young politician who's quick change going to take on. welcome to the program. african national congress faces a nail biting wait for the official results of wednesday's general elections the final results are not expected before the weekend but it's clear the psychologically important sixty percent plus of the vote in the out of reach for the party which has led since the end of apartheid will go to look at the they got questions imagine as a result become a fest this report. life in south africa is back to the daily routines after. the election. free and fair now it's an agonizing why. wait

whilst votes are being counted and percentages at the independent electoral commission results sent to a changing by the minute. presidents around the process just after casting his vote here still confident about voters supporting the eighteen c. . they can see that with their vote they are had are doing a new deal and you're beginning to bring you the period of three new police force a period of hope. for many that's what i'm opposed to stands for how he replaced former president jacob zuma who was forced out last year of a corruption scandals. corruption got into the way the true nature got into their way of not focusing on the needs of our people got into their way. as the country struggles with corruption crime poverty economic stagnation and an official unemployment rate at twenty seven percent people's wishes

a down to the essentials hopes would be a drop you know for the people that are employed. i hope to get something up to the next. stage through the doors of jobs those kind of things so i'm hoping that they don't know that it is jobs stop corruption which is the main cause and if not then a victory for the a.n.c. is assured but if the party wants to halt the slide in support these are the concerns they quickly have to deliver on. from on this i'm joined by a professor kalibo ha he's chair of the department of political sciences at the university of south africa in for terry professor thank you very much for your time now as the results come in it's clear that a.n.c. has lost even more support maybe not just much but how long can they rely on old loyalties as the national liberation movement. that month of the

whole of the liberation movement the month by that we have liberated you is the african national congress we have been in previous elections for instance and between the four and elections and even beyond the time when the fall of president jacob zuma to. two thousand and nine in my view is that at the out they don't because they have their current generation. born for these these are the ones who are on during the time of my nelson mandela's presidency just alsa ninety ninety four many of them in the twenty's twenty five years old it's. associated with this liberation month. but i think that because the had you don't have any look or nation or the cost of living during apartheid so it goes out the ones that you would definitely need with this liberation month and many of us

including them says that we conduct suggests that you know that. metaphor or that montreal is quite outdated because if you look in the region not only in zimbabwe zambia and other countries they. are always does money make nowadays ok the a.n.c. run the company in seeing that there's. corruption how else could they have. to gain support for the party. what are we doing to use what we call them out for you meaning that. the happiness around them up was up because as you hit it in your. lips he was talking about that he knew. that he has been talking about since november twenty eighth during the african national congress conference here in johannesburg where he announced this new dog so

apparently i associate you with a you know every invention of the agency and that is the message that you have yet if used to move away from their own would tie at nine years off last year is the quality in some of the god of jacob zuma in the sense that if you want to miss that he's the one that they have used to say we have a new president is going to fight corruption he's going to deal with the legacy of the past trust you give us on the edges of this now according to the early results the democrats. have not really taken advantage of the fallen support for the a.n.c. why is that you think. on the one hand the democratic alliance carries the baggage it is increasingly being. built into a multi-racial sense out of this liberal party however it does and it doesn't that's one thing it is significant support all five it's mostly black youth and the middle class however it cannot shake off this degree of being

a party that you know most of us today which is of white people or the one that's more white minority in south africa and therefore there is mistrust among most of. us about it you know whether this party east. or whether it is just in white in disguise come into that you have. to does my name it nobody has this fire authority which he said i had to meet in tents for some of the of course the end of one just trust because they believe that they you know they need such and they just you know campaigning and so on but some of these misuses been just to meet intended to run to go to some of the you know reformist day you know sites of the society and so to that extent that's why they have not managed to catch into a lot of the agency ok professor. shell the departments of political sciences university of south africa pretoria thank you very much thank you. now

across africa young women rising through the ranks in politics and business. young people ministers and. many celebrated ten point government ministers held by women but it's another story for village councils where young people and especially women. represented we met with a young. in the way for change in the country. twenty six. youngest two hundred pounds live in some visiting a village the young politician received from a clique she currently re presents fifteen thousand people she's part of a minority at the moment she's hopeful that other young women will follow in footsteps. so that. as women. to. be able to.

present. you know some of the people that want to yeah first arrived here three years ago to gain practical experience as a social worker the course impressed with how she engaged with the women and children so they asked her to run in the console election but the old west talks against heart from the beginning the other male candidate harvest and even physically threatened her because leadership roles often passed down within the same family some felt that was stealing something that was rightfully theirs and. people from the other party going with their megaphone don't vote for this person or don't vote for this foreign girl you don't even know if she's coming for all she's just a small little gal and she just does it to you as a councillor should not do anything and it was terrible and they would come right.

through the roof and. but i said i'm going to win i am going to win because the women really have supported me in this is what why i'm saying that women really vote and they support because they want things to change their own biased world to ma go by is situated in the rural ask it's of the capitalists during her time as a councillor i was able to channel extra funds into my golda to kickstart new infrastructure projects she also helped seven hundred schoolchildren get study loans and is firmly against child marriage unsurprisingly she is now pretty popular among how questi to its ground that we know in our country that i can use to have good and awesome though she helps as a lot of question news as well and she has an open yeah there are problems in your

life like i'm a mock up tonight jennifer and in my room we are happy with how we work with the community she is a good young lady and want to have to continue helping even old people like myself . with just nine percent zambia is one of the worst countries when it comes to female representation in politics and it's even harder for young people although half of the population is under thirty five only for parliamentarians three percent this group stanley canonical kubel is one of them he thinks it's time that young people start making their voices heard what we are seeing now is this age of young people trying to assume political leadership and i think that is important for africa because naturally the youth come with a different kind of energy a different kind of innovation and that's critical for the transformation we're pushing for africa that gives even our democracies a good chance to really be to be strong because you see the resistance for setting

changes that have kept huge political powers in africa in place for a long time and that can only be changed. when there is new blood new ideas and pushing that agenda. back in among go is handing out water county stickers but not everyone appreciates the guest for years politicians would give away money as a form of vote buying some of the locals were hoping for more but if to mistake that the next generation of leaders want to simply be judged by the size of their wallets why didn't want that young people young women's shoes what a body and this is why i think what we have an idea we have that you know. we have that thing mule mindset we've got a new generation and if i don't do it nobody's going to buy out i'd lay out the little window that eventually bloomberg gives in and also distributes some money

after all people's attitudes change slowly and there is still a long and difficult road ahead for obama and other young african police but progress is already being made. that's it for now from the get up in years africa you can catch all our stories on our web site on the face of the pitch so next time it's by far not. bursts. home use of species. words if you can. get those are big changes and most start with small steps or picking global ideas tell stories of create is people and innovative projects around the world. like music country least drainage solutions and resource to show. community interest content change in the next generation by
