The African Business Editor’s Roundtable is a new forum in which our journalists debate some of the most important business stories on the continent.

In this episode, African Business magazine editor David Thomas is joined by publisher Omar Ben Yedder and digital editor and reporter Shoshana Kedem. We talk about South Africa’s proposed deal to sell a 51% stake in South African Airways to a private consortium, the implications on the tech industry of Nigeria’s surprise Twitter ban, and ask how Ethiopia will deal with the developing famine in Tigray.
