as you rightly said this is the most contested election in south africa's history post a party that is they see has enjoyed big majority wins when it comes to the polls but in the last two elections supports has been sliding what the new leadership of the african national congress is looking to do by sort of them of course is to reverse those losses at the polls you now have another play on the scene that is the economic freedom fight is taking away young people from this party young people were frustrated that the african national congress has not done enough to change their lives twenty five years into this democracy but as you say support has been dropping for the party and cyril ramaphosa trying to restore some of the image of the a.n.c. how successful has he been so far. ahead that's what this election is really going to tell us the result that day and see

gets is that it be telling how much the i'm a post that you fit for is it's been death here in south africa is going to translate into getting those despondent apathetic vote is back to the polls a lot of people at wolves away from the. people who can't necessarily vote for another party but have decided that they wouldn't be floating at all come up with this message today and see suppose as has been that the party has reformed its rebranded that they've looked at the pasta and they've seen the mistakes that they've made to make it to the with the people corruption that is taking place in this country he is saying to south africans that with these presidency things are going to change he spoke today about job creation he spoke today about not placing another generation of south africans be destined for poverty the stakes are high and a lot is hidden under them up close this image often the man who is not corrupt to come in and change the face of this posse rebecca part of the reason why jacob zuma could not finish a term that was meant to finish now is because they see needed to change face by the time to see election come so that i'm up or so has been in office for just over

a year and the message to south africans has been i'm going to bring back investments because people trust me and that is going to translate into job creation especially for young people critical we're talking about a country with unemployment north of twenty five percent the bulk of that all young people in this country corruption has seen investment flow out of here and so a lot is at stake for the african national congress has to prove that it is still relevant for south africa twenty five years post a possibility so job creation and the economy you know would you say that's the most pressing issue that is that when voters want the next government to address. that that is essential to prevent that you've got a lot of south africans living in poverty we talk about poverty less than a dollar a day a lot of south africans living fall below that young people are unemployed and in fact the electoral commission talked about the fact that. people want to fight to vote doing so young people and a lot of them say up and speaking to some of them that they don't feel that the

politicians have done anything for them and will be doing so any time so jobs i mean this is one of the most and equal societies in the world report he said jeannie low emissions so you're talking about a country that is plagued with poverty. that has been one of the ticking time bombs that have been warned by full cost as all over the world the likes of the i am in the old bag the unemployment rate to is far too high and our young people not doing anything and so that is a key thing rebecca addressing the issue of jobs bringing back in basements into this economy. christine and john expect thanks very much for that update. and coming up next on news that bundesliga show with nick mechanic line could lowly hand of a spring a surprise that late is by munich or was there another twist in the title race stay chance to find out. you know watching data with the news live from berlin i'll be back with more on day to be news at the top of the hour i'm rebecca resist invalid thanks for joining us.
