Guy Scott - Vice President of Zambia

Stephen Sackur talks Guy Scott, vice-president of Zambia, and asks if Africa's leaders are making best use of the current surge in economic growth to tackle endemic poverty?

It's tempting to see him as a symbol of a continent no longer trapped in its past, but is it true?
