Available for over a year

The longer journey around Africa can add anything from one to two weeks to a vessel’s journey. We speak to the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), which represents over half of the two million seafarers worldwide. Also in the programme, presenter Sam Fenwick discusses upcoming elections in South Africa and gets the latest in the investigation into Indian billionaire Gautam Adani.
