    Programme one focuses on South Africa with a special report uncovering the foundations of the country's construction boom, and a look at how one small business owner is making money ahead of the arrival of the South Africa 2010 World Cup.

    Interviews are conducted with Francois Diedrechsen, the financial and commercial director of Raubex Construction and Chris Hart, a leading South African economist, who will provide insight into the complexities and opportunities being faced by companies trading in Africa.

    Komla Dumor, presenter of Africa Business Report, says: "It's a privilege to present Africa Business Report during a time in which the continent is developing its economic growth and business future. I've had the opportunity to travel the world but it's in Africa where I feel a real energy emerging from a generation of young entrepreneurs who are determined to compete on a global scale."
