Episode description

The United States said it was pulling the plug on millions of dollars' worth of aid to Zambia's health sector after the country failed to tackle 'systematic' theft of much needed medicines. The US Ambassador to Zambia, Michael Gozales' said that the "difficult" decision was made after repeated warnings to the Zambian government, to safeguard vital drugs meant for the country's most vulnerable patients. We'll hear analysis.

Also, why did the International Court of Justice dismiss Sudan's case of genocide against the United Arab Emirates?

And the history behind one of South Africa's official languages, Afrikaans, which celebrates 100 years this year!
