Focus on Africa at 60Full coverageFocus on Africa had by this time got a reputation as the programme that gave space for opposition voices to be heard. I finally got to South Africa in October 1989 and started a love affair with that country. Milton Nkosi, later to become BBC Johannesburg bureau chief, was fresh out of school and had started work in the BBC office with Mike Woolridge. And a jug of iced Pimms as the tensions eased in the Focus office at the end of a broadcast at the height of summer. My recollections of Focus on Africa are from a different era, but then I am an old woman.
