Focus on Africa is a BBC news programme broadcast on the international feed of the BBC News channel, and on local partner channels of the BBC in African countries.[1] The programme was presented by Komla Dumor each weekday from its inception until his sudden death, aged 41, in January 2014.[2] The programme includes news, sport and business from across Africa and around the world.
The programme was closely related to Dira ya Dunia, an African-focused programme broadcast on BBC Swahili, which noticeably used the same title sequence.
