Hitting the right note: South African soprano Pretty Yende comes home

South African opera star Pretty Yende has made a remarkable journey from her home town of Mpumalanga to La Scala in Milan.

The soprano fell in love with opera after hearing it on a television advert, and has gone on to sing with some of the biggest names in classical music.

Milton Nkosi was granted a rare interview as she returned to South Africa to perform.

Throughout October, the BBC's 100 Women season will look at the world we live in today through the eyes of the women who make up half the world.
