00:00Improvisant le soutien et le screening pour le cancer de l'os au cours du mois d'octobre,
00:21l'awarenesse de la maladie dévastatrice, ses effets et les options de traitement ont explosé
00:26les survivants racontent leur histoire et battent le cancer le plus infectieux de Cameroun.
00:31En améliorant la culture de la donation de sang et en augmentant la diversité et la sustainabilité
00:38des ponds de sang-donnés dans le pays, la région de l'Est est en train d'avoir une
00:42courbe élevée de sacs de sang, à peu près 2 500 par an au-delà des 21 000 nécessaires.
00:50Chez nous, près de 70 000 personnes du nord-ouest et du sud-ouest qui ont renoncé à la région de l'Est
00:58ont reçu de l'aide de la couple présidentielle. Le programme humanitaire est un relief salué.
01:06Merci de nous rejoindre. Bienvenue à la 7h30 News. Je suis Esther Kima.
01:12Le mois d'octobre est le mois de l'Awarenesse du cancer du sang, où la navigation des patients
01:19d'éducation et les soutiens aux survivants sont fournis. En Cameroun, c'est la première forme
01:23de cancer qui affecte les citoyens, compte tenu du nombre de cas en année.
01:28Le cancer cervicale est le deuxième sur la liste. Ses effets ravagent les médecins
01:33qui considèrent la maladie comme un problème de santé publique et insistent sur la prévention
01:39La situation du cancer en Cameroun est présentée par notre rapporteur Emmanuel Avimoué.
01:45La mention est faite du nombre de nouvelles infections et de morts du cancer du sang et du cerveau en Cameroun.
01:52Les experts dans le domaine sont inquiets. Les deux maladies sont au-dessus de la liste.
01:57La première est le cancer du sang. L'information la plus inquiétante est que le cancer cervicale est la deuxième.
02:05En Europe, le cancer cervicale est le huitième ou même le dixième.
02:09Il peut même disparaître dans certains pays.
02:12Une situation préoccupante qui peut être réversée si les Camerounais optent pour la prévention,
02:17selon les experts.
02:19L'issue de l'avant-diagnose est si importante.
02:22Quand le cancer est situé quelque part, on peut s'occuper de l'opération.
02:26Mais si le cancer s'est fermé sur le corps, qu'est-ce qu'on va couper ?
02:30On ne peut pas couper tout le corps.
02:32Le cancer cervicale, on a la prévention par la vaccination.
02:36On a la prévention, la gestion chirurgicale ou même la gestion non chirurgicale.
02:41Vous devez savoir qu'à ce stade, c'est déjà trop tard.
02:43Pour le cancer du sang, on a l'autopalpation du sang,
02:47qui doit être faite au moins une fois par mois après la médecine.
02:51Les médecins disent que ceux avec des facteurs de risque sont deux fois plus vulnérables à la maladie.
02:58On n'a jamais eu tellement de malades.
03:01Ceux qui ont trop de poids,
03:03parce que quand vous avez du poids,
03:05même votre poids peut produire de l'œstrogène.
03:08Si vous buvez comme ça,
03:10vous avez plus de risque d'avoir des gènes.
03:13Si vous les avez,
03:15naturellement, vous avez plus de chances d'en avoir.
03:18Si, par exemple, vous avez commencé très tôt,
03:20avec l'intercourse, vous avez plus de risque de développer ce cancer.
03:24Le cancer du sang et du cerveau ne peut être traité que s'il est diagnosé tôt.
03:30Les médecins le cautionnent.
03:32Le cancer du sang n'est pas une mort,
03:34car les options de traitement incluent la chirurgie, la chimiothérapie et la thérapie de radiation.
03:40Ceux-ci ont permis aux patients de survivre après leur diagnostic.
03:44L'un d'entre eux est Atanga Emile Nadege.
03:47Elle a fait seulement une biopsie et 9 sessions de chimiothérapie pour le cancer du sang.
03:52Le but était de respecter les instructions des médecins et d'avoir un suivi médical régulier.
03:57Juliana Bifolo est en contact avec Emile Nadege,
04:00un survivant du cancer pour le 730 News.
04:04Atangana Emile Nadege,
04:06de la région centrale du Cameroun,
04:08est une étudiante à l'Université de Yaoundé-1
04:12à Sciences-Po Paris.
04:15Elle a été diagnostiquée avec le cancer du sang en 2020.
04:20J'étais à un salon de maquillage le 30 juillet 2020,
04:24quand j'ai senti un bruit sur mon dos.
04:27Quand j'ai touché, j'ai remarqué qu'il y avait un trou, mais je l'ai négligé.
04:31Des mois plus tard, je suis allée à l'hôpital pour un test
04:34et j'ai été diagnostiquée avec le cancer.
04:38Les résultats des laboratoires ont détruit son existence.
04:43J'étais scandalisée.
04:45Je savais que j'allais mourir.
04:47Le personnel médical m'a assuré que si je suivais mon traitement,
04:50tout allait bien.
04:53Grâce à une intervention médicale rapide,
04:56Emile Nadege a commencé à écrire une autre histoire de sa vie.
05:00Le traitement n'était pas une rose.
05:03Je me suis fait opérer.
05:06J'ai eu une opération et une biopsie.
05:08Après l'opération, j'ai continué avec la chimiothérapie
05:10à l'hôpital général de Yaoundé.
05:12J'ai fait environ 9 chimiothérapies.
05:14J'ai perdu tous mes cheveux,
05:16j'ai perdu mon tonalité,
05:18j'ai perdu de l'espoir,
05:19et mes doigts sont devenus sombres.
05:21Après le traitement, j'ai conduit différentes examinations laboratoires
05:24qui ont révélé que le cancer avait disparu.
05:28Elle est belle, intelligente et courageuse.
05:31Le survivant du cancer de l'os
05:34a atteint l'âge de 34 ans
05:37et espère vivre sa vie au maximum.
05:41Émilie Nadege a témoigné que le cancer peut être battu.
05:45Au premier jour de la région,
05:47nous avons éliminé un geste pour sauver la vie
05:49sur la donation de sang.
05:51Dans la région de l'Est,
05:52la demande annuelle de sang surpasse 21 000.
05:55Imaginez qu'il n'y ait qu'environ 2500 de ce nombre.
05:59C'est donc très difficile pour les praticiens de santé
06:03de sauver des patients en face de cette déficit.
06:06Célestine Sumbelle a rapporté sur le déficit
06:08et a été enregistrée dans les hôpitaux de Béthoua.
06:13À cause des circonstances fréquentes qui demandent de la sang,
06:16le hôpital régional de Béthoua a besoin d'environ 1000 sacs de sang
06:20pour opérer efficacement et efficacement par mois.
06:24Six sacs de sang par jour et 75 par mois
06:27sont les facteurs verts de la vie.
06:29Nous avons 50 sacs de sang.
06:32Nous devons relâcher 5 à 6 sacs par jour.
06:35Parfois, trois jours passent sans entrée.
06:40A l'inspiration de multiples initiatives de sensibilisation
06:43pour compter les donnages,
06:45la situation reste la même
06:47à l'hôpital de Béthoua,
06:49avec presque des banques d'eau vide.
06:53Les sacs de sang positifs,
06:55O+, A+, B+,
06:57sont les plus disponibles.
06:59Les sacs de sang négatifs sont les plus effrayants,
07:02avec peu de donnages.
07:06En fonction des données disponibles,
07:08les nombreuses banques d'eau vide de l'Ouest
07:10souffrent d'une sévère shortage de sang.
07:15Les Cameroonais n'ont pas la culture de donner de la sang,
07:18ce qui les rend difficiles pour les patients.
07:20Nous appelons à tous les Cameroonais à donner de la sang
07:23pour sauver des vies.
07:26Had I known would be the regrettable word for many patients
07:29and the state if action is not taken quickly
07:32to address the situation and encourage blood donors.
07:35And the creation of a national blood transfusion service
07:38by governments is the beginning of the solution.
07:41Found in all 10 regions,
07:43its mission is to ensure a constant supply of blood
07:46to hospitals.
07:48Its success, however, lies in the promotion
07:50of a culture of regular blood donation
07:52by the population.
07:54This awareness is ongoing in the West region,
07:56as we hear in this report by Thala Elty.
08:02Ever since its creation in Betwa back in 2023,
08:06the regional blood transfusion center
08:08has been combing the nooks and crannies of the East region
08:11to let the population know that
08:13to donate blood is a civil and generous act
08:16which saves the lives of many.
08:20We at the national blood transfusion service
08:23have opted to sensitize the population
08:25on the free donation of blood
08:28Placed under the technical supervision
08:30of the Ministry of Public Health,
08:32this structure works in close collaboration
08:34with hospitals to ensure that their blood banks
08:37do not run dry.
08:41Last year, we recorded over 300 free blood donations
08:44in the entire region.
08:46This year, with the work carried out,
08:48we already have 763 donors in our files.
08:51This means the job we carry out is not in vain.
08:57In spite of adverse judgment
08:59given by some cultural and religious bodies
09:02on blood transfusion,
09:04the national blood transfusion center
09:06is working tirelessly to ensure that
09:08blood remains handy in hospitals.
09:11Still in health news,
09:13Cameroon and the World Health Organization
09:15are strategizing on strengthening
09:17the country's capacity to respond
09:19to widespread health challenges.
09:21This was the purpose of a meeting
09:23with the Prime Minister Head of Government,
09:26with the visiting Deputy Director General
09:29of the organization,
09:32attended by cabinet ministers,
09:34it falls in line with the
09:36Universal Health Preparedness Review.
09:38Starboarding Correspondence,
09:40Christian Chiatam, tells us more.
09:46The COVID-19 pandemic
09:48showed how important it is for every country
09:50to have a solid health system
09:52and a high resilience
09:54to large-scale health outbreaks.
09:56The Universal Health Preparedness Scheme
09:58was set up by the World Health Organization
10:01to help countries in this regard.
10:03The working session
10:05between the Prime Minister Head of Government,
10:07Joseph Diangute,
10:09and the Deputy Director General of the WHO
10:11served to identify strategies
10:13which could help boost
10:15the health sector in Cameroon.
10:17We're here really to work with the government of Cameroon
10:20to do a universal health
10:22and preparedness review,
10:24which is a process with the government
10:26looking through how
10:28various components of government coming together
10:30to work with the health sector
10:32to ensure that the country is more prepared
10:34for any threats that it will face.
10:36The discussions are part of a process
10:38which will take Cameroon's demarche
10:40to the global stage
10:42for peer review.
10:44Firstly, we will meet locally and take key decisions
10:46on how to move forward on the
10:48issues that we have prioritized together.
10:50Secondly, the Minister of Health
10:52will also bring this resource
10:54to the global stage,
10:56bring it to Geneva, share it with other countries.
10:58Other countries will also engage with them.
11:00It's a peer review process.
11:02The Prime Minister reassured the WHO official
11:04that the government of Cameroon
11:06is totally committed to improving
11:08access to basic health services
11:10to the population.
11:12From the start building,
11:14the same delegation of officials
11:16of the World Health Organization
11:18of the Senate,
11:20the Deputy Director General,
11:22and his colleagues were granted audience
11:24by the Senate Vice President,
11:26Professor Robert McKinley.
11:28The personalities discussed
11:30health security priorities in the country
11:32with emphasis on governance systems
11:34and funding.
11:36Doris Batetato-Ekwe reports.
11:38Ensuring health security
11:40for all by putting in place
11:42appropriate emergency response
11:44mechanisms is a priority
11:46for all states including Cameroon
11:48and so all arms of government
11:50must be committed to the cause.
11:52Parliament is expected
11:54to play its role
11:56of overseeing government policies
11:58in that light.
12:00That's essentially the main thrust
12:02of the meeting between
12:04the World Health Organization delegation
12:06and Senate Vice President
12:08Robert McKinley.
12:10In every country, the parliament
12:12is extremely important,
12:14in holding government accountable
12:16to deliver on what they need to do,
12:18but also to resource
12:20the suggestions and recommendations
12:22that we are going to make.
12:24There are few improvements in every country,
12:26we have presented them to parliament
12:28today, they will go through
12:30the government of Cameroon,
12:32but we hope that once it gets to parliament
12:34and I've been assured by the president
12:36of the parliament, the Senate in Cameroon,
12:38that those things will receive
12:40the rapid attention of the Senate in Cameroon.
12:42This is particularly important
12:44as Cameroon implements
12:46its universal health coverage policy.
12:48The visiting WHO
12:50officials also stopped by
12:52to seek the support
12:54of the Senate towards the process
12:56of the universal health
12:58preparedness review,
13:00an initiative to which Cameroon
13:02adheres.
13:04On to development news in the nation's capital,
13:06construction works on two
13:08bypass roads from
13:10to the roundabout
13:12and from
13:14have been launched today.
13:16The stretches situated along the national
13:18road number one and number four
13:20will considerably reduce traffic
13:22congestion. The launch was made
13:24by the Minister of Housing and Urban Development,
13:26Celestine Kecha Koutes.
13:28Sintes Sabtala was there
13:30and reports for the 730 News.
13:32A visible end
13:34to what drivers would describe as a
13:36nightmare at the entries and exit
13:38of the town of Yaoundé.
13:40The construction of these two bypass roads
13:42from Dispenser-Coswa
13:44to the Katanga roundabout
13:46and then Akak to
13:48Carrefour-Gendarmerie-Soie is believed
13:50will greatly reduce
13:52the heavy traffic.
13:54Ten years ago, we were obliged to
13:56travel through
13:58Yaoundé to reach
14:00Eban. I would like to thank very much
14:02the head of state on behalf of
14:04people of Soie for the
14:06realization of this
14:08big project. Launching the project
14:10in Akak this Thursday, the
14:12Minister of Housing and Urban Development said
14:14government is engaged
14:16in a number of urban worksites
14:18aimed at improving on mobility
14:20from the city centre.
14:22We can do other
14:24than to create new roads,
14:26new urban cities
14:28to improve
14:30the villages not far from Yaoundé.
14:32I was in Okola to launch
14:34the bypass road to pass through
14:36Okola and ended here
14:38in Soie. We have signed
14:40one other
14:42service to the company
14:44to complete the work
14:46to Minboman. The project
14:48estimated at over
14:5010 billion CFA francs began
14:52last September 3 and is expected
14:54to last 25 months.
14:56An
14:58international monetary fund delegation
15:00led by its nation head to Cameroon,
15:02Samuel Sankak, is reviewing
15:04the seventh four-year program
15:06supported by the extended credit
15:08facility and the extended
15:10fund facility arrangements. This
15:12was in two separate meetings presided
15:14over by the Minister of the Economy
15:16Alamine Ousmane Mey and the Minister of Delegates
15:18to the Minister of Finance Yaouba
15:20Abdoulaye. Here's an excerpt of
15:22the delegation head after the meetings.
15:24The objectives
15:26are rather diverse,
15:28mainly to support
15:30growth, inclusive growth
15:32in the country, inclusive
15:34growth supported by the private
15:36sector, debt sustainability
15:38and fiscal sustainability,
15:40improving governance
15:42and improving also
15:44financial sector sustainability.
15:46So there is
15:48a whole range of reforms
15:50and we want to make sure that
15:52the authorities are able to
15:54finish the reforms by the end of the
15:56program.
15:58We take you over to the Far North region
16:00where floods continue to threaten
16:02human existence. This time
16:04around, it is the inhabitants of Kuseri
16:06who are feeling the brunt of excessive
16:08rainfall. The chief town of
16:10Lagon and Shari Division, which shares
16:12boundaries with the Chardian capital, Jamina,
16:14has witnessed a significant
16:16number of houses ruined.
16:18Henry Tato-Ekambi reports
16:20from the Far North.
16:22The heavy surge of water has buried
16:24a great part of the town of Kuseri,
16:26damaging houses and goods.
16:28A good number of the residents
16:30of the chief town of the Lagon and Shari
16:32Division that shares
16:34borders with Chardian capital, Jamina
16:36say they are now helpless.
16:42We tried to put back
16:44sand to stop the flood waters
16:46but the water came in with force
16:48and still submerged it.
16:50We took out the most important things
16:52and our children at 4 a.m.
16:54this morning.
16:56Many have now sought refuge in places
16:58that have less of the flood waters.
17:02Toilets and water
17:04are the most important things we need
17:06now because they could just defecate
17:08anywhere.
17:12The populace of Kuseri
17:14are now hoping that the state,
17:16its partners and well-wishers will
17:18alleviate their suffering.
17:20Over in the West Region,
17:22over 70,000 persons
17:24flame the crisis
17:26in the rest of predominantly
17:28English-speaking regions.
17:30Now residents in the West Region
17:32are beneficiaries of a humanitarian
17:34program organized by
17:36the presidential couple.
17:38Supervised by the governor of the region,
17:40Agustin, the aid has enabled
17:42the displaced persons to integrate
17:44their new communities.
17:46Eric Langmia Wufo tells us more.
17:48Many of the IDPs
17:50are said to have received
17:52supplies in the West Region from
17:54President Paul Bia and wife Shanta Bia.
17:56You had the presidential aid
17:58that was
18:00given by the head of state
18:02and you had also the aid by the
18:04assistance from the First Lady.
18:06These gifts were
18:08mostly in kind. Mattresses,
18:10detergents,
18:12baguettes, things that
18:14of basic necessities
18:16that could help these internally
18:18displaced persons.
18:20Most of them are settled in the noon
18:22Bambutusa-Menua divisions.
18:24They are found
18:26all over the region
18:28but
18:30particularly in the noon,
18:32especially those who have
18:34to do with agriculture.
18:36But also you find
18:38in the Menua division
18:40quite a number of
18:42internally displaced,
18:44especially those from
18:46the Libia-Lim division who have
18:48a lot of family ties with
18:50the people of
18:52the Menua.
18:54The moves undertaken by the presidential couple
18:56have led others to follow suit
18:58like the Anglophone Cultural
19:00and Development Association created
19:02in the Opa-Plato division
19:04to cater for the internally displaced
19:06persons.
19:08In education news, the concept of
19:10university enterprise designed by the
19:12Ministry of Higher Education to ensure
19:14that learners get constructive education
19:16that is gainful for them
19:18and their institutions is bearing fruits.
19:20In the field of agronomy, students are equipped
19:22with theoretical and practical skills
19:24that render them autonomous
19:26at the end of their training.
19:28Larisse Nannet-Eporte reports.
19:30These piglets
19:32owned by the University Institute
19:34of Sciences and Technology, Yaoundé
19:36are being raised by students
19:38of the institution.
19:40The University Institute of Sciences and Technology
19:42is a practical field of study
19:44where students use products harvested
19:46from the school's farm
19:48to feed the pigs,
19:50which are later on processed
19:52into products like sausage
19:54or sold in the market.
19:56From the farm, we take some products
19:58that we bring here and we transform
20:00them into final products
20:02that everybody can consume.
20:04We have a farm.
20:06In this farm, we produce, for example,
20:08pigs and chicken.
20:10In their respective incubators,
20:12students are taught
20:14all the necessary techniques needed
20:16to create their own businesses.
20:18We have a specific service
20:20to follow up
20:22and to help them to set up
20:24their enterprise.
20:26Similar to the private university institute,
20:28government universities such as
20:30the University of Boya have established
20:32incubators where students are acquiring
20:34practical skills.
20:36The University of Boya was
20:38given the authorization to operate a driving school
20:40and recently we've been given
20:42the authorization to operate
20:44a vehicle testing center,
20:46which is a holding company
20:48created by the University of Boya.
20:50It's a new approach taught by the Higher Education Ministry
20:52to not only empower
20:54students upon graduation,
20:56but build an income path
20:58for the institution,
21:00expected to not always depend on donors
21:02or the state
21:04for financial support.
21:06And to guarantee the autonomy
21:08of students, business incubators
21:10that support them in developing
21:12their ideas in the initial stages
21:14are being encouraged.
21:16At a seminar in Yaoundé today,
21:18stakeholders underscored the importance
21:20of such an accompaniment,
21:22which will impact self-empowerment
21:24and improve on the country's economy.
21:26Clovis Bawe has the details.
21:30Incubators like this will enable
21:32the direct follow-up of students
21:34in private higher education
21:36in conceiving, materializing
21:38and implementing any business project
21:40during and after training.
21:42This initiative falls in line
21:44with government's prescription
21:46of training youths who can be autonomous,
21:48so we will be focusing more on
21:50listening and orientation
21:52so that they can put their ideas to work.
21:54The initiative,
21:56welcomed by a majority of stakeholders
21:58of the Network of Business Incubators
22:00is set to be timely,
22:02but it is important to know
22:04who does what, when and where
22:06in order to give the project real impetus.
22:10Students mostly face the problem
22:12of financing and I think
22:14this initiative should start by tackling the issue.
22:16They need to be guaranteed
22:18financial sustainability.
22:20From now to 2028,
22:22the goal is to identify
22:2425 incubators per year
22:26in different private higher learning establishments
22:28and also strengthen
22:30the structuring of high-profile
22:32economic sectors in courses
22:34offered by these institutions.
22:36Over in the
22:38University of Douala, the ongoing
22:40pre-registration procedure made easy
22:42for aspiring students is being applauded
22:44with reforms taken to make certain
22:46that in less than a week,
22:48freshmen are settled on the admission
22:50formalities. The exercise
22:52is taking place hitch-free.
22:54Madame Cuellet has the details from CRTV Literal.
22:58At the entrance into the Faculty of Economics
23:00and Applied Management is a
23:02canopy with computers connected
23:04to the internet. There are also staff
23:06of the faculty as well as some
23:08returning students at hand
23:10to assist freshmen coming to get themselves
23:12pre-registered into the system.
23:14The candidate has
23:16to collect
23:18his documents.
23:20Secondly, he has
23:22to introduce it
23:24in the
23:26internet system and
23:28after that, he can
23:30receive his
23:32CVC. Students coming
23:34to the faculty for the first time
23:36have appreciated the procedure, especially
23:38with the assistance provided by
23:40the faculty. In less than two
23:42weeks into the start of the pre-registration
23:44process at the Faculty of
23:46Economics and Applied Management,
23:48the dean of the faculty says everything
23:50has been going on smoothly.
23:52Everything is going on very well. From the
23:54money we collected this morning,
23:56there are around 400 students
23:58who have managed to be registered
24:00till now. But I should
24:02add that the procedure
24:04started barely
24:06two weeks ago. With the completion
24:08of the pre-registration procedure,
24:10the student is handed an identification
24:12number which carries every information
24:14concerning him or her.
24:16In diplomacy,
24:18the new British High Commissioner
24:20designated to Cameroon has presented
24:22the advanced copies of his letters of
24:24credence to the Ministry of External
24:26Relations. Matthew Woods
24:28handed his documents to the Minister Delegate
24:30to the Minister of External Relations
24:32in charge of cooperation with the Commonwealth,
24:34Felix Mbayo. Charles
24:36Ebuneh was there on our reports for the 730
24:38News. Here comes Matthew
24:40Woods as High Commissioner
24:42Designate of the United Kingdom of Great
24:44Britain and Northern Ireland to Cameroon
24:46today at the Ministry of
24:48External Relations to present advanced
24:50copies of his letters of accreditation
24:52to the Cameroonian Foreign Policy
24:54Establishment. On behalf of
24:56the Cameroonian Foreign Policy Establishment,
24:58the credentials are presented
25:00to the Minister Delegate to the Minister of
25:02External Relations in charge of cooperation
25:04with the Commonwealth, Felix Mbayo.
25:06After the presentation of the
25:08true copies accrediting Matthew Woods
25:10to Cameroon as High Commissioner
25:12Designate of the United Kingdom,
25:14there is an extended audience.
25:16In the audience, the Minister Delegate
25:18to the Minister of External Relations
25:20is assisted amongst others by
25:22the Secretary General of the Ministry of
25:24External Relations, Omaru Shimun.
25:26In the course of the audience,
25:28bilateral cooperation between
25:30Cameroon and the United Kingdom
25:32are reviewed in the economic,
25:34diplomatic, and political domains,
25:36especially at a time when
25:38Cameroon and the United Kingdom
25:40are already experimenting
25:42the economic partnership
25:44agreement after the country left
25:46the European Union.
25:48Matthew Woods replaces
25:50Barry Lowen as High Commissioner
25:52of the United Kingdom to Cameroon.
25:54And over in the
25:56south region, the seaside
25:58resort town of Kribi will soon be
26:00transformed into a smart
26:02city as we should be seeing in the pictures.
26:04This is thanks to a partnership between
26:06the Kribi City Council
26:08and the governments of the United States
26:10of America. The project, which
26:12will incorporate its U.S. technology
26:14to increase security sovereignty
26:16and ease tax payments, was
26:18presented by the City Mayor, Guy
26:20Emmanuel Sabikanda. The Director
26:22of the U.S. Embassy Branch Office of
26:24Douala, Ashley White,
26:26was also in attendance.
26:28And now on to today's
26:30memorial. It is 10 years since
26:32the demise of the mother of Cameroon's
26:34First Lady, Mama Rosette Mbwacha.
26:36For the peaceful repose of her
26:38soul, prayers have been said
26:40in Oyumaba by her loved ones.
26:42In the homily, Reverend Father
26:44Augustin Otuntolo recalled
26:46the devotion of the former mayor of Bangu
26:48and her selfless service
26:50to mankind. Ayinbile
26:52has the details.
26:56It was with breathing
26:58hearts that family and friends of
27:00Mama Rosette Mbwacha,
27:02gathered in the St. Augustine
27:04Parish of Oyumaba in her
27:06memory.
27:12Affection
27:14for the mother of the
27:16First Lady, Mrs. Chantal Bia,
27:18that has remained the same
27:2010 years after her death
27:22in 2014.
27:24Maman Rosette,
27:26nous ne pouvons pas l'oublier.
27:28Moi, je suis
27:30Douala,
27:32mais Maman Rosette m'a pris
27:34comme son enfant,
27:36comme Maman Chantal.
27:38Elle nous a montré le chemin de l'amour.
27:40Invited by an association,
27:42Dignité et Solidarité, to which
27:44Mama Rosette had belonged,
27:46those attending the memorial service
27:48listened to the officiating priest,
27:50Father Augustin Otuntolo.
27:52He talked about late Mama Rosette
27:54as their companion in faith and sister
27:56in the Lord. She who had
27:58gone from the world, touching the hearts
28:00of many through her patronage and
28:02involvement with many charities
28:04was now, he went on, in the
28:06loving arms of her creator.
28:08Comfort for her family and friends
28:10who then offered prayers and hymns
28:12for their departed mother, her daughter
28:14and daughter's husband, the President
28:16of the Republic, whose extraordinary
28:18life continues to capture
28:20the attention of the world.
28:22Ten years on, may her soul
28:24continue to rest in peace. Now in sports,
28:26Roderick Quéré-Nunaway
28:28has raised Cameroon's hopes for winning
28:30a lap after his second
28:32place finish today, at the ongoing
28:34Grand Prix Chantal Bia international
28:36cycling tour. He finished the third lap
28:38from Ebolova to Saint-Mélimas
28:40in 2 hours, 22 minutes, 24 seconds.
28:42Van Dijk from Belgium still
28:44keeps the yellow jersey.
28:46Romeo Kenney is on the course race
28:48now reports.
29:18Van Dijk-Wesley kept an eye
29:20on Yacine Hamza while chasing.
29:22Reaching Saint-Mélimas,
29:24chieftain of Ja and Lobo division,
29:26Roderick Quéré-Nunaway
29:28pushed hard on second position
29:30behind Mansouri Islam of
29:32Algeria who finished first,
29:34becoming the second Algerian to win a lap
29:36in the competition after Hamza.
29:38We had
29:40an excellent team and
29:42an excellent team strategy
29:44and we played
29:46with a strategy.
29:48They are super intelligent riders
29:50with so much experience.
29:52For now, Cameroon's best overall rider
29:54is Stella Arthus
29:56who is 10th on lock.
29:58The cyclist will challenge 145 km
30:00from Saint-Mélimas to
30:02Meume Sala, passing through
30:04Mpouane and Vomerka during
30:06the fourth lap this Friday.
30:08In this advertorial,
30:10MTN Cameroon is the leading
30:12sponsor and supporter of Cameroon's
30:14sport season. It was conspicuously
30:16present at the Amado Yujo Stadium
30:18last Sunday. The company is poised
30:20to hand over a cheque of 2 million CFA francs
30:22to the men of the match of the
30:24Cup of Cameroon final, Ivan Vondoulama
30:26of Colombe of Ja and Lobo.
30:28Anne Omeko tells us more.
30:30This year's
30:32Cup finals that also
30:34marked the end of the sporting season
30:36in Cameroon was another
30:38opportunity for MTN Cameroon
30:40to reaffirm its commitment
30:42to football and other disciplines.
30:44In a rather colourful ceremony
30:46presided at by the Prime
30:48Minister, Head of Government, Chief Doctor
30:50John Guthie, MTN once more
30:52took its prominent place
30:54around the Fandena Stadium
30:56with Colombe of Ja and Lobo
30:58outplaying Aiglo of Menoa.
31:00It's almost
31:02more than 10 years today that MTN
31:04is a sponsor of, a
31:06pro-sponsor of football in Cameroon.
31:08Our goal is
31:10simple, we are there to promote
31:12to let people
31:14live their passion. Today you see
31:16we just give to this
31:18the best player of this
31:20of this competition today
31:22we have 2 million, we are giving
31:242 million, so this is
31:26like many package that we are putting
31:28together with
31:30Fédération Camoner de Football, with FECAFOOD
31:32to ensure that we are
31:34bringing people to live their passion.
31:36The icing on the
31:38cake was the presentation
31:40of a cheque of 2 millions
31:42from CFA by MTN Cameroon
31:44to Ivan Vondo Olama
31:46of Colombe de Ja et Lobo
31:48as man of the match.
31:50I thank MTN
31:52for the good things
31:54they are doing for us and we will
31:56continue thanking them because
31:58they have always supported us in all
32:00we do, even in difficulties.
32:04The feeling fits with
32:06the ambition of MTN Cameroon
32:08to support national football
32:10and raise it higher. Just like
32:12their popular slogan, the passion
32:14must remain alive wherever
32:16one goes.
32:18And that's where we end this edition
32:20of the 730 News where you principally heard
32:22that improving support and screening
32:24for breast cancer throughout the month
32:26of October is an emphasis.

32:30its effects and treatment options
32:32were explored on today's newscast as survivors
32:34told their story on beating the cancer
32:36that is most infectious in Cameroon.
32:38In under 30 minutes, we'll be in the company
32:40of Romuald Njusengok
32:42for the 8.30pm newscast as from tomorrow
32:44the weekend team takes over.
