South African elections: the business view

On the final day of campaigning before South Africa goes to the polls in a general election, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Matthew Davies broadcasts from a cafe in Soweto, Johannesburg.

Also the takeover of Britain's biggest drug firm AstraZeneca by American rival Pfizer is now headline news in the UK, as politicians join the scientific community in expressing concern about the effect on jobs and research.
