to say, i just like to buy just present dw used on instagram, and follow up the hello and welcome to this special edition of the deputy news effort. so we're in south africa with the most contested election in the country's history is taking place. we're asking what's gone wrong here and who can fix this? it's been 30 years since the end of white minority roll. and the policy of nelson mandela has been in power here ever since. but the amc is in trouble. the tide may be turning on, the policy and africa is old. it's numeration movement is fighting to maintain its political dominance. the government is reading us for our close out of the past like every now and

nothing is close on the fact that the people are and we have the time people are stuff a lot, especially in terms of unemployment personality. myself picking. i have kids for graduates already, but it's tom that's because so that protect is in serious decline. unemployment, poverty and inequality have dropped many cell that pretends 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 alliances? problems and with dozens of pope poles on the ballots, new plays are changing the political scene. polls show them make in crowd winning

the votes. is this insurances with the established policies? the i'm christine one, do i? it's good to have your company. i've reported on a number of elections in south africa, but the general election sip on may 29th feels different. there is a strong sense yet that the result will be a game changer. the african national congress has ruled for 30 years. it's now facing. it's toughest, electro challenge. yes. a growing number of sub africans are dissatisfied with the state. the country is in and they blame the amc, the t x a 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, dutch, and 46 as 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 for south africa's 1st inclusive and democratic election in 1994. the amc one that election making nelson mandela. the country's 1st black president

please raise your right hand. i'm sorry. so help me. god saw how to make all 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 that he is, has been phenomenal, starting high end of nelson mandela and rising to standard levels and the trouble of 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're meeting black citizens lives. the president, serv. i'm a post. i've visited this area to campaign for boats. we joined him at the interested 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 theses running through the streets. here's the mug of sewage. water is flowing freely here. right now. cool. start done. we often don't have any electricity here. yeah, i mean, it goes off for long periods, one, even for a month, sometimes that big. those are the things that causes frustration,

the sky entries in this also causing frustration is the country's high unemployment rate. 40 percent of people old enough to work with out drops so that for 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 got most shutting out. it's been revealed that it was regularly over paying for basic supplies. it's a kind of maladministration that has lift. so that for can serious tend to have been used by business people with closer relationships to the amc, to enrich themselves, leaving a litany of corruption scandals. the for reasons like these,

the amc is in big trouble. prediction polls suggest support for the party. could even drop below 50 percent eviction goes 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. 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 said i don't have what young people won't fight for the i n c because we are unemployed because it will be painful for them because new policies are

going to come and take loads from them. they are going to, the new policies are responding to our needs as young people is that, but the, i, in the seems, seems to be stuck in the past. i the 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 pretends 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 call in malachi, and asked him about the worst one, corruption. those will clear up that one does have to be days. that's why i didn't see a setup systems for that day, is if you're

a child learning 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 on 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 up she and in was the split up a window confidence that enough. it's enough for those, i'll cut out mostly what can i we shouldn't because it will get screw up out and try to like club cards of because i have them inside 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, it's not able to run that. it comes to the organization tend to be there to save the people in advance that the end of the part 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 western 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 pulls up 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 the export, the imports trade 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. but the one that ended up at the end of the stuff. and what did she want? anyone who's a d. i those kind of agree is that the post of the isn't rated to us is sort of to go to bed. do i put that there is some polling suggesting that you'll parties 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 take like be fully equipped. the ends is more of that tech than ever now. now i think that we've got quotes and ended up at the end so you can take, it's easy to be able to time to do, and i take it kind of thought stalled the present. but actually thank you so much for you so much in this election for the 1st time in 30 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 x. 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 full a campaign video from the democratic alliance. it is promising to rescue south

africa from the amc. a controversial taxi from the main opposition party, which 121 percent of the national photos in between the 19 election. but it is only devin 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 or stated the growing large moving to it's also different because it's not a side by the opposition. and like the ac is meaning of the successes in cape 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. these things are quite important to all people who in the

indian is, or that when i set up where you join us in the da's track record has not yet to convince team 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 needed john ski and he's in his taking these parties, whisky saw the african message across the country, mainly focusing on areas that have traditionally voted for the agency. he knows the part he needs to attract these voltage. if it is to overtake the routing parts and at the polls, but what about those? well, i'm sitting 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 people, especially the quality an economic, any quality that still exists in south africa use officer parts it. and absolutely, the waste of cape is not perfect. still good a lot to do and that's why we saying 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. the democratic alliance will have to show voters that he works with citizens of old backgrounds. if it wants to unseat b a and see the only alternative that we have been able to come out and install companies that yep, is the one that i relate to is the one that talks about the problems that you should go to account is the one that addresses the issues that the people are facing, the pool, the much of the life, the print, i think if, if it presents me so all the policies, i think the waking for, for me. so that's why i said, let me uh, come and support the party as if it's given me that think this n c have never given me. i'm 35 and nobody's going to hire me. but really, as,

as i have home 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 used meet leader between 282010. the parties focus on land redistribution has been a major draw pod to young person so many of whom believe the amc sold out during negotiations with the parts they needed. the airpods they thought lead, utilize the fact that the don't the light, 80 percent of the lead in the hands of the wind jobs. if you pull up the by defect about drop let's, let's install it. that's what you've got today. seat at both on 50 the meat are 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 gift to us because they've got the right facilities. the closer to the economic centers with if it can wait in a short distance and so on. it's tails, right? please just pop up menu. we'd be the bed within 15 reviews. reviews just eliminates the content by you have to learn from funding, take on just the data, make the tough decisions we need to the teachers to get land is the big issues in

south africa and it's in your manifesto, land reform. how do you propose rolling onto the policy of land reform here in south africa? so far by there is nothing in the phone. it's patients of these institutions pledge forms within the context. we've just spoken about to crank population. she started commented justice and immunization, fitness question, what else? i think that's right. what do they need with the get the they need probably come many to see me choose the top of the network infrastructure and so on. one of the instruments that is provided in our constitution is expectation of demand with compensation. the government is not done the cost diesel plan, because the costs of the machine 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 pay the old not fit and the amount of money that you sent in to provide the services that you need to provide. what of calls is made? some you can vary on it. yes, but i is a demo. i'll pay 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 condensation is one in the areas you have lots of what i meant on us . when you see there must be a little machine. nissan compensation impala is you wanted to maybe let the government officials to make it so patient decision and get, you know, caught up to the site. you're going to get some for sending that over. and then you're telling me it's what we did by a quarter of this year and they cost the for to read the lawyer we would need to fight the case for told me to talk to this is that this has been physicians as

a whitish, almost 10 years old to one areas and 10 people were to give the government power to take the unlimited compensation. you wouldn't have this model walk away, but it's not a big white spot to pay people what to say don't amount perfectly in the process of acquiring net we sit out by all skin with i'll definitely co wind wrong and who might be able to solve its challenges so if south africa on the decline, i put that question seductive sampling better 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 on the tide in terms of being able to provide for the people that lives here. so that i think that no malice she

will be good for so that i think the good i think being this miracle of 1994 and this you know, relatively peaceful transition from the past day 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 south africa. 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 attend 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 were 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 and 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's because should be treated like a country of states. um, so that because a normal country with deep, deep, deep problems, many historical, but also many created in the present. and i'm looking for to us having the time in the space to deal with the reality of who south africa is not to the international community imagines it's a 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 am, the i with children can post. as we get educated, they will be significant change even better than what they saw in 1994, the beautiful and this more that shouldn't be done to go to africa. 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. it keeps on. people afraid he cannot be all likely can to get. uh, i know it says a friendly nation. so the, all the, the, the
