industry if only more women have mobile phones. also on the show it's twenty nineteen so while women still vastly under a percentage in company boardrooms worldwide one of the very few female c.e.o.'s in the car industry tells us why and what to do about. this. it's business africa. as in berlin welcome. zimbabwe is about to scrap rules that prevent the control of local platinum mines by foreign mining companies the government said to the plans were part of its new campaign zimbabwe is open for business the country is the second largest platinum reserves in the world currently foreign companies may hold no more than a forty nine percent share diamond and platinum mine operations under the black empowerment law introduced under robert mugabe's rule. africa's largest ach area ethiopian airlines operated

varies from region to region sub-saharan africa has one of the widest gaps with around fifteen percent less women owning a mobile phone means they are also less likely to have access to the internet which is an important economic fact that markets across the world could generate an extra one hundred forty billion euros in revenue over the next five years alone if every woman were to own. botho on now let's cross over to nairobi and bring in joinery in a barrel joy why do countries in sub-saharan africa have the lowest levels of female ownership mobile ownership and mobile internet use is just a politician not sure really any. issues but the other issues well poverty or of what ability is one of them in terms of cost those that are in that you know predominantly african setting the financial head who happens to be the man and so sometimes the women do not find it relevant but they don't

even own a device but there's also the issue of you know safety and security where some of them are trying to avoid a situation where the. technology is violence against women but then there's also now the issue of literacy in skills where in a rural setting most of the women cannot read and write and considering these devices are limited to space of a drone says they're not able to you know use these devices that confidently but then there's also the issue of network coverage where a lot of them are cut out of the different never promoted is. what would increase internet access for women be helpful for the common economies and those mentions. well just like those barriers of mentioned if they have internet penetration our internet says then opens them up to globalization and therefore they are able to

have opportunities that they've not had before and also we cannot leave out the fact that we have internet penetration also the able to get more literate let literacy in in terms of digital literacy skills and more education as well and also it also creates economic empowerment for different reasons either by easing the rest of the community in terms of the same digital literacy skills but i think these cannot happen if they do not have other extended or second research reasons like energy or electricity saw in monster or settings it's very difficult if they are of greed for them to even have access to these mobile devices to ordering in a narrowing for us thank you very much. now the broken stereo system in your car well if you live in nairobi see a human will fix it for you in no time for thirty years the grandmother has been

repairing car sound systems despite which. she has no plans to retire. this is the music is her passion and that's why shaw's has been repairing sound systems for three decades and she'll continue to do it for as long as she can hold the screwdriver stuff. happens again when they hear i'm an old lady some come to see for themselves actually some come not for the system assimilation but to see whether it's true or not. there's always something going on at her shop. everyone comes to see shaw she was not intimidated by the latest technology which she also selves. whatever production will choose she will advise you on what is best for you. then she takes him to ditto start to be the least future whether it's u.s.b.

was his bluetooth whether the middling or whatever you were hearing. is the one who set up bluetooth for me and told me i am ok and i won't be stopped by the police now for talking on the phone while driving so i'm happy. has already had many other jobs but none of them made her as happy as this one she learned how to repair sound systems from books and her grandson. if you don't you know what i can encourage young people is to stop saying there are no jobs let them our cart even if it's to shining roasting corn are selling newspapers they should not depend on education because many of our children are educated but there are no white collar jobs that also repairs the odio equipment at a nairobi radio station where she deejays every now and then. for.

sure wish all of us she is she's very perfect knowledgeable but above all she's passionate about tojo choice there's the worst thing would be to move back to her village and have to depend on her children for support. or an inspiration now women are still under represented in global boardrooms situation that has changed very little in the last thirty years that's according to a new report by the united nations international labor organization published for today's international women's day the ilo figures show that worldwide women only in a quarter of top management positions women who are usually younger and better educated than their male colleagues improvement is unlikely without a strict legislation against workplace discrimination or more equality yallow. just. and we stay on the subject linda jackson is one of the few women who actually

made it to the very top in the male dominated car industry my colleagues. with the c.e.o. of situ at the geneva motor show to learn a thing or two about female leadership qualities this jackson you're one of the few women c.e.o.'s in the automotive industry now i was reading an anecdote about you where you related that very often you would go to a meeting and of the delegates would not would want to wait for the boss before starting the meeting all need for you to have to tell them that you are the boss is not something that still happens to you it doesn't happen anymore i have to say but it did happen happened very sort of early on in my career but now it doesn't happen anymore i think people probably know me but it didn't bother me because at the end of the day when she say you're the boss and then you're very credible you can make you make your impression so but yes it did happen but not anymore. now would you say there are certain advantages to being a woman executive in a very male dominated industry but i suppose the obvious advantage is that because

there aren't very many of you people remember you so if you make a good impression that all goes well because if you make a mistake that starts not sickish but i think it's i think you could say it's a positive one in that there are many women but personally i would actually prefer that the world more women because you know this business is you know fifty percent of my customers are women and there was a survey done oh about couple of years back which said that behind the decision to buy a car eighty percent of those decisions was made by women so they chose the interior cetera et cetera so it's very important that we get more women into the industry and i you know i want to try and encourage more people you know even within my t. . you know my communications director is a female the lady that decides the design of it decides what the material and the colors are of my vehicles inside is a woman so why can't we have more women making a point about what we should have with our cars. you want to make female cars but we want to make cars for everybody and i think women have a really important part to play. and how do we get women to playing more of those

parts do you believe in quotas for management say well i don't really believe in quotas i believe in encouraging more women and i do my utmost to talk at summits and encourage people in telling about my experience but the problem with quotes is is that if you are that you must many people it's so to senior level if you're a woman if you want to be recognized that you got to that level because of your ability to do the job and if somebody said oh linda you got to that role because we want you to fill a quota that sort of denigrates a little bit my my standard so this is why i'm against coaches but obviously i'm really really encouraging more women to be in the in the industry and to be able to have more women and to make it more obvious i think this big perception is that the automotive industry is just about engineers and of course that's very important part but there's a whole other range now because you know when you build an automotive brand it's not just about the protests it's about the whole experience of the customers and why shouldn't women have a part to play in the. two days after his release from jail in tokyo the

mystery of collars goans and strange attire has been solved the top lawyer for the former chairman of nisson said one of goans other lawyers had suggested to disguise the outfit which included a blue cap and a surgical mask as a failed attempt to have him leave prison after three months on noticed and also through some international media off who had their cameras on the wrong person that includes our program deidre goannas facing a number of criminal charges from his time at the house of missing. for me of the team here business africa much more online on the dot com slash business thanks for watching.
