may require a major news humanitarian operation at the same time that the ongoing cycle response targeting three million people in three countries remain critically on the funding. it's the first time in recent history two storms of hit mozambique and one cycling season six weeks ago cycle to die devastated the south where more people live in neighboring malawi and zimbabwe were also hard hit killing at least a thousand people and leaving a trail of destruction the extent of the damage caused by this latest cycle is still too early to say. the al-jazeera. stuff will break here al-jazeera when we come back. to the region in spain that's coming its hopes for independence on the outcome of sunday's elections plus. life is a game from the been seeking a state from the war in that state to. head

over what is generally quite quiet to over parts of the middle east at the moment you see a little bit of cloud just drifting its way across parts of iran but nothing too significant as you head out through afghanistan you see a little bit more in the way of cloud that could give us a few showers and still want to outbreaks of snow but all of that is clearing away for the west there's also only one or two showers around parts of turkey at the moment i think those will intensify as we head into monday and some of the downpours will be rather lively but that's really the only regions of what weather for the south though there's more crowd here and there's also more activity lots of pondering lightning out of the cloud over parts of saudi arabia and is a drifting its way eastwards we see a fair amount of cloud and few outbreaks of rain here in doha as well that's still going to be with us that system as we head through the day on sunday so still the chance of seeing

a few showers here but on monday it clears away and then off to that it looks like the temperatures will shoot up say thirty two degrees on monday but hotter as we head through cheese day and wednesday down to a southern parts of africa of course we've seen all storm kenniff but it's largely disintegrated now there's just a few rather heavy showers to be seen most of those staying off the coast there will be more showers here as we head through the next few days and again some of them could be very heavy before the southeast looking largely dry and at twenty four.

welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here this hour about his opposition says it's on the verge of reaching a deal with the military on transferring power to civilian rule both sides say the latest round of talks has been successful. so long as president has banned two groups accused of being involved in the easter sunday bombings which killed more than two hundred fifty people follows more raids and arrests across the island as police search for suspects. mozambique's governments urging people to seek higher ground just days after so i can connect back to the country forecasters are

predicting more heavy rain which could lead to flooding and mudslides. well south africa is marking twenty five years since the end of apartheid on this day and nine hundred ninety four for the first time in the country's history people of all races were allowed to vote the president says the day of freedom won't be forgotten. the great tragedy of the tate was done with great deliberation. so you can defend this is what was it and the scale of human endeavor and. war going. to it was that deep division. was. protests broke out in the same town where the freedom day celebrations were taking place which the demonstrators say they lack basic living standards and for them

a pathway never ended. but some progress has been made since nelson mandela's revolution to end white rule but not nearly enough according to critics of the ruling african national congress reports from johannesburg. marked them uneasy remembers the feeling of euphoria in one thousand nine hundred four when apartheid ended and nelson mandela became south africa's first black president she believed ending a white minority rule would mean a better life for the poor black majority after decades of oppression since then she's been waiting for the government to provide her with a decent home and she hasn't managed to find work in years. open up my cupboards and see i have nothing no food i have to go outside and house in order to eat something before going to bed so why should i take my id book and go out there to vote when i'm suffering. in soweto township we meet. he was a member of the football club founded in the one nine hundred eighty s.

by nelson mandela's wife winnie a group that was politically active during apartheid twenty five years after the end of racial segregation he says he's angry and disappointed with the african national congress led government. jobs. we are hungary is because of those guys not the. agency. for the people who protest over poverty poor public services and unemployment happen almost daily there's a general election on may eighth and the a.n.c. is facing mounting public anger over its failure to improve the lives of millions of black people we have not looked at people either no real knowledge we have while the successes. just the challenges. and all over the road to accuse us to protests but everything must be done within the law the legacy of apartheid where black people were considered inferior to whites and not given the

same opportunities is partly why africa remains one of the most equal societies in the world since one thousand nine hundred ninety four more people do have access to clean running water education and healthcare even though many say those services are poor these are some of the houses the bills by the government for the poor are provided for free others are subsidised millions i've been built since one thousand nine hundred ninety four but there are still housing shortages blamed in many on corruption and millions of south africans continue to live in abject poverty they won the right to vote twenty five years ago today the struggle is with economic freedom which many say still feels a long way off. how do. you . know less than twenty four hours people in spain will head to the polls to vote in the general election one of the main issues is the independence movement catalonia many in the region hope that sunday's results will help their cause

general reports from boston that. the letters of support arrived regularly after eighteen months in prison and on trial in a drip catalans haven't forgotten pro independence former interior minister drew hakim for him and his wife lara and their daughters know that you are kim hasn't forgotten them he doesn't like deserters us. next year we don't celebrate together and he's with us on. the trial of twelve cattle and independence leaders on charges of rebellion sedition and misuse of public funds follows the region's referendum and unilateral declaration of independence which was met by police violence in two thousand and seventeen it's taken on heavy significance for a movement struggling to reassert itself last in search of a way to achieve its goal. that i see very

clearly that people don't feel like compromising in this ends up giving up of recognizing a mistake or renouncing it i don't see that it is possible that some people may think that we need more time that it doesn't have to be an immediate thing but i don't see any kind of resignation at all if not now then what is to happen in the interim at the national level spain's socialist government may pay a heavy price in this weekend's election for its attempts to negotiate over catalonia a surge in support for the far right nationalist vox party risks dragging the entire political landscape to the right making a compromise over cattle and separatist as. gratian seem less likely than ever. to the right and radical right. everything is going to be more difficult because this practice in the right of the explicit proposal of self. again so it's not going to

be only a matter of. independence project but they're very. very core of their self government and the old don i mean that was recovered. and so perhaps inevitably there's a quiet shift towards a more pragmatic approach is this it is hard to see the republicans on the left of the main political party of the roughly fifty percent of catalonia some support independents some of its leaders as you can see are in prison addressing the crowd here by live video link the message increasingly is that unilateral action didn't work the way forward now is through dialogue and political legitimacy. that means winning as many seats as possible in the national parliament and influencing change from within the dream of independence isn't getting any closer but it does remain very much alive. barcelona. people in between we also had the polls on sunday

but they won't have any opposition politicians on the ballot election commission says groups opposed to the government were unable to meet new requirements reports from. the campaigning for these elections has been everything but business as usual there are two parties able to field candidates for eighty three national assembly positions and they're both pro-government. according to the electoral commission none of the opposition parties met the requirements of a new electoral code and charter of political parties one view from the eligible republican party is that the opposition party simply couldn't get organized in time to meet the requirements. it's also about taxes most of the national assembly members who cannot take part in this election have been in government over the last ten years and have properties and business interests and companies and now they can't meet their tax bills so they're not eligible for us in the republican party we are not only proud to be taking part in this election we are also doing our best

to defend the constitution. that's not the view from the other side opposition politicians believe the eligibility ruling is a deliberate move to fill the national assembly with candidates that will comply with the president's agenda to force to do so. it's a legislative coup and for us in opposition it is not acceptable we cannot endorse what's happening whichever way you look this is an unprecedented situation so much so the response of religious leaders traditional regional chiefs the west african bloc. and non-governmental organizations and also the president to intervene however the president says the polls on sunday should go ahead the assembly failed to reach an agreement on a constitutional way forward following the announcement in march that the opposition parties were ineligible according to a prominence in. society activist what's happening takes the country back decades.

it's unfortunate it's sad and it's a step back for a democratic tradition and been in and it's contrary to article three of our constitution since multi-party democracy the people of britain have had the right to vote with legitimate option and this is a part of their sovereignty and now millions of been any use will be denied that right. as the country prepares to vote many are wondering what will happen next as they find themselves in unfamiliar territory i'm a blessing al-jazeera. venezuela has said it will officially withdraw from the organization of american states on saturday the oas recognizes the head of the opposition as venezuela's right for leader earlier this year he asked the group to ignore the requests to exit supporters are holding more protests and calling for nicolas maduro to stand down. many people have been forced on their homes because of the war against boko haram a quarter of

and we fled from nigeria to find security and safety so far we haven't felt safe the war against boko haram has for so many people from their land that food is scarce and millions need help to avert famine the young grow up quickly here every . day they wait for pace seems endless. al-jazeera. player and battlegrounds has become the most famous video game on the internet pop genie as it's known is based on a theme of survival of the fittest that is attracting many young libyans who are comparing it to life in their country one of the wire reports now from tripoli. in cafes streets workplaces and even cars here in the libyan capital you can usually find a pub game or like many other young libyans but he agrees to spend several hours a day playing the game for him it's interesting and an escape.

that the votes have nothing to do and i feel bored pub gee feels the vacuum i like it because it's full of excitement and competition it introduces me to people from different backgrounds and nationalities. but as a game is based on winning eliminating opponents some are comparing it to life in their own areas and my is american his players even play under the names of libyan militia. some pliers name themselves in the game after a prominent lead. as of armed groups so that they can intimidate the ever series just because those leaders are well known for their power in society for some pub he has become an addiction and there are fears gamers might take their online frustration in the real world dr karim the game can have a powerful effect on players say college. the state does not encourage young

a transitional body early this month after forcing the former president omar bashir to step down mom of the doe has the latest from khartoum. was. they are. all filing an agreement with the transitional military because all of these might walk up the way that. we are here at the fire where people have been. says. that the ports of begun they've been safe pick out what they call their own to. which is. the brilliant. president has banned two groups accused of being involved in the easter sunday bombings which killed more than two hundred fifty people it follows more raids across the island and friday night police say suspects opened fire and set off bombs during a search leaving fifteen people dead has more from columbus. police conducted raids in a mostly muslim neighborhood and made several arrests including the deputy mayor and

it's twenty five years since the end of apartheid in south africa the end of segregation of whites the north the rule so how different is the country a quarter of a century on how much is the racial divide still an issue in the rainbow nation this is inside story. hello welcome to the program i'm adrian finnegan it was in one thousand nine

hundred ninety four that forty six years of apartheid came to an end and south africans voted for a new future with a new president nelson mandela during his five years in power he boosted spending on health and education trying to bridge the huge gap between black and white communities but today is african national congress party is accused of not doing enough and south africans head to the polls next month in a general election so one of the issues for voters now al-jazeera is how to tussle reports from johannesburg. mock them uneasy demand is the feeling of euphoria in one thousand nine hundred four when apartheid ended and nelson mandela became south africa's first black president she believed ending a white minority rule would mean a better life for the poor black majority ata decades of oppression since then she's been waiting for the government to provide her with a decent home and she hasn't managed to find work in years. and open up

my cupboards and see i have nothing no food i have to go outside and house in order to eat something to focus on to beit so why should i take my id book and go out there to vote when i'm suffering. in soweto township we meet steve. he was a member of the football club founded in the one nine hundred eighty s. by nelson mandela's wife winnie a group that was politically active during apartheid twenty five years after the end of racial segregation he says he's angry and disappointed with the african national congress led government. jobs. we are hungary is because of those guys not the. only. thing for the people to protest over poverty poor public services and unemployment happen almost daily these are general election on may eighth and the a.n.c. is facing mounting public anger over its failure to improve the lives of millions of black people we have not looked at people either no real knowledge we have while

the success is not just of challenges. and all over the road to accuse us. but everything must be done within the law the legacy of apartheid where black people were considered inferior to whites and not given the same opportunities is partly why africa remains one of the most equal societies in the world since one thousand nine hundred ninety four more people do have access to clean running water education and healthcare even though many say those services are poor these are some of the houses are built by the government for the poor are provided for free others are subsidised millions i've been built since one thousand nine hundred ninety four but there are still housing shortages blamed many on corruption and millions of south africans continue to live in abject poverty they won the right to vote twenty five years ago today the struggle is with economic freedom which many say still feels

a long way off. al-jazeera. the president says the day apartheid ended is one that won't be forgotten. project. i was raised with great deliberation. begins differently. was it. this human. war that. was division. well before we bring in today's guests let's take a quick look at how we got here apartheid began in south africa in one nine hundred forty eight when the white minority national party took power and introduced a system of segregation and discrimination against black south africans in one nine hundred sixty in the township of shop till police opened fire on protesters who

were demonstrating against a law that required black people to carry identification passes sixty nine people were killed sparking riots across the country four years later the leader of the a.n.c. nelson mandela was given a life sentence and spent twenty seven years in jail before being freed in one nine hundred ninety in one thousand nine hundred four mandela was elected president of the party hate was ended the president then set up the truth and reconciliation commission chaired by archbishop desmond tutu which began holding hearings on human rights crimes. so let's bring in our guests for today joining me from johannesburg is i should be a human rights activist with a special focus on african governments and development from london joseph chain a commentator on south african affairs and former columnist at new africa magazine and from cape town via skype. who's a researcher at the institute for global dialogue

a south african think tank welcome to you all let's start with you ayesha have notes and mandela's dreams of a rainbow nation where everyone is equal where people are able to access their basic human economic concern rights and those dreams been realized over the last twenty five years. not at all. there has been some movement in terms of the enrichment of a small number of black middle class and. elites in the economy but really you find that this is still a very very divided society socially culturally politically and economically and that dream of a rainbow nation has largely become a nightmare of a ghetto wise society where the poor are becoming poorer and the rich are becoming richer essentially where broad and deep levels of corruption have become endemic

both within the public sector and the private sector and you have a population that has become very very disenchanted with its government and with the promises of a better life that were made twenty five years ago joseph do you agree with that to what extent are race based inequality racism and racial resentment still rife in south africa i think it's total the only thing is the. president of all there was saying earlier that the tragedy of opportunity is the rush of discrimination but are actually for me you know now on the twenty five years later it is actually . economic injustice which is not the center bomb large i think. progress has been made a huge amount of it and twenty five years on all of us must celebrate that father figure is free and democratic but also celebrate the fact that perhaps the guys who are actually making the decisions of the end of it are people who are mandated by

the vast majority of south africans without bomb lives let or hindrance but that having been said i think there's a huge amount of lost opportunities one when mandela was still alive and then to the early part of the liberation struggles where other already suggested we did not really radically sufficiently inject the resources in the direction that with this the south africa necessarily needed i think they probably needed to have big relief from tony blair not particularly popular these days when they came to power nine hundred ninety seven in in the u.k. the proposed and indeed implemented it when full tax i suggested some of these things to my friends in south africa probably ten or so years ago and many of them probably thought it was something rather too radical the idea was that actually to have to shift the privilege the privilege is in the economic relations of africa which is in the hands still a lot of eighty percent eighty percent privileged eighty percent of the economy in

the hands of very few wise and even much fewer blacks into the hands of the vast majority of those other control the white and black but particularly black and that language that i don't particularly like colored. solution why do you have just saying that progress has been made we should celebrate that but there have been lost opportunities do you agree with that how much responsibility for south africa's current situation does the a.n.c. have to bear i think part of what joseph is saying is accurate there were lost opportunities but i think we've also got to bear in mind that it wasn't a go she added settlement and it is in those negotiations there were compromises that were made with the arc of being a party group beam around certain. kind of issues particularly the sunset clause which essentially guaranteed some kind of protection of the civil service under the be a parted regime guaranteeing such exists except now here's where the structural

issues come in because what when you allow those kinds of compromises to take place in the been negotiated settlement you've got to be able to understand what the structural implications are for you or your policy implementation the kind of inequality that you've been heritage both structurally as well as in terms of the inequality that pointed out into the what currently underpinning the south african landscape and one potently with whether or not you feel so twenty five years later i think we can we can we have certain elements of this democratic process that we need to recognise and commence particularly the constitution but there are other different difficulties that have set in particularly in terms of the unemployment problem and break all the way the spatial inequality of our cities has not been. addressed in a in a pragmatic way or for that matter the fact of the issues around leadership you

asked you know is this the south africa that a mandela would have left behind i think one of the challenges we have in this country is assuming that everybody coming after mandela. behave like mandela and so we have a constitution that tends to not necessarily provide fail safe mechanisms checks and balances accountability in terms of holding the president and what some of the the government in power the leadership that emerges all. in terms of their accountability and transparency and culpability in but we are now seeing in terms of the capture corruption except for and the frustrations mr being amongst a generation on the board freeze the and so forth all right i mean frustrated i said i see you smiling that why does the inequality between rich and poor black and whites in south africa continue is it down to to the constitution. no i think i

think solutions right in that we do have a very good constitution unfortunately quite often the constitution and the supporting legislation are actually not upheld in practice that's one issue i also disagree with the new. you know whereas yes we had a negotiated settlement and sunset clauses etc twenty five years on the bureaucracy is fairly well transformed throughout government across all levels at national provincial and local government levels you find that there's you know there's a level of transformation that has occurred in the public service i don't think that's been a structural issue at least for the last ten years what have been issues i think are three major ones firstly there's been in sufficient economic transformation what people here young people here tend to call radical economic transformation so what we're left with is a very very small layer of

a black elite pretty much no black middle class and then many black black people especially in rural areas in perry urban areas still living at a level of poverty or just above the poverty line. added to that you know unemployment for the fact is decreasing health and education standards etc all play a role but that's the one though the economic transformation the second thing is the endemic corruption as as i mentioned. and the third is the lack of transfer of the land back into people's hands ok we'll come to those issues in more detail shortly solution just briefly before we go back to just if you want to reply to that. yeah i think the challenge is that the sunset clause was created and you had to i mean there was this compromise what i was trying to imply and what perhaps i missed it my comment was that there wasn't policy that led created

a cut and of address for the vacuum that that that this lead in terms of skills transfer in terms of yes we may have a transformed bureaucracy at all three levels of government we also have a bloated bureaucracy that has created a severe pressure on the wage bill in terms of g.d.p. we have a public sector that's essentially the point six million we have a structural condition we have all been ization rapid we have people in the age group between fifteen and thirty four that have a forty percent that employment this is all kind of the structures in which our education system is not meeting up to the standard the skills deficit is happening and we try to create growth at five percent which will take about twenty five years to address some of these structural challenges so what has happened is the impact of some of these policy decisions that have been taking place has been around trying to address some of the challenges in terms of transformation but not necessarily addressing transformation as if one in four south africans is

unemployed an estimated two hundred thousand people are homeless universal access to health care and electricity is still not guaranteed in your opinion what's going wrong. yes many things actually did go wrong and i would also suggest that it would be extremely unfair for the for us to to to to suggest that the rather. if you are consensus best course to titian is that is the cause of the problem is absolutely not if anything actually the fact actually that this guy has had it it negotiated settlement is probably the more reason for the block majority leaders of the time to have actually blackmail if you like in a sensible way you know the guys who are going to hold power the problem is actually not even the size of government. miss him to be suggested is actually the structural element of the economy like i said before eighty percent of the south african wealth in this arc of steel is in the hands of

a substantial minority land has not learned from has not been met in fact unlike zimbabwe where a wonderful was part of the constitution of settlement as i understand it it is not necessary and was not necessarily the case in south africa that is one of the reasons why you know i think the answer is sort of nearly to the vast majority of south africa and for granted before the various reasons the some of which have already been isn't it in the light of economy freedom body can mean so right now they're riding on it but the bottom line is still leadership is required in south africa or beyond the political leadership of the african national congress to create destruction in which the vast majority of south africans actually see a gender vast to a political operative and degenerative aster economy garbage i just want to just forward just to pick up on what you were saying that to what extent are those growing up in south africa today those born after the end of apartheid still being affected by the apartheid systems policies and as you point out that white people

still have the largest proportion of wealth and yet form the smallest proportion of the population. oh i think it's going to continue for a very long time and my two colleagues will agree just walk into your home is big and it will not is the mindset of the people their manner of trauma which is actually good not necessarily talked about it is huge i think minutes of africans in the ordinary terms still will perhaps believe that it is business as usual and so came to see whatever they actually see you know i think it was incumbent upon the leadership including with mr mandela himself when they came into power to recognize this other they were taking over from it is interesting that the africans who actually fought with this of africans from a distance know look and see some of these issues there's no reason why the guys in charge in south africa could and should not see and i'm not saying they're not nestle seeing but see it enough for them to simply say that well they needed to

make sure that they enable and not really transform south africa politically but life which has been and in from the constitution is a strength rather than a weakness for that matter but economy the issue is i think the nearest person to attempt you know boldly to have some of those conversations with somebody probably a slightly different topic and as you know towards the end of his time he was not particularly a very very popular isolation we talked about the negotiations that the concessions that led to the end of the past eight regime. to work said there was the failure of the state to completely implement the truth and reconciliation commission's recommendations further south africa's increasing inequality and led to where we are now. i think that the failure to implement the recommendations of the t r c is very very serious indeed because it is what has led

to the frustrations of many people in south africa today particularly young people because the mindset of those who were privileged under apartheid has in many instances not shifted at all and part of the reason for that is that there wasn't sufficient follow up from the t r c for example where in you know they were they were as amnesty for disclosure but in many instances full disclosure was not made in many instances people weren't actually brought to book so people haven't seen justice to have been done and that is why there is still a very very huge and deep level of resentment among south africans because they feel that those who really benefited from apartheid have not actually. paid any price whatsoever and are unwilling to even compromise for example on standards of living so that what you have today you asked about those people born frees we

call them here are people born after one thousand nine hundred four those people still have. an equal access to educational opportunities and equal access to justice and equal access to health care etc and that is. hardening and solidifying a very deep vein of resentment and frustration among young people we've seen this come up in things like the fees must for protest i was as you know working at wits university at the time and i've seen that the grievances that young people were bringing to the fore were actually legitimate grievances that you know that young people really don't know how to handle. themselves in this urban environment that is so very equal not just economically but also social culturally so joseph has transitional justice as

a concept. the success in south africa i would suggest not and actually it's very very sadly. the case that it hasn't really been and as has just been said it would appear that is something that is going to simply say that lead let's have a change without the gun and let guys basically go ahead and get over that is actually extremely unfair and unfortunate do you know want twenty five years on i really don't want to know how many born frees or south africa actually nor their own history and i'm talking about contemporary history how many of them know what and what of the rest of africa actually contributed in part partly surprisingly now many of these guys are blaming africans migrating into south africa when the reality of the battle they face is actually right in south africa inside south africa which is a big challenge and on that i actually think there has been insufficient leadership from the guys who were leading the n.c. most of whom were people who would know very well they either leave abroad and

supported abroad or actually they knew that they were leading this process that it was a global thing and the global support for the liberation struggle south africa was across the race so really the bottom while it privileged white in south africa remain if you like to the vast majority of the inequalities and injustices is that really grabbed my from the economy call and structural than necessarily racial or a solution. since the a.n.c. irredeemably corrupt would south africa twenty five years after the end of apartheid be betteroff now in the hands of the democratic alliance with the economic freedom fighters is it time to give someone else ago i think the challenge here is what joseph as we've been arguing and what. has been alluding to and that is the question of dealing with leadership and of course the question within the political part of the of the end see is the factional politics that seems to undo underpin the politics of the party and tends to split the well into the politics of

the state and that in itself is something that needs to be looked at in terms of our electoral system in terms of how we vote and we in the in the in the last two weeks of an election process where we're going to be going to the polls on. may and that in itself is going to be an important test of but the political party to see how much it winds and also of the opposition and pulled out a suggested that at the d a the democratic and has been through its own telescope and the internal part to politics you know in the west think it's been dealing with the. beleaguered former mayor. it has not necessarily had success in the nelson mandela the debate with its coalition partner the effect the one political party that if there seems to be doing well in terms of its previous performance but the question then is other other political parties talking to this this boat and free generation and i think that's the challenge because you as

a born free generation that doesn't necessarily have the political loyalty to the sea or ever but they are the one that has to understand the context of the political structure and the parties struggle and as joseph rightly pointed out the country is made but the african country is in and they struggle so there's a sort of you should. well i know that i should just if you want to come back all on that but we're out of time i'm afraid thank you all of you for being with us for today's inside story. joseph or chino and solution i do thank you for watching don't forget you can see the program again any time just by going to the website at al jazeera dot com for further discussion join us at our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story and you can join the conversation on twitter handle at a.j. inside story from adrian figure the whole team here though thanks for being with us i'll see you again i put out.
