10:31 pm
amc our clients have in the past like every now and nothing is quoted on the fact that the people, the time people stuff a lot. especially in terms of unemployment. i personally myself picking. i have used for graduates already, but it's tough. that's because south africa is in serious decline. unemployment poverty in, in a policy have dropped many cell that pretends mostly flat, of a dignified standard of living. the biggest opposition party say 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,
10:32 pm
new players are changing the political scene. polls show them making crowd winning rows of votes. is this in chances with the established policy? the christine, when do i, it's good to have your company. i've reported on a number of elections in south africa, but the general election simple may. 29th feels different. there is a strong sense yet, but 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 t x a in bringing about south africa's freedom off the dock is of oppressive white minority rule has a brief look back at the era known as the policies in the racially
10:33 pm
segregated south africa. black people were 2nd class citizens. the highest stages in society was reserved for white people who would defend himself, dutch, 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,
10:34 pm
the government did not tolerate the sense, 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 he's comm rates 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 form the foundation of the apologies the system had been repealed, making the way for south africa's 1st inclusive and democratic election in 1994.
10:35 pm
the agency won that election, making nelson mandela, the country's 1st black president. 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,
10:36 pm
but this time the amc is facing an uncertain future post point to the result and the 50 percent. and the loss of its absolute majority the smell of rubbish mixes with sewage. it's a powerful cocktail that residents have gotten used to living with. and this is a familiar site across south africa's township areas. we made the black citizens live president, so i'm a post. i've visited this area to campaign for votes. we joined him as the interested with residents listening to the consent this lifetime agency support to us happy to see room a poster. so he would tell him exactly how bad it is here. big guy, there's theses running through the streets. here's the sewage. water is flowing freely here, my old quote start done. we often don't have any electricity here. yeah. it goes
10:37 pm
off for long periods, one, even for a month, sometimes i big. those are the things that causes frustration that comes out by increasing this. also causing frustration is the countries high unemployment rates, 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 gone, was shutting out. it's been revealed that it was regularly overpaying, so basic supplies. it's a kind of melon ministration that has lift. so that for can serious tend to have been used by business people with closer relationships to the amc to enrich
10:38 pm
themselves leaving a litany of corruption scandal. the what is for reasons like these, the amc is in big trouble because prediction polls suggest support for the party. could even drop below 50 percent eviction goes up because we know what's going to happen. and the people in this hole and the people of south africa know in their own. so what they're waiting to do in terms of getting the amc and overwhelming majority. but the majority of voters in this election are john saw the african 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 child of those said i don't have what young people won't fight to the i n c
10:39 pm
because we are unemployed because it will be painful to them because new policies are going to come and take loads from that vehicle that the new policies are responding to our needs as young people is that, but the, i in the same thing has to be stuck in the past. i then not looking after on somebody's hug, i quote that unhappiness is expected to cost be a and see bill 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 tend things around the but up to 3 decades in power. the amc is suffering a wide range of electoral ills. i spoke with the agencies youth, the president calling malachi, and asked him about the worst one, corruption. those will come up that one does have to be days. that's why i didn't
10:40 pm
see we'll set up systems for that day, is if you're a child learning funky and if you're a child of corruption, we requested just double sided as a member of the event government because of step outside of it, the play of the nc and teen q need, so those types of tables move on knowledge of the is a part of our problems that we've faced over time. is that i was going to vision has been associated with what i've seen in in was the split up a window confidence that have enough. it's enough for those. they'll cut off most new organization because it will get screwed up and try to corrupt cards of the inside, you know, and they've been fighting 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. one that comes to the organization tend to be there to save the people in advance that you end up doing in part where at a time wait, geopolitical relations around the world are shifting. you have power centers
10:41 pm
emerging all over the world. i know that it's, it's been a long held emission of the agency to break wisdom hit you. mooney, young people in this country, not 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 pulls up within the, our poster there, but also in the west. i mean most that i don't know if we ever saw some of the sort of a lot of explore the, the parts please. i agreements i most do 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 one day at the end of the stuff. and what did she want? anyone who's a d, i those kind of agree, is it a post of the is the rated to us is set up for the 2 bedroom. there is some polling suggesting that your pots eats the amc for the 1st time. might struggle at 2 suits
10:42 pm
when a majority in the selection, the fact that that's even part of the conversation isn't that a daunting prospect. we've never been on that take like before the eclipse is going to take them ever now. now i think that we kept close and on the day and see if it can take it's eastern able to time to think about take it kind of thought, stalled and 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 lice. we're on the get to us to this election is about some 5 of unites to risk to south africa vote d a. you just saw
10:43 pm
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 devin at provincial level. it runs the west and takes the www style pool. could travel to cape town to look at the policies report 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 tubs and a sort of to relocation destination for most of africans and foreigners. it's one of the few places we jobs, a steadily growing, largely due to me. it's also different because it's not run by the side, by the opposition. like many of the successes in cape town and the greater the
10:44 pm
problems are due to his policy interventions. it believes that can replicate this success in the risk of south africa and risk you the country from what it says is 50 years of amc mismanagement. but there's another side of cape town aside, we are a resident, struggle to find decent, affordable accommodation rates in cape town, up to 40 percent higher. they need to have this book and formal 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 a job so located. they say they simply isn't enough social, a housing available and a consent that the prices for rental in other areas, a simply to high life. yeah. means living with many basic needs needing some residents to feel leaked down by the d. a administration. i find that we, we don't have electricity, we don't have water. and we also don't have toilets,
10:45 pm
which is the toilet. this is, these things are quite important to all people who in the indian is all in the 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. 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, risky south africa 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 routing parts 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 deep specially the quality and economic any quality that still exists in south africa use officer parts it. and absolutely,
10:46 pm
the waste of cape is not perfect. still got 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 n c, b i n c. the only alternative that we have been able to get out of the night. we installed the f. f 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 he presents me so all the policies, i think a waking 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 mc,
10:47 pm
have never given me. i'm 35 and nobody's going to hire me. but really, as, as i have 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 solutions. many of whom believe the amc sold out during negotiations with a positive needed the airpods. they thought lead utilize the fact that the don't the light, 80 percent of the load is either one of the wide jobs. if you put the bike defective, but drop, let us know. so that's what he got today. seat at both on 50 the meet are people
10:48 pm
who are comfortable to wait an hour and perfect. so now is because our stop funding is here, pitney. now, there are thousands of political policies standing in this election. many of them knew, profiting from voters 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 rise, some sense 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 cent does, we have to pretend where it's in a short distance and so on. it's tails, right? please just pop up menu. we'd be back within 15 reviews. reviews just eliminates the confidence but you have to learn from funding. due august,
10:49 pm
the data make the tough decisions we need to take to get the land is the big issues in south africa edits 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 create population. she started commented justice and immunization. sit in this question, right. 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 expectation of men with compensation. the government is not done because these will because it costs through. she says, you must explore periods for a poppy purpose, so you must be clear why you need and then identify each. so the context of the
10:50 pm
plan, it's for page 2 page. it will 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 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 let us take? 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 see there must be a little machine, he thought, compensation impala is an easy one to maybe level government officials and making 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 i'd be totally needed for pre did by a quarter up to from she a. and because the for to read the lawyer,
10:51 pm
we would need to fight the case for the problem is to talk to this is that this has been positioned as a net white dish, almost 10 years old to 180 s and 1050, a way to give the government power to take the unlimited conferences, you wouldn't have this model or we got some other pictures white, but the people want to say don't amount perfectly in the course of how quiet net we set 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 symbol embedded 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
10:52 pm
for the people that lives here. so that i think that no malice, 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 associates of 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 re, i live to 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. um 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
10:53 pm
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 have 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
10:54 pm
realistic about what south africa is, what it's kind of t, 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 imagines it's a once it's that's also the special edition of deeds of the news africa on the south african elections. this week is off to the end of the policies, will leave you with the voices of the people who have the final say, south african verses on their hopes for the future. i'll see you next time by
10:55 pm
the way, up to one of us. so my trust change here in south africa is going to win. 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 want 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
