Coronavirus: Cameroon and Togo latest African countries reporting cases

After Nigeria, Senegal, Egypt and Algeria, Cameroon and Togo also reports first cases

Cameroon and Togo become the latest African countries to confirm a case of Coronavirus CoViD19. In Cameroon, patient zero has been identified as a 58-year-old French citizen who arrived in Yaounde on February 24th. Our correspondent Killian Ngala reports from Cameroon's capital.

We also speak to our correspondents in Zanzibar and Uganda who investigate the state of preparedness in case of an outbreak of the virus there. Uganda, in particular, has a strong record in limiting contagions through effective media campaigns: Will it work for the Coronavirus outbreak too?

Nigerian Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa retires after 45 years covering some of the country's highest judicial roles. In our interview, she tells us about the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated work environment.
