Africa: South Africa Bids to Regain WHO Polio-Free Certification

[Daily Maverick] South Africa is part of a 'pariah' group of countries that are not certified polio-free, thanks to weaknesses in our surveillance and vaccination programme.

But we should never have lost the certificate in the first place.
