Freedom Day for South Africa and the price of fashion for Bangladesh (E334)

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on South Africa, the Rana Plaza collapse and the week’s news. It's Freedom Day in Britain's former colony of South Africa - but will it ever mean freedom from Washington's IMF and the World Bank? We speak to South Africa's high commissioner to London, Obed Mlaba. And as a UK high street meltdown leaves 11,000 British workers bracing themselves for greater austerity, we speak to senior economic justice campaigner at War on Want, Owen Espley, about Bangladesh and its UK high street retail connections. Plus Afshin is joined once again by former news editor of the News of the World and managing director of ClearVista Media, Neville Thurlbeck, for a look at the best of the worst headlines of the week.
