Show Notes

South Africa's health department say they've begun 'intense' investigations into alleged food poisioning cases especially amongst children. In a recent case six children all under the age of 10 died in Soweto, after allegedly eating food that was poisioned. We hear from a journalist covering the story.

Also why South Africa's relationship with Taiwan is tense - and what sort of relationship does the island share with the rest of the continent?

And why is Mozambique planting around 200 million mangroves?
