South Africans face supply chain problems

After days of unrest, South Africans have been urged to stop panic buying fuel.

After days of unrest, South Africans have been urged to stop panic buying fuel. Layton Beard of the Automobile Association of South Africa offers us his reaction, and we get a sense of the wider picture. Also in the programme, the Korean palm oil giant Korindo has been ejected from the world's leading green certification body, the Forest Stewardship Council, in the wake of a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ investigation. We find out more from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Rebecca Henschke. On UN Young Skills Day, we speak to Dimitris Lampros and Rania Vlachou of Swim Me, who have created a smart swimming cap and goggles that enable blind people to be more aware of where they are in a pool. Plus, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Russell Padmore reports on the challenges faced by pubs in Ireland, which have had to remain closed throughout most of the coronavirus pandemic.
