EYE ON AFRICA © FRANCE 24

On tonight's show, our reporters bring you the latest from South Africa. President Cyril Ramaphosa has declared a national state of disaster over the deadly floods on the east coast, warning that rebuilding even basic services will take time. Around the city of Durban, at least 443 people have died, with 48 still missing. Some 10,000 troops have been deployed to help restore power and water and search for the missing.

We also head to Togo, where French billionaire Vincent Bolloré could face a criminal trial.

And on this Easter Monday, we take a look at celebrations in eastern DR Congo, where residents try to forget the pain caused by ongoing violence.
