space for cultural and social activities. Now the project is stalled as bureaucrats try to determine the real costs and how to pay for them. The project is in many ways a metaphor for South Africa: Expectations ballooning beyond budgets, over-optimistic planning and, yes, corruption have combined to slow delivery of the "better life for all" the African National Congress promised during the campaign for South Africa's first all-race election 14 years ago. Impatience with successive ANC governments since has also fed anger against immigrants who have crowded along with South Africans into Alexandra and other poorest of the poor neighborhoods. "We don't have houses, we don't have jobs, we don't have anything," said Cyril Mthembu, a 42-year-old unemployed father of three who has lived in Alexandra for 28 years. "So, we are fighting over the little we have." ...

Conversely, the same variation also appears to prolong survival of those infected with HIV by approximately two years. The discovery marks the first genetic risk factor for HIV found only in people of African descent, and sheds light on the differences in a crucial genetic makeup. ...

What is happening in Zimbabwe is horrific and unforgivable. The proposed sanctions resolution on Zimbabwe, rejected by the UN Security Council after vetoes by Russia and China on 11 July, is the latest example of a diplomatic and economic weapon that has a distinctly mixed history of success and failure.
