Forty-two South African freedom fighters have been honoured in their homeland after their bodies were repatriated from Zimbabwe and Zambia. The activists died there in exile decades ago during the struggle against Apartheid. Their return is part of a government programme to bring closure to their families, who have long wished to bury their loved ones on home soil.
Also in the programme, more than four million people across West and Central Africa are grappling with the effects of unprecedented flooding. We speak to the NGO Mercy Corps about what needs to be done now to protect those affected; and in the future, to guard against climate shocks.
And we visit Zinder in Niger, where the guardians of the city's Islamic heritage are also warning about the threat of climate change.
