Wife of Tanzania's Lissu speaks to BBC
About this episode
The episode features an exclusive interview with Alicia Magabe, the wife of imprisoned Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu, discussing the impact of his incarceration on their family.
Once the target of an assassination attempt, Tanzania's opposition leader Tundu Lissu is now behind bars awaiting trial for treason. His case has become a test of political freedoms in the country and drawn international attention. BBC Africa Eye has now spoken exclusively to Lissu's wife, Alicia Magabe, about the toll his incarceration has taken on his family. And Lesotho's women are highly educated, but many are still being left behind in the workplace and in leadership. We ask why. Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Ayuba Iliya and Bella Twine Senior Producer: Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: David Nzau Editors: Rhoda Odhiambo and Maryam Abdalla
