Zimbabwe business ownership: 'Laws are protecting locals'

Foreign businesses in Zimbabwe have just 48 hours to meet new ownership rules.

From 1 January, foreign-owned shops, wholesalers and hairdressers risk losing their licence to operate in the country if they fail to make the necessary changes.

The BBC's Brian Hungwe reports from Harare.
