Uncertainty over Brexit has forced the banking giant Goldman Sachs to make plans to relocate its European headquarters away from the UK.
Kenya Airways will appoint a former head of Poland's LOT airline as its new chief executive.
And a global surplus of cocoa forces the price of the commodity down for farmers in West Africa.
The chief executive of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein, has told the BBC that the financial capital of Europe, London, faces significant hurdles if a "very good" deal is not struck with the European Union for the UK's future relationship with the bloc. The investment banking giant, which employs more than six thousand in the UK, has already made "contingency plans" to relocate workers. However Lloyd Blankfein says he wants to keep London as the bank's European headquarters, but if Brexit talks are not completed soon, the company will have to finalise plans to acquire extra offices space in Dublin or Frankfurt.
Kenya Airways will have a new managing director and chief executive next month. The troubled carrier has appointed Sebastian Mikosz the former head of LOT airline in Poland to revive its fortunes. Here's the BBC's Michael Koloki in Nairobi.
Script by Russell Padmore: Sebastian Mikosz, who also served as the head of the online travel firm eSky in Poland, will face a tough challenge to get debt ridden Kenya Airways flying through smoother skies. He takes over in June from Mbuvi Ngunze, who has faced calls to resign from the airline's pilots, whose trade union said it had no confidence in his ability to steer the company back to recovery. Mister Mikosz faces the challenge of restoring profitability at a loss making airline, burdened with one point four billion dollars of debt.
The price of cocoa has fallen significantly in recent months, as the commodity markets react to a bumper crop in West Africa creating a global surplus. Plantations in countries like Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria are major suppliers of beans, which are exported to food companies, such as chocolate makers, mostly in Europe. The fall in cocoa prices is a setback for economies in West Africa, as well as small scale farmers that grow the crop. Doctor Jean-Marc Anga is the executive director of the International Cocoa Organisation in Abijdan.
South Africa's ruling African National Congress has accused the judiciary of pandering to the opposition with the order for President Jacob Zuma to explain why he fired the former finance minister Pravin Gordhan. The main opposition Democratic Alliance, which filed the court application, has called for a no-confidence motion against Mister Zuma in parliament. The ANC has urged President Zuma to appeal the High Court ruling which triggered street protests against him and led to more calls for his resignation.
How should Africa distribute its prosperity more widely? Many of the continent's economies are expanding. But that's not always leading to more jobs. It's a big focus for discussion at this year's World Economic Forum, in the South African port city of Durban. The aim has been to convince African leaders to adapt their policies to be more "inclusive", so more people benefit from economic growth. From Durban, the BBC's Matthew Davies reports.
