Africa’s debt crisis hinders development projects

Across Africa, a growing debt crisis is threatening development. Combined, African countries owe over a trillion dollars in public debt, and the rising cost of servicing these loans is forcing many governments to delay or cancel key infrastructure and social projects.

South Africa, which holds the G20 presidency this year, is pushing for coordinated solutions to ease the pressure on struggling economies.

Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller reports from Durban.
