    Africa Business Report will offer BBC World News viewers a revealing insight into the stories behind the continent's increasingly successful and diverse business culture, a statement from the BBC said. It said the first episode was produced in South Africa with a special report on uncovering the foundations of the country’s construction boom. The show looked at how a small business owner in the country was making money ahead of the arrival of the South African 2010 World Cup.

    Interviews with Francois Diedrechsen, the Financial and Commercial Director of Raubex Construction (Pty), Ltd and Chris Hart, a leading South African economist, provided a unique insight into the complexities and opportunities being faced by companies trading in Africa.

    The programme will be presented by Ghanaian Komla Dumor. He also presents The World Today - BBC World Service’s award-winning, daily news programme, covering news, current affairs, business and sport from around the world.
