JOYCE BANDA VS MADONNA (UNCUT)
This week, a spin on the sniping between Malawi President Joyce Banda and the country’s biggest private donor, Madonna. There’s a preview of ‘Little one’, the moving new film selected as South Africa’s entry for the Oscars. And Ikenna names the best African hip-hop track of not just the last year, but the last two years.
This week: Ugandan Ethics Minister Simon Lokodo wants to ban miniskirts. But he didn’t say anything about men wearing them… We see kids with superpowers in ‘Troublemaker’, a new video by South African DJ Haezer. And Jamaican-Liberian singer Josephine Oniyama inspires Ikenna to do some crooning of his own. Viewer discretion advised.

HOW TO ROB AFRICA
This week Ikenna asks: why has Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir gone all soft? He also shows us ‘How to Rob Africa’, courtesy the same-named documentary by Zimbabwean journo Stanley Kwenda.

NEW AFRICAN BALLET STAR #WUA ep 84
