From Our Own Correspondent

In Amman, Yolande Knell finds out how the Jordanian public feels about Abu Qatada and takes a look inside his new home, the highly modern Al-Muwaqar Prison. In Johannesburg, a trip to the theatre prompts Gabriel Gatehouse to ponder over South Africa's struggle with Mandela's legacy. Can the country come to terms with the idea that even a national and historic hero might have something of the sinner as well as the saint?
