South Africans protest over the high cost of living

Thousands of South Africans are taking part in a national strike calling for urgent action to tackle the cost of living crisis. Around a third of South Africans are unemployed and the country is grappling with the economic impact of the Covid pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Audrey Brown speaks to Nomarashiya Caluza from the South African Democratic Teachers Union.

Also in the programme, Tigrayan forces in northern Ethiopia say the federal army has launched a new offensive against them and Togo's digital economy minister, Cina Lawson, talks about the need to establish an African cybersecurity centre.
