Children write notes from a makeshift black board at a school in Mwezeni village in South Africa's Eastern Cape Province in this picture taken June 5, 2012. The Eastern Cape, home to giants of the African National Congress like Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu who helped end apartheid and Thabo Mbeki, the nation's second democratically elected president, is a glaring example of the ruling party's failure to deliver its promise of a "better life for all". While thousands of schools wait each year for textbooks and many Eastern Cape children are forced to write on loose sheets, the ANC has produced copious reams of policy papers to be studied by about 3,000 delegates at next week's meeting.

Muslim girls participate in a mathematics class at Al-Haramain madrassa at the Islamic Complex in Cameroon's capital Yaounde, one day before a visit to the city by Pope Benedict XVI, March 16, 2009. Pope Benedict this week makes his first trip to Africa, starting in Yaounde on Tuesday. In many places in Africa, including Cameroon, Catholicism and Islam are fighting for souls. In Cameroon, which has a significant Muslim population, the pope is expected to meet with Muslim clerics. Elsewhere in Africa, the church is increasingly worried about losing ground to charismatic Pentecostal churches. REUTERS/Finbarr O'Reilly (CAMEROON EDUCATION SOCIETY RELIGION) - GM1E53G1NIL01
