Does Africa have more important matters to worry about than the forthcoming World Cup?

Does Africa have more important matters to be concerned about than the forthcoming World Cup?

Rajan Datar hears a view that Africa has more important matters to be concerned about than the forthcoming World Cup – but he also talks to the producer of World Cup Have Your Say, to find out about his plans for linking football fans around the world in a global discussion of their favourite sport.  

Veronique Edwards defends her recent interviews with the wives of five African presidents against a charge that feminism has overtaken the World Service – and the head of BBC Chinese gives Rajan the background to a potentially sensitive interview he did this week with the President of Taiwan.  

And the programme also includes the thoughts of the World Service writer-in-residence about the relationship between the BBC and its audience.
