people who have something to share. with all the time i spent at the salon i feel good quality here when i see it and the good story when i hear. my name is elizabeth dole and i work at. 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 so mold noticeable is that there are more women but has president sort of also managed to rid the act of all corrupt elements. and the awkward made out of calm down we have a report of one does give me all how would survive the $9094.00 genocide and the women preserving its today.

i'm christine wonderwall come to dave's every news africa i'm glad. we begin in south africa where presidents 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 when this was the weakest in its 25 years in power. has this report now from the legislative capital. the cabinet announcement received mixed reactions here in 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. 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 vista many south africans does not sound like the strict fight against corruption that the president initially promised he also decided to reappoint that deputy president david 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 over the economic freedom part or 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 they're actually play welcome to the africa very rationally so how keen is it on

a force as cabinet did he manage 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 it's i mean he who was found to have lied in court people who have maybe people approach the government and hot into disrepute and that's not to say that all of them of so-called allies have been cheated out you know what the tried really hard not to make it look like a witch hunt and it's not to say that all the candidates are competing seen by dint of hugo's who were involved in the state capture project have been mostly b.p. had out although we must realize that evidence still coming out over a lot of people who might still go on to be implicated. all right for ashley i am this 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'd say it look at what he was a balancing act no drum corps are famous for being a skilled negotiator 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 party i'm governments to get that 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 minister has the right fishing energy. people my age are probably hoping for more of their eyes to be in some different action ok so he didn't entirely make him happy ok but doesn't that do it. right but just on that point range and i just want to listen sued i'm opposed to speaking out because money is

a big factor with the way south africa's economies that it's us in trouble and i want to get your reaction to that in a 2nd on south africans are acutely aware of the great economic difficulties that our country is going through right now. but there also are way over the constraints that have been placed on our property finances it is therefore imperative that you know all the areas and spheres of government we place priority on revitalizing our economy while at the same time exercising grades k. in the use of public funds ok so the is 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 defeats he said he could have axed how do you think he did in this regard very picky. well obviously you didn't do a very good job of 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 the same page and we must remember that cutting down on ministries is not the only way to save money so does my view for the school fees pain so that he can reduce money elsewhere he's already started doing that to do some cost outs we're all right south african journalists freshmeat pillay talking to us from johannesburg thank you thank you very much ok so while on the subject of public servants i want to introduce you to this lady behind me this will be honorable francisco attainments that at just $26.00 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 or teen he's gonna see young member of parliament she was just 23 when she was elected in 2016 apart from making laws or

team finds time to respond too late is from have cost a tween it's. i think politics is one. member of parliament it's spears and i hope to learn more each and every day i seem to be a lead in process for me 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 tall for young female politicians the perception is. you don't have the strength you don't have that capacity to fit into a ring and then of course if you're young to feel like you don't know how that is 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 80 so the question of inspiring younger politicians falls upon hey i have a tax same issue 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 new generation. of people hopefully

some of these women will soon join francisco in parliament. all right our next story is there. underway cowdin just as you see it behind me is the main element off a popular art form known as inequal it's believed to date back to the 18th century ad during the 9094 genocide in english skills almost disappeared but a women'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 rwandan monarchy

a prince invented it not to hang on the wall but to turn the wall itself into a work of art. be too much when you come not to stick aeration was seen as an important symbol in all of the houses in this region. going 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 almost a 1000000 people were killed and 100 danes including most of the m.i. congo artists. the few who survived lost their entire families.

and. 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 cook europe cooperative. their motifs are traditional rwandan symbols often from the natural world the spiral represents an elephant's trunk. the zigzag crocodile. the women consciously avoid portraying the horrors of 1994. i

would put her. 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. well in the northern illinois who work. there hard work is already shown in many different countries pictures made of cow manure have helped the women to earn a living and to heal their songs. and that's where we'll leave it for now from d.w. 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 training muslims observing ramadan across the african continent still next time by by.

the way colleen all women what do you think why do we often are less than men and why are we less likely to be promoted and why are we more at risk of poverty in old age is it the same worldwide or are there places where women are the high earners closing the gender pay gap more money for women. made in germany.
