i'm not proud of them they will not succeed in defining the shadow not succeed in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of these dictatorships. taking a stand global news that matters. barnes. this is deja news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes south africa's new cabinet has been sworn in and most of the faces will be familiar to south africans saw a mole notable is that there are more women but has president sort of managed to rid the act of all corrupt elements. and the offer it made out of calm down we have a reporter one does. how would survive the $9094.00 genocide and the women presenting it today.

i'm christine wonderwall come to deeds every news africa i'm glad you didn't we begin in south africa where president settled on the poll says a new cabinet has been sworn in stemming corruption and mismanagement that has cost the country hundreds of millions as a key tossed for this cabinet it's a major issue also facing the ruling a.n.c. whose election win this month was the weakest in its $25.00 he is in power. has this report now from the legislative capital. the cabinet announcement received mixed reaction c. and south africa president was praised for the gender equality 50 percent of the ministers are women he was also praised for reducing the number of ministers from 36 to 28 although at the same time he increased the number of deputy minister the president also decided. to leave some controversial party members out of the

cabinet like the former minister of woman who is accused of mismanaging government funds but at the same time the president said that those who were left out of the cabinet will be able to help the government in other rules and this to many south africans does not sound like the strict fight against corruption that the president initially promised he also decided to reappoint the deputy president. once again who is actually also facing allegations for corruption and money laundering as well as public enterprises minister gordon who the public protector says should face disciplinary actions for improper conduct the opposition party of the economic freedom fighters even goes as far as to say that this cabinet is a declaration of war for more on this i'd like to bring in south african journalist a welcome to africa very rationally so how keen is it on

a forces cabinet that he managed to get rid of all the former president jacob zuma as people appointees who are perceived as being corrupt. haggis he thinks that having me on the show indeed i hope was that did do as promised are keeping out most egregious appointees under former president zuma people like but to be is i mean he who was found to have lied in court people who have maybe it will go to the government and hockey into disrepute but that's not to say that all of them of so-called allies have been cheated out there was a really hard not to make it look like a witch hunt and it's not just that all the candidates are competing cian but didn't you those who were involved in the state capture project have been mostly b.p. had out although we must realise that evidence still coming out over a lot of people who might still go on to be implicated. all right freshly out there is there is that he's had to do 2 things he's had to manage expectations from

within the parties also had to manage expectations from the public in compiling this this this cabinet how do you think he say it looked when he was a balancing act no examples are famous for being a skilled negotiator as someone who was instrumental in bringing about the end of apartheid and a negotiated settlement so he really consulted widely and extensively to try to keep a very divided hawkie and governments to get though right and to buy into the changes he was trying to make so that means that no one was really very happy the public was hoping for deeper cuts to government less minister as right fishing energy. people names of probably hoping for their eyes to be in some different action ok so he didn't entirely make him happy ok but doesn't that did. right the just on that point by genetics want to say listen suit i'm opposed to speaking of because money

is a big factor with the way south africa's economies that it's us in trouble it was and i want to get your reaction to that in a 2nd all south africans are acutely aware of the great economic difficulties that our country is going through right now. but they are also aware of the constraints that have been placed on our public finances it is therefore imperative that you know all the areas and spheres of government we place a priority on revitalizing our economy while at the same time exercising great ok in the use of public funds ok so the as a public funds he's reduced the cabinet by about 8 ministries but some critics say that he could have done more for example there's a lot of data that he could have x. how do you think he did in this regard very picky. well obviously he didn't do

a very good job looking for a lot more and i think he was hoping for a lot more but adding to the price he's paying for keeping it on to the same page and we must remember that cutting down on ministries is not the only way to save money so does my beautiful school fees pain so that he can reduce money else when he's already started doing that to do so in cost outs we are right south african journalists freshmeat they talking to us from johannesburg thank you thank you very much ok so while on the subject of public servants i want to introduce c. to this lady behind me this will be honorable francisco attainments sat at just 26 he is the youngest member of parliament in guyana and sais she hopes to inspire the next generation of young female lawmakers. 26 year old francisco 14 he's gotten his youngest member of parliament she was just 23 when she was elected into him to 16 apart from making laws or

team finds time to respond to let his from have cost a tween it's. i think politics is wanting to give so much. especially when it comes to member of parliament and spears and i hope to learn more each and every day i seem to be. ghana has $275.00 m.p.'s and $36.00 of them are female that is still short of the entire tree. 30 percent representation. explains why it's so tough for young female politicians the perception is. you don't have the strength you don't have the capacity to fit into the politics. and then of course if you are young they feel like you do period you know how to make meaningful contributions

when it comes to decision making there are $7.00 to $1.00 m.p.'s below the age of $45.00 francisco is the only one and that's 18 so the question of inspiring younger politicians falls upon hey i have attacks. i succeed because if i don't succeed i want to be asked to. come up and see. and this is a defense to. give a young person. she came and messed up many female politicians who look up to our team for inspiration so 5 young women have been very impressed by his story and actions she is making a case for the root and his son is. right i think we have a. w.c. . fields people hopefully some of these women will soon

join francisco in parliament. all right our next story is the role. and that way cow dung just as you see it behind me is the made element off a popular art form known as in equal it's believed to date back to the 18th century ad during the 9094 genocide in english skills almost disappeared but a woman's initiative rescued the art form and it continues to thrive in the country . the manure is mixed together with soil and spread out onto good nords after drying these artists file the relief smooth and paint them with natural pigments made of plants or ground minerals. this form of art is called in the gong go. it has a long tradition and wanda that goes back to the wanted monarchy

a prince invented it not to hang on the wall but to turn the wall itself into a work of art. because we are much is that when you come not to stick or ration it was seen as an important symbol in all of the houses in this region. and to make them go was there to keep the house nice and clean but after a while people gave of this tradition. just before the rwandan genocide a few women got together to revive in the congo but then the country fell to unimaginable violence. across rwanda radical hutus incited members of their own ethnic group to wipe out the tutsi minority and almost a 1000000 people were killed and 100 days including most of the in my congo artists . the few who survived lost their entire families.

we had nothing. no houses no food for our children. but because we women work together we could support each other. that was the biggest difference between us and the other villagers. as everyone had problems and was traumatized but we had each other and it helped a lot. the artist taught other genocide survivors what they knew since then 15 women have been working together in the cookie cooperative. their motifs are traditional rwandan symbols often from the natural world the spiral represents an elephant's trunk. the zigzag a crocodile. the women consciously avoid portraying the horrors of 1994. with.

some artist write songs or books about the genocide but that's out of the question for us. we. cannot create a picture showing someone killing a person. our picture should help people and have a positive effect on society. and then the ruling on. their hard work is already shown in many different countries pictures made of common who have helped the women to earn a living and to heal their souls. and that's where it will leave it for now from the news africa as always you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page today will leave you with some stunning pictures for trained muslims observing ramadan across the african continent still next time i buy.
