South Africa and Italy

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Pascale Harter introduces correspondents' personal stories, reflections and analysis from around the world. In this edition, Mark Lobel, sifts through the aftermath and the lessons of a huge fire in Khayelitsha, near Cape Town. While South Africa's elite celebrated the New Year in style, others were fleeing their burning shacks - and even their efforts to save their possessions made the fire brigade's job harder. In Italy, Alan Johnston probes the mystery of Garibaldi's final resting place: where is the national hero really buried - and should he have been buried at all?
