is unreasonable of stuff. what is this nonsense? i want my son to become a doctor during the time. and then when generations to mash the hello and welcome to this special edition of the deputy news efforts. so we're in south africa with the most contested election and the country's history is taking place. we're asking what's gone wrong here and who can fix it? it's been 30 years since the end of white minority rules. and the policy of nelson mandela has been in power here ever since. but the amc is in trouble. the tides may be turning on the policy and africa is old. it's new operation movement is fighting to maintain its political dominance. the government is fading us.

default amc, our clients have in the past like every now and nothing is quoted on the fact that the people, the people stuff a lot especially in terms of unemployment. i personally myself teaching. i have used for graduates already, but it's tom that's because south africa is in serious decline. unemployment poverty in, in a policy have dropped many south africans, mostly flat, of a dignified standard of living. the biggest opposition policy says it can do a better job. but it's not convincing enough closes. so what is the democratic alliance has problems and with dozens of pope poles on the ballots,

new plays are changing the political scene. polls show them making ground winning rows of votes is this and chances would be established policies. the christine, when do i, it's good to have your company. i've reported on a number off the elections in south africa, but the general election simple may. 29th feels different. there is a strong sense here that the result will be a game changer. the african national congress has ruled for 30 years. it's now facing its toughest electro challenge. he gets a growing number of sub africans off dissatisfied with the state. the country is in and they blame the amc. the key actor in bringing about south africa's freedom off the dock is of oppressive white minority rule. here's a brief look back at the era known as the policies in the racially

segregated south africa. black people were 2nd cost citizens. the highest spaces in society was reserved for white people who would defend himself, batch, and preachers, sickness. they had privileged access to the best of the countries public facilities . the segregation officially known as a policy began in 1948. but it was rooted in the country's history of colonization as a pause, a little required black people to carry a possible which stipulated with they were permitted to work and travel. the system can do the harassment of black people. the,

the government did not tolerate descent, but that didn't stop people from showing their position. they were frequent mass demonstrations to which police responded with people for in 1960. so the african police opened fire on thousands of demonstrations in shop full township, killing 69 people. again lisa nelson, mandela and the amc took up the struggle against the policies. for this he and his comrades were branded terrorist and lisa sentenced to life in prison. but the resistance continued inside south africa and around the world by the 1990s, much of the legislation that storm the foundation of the apology system had been repealed, making the way to south africa's 1st inclusive and democratic election in 1994.

the agency won that election, making nelson mandela, the country's 1st black president. raise your right hand. i'm sorry, so it helped me. god saw how the country was full of hope and promise blacks and whites would long been divided. would united and the agency would continue to dominate south africa's policies with those of wyoming majority support at the bank of thoughts by any measure. the agencies electoral success over the past is he is, has been phenomenal starting high end of nelson mandela and rising to spending levels and to tell them babies all time high, just shy of 70 percent. 20 years ago. even the decline of jacob c. my is relative and below watermark of 58 percent of silver. i'm a pool, so is a result. most democratically elected parties can only dream of but this time the

amc is facing an uncertain future post point to the result and the 50 percent. and the last so if it's absolute majority the smell of rubbish mixes with sewage. it's a powerful cocktail that residents have gotten used to living with. this is a familiar site across south africa's township areas. we many black citizens live, the president serv. i'm a post, i've visited this area to campaign for boats. we joined him at the interacted with the residents, listening to the consent this lifetime agency support to was happy to see remo, pulitzer. so he would tell him exactly how bad it is here. big guy, there's pieces running through the streets. here's the sewage. water is flowing freely here, right now, quotes stored done. we often don't have any electricity here. yeah. it goes all for

long periods. one, even for a month, sometimes i big. those are the things that causes frustration comes out by increasing this. also causing frustration is the countries high unemployment rate, 40 percent of people old enough to work all with out drops so that's what kids are also experiencing coupling electricity crisis. at its worst, some areas winds without power for over 8 hours a day. imagine paying 5 times the market price for a roll of toilet paper. that's what public probably utility is. scott was shutting out. it's been revealed that it was regularly over paying for basic supplies. it's a kind of maladministration that has lived. so the efforts and serious pendants have been used by business people with closer relationships to the amc to enrich

themselves, leaving a litany of corruption skin. the for reasons like these, the amc is in big trouble because prediction polls suggest support for the party could even dropped below 50 percent and addiction those up cause we know what's going to happen and the people in this whole and the people of south africa know in their own and so what they're waiting to do in terms of giving the amc and overwhelming majority. but the majority of voters in this election, or john south africa who grew up under the amc administration of the although housing, the water supply and sanitation may have improved during the lifetimes. they're unhappy about the put it nomic prospects. well, no. try to go ahead. i don't have what young people won't fight to the i n c

because we are unemployed because it will be painful for them because new policies are going to come and take notes from the vehicle that the new policies are responding to our needs. as young people is that when the i and the same thing has to be stuck in the past act, they're not looking after on somebody's how got quote that unhappiness is expected to cost b and c deals at the polls. the amc leadership sees the party has turned over a new leaf and should not be judged on past governments failures on the 29th of may. so that for tenants will give the assessment of when they think the agency can truly turn things around the bit up to 3 decades in power. the amc is suffering a wide range of electoral ills. i spoke with the agencies youth the president's call in malachi, and asked him about the worst one, corruption. those will come up when do they have to be days?

that's why i didn't see a setup systems for that day, is if you're a child, it's not even funky. and if you're a child of corruption, we requested to step aside as a member of the government because of step outside of the display of the nc and teen q need the tablet tables. move like knowledge of the is a part of our problems that we're faced over time. you've got the output is going to vision, has been associated with what i've seen in that. and we'll focus when up a window confidence that enough is enough for those will cut out mostly what can i received because it will get screw up unplugged to the club card of the implied you know, and it will impact in the world. i'd say it's quite up kind of tough to cause a you, i yeah, of course are good access to the source, the, the access to the bad. no, not able to on that, it comes to the organization tend to be there to save the people in advance that the end of the impact were at a time with geopolitical relations around the world are shifting. if you have power

centers emerging all over the world, i know that it's, it's been a long held emission of the agency to break wisdom hedge, monique young people in this country, having to decide between the east and, and, and the west and alliance. so to say, do you think south africa should cause it more to ally with wisdom, power, east impalas, excuse me, like china and russia as opposed to the west? look at the is the ticket most pulse of what you know, our poster there. but also, even though, as they've invested, i don't know if we ever saw some of that sort of a lot of uh, export the import said please agreements mostly with the wife. no, i'm saying that the only thing that the one, the one from one of these countries i don't want to be seated. then one day ended up at the end of the stuff. and what did she want? anyone who's a lady who i do is kind of agrees with the post of the is the rated to us is sort of to go to bed. do i put that there is a some polling suggesting that you'll part see the amc for the 1st time might

struggle at to, to, to, to win a majority in this election. the fact that, that's even part of the conversation isn't that a daunting prospect. we've never been on the tech like before. the eclipse is going to take them ever now. now i think that we kept close and ended up at the end, so you can take it is the able to time to do. i'm about to consult stalled the present, but actually thank you so much for you so much in this election for the 1st time in 15 years and they will news it's majority, but they will do anything to stay in power image and quietness in between the amc the filing f, f m function and then this is quite an issue of corruption lives. we're on the get twist and this election is about some 5 us unites to risk to south africa vote d a. you just saw

a campaign video from the democratic alliance. it is promising to rescue south africa from the amc. a controversial taxi from the main opposition policy, which 121 percent of the national flows in between the 19 election. but it is only dev and at provincial level, it runs the west and takes the www. style pool could travel to cape town to look at the policies record and what it has to offer. so that we can city like no other cape tony's homes over 4000000 people. and the numbers keep growing. the city has become an investment hub and a sort of to relocation destination for south africans and foreigners. it's one of the few places we jobs, a state of the growing largely due to moving to it's also different because it's not a side by the opposition and like the meaning of the success of the town.

and the great problems are due to its policy interventions. it believes that can replicate this success in the risk of south africa and rescue the country from what it sees is 30 years of amc mismanagement. but there's another side of cape town aside. we have residents struggle to find decent, affordable accommodation rates in k town are up to 40 percent higher. they need to have this book informal settlements like this one have sprung up all across cape town. residents loved us, say they want to be close to public transport routes and close to the city center with the jobs are located. they say they simply isn't enough social housing available and a consent that the prices for rental in other areas, simply to high life. yeah, means living without meaning, basically needing some residents to feel leaked down by the d. a administration. finally we, we don't have electricity,

we don't have water. and we also don't have toilets, which is the toilet. this is, these things are quite important to all people who in the immigration is that when i set up will you join us in the da's track record has not yet convinced him to vote for it does seem to be trying to deliver and, but there's many people in the western cape it's trying, but we're not really satisfied. yeah, even though there's more than seeing the, the john ski and he's in his taking these parties risk, you saw the african message across the country, mainly focusing on areas that have traditionally voted for the agency. he knows the party needs to attract these voltage committees to overtake the really important at the polls. but what about those? what i'm certain about the da's track record in the waste, in case you're not going to get everything rocked over not it's going to take some time with deep specially the quality an economic inequality that still exists in south africa use of to are part of it and absolutely,

the waste of cape is not perfect. still good a lot to do and that's why we think there's lots more to do. so that we can voters have made it clear that the on promises they will judge parties in this election on the track record. democratic alliance will have to show voters that he works with citizens of old backgrounds. if it wants to n c p a and see that you have is the only alternative that we have been able to come out and i will use the up is the one that i relate to is the one that talks about the problem, the issue or the account is the one that i thought was the issues that the people are facing, the pool, the much of the life, the print, i think if, if you present me so all the policies i think the working for, for me. so that's why if it let me uh, come and support the party and that they've given me something that's n c have

never given me. i'm 35 and nobody's going to hire me. but really as a whole, the off the top 3 place policies, any one is expected to grow its share, often floats. the economic freedom fights is o e offense. it has been very deliberate in courting young versus the 5th is led by 43 year old julius my lima who rose to prominence as the a n. c. youth meet leader between 282010. the parties focus on land redistribution has been a major tool called to young person, so many of whom believe the amc sold out during negotiations with a positive meeting. but as far as they thought lead, utilize the fact that the don't deny 30 percent of the leg is either one of the wide jobs if you booked it by the fact about dropping those notes in. so that's what you've got today. seat at both on 50 to meet or people who are

comfortable to wait an hour and perfect. so now is because our stop funding is typically now there are thousands of political policies standing in this election. many of them knew, profiting from purchase hopes for change, hopes that can not be fulfilled by the 3 big policies. sonya, as well as the, the, is the lead to off the rice incense, the policy. i close up with him and so with hope and asked him about his plan to make informal settlements and things of the past. the ease, no plan, so profile in sleep build communities which cannot become get to us because they've got the right facilities. the closer to the economic centers with if we can waive a short distance and so on. it's calles. provide please this pop up menu, we'd be the said within 15 reviews, reviews just eliminates the po box you have to learn from funding because the data

make the tough decisions we need to take to get land is the big issues in south africa and it's in your manifesto, land reform, how do you propose rolling out the policy of land reform here in south africa? so far by there is nothing and therefore it's patients of these institutions pledge forms within that context. we've just spoken about to crank population. she started commented justice and immunization. fitness question provides, what do they need with the get they they need, public amenities, they need physical network infrastructure in sullen. one of the instruments that is provided in the institution is exploitation of men. with compensation. the government is not done. the cost is most plans because it costs through. she says, you must explore periods for a poppy purpose. so you must be clear why you need

a land identify each. so the context of the plan, it's for page. you page it or not fit in the amount of money that you sent in to provide the services that you need to provide. but of calls is made, some people are very on it. yes, but i is a demo puppy. the views at this. expropriation should happen without compensation, can the south african states afford to compensate people whose majesty. so let me give you a sense of why compensation is one in the areas you have lots of hold on mental illness. when you say there must be a little machine. he thought compensation, and you impala is you wanted maybe level company deficiency, making it so patient decision. and you end up caught opposite sides. you're going to get some force and that was totally me if feel free did by a quarter of to, for me. she a and because the for to read the lawyer way and you would need to fight the case

for the problem is the plug to this is that this has been positioned as a white inch, almost 10 years old to run. it is intended to be a way to give the government. if paula could take the compensation, you wouldn't have this model or we but some other page is white. but the people want to say don't amount particularly in the course of a higher net we set out by asking with all that for co wind wrong and who might be able to solve its challenges. so is south africa on the decline? i put that question to dr. assembly in bed 2 political sciences at the university of pretoria. south africa, it is on the has not subject to the promise of 1994. and it certainly i think in many areas under the tide in terms of being able to provide

for the people that lives here. so that i think that no mallets, he will be good for south africa. i think the good, i think being this miracle of 1994 and this, you know, relatively peaceful transition from authority to democracy has been a major big heavy yoke to carry for the country. and for the people that lived yet because the expectation of what south africa is um and, and could be, has often been completely out of touch with the reality of, of what it is and what it was recovery from to because and so i think that a dose of healthy expectations is a good thing to solve that frontier. and, and i think that one of the major uh, kind of hurdles and what i would like to see being focused on from now is to really

attempt to attack the deep and the quality that is in this country. because the reality is that the country is in some ways more an equal than it was in 1994. the people that will wealthy in 1994 has only become wealthier. you've still got massive disparities between white people and black peoples, what quality of life and, and the a young person who was born in 1994 con, see very much what is big to about 2024, to 1984. where as for me, who was born in 1984 i so and i lived through a dramatic improvement in my life and my life chances. and we need to give that back to kids who are living now. and i think part of that means being really

realistic about what south africa is, what it can achieve. i'm not trying to live up to some of the image of the american states. even nelson mandela said he was not a thing. and he didn't want to be treated as one, and i don't think that's how that because should be treated like a country of states. um, so that is a normal country with deep, deep, deep problems, many historical, but also many created in the present. and i'm looking forward to us having the time and the space to deal with the reality of who south africa is not to the international community. imagine that once it's that's also the special edition of the vin use africa on the south african elections. the thing is all through the end of the policies will leave you with the voices of the people who have the final say, south african votes is on their hopes for the future. i'll see you next time by

the us some a trustee change here in south africa. the answer is going to win the i'm positive because it's a, it's a, it's going to when people can see this change, education is the key way to know who i want. the children can post. as we get educated, they will be significant change even better than what they saw in 1994, the beautiful and there's more that can be done to get everything. and i believe, honest as the youth coming up, we have so much clearly that just to change or con,

no, i feel like the call to service. okay. some people are afraid. i cannot be all likely can to get a. um, no, it's just a friendly nation. so the all the, the, the
