South Africa power cuts affect gold prices -29 Jan 08
The price of gold has reached a lifetime high of 930 dollars an ounce on fears that supplies are running low.
That's in part been fuelled by power cuts in South Africa which have forced the world's three largest gold-mining firms to shut down their operations.
The government's being blamed for ignoring warnings that record growth, and ageing infrastructure, would see the country's power run out.
Now the state power company, Eskom, is saying it will boost electricity supplies to the mines by up to 90 percent by the end of the week.

Vista Point JOHANNESBURG South Africa
VPG-DVD-125 - JOHANNESBURG
Johannesburg is the commercial centre of South Africa. Since gold was first discovered, everything has revolved around money and from the 50th floor of Africa's tallest building, The Carlton Towers, there is an all-engulfing view of the city's narrow streets and jungle of concrete and glass.
The African Museum is a contemporary building and one of South Africa's most exquisite landmarks, it contains a large variety of geological exhibits and detailed accounts of the city's past surface mining that gave rise to the country's massive gold rush. The resistance to apartheid is also illustrated, as well as that of the history of Africa's native inhabitants who journeyed from present day Botswana to the south of the country.
Gold Reef City is a large historical...

More and more Zimbabweans are leaving home in search of work and refuge and many of them are heading to Johannesburg, also known as the City of Gold. But, as Haru Mutasa, Al Jazeera's Africa correspondent, reports, despite being Africa's largest economy, South Africa offers no guarantees of a better life.

SOUTH AFRICA
Journeys of the Freedom Songs
On the 6th of November, 1964, political activist and composer of many South African freedom songs, Vuyisilli Mini was condemned to death. Leaving his cell his jailer sarcastically asked him if he was going to sing on his way to the gallows. On his way to the hangman's rope, Vuyisili Mini and two others who will be hung with him, as well as all the prisoners of Pretoria intoned one of the songs written by Mini, "Watch Out Verwoerd!" ("The Black Man is coming!") South Africa, known for its brutal past, possesses a hidden treasure richer than its underground gold and diamonds, a more powerful arm than its tanks and AK-47: song and music. You can kill a man,...
