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? Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Patricia Whitehorne, Stefania Okereke, Amie Liebowitz, Audrey Brown and Nyasha Michelle in London Technical Producer: Nick Randell Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
