Lusaka’s mayor to hold open wedding despite Covid-19

We hear from Miles Sampa, mayor of Zambia’s capital Lusaka. He explains why he’s holding his wedding in a stadium and inviting the whole city, despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

Plus, the latest on the fate of hundreds of schoolboys kidnapped in Nigeria’s Katsina State. Some analysts are sceptical about claims from the militant group Boko Haram that it was responsible.

And our weekly letter from African journalists comes from Ade Daramy, who’s focussing on The Gambia’s Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission.
