## Resource

Foreign nationals in South Africa are facing renewed fears following the latest wave of xenophobic attacks, which have reportedly killed nine Mozambican nationals. Ghana and Mozambique have begun evacuating some of their citizens, while other countries are considering similar moves. We hear from those fleeing the tensions and how they are rebuilding life in their home countries. Then, we head to Lagos to meet acclaimed Nigerian musician and producer Cobhams Asuquo. Born visually impaired, he taught himself to play the piano and went on to help shape the sound of modern African music. BBC Outlook's Tommy Dixon meets him to discuss his journey, his music, and navigating life without sight. Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers:Godwin Asediba, Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Technical Producer: David Nzau Senior Producer: Keikantse Shumba Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla
