Egypt are the champions of Africa for the third time in a row, beating the young Ghanaian team one nil. The 27th Cup of Nations, which started in such terrible circumstances three weeks ago has now concluded. We've seen some great skill, passion and some politics too - the latest being the decision to suspend Togo from the next two tournaments for pulling out of the competition.

Is the African Football Confederation right to fine Togo $50,000?

We also discuss the exodus of African footballers to Europe and the forthcoming FIFA World Cup. But are Africans getting as much out of the beautiful game as it's getting out of them?

Is football labour migration a modern form of slavery?

And what is the impact of football across the continent?

Henry Bonsu is joined by OUSMANE DIA from Platinum Sports Management and TOPI LYAMBILA, Sports Commentator www.topi-talk.com. Also featuring, Aaron Mokoena, Captain of the South African national team, Chris Nathaniel, Football Consultant, and Steve Bloomfield, Journalist and author of ‘Africa United: how football explains Africa' (2010).
