Reporter undergoes circumcision - on air

A Zambian radio correspondent, Kennedy Gondwe, has undergone a circumcision in order to protect himself from Aids. The 27-year-old told BBC World Service listeners: "We as journalists also have a role to play in the fight against the disease." But his operation, broadcast on radio and in an online diary, offended the population in his home province where the Tumbuka people do not embrace circumcision. (Via The Zone/AP)
