this is 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 african soil mole notable is that there are more women but has president sort of also managed to rid the all corrupt elements. and the off work made out of how down we have are a bunch of wonders. how would survive the 1994 genocide and the women preserving it's today. i'm christine wonderwall come to deeds every news africa i'm glad you're in 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 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 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 that deputy president david my boys are 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 party fighters even goes as far as to say that this is a declaration of war for more on this i'd like to bring in south african journalist very welcome to africa very rationally so how clean is it i'm a forces cabinet did he manage to get rid of all the former president jacob zuma people appointees who are perceived as being corrupt. haggis you think that having me on the show indeed i hope was i 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 really poor brought the government and hockey into disrepute and that's not to say that all of them of so-called allies have been cleared 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 cian but didn't you those who were involved in the state capture project have been mostly because he had out although we must realise that even still coming out over a lot of people who might still go on to be implicated alright for ashley and this is that he's had to do 2 things he's had to manage expectations from within the party he's also had to manage expectations from the public in compiling this this this cabinet how do you think he say it. you look at what 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 party and government 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 less minister as right fishing energy. people names you probably hoping people open their eyes to be informed and action so he didn't entirely make him happy ok because i didn't. write that just on that point range and i just want to listen to it on what was a speaking a 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 all south africans are acutely aware of the great economic difficulties that our country is going through right now but they also are way out

of the constraints that have been placed on our public finances it is therefore imperative that the in all areas and spheres of government we place a priority on revitalizing our economy. wide at the same time exercising great's k. 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 day if you tease that he could have x. 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 beautiful school fees pain so that he can reduce the money elsewhere

he's already started doing that the deuce in cost outs we are right south african journalists fresh 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 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 14 he's gonna see young member of parliament she was just 23 when she was elected in 2016 apart from making laws on team finds time to respond to letters from head constitutes. i think politics is one thing that came so much in schools and especially when it comes to

member of parliament in spears and i hope to learn more because 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 of 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 different like you do that is period you don't have to make meaningful contributions when it comes to decision making there are 7 to one kenyan m.p.'s below the age of 45 francisco is the only one and that's 18 so the question of inspiring younger politicians falls upon hey

i have a tax to make sure 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 far 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 the role. and the way cow dung just as you see it behind me is the made 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 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 a gong go. it has a long tradition in rwanda 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 is when you come on this ticker ration 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 almost a 1000000 people were killed and 100 danes and could in 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. everyone had problems and was traumatized but we had each other it helped a lot. the artists 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. the women consciously avoid portraying the horrors of 1994. with. some artists write songs or books about the genocide. but that's out of the question for us. we think 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 dealer who would be trying. their 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 souls. and that's way 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 training muslims observing ramadan across the african continent still next time i banged.
