Soweto's strictest judge As excitement about the World Cup builds, so do concerns over the security situation in its host nation, South Africa. Last year in an address to Parliament, President Jacob Zuma admitted the country has a greater problem with violent crime than anywhere else in the world. One man trying to tackle this is Judge Mohamed Jooma, who's been called Soweto's strictest judge. Lucy Ash finds out how earned his tough nickname. Venezuela's singing Salsa school Salsa dancing is popular in Venezuela, but traditional salsa singing, or Sonero, seems to be in a dying art there. Our reporter, Will Grant, takes us to a Sonero school in the heart of Caracas, which is trying to revive the Latin American singing style. Sierra Leone's first lady The BBC's Veronique Edwards has had a unique insight into the lives of five African First Ladies. She will be sharing their stories here on Outlook this week, starting today with Sierra Leone's Mrs Sia Koroma, who herself had to flee during the country's brutal ten year civil war. She tells us who makes the tea in the state house, what she calls her husband when she wants to get her own way, and why her passport is so important to her.
