china has previously been accused of suppressing the full extent of the epidemic in hubei. his annual state of the nation speech to parliament later in cape town. but can he make a convincing case that south africa is on the right track, and has turned the page on the years of corruption and mismanagement that preceded him?0ur africa correspondent andrew harding has been to the town of harrismith, where volunteers have taken on services that the municipality is supposed to provide. beautiful but broken. south africa is rotting from the bottom up. take the rural town of harrismith, now bankrupt. its entire infrastructure has now collapsed. we have a problem with water, electricity, sewage. do you think things will get that up? i don't think so. the problem is simple. for years, local officials have been looting the municipal budget. they owed £300 million just for electricity. all this equipmentjust sitting idle feels like the town is dying. a broken sewage plant sends everything straight to the river. money laundering, corruption, that is the cause of this. people are reloc

almost all of them were in hubei province where this outbreak began.as also a huge increase in the number of cases — there are more than 48000 in hubei — that's up 15,000. this upward shift is — in part — because a broader definition of the virus is now being used to diagnose people. here's the world health organisation on that. crucially we understand that most of these cases relate to a period going back over days and weeks and are retrospectively reported as cases since sometimes back to the beginning of the outbreak itself. nationally, the number of cases is close to 60,000. the death toll in china is now 1350. but in reality, it's higher. those who die at home are not being counted in officialfigures. and we know that people are choosing to do that. this article on the bbc news website details cases who say they don't want to be quarantined while seriously ill. that's they rather die at home. and while this crisis escalates, there's increasing pressure on the authorities — two officials in hubei have been sacked already. let's get more from stephe

number still continue to go up in hubei province, outside of hubei province, for more than a week, kinde, for more than a week, kind of a week and a half, the infection rate is coming down. the line it goes like that but it is trending down. it seems to suggest the strict measures being placed on people's movements in the very big cities of china are kind of working in terms of slowing the spread elsewhere. shanghai, for example, not one extra case yesterday. so, if we can believe the numbers, let's assume in trend terms at least they are worth considering, it seems to show a slowing of the spread of the virus outside of hubei province. but within hubei, especially wuhan, still very serious situation. not much activity going on in the street behind you, just as you are talking about strict quarantine measures and the way the cities have been shut down, any sense in china at this point about how long it will have to continue and how much unofficially it will continue across the rest of china? yeah, you know this neighbourhood very well, you would not recognise it at the moment. it is dea

health authorities in hubei province, the epicentre, have reported an increase in the number of deaths to the previous day. however, the number of new cases was down. well, the outbreak has brought the chinese health system back into to the spotlight, 18 years on from the sars outbreak. authorities say they are starting to build another ten makeshift hospitals like this one outside hubei's capital, wuhan, to treat more than 11,000 patients with mild symptoms. they have also announced new incentives for healthcare staff working on the frontline of the outbreak. the bbc‘s celia hatton has more. the children of frontline medical workers in hubei will be offered priority access, priority placements in schools. so young children will be given priority placements in really good kindergartens, all the way up to university placements. children who write their university entrance exams, they're going to be getting extra points added on to their exam total. in china, that's a really big deal. there's a lot of pressure on children to get into good schools, so that might actually tip the balance f
