South Africa and the fight against TB

BBC 14 mar 2026 English

Tuberculosis remains the world’s deadliest infectious disease, with South Africa experiencing one of the highest burdens but also leading scientific progress in treatment, vaccines, diagnostics and prevention. Research in the country relies heavily on funding from U.S. institutions, but this support has declined following decisions made by the Trump administration in early 2025. Reporting from Cape Town highlights the challenges faced by both affected communities and scientific institutions as they struggle under the weight of the disease and reduced financial support.

In February 2025, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order offering prioritised refugee status to Afrikaner farmers hoping to escape what he described as a “genocide” in South Africa. With America’s 2026 refugee intake capped at just 7,500 people, President Trump’s move to prioritise resettlement of white South African farmers reignited global controversy when he referenced widely disputed claims of forced appropriation of land and a “genocide” against white farmers - claims amplified online by South Africa’s richest man, Elon Musk. #BBCAfricaEye reporter Claire Mawisa travels to South Africa’s Free State to uncover the truth behind these claims. She meets farmers fearing for their lives after brutal attacks, and others who insist the “white genocide” narrative distorts a far more complex story of crime, inequality, and fear that spreads across races and classes.

In the late 1980s, private security guard Louis van Schoor fatally shot dozens people in the South African city of East London. All of his victims were black. The youngest was just 12 years old. It is a bloodbath that places Van Schoor among the most prolific killers in history. He was caught and arrested in 1991. But with many of his shootings signed off by local police as ‘justifiable homicides,’ he would receive a shockingly light sentence - serving only 12 years in jail. Decades have past, but the relatives of his victims have never found closure. How many people did Van Schoor really kill? And who else was involved? It's been thirty years since the white supremacist apartheid regime crumbled. The unresolved trauma of this time has cast a long shadow across a nation. In piecing together the story of Van Schoor, this #BBCAfricaEye investigation exposes the disturbed past and racial injustices of South Africa itself.

A film made in Mozambique in 2016 for the Egmont Trust. In 2007 The Egmont Trust, a UK-based charity that helps children in Africa living with HIV and AIDS, began funding Meninos de Moçambique, an organisation that supports street children in Maputo. This film follows the life story of Aida, a young woman who was once a street child herself and who Meninos helped. It was commissioned by Egmont in 2016 and is being used as a fundraising film.
