BBC World Service: Chinese 'land grabbers' in Kenya's slums

from Nicola Kelly · host Featurettes

In Kenya, Chinese businesses have been investing heavily in recent years, building roads and train lines. The influx of Chinese migrant labour has led to some tensions, with the local population and accusations of 'land grabbing'. Now these Chinese entrepreneurs are turning to the slum areas around Nairobi, seeking to improve relations with education and outreach programmes. I went to meet some of those living and working in the Mathare slums to hear their views.
