  1. Malema demands greater stake for South Africa's workerspublished at 10:15

    South Africa's businesses must surrender 51% of shares to workers, left-wing opposition leader Julius Malema has told BBC TV's HARDtalk programme. 

    Mr Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters party, visited London last week in what some analysts said was an attempt to bolster his international profile. 

    Mr Malema, who was expelled from the governing African National Congress (ANC) in 2012 after falling out with President Jacob Zuma, has raised fears in the business sector that their investments will be under threat if he ever takes power.

    Pierre Claver Mbonimpa is receiving treatment in Belgium after he was shot by gunmen in the capital, Bujumbura, in August.

     More than 200 people have been killed in Burundi since protests broke out in April against President Pierre Nkurunziza's bid for a third term. He won the election in August with a resounding majority.  

    Mr Mbonimpa told the BBC's Newsday radio programme that he was determined to return to Burundi:
