Africa's youngest nation, South Sudan will head to the polls this December, but critics say they are disappointed with the government’s lack of preparedness.  These elections will be the first ever conducted in the country since it gained independence from Sudan in 2011.  However, several conditions listed in a peace agreement, drawn up in September 2018, have not yet been met.  Is the country ready?

Also, what's causing the Gen Z inspired protests in Kenya to continue, despite some concessions by the president?

And we learn more about the allegations that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is defending senior officials accused of corruption.

Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers Kaine Pieri,  Bella Hassan, Joseph Keen and Sunita Nahar in London and Charles Gitonga in Nairobi. Senior Producer Paul Bakibinga Technical Producer: Craig Kingham. Editors: Alice Muthengi and Andre Lombard.
