Focus on Africa: What is fuelling Angola's fuel protests?
Angola’s fuel price hike sparks deadly protests; Why do so few South Africans trust their police service? And Nigerian documentary filmmaker, Joel Kachi Benson, on his Emmy Award.
What began as a three-day strike by taxi drivers against rising petrol prices in Angola, has escalated into one of the most widespread and disruptive waves of protest the country has seen in recent years. What has life been like in the capital Luanda, against the background of the unrest?
Why do fewer than a quarter of South Africans trust their police service? A new survey shows only 22% of South Africans have any confidence in the institution.
And we meet the Nigerian filmmaker, Joel Kachi Benson, who won an Emmy for a film he made about the young boy dancing in the rain who thrilled the world in a viral video a few years ago.
