EYE ON AFRICA © FRANCE 24

In tonight's edition: Rescue teams racing to reach dozens of construction workers trapped beneath the rubble of a collapsed multi-storey apartment in South Africa say they've made contact with around a dozen people buried alive in the rubble. At least six people were killed when the structure folded in the coastal city of George on Monday.

Also, Senegal's ministry of fisheries releases a limited, named list of ships and crew permitted to work the waves, in a move welcomed by artisanal fishermen competing with huge foreign trawlers.

And the EU hits out at Chad's sidelining of thousands of civil observers to Monday's presidential election, this as the vote count continues in a landmark exercise that's the first of its kind since a rash of coups hit the region.
