<p>　　After four decades of reporting from the continent, Jonathan Dimbleby returns to Africa on a 7,000-mile journey to discover how it is changing.<br/>　　【Mali, Ghana and Nigeria】<br/>　　He starts his African journey in the capital of Mali, Bamako, the fastest-growing African city. Following the course of the Niger river, Dimbleby finds not a continent of beggars but of industrious people, some of whom go to extraordinary lengths to make a living, free-diving 20 feet to excavate building sand.<br/>　　Travelling north-east, he sees how tradition is preserved in an area where a sophisticated urban society has thrived for 1600 years. Jonathan gets his hands dirty as the apprentice of a 74-year-old mud mason in Djenne, a town built entirely of mud.<br/>　　In Ghana, one of Africa&#39;s freest and most stable countries, Jonathan sees a spectacular festival before playing a game of golf with the King of the Ashanti, who recalls his time working for Brent council. Dimbleby attends the King&#39;s court to see what lessons the UK can draw from traditional African structures that promote harmony and reconciliation.<br/>　　Jonathan discovers that the African brain drain is turning into a brain gain as economic opportunity and patriotism draw people home. Football unites Ghana like nothing else, superseding political and tribal divisions. There is a rich seam of young football talent on the continent in the year that the World Cup is hosted by an African nation for the first time.<br/>　　In Lagos, Nigeria&#39;s business capital, Jonathan Dimbleby sees a different take on a city that is often depicted as a hotbed of violence, crime and corruption. He is taken on a private jet by Africa&#39;s richest man, then savours the creative talents of two of African music&#39;s rising stars who are helping to cement Lagos&#39;s place as the continent&#39;s cultural hub.<br/>　　【Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania】<br/>　　On the second leg of his illuminating journey across Africa, Jonathan Dimbleby travels 2000 miles through East Africa&#39;s Rift Valley.<br/>　　Starting in Ethiopia, where he was the first journalist to report the 1973 famine, Dimbleby discovers the great strides being made to safeguard the country from future catastrophes.<br/>　　In Kenya he finds out how mobile phones are revolutionising small businesses and even the lives of Masai tribes.<br/>　　In Tanzania he joins in a football match with the judges and guards of Africa&#39;s own Human Rights Commission and meets the street kids in Dar-es-Salaam who are building an international profile for their music.<br/>　　【Congo, South Africa and Zambia】<br/>　　On the final leg of his 7,000-mile odyssey, Jonathan Dimbleby travels from Congo to Durban in search of the stories revealing contemporary Africa.<br/>　　He learns how China&#39;s billion-dollar deals have rebooted African economies, once dependent on Western aid and investment.<br/>　　Passing through Zambia, Jonathan survives a training session with boxing world champion Esther Phiri and meets Hugh Masekela, who shares with him his view of Africa&#39;s emerging revival.</p>
