read somewhere it was someone from the darkest congo david livingstone surely not.

The first human case was indeed recorded in the Congo in 1970, there's a mini flare up every once in a while - it isn't really new.

Cambuslang is only a hop, skip and jump from Blantyre where the great man was born.

The plot thickens. :-)
