South Africa protests after Nigerian 'king' installed
from Focus on Africa · host BBC World Service
Earlier this week, activists were holding a peaceful march in the port city of KuGompo - formerly East London, but disorder erupted after a protester said he was attacked by a foreigner, prompting demonstrators to damage several vehicles and shops. The trouble came amid tension over the recent installation of a Nigerian community leader in the city, who has a traditional title that can be translated as "king of the Igbo people in East London". We hear from a Nigerian community leader in Scotland. Also, what's causing the decline in the populations of cheetahs in Somaliland and the Horn of Africa region? We hear from a conservation organisation. Presenter : Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba, Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Technical Producer: David Kinyanjui Senior Producer: Charles Gitonga Editor: Maryam Abdalla
