Lessons from a huge fire in Khayelitsha; controversy over where Garibaldi is really buried

Pascale Harter has stories from Mark Lobel, sifting through the aftermath and lessons of a fire in Khayelitsha; and Alan Johnston, on the mystery of Garibaldi's final resting place

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?
