In recent months, many people around the world have seen their cost of living increase. Basics such as food, fuel and electricity are costing more than they used to in many countries. Recent research has tried to pinpoint the most expensive cities on the continent, by looking at the cost of these goods.

So, at a time when many people are having to tighten their belts, what’s life like in Africa’s most expensive cities?
