for german culture looking at the stereotype but interesting to see from countries that i know long term. you don't seem ridiculous grandmama there you go it's all about their. primary job join me to meet the germans on the w. post. this is deja news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes the world has made great progress when it comes to medically managing a child the aids but in africa the stigma associated with the virus is still very strong we'll be talking to a prominent activist. then the fall hot start of all he turns one hundred years old to a modern classic in nigeria. i'm

christi paul come to news africa i'm glad you're tuned in we're putting this stigma on hiv aids in focus today because just a few days ago a south african m.p. made his status public it was ofter an ex patna threaten to expose her on facebook name more tyros deal will do so someone is threatening to reveal my status to you all but let me save him the hassle of doing it i have nothing to hide but also some things are not necessary to share with people it doesn't affect but since i've been threatened let me do it because i don't take kindly to threats i'm hiv positive and have been now for h. is possibly mall and she went on to say perhaps these threats are a good thing it has made me add my voice to the dea stigmatize ation that is still embedded in our society. so just how bad is

hiv aids related stigma in our communities we took all cameras and people told us some of the reasons why they wouldn't want their hiv status to be public knowledge . because of the stigma to see my theories on all of the. leak i would never let people know that i my street corners are still out on my bike and increased my status my private life but i'm going to keep it's my safe bank account there are people. there is in being the bad pizza guy they may be different and use that isolates immune from they are few of our it is something that people should keep in their personal life and told those in their personal lives not something that's for the public to know exactly. i keep it to myself i am . danceable house because its look it grows in some people would say ok you don't trust no she has

a child we. don't go near her don't date her because she has a smile was as if you have a virus it's like the second of the world to talk more about this we've invited edwin cameron he's a judge on south africa's constitutional court justice cameron has spent many is spearheading hiv aids campaigns and activism while comes to. justice cameron it's been twenty since you went public about hiv positive are you disappointed that in two thousand and nineteen people in africa also ostracized and discriminated against for being a positive. i think i wouldn't say disappointed because that sounds as though they don't but it's it to rahul calamity for our country and for our continent meant that this disease didn't cilla tended bar so much discrimination so much stigma and also so much internalized shame twenty years off

to medication become available a good fourteen years off to government started providing treatment so it's a great impediment continuing to our management of the epidemic. just as common people as you've alluded to in terms of the grounds that the world has made in terms of the medication people with hiv today can lead very normal and healthy lives and i just want to get your take on why do you think that it's taking so long to sort of steve bank or the the the sort of stigma that's associated with having a heavy. i think it's a deeply personal thing the shame of. sexual transmission i think it's that it's difficult to explain no other disease is attended by quite this amount of shame and internalize internal shown so it's hard to say and that's hard to do and also one must remember it took nearly fifty years in north america to get the cigarette

smoke down from forty percent to eighty percent so dealing with public attitudes to do season two years is always a very complicated. jess's cameron one status is their private business you know and i think you know when we talk about you know would you be public about hiv status as as we're listening to people moments before we did this interview and it's somebody is private business but we're talking about how we thais hiv aids and it seems like that's the only way to do that when public figures like yourself come out and say i'm living with this and i'm leaving a very normal life but then that's asking people to to make public what should be personal what they should be allowed to keep is the only way that we can get to to stake hiv. it would be a wonderful way and you're right about it being on answer good for virals for for nearly twenty two years and i've got almost the same expectation of life as

a sixty five year old man in good health like me would have without a child b. but i still am one of the very few perhaps the only public figure in the whole of africa who has spoken about the so it's very difficult i don't say that i ask other people to do it i don't encourage other people to do it only say that if they could do it if they could come the difficulty the fear of discrimination of the shy and it would be enormously helpful it would mean a huge amount of soccer stars and entertainment stalls and leading public figures speaking freely and easily about the urn dealing with this disease all right just a scam way thank you for all the way all the activism if put in that is south african. edwin cameron speaking to us they thank you. a mix story is about bauhaus

a style of originated in germany one hundred years ago it's characterized by the form follows function buildings defied by clear lines and an absence off supposed ornamentation it was the revolutionary at the time and has influenced all he takes across the wool one major example is found in nigeria the university off if initiated by paul scofield to a reassure on. the ferry in southwestern nigeria already sharon's campus for the university of utah is open area and well suited to the tropical climate and that makes a statement for the bauhaus opened in one nine hundred sixty two just two years after nigeria gained independence to the university became a symbol for the fledgling democracy back then modernism was progressive and today to the ideas about how stood for have a future can they still provide answers to the question how do we want to live for

instance in lagos nigeria's largest city which changes by the minute. those you know she know is an architect and a child of modernism she studied and lived in london if it remains an inspiration for her. when we had monism come in in the years of any post-colonialism the architects that came of the day. and not the architecture that has really formed the structure of the city of on the early modernism of the forty's fifty's and sixty's still thinking about the texture . tosin otieno has returned to her homeland today she lives and works in lagos she loves the city's wild and creative side. lego's just grows and grows today it's africa's second largest. city and one of the world's most populous somewhere between colonialism and modernism nigerian

architects are creating their own design language one that seeks to meet the challenges of everyday life. increasingly their focus is on the mega-cities what was considered as african tenets of being within the ruling does not necessarily mean need to be realistic and appropriately for the city that we live in we have to face the fact that in the city of some people see some people say twenty two we need to live in a smaller and smaller spaces. like a molecular and new ultra modern and market district phase one of this project is already complete to see if you know what is constructing minimalist housing units similar to ones built around the globe architecture must adapt to changing lifestyles we need to be forward thinking we always need to reflect on. on how living in a city is evolving and changing i mean the whole world has changed in particular

moving in smaller and smaller spaces being more practical the demographic is changing how people live the family units is being redefined you know and we need to make sure that we produce an architecture that suite flex that. functional economic and space saving so this is the start of a two bedroom apartment so it's open plan kitchen it's really about i think efficient living. apartments like this one are still a rarity in lagos for millennia aren't home much. everything has a purpose. there's no ornamentation this property we have use plain on lines i'm color to read the form and i think it's been quite successful but. it's a stark contrast to other aspirational districts popping up with their pompous colonial style structures ornate pillars and decor otieno. considers them a passing fad. caution is always period based there's no guarantee that this

building in another ten years will be and i saw him because it's got too many of its buildings need to be timeless even the bow household it's been a beautiful building it's timeless buildings can't afford to be fashionable. arias sharon's university of new face is timeless this architectural milestone is a building with character africa is also part of the house imagine the stuff and international exhibition project that celebrates the bauhaus school its legacy and its capacity for promoting trans cultural exchange. tosi no she's no well is one of a new generation of nigerian architects meeting here looking for answers to pressing questions and discovering how the bauhaus remains relevant today. what's made by a host so vital to this day and keeps it up way is that it follows very basic ideas so it poses questions like how do we want to live in the future.
