Episode description

Residents of Mayotte have spoken of "apocalyptic scenes" caused by the worst storm in 90 years to hit the French Indian Ocean territory. Twenty people have been confirmed dead, but local authorities say that number could rise into thousands. We'll look at the impact.

Also a look at the painful legacy of landmines in Africa and why campaigns to end their use is always welcome

And the life and times of a political cartoonist. We'll hear from South Africa's Zapiro and Kenya's Maddo!

Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Yvette Twagiramariya, Bella Hassan and Stefania Okereke Technical Producer: Phillip Bull Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
