Programming note: Greece - An Economic Odyssey to explore the Greek economic meltdown on Monday 19 July at 20:00 on CNBC Africa.



Greece: An Economic Odyssey is a one hour documentary which will be shown on Monday 16 July at 20:00 on CNBC Africa (DStv 410) with presenter Irene Nikolopoulou and narrated by CNBC Africa anchor Chris Bishop.

Greece: An Economic Odyssey will look at Greece's economic meltdown, what went wrong, and what steps are being taken and is necessary for a Greek recovery.

"We think the Greek cricis is one all Africa-watchers should know intimately because it has hurt us, but at the same time it has given us an opportunity to show Africa's investment worth," says Godfrey Mutizwa, CNBC Africa's editor-in-chief.

"This is a story showing how unbridled spending and unaccountability can bring even the strongest economies down, considering the fact that Greece was anchored by the European Union. Greece: An Economic Odyssey is the first of many incisive, in-depth and compelling stories that will come from CNBC Africa in the years and months ahead," says Godfrey Mutizwa.
