and you know what time. this is where. 77 percent this weekend on d w. news africa coming out in the next 15 minutes. library. with corruption on the ongoing economic hardships demand solutions from president. bush speaking to a political activist. government. business . what do you what do you want to do.

we start in liberia where is growing again. after massive demonstrations on friday protest coalition of civil society groups on the opposition party members issued a list of demands thousands of liberians took to the streets of monrovia on the save the state to protest against. management. has been impossible almost 18. to the minister of justice with a list of demands including the sacking of the finance minister. involved in $100000000.00 in mis and bank notes since we became president the current see how steep. by the way that significantly puts us to said d.

where ty it on suffering under his rule one yank and i want the truth yes it was like this whether we could do yellow up the bunker they know it or not of the not good night love it and that though if you love it the key thing is that what that will mean breath only i have. been a top priority one on one and i never miss it from all the fun i think is going on decent job it was really cool 40 years and the fact that i. let it go were not an act that not the kind of people they're not real people or what you find out on that do you know no i never was all over the president you like but not get the benefit of this that whatever they are yet the money coming from on this i'm joined by many. people in its core activists in the world yeah hello and thousands of times now i put this i gave in government in one month

deadline to meet steady months what exactly. thing. well there is what the what the c.e.o. p. finally read out amounted to 40 count it 40 told to sit. on that list. mainly criticism around the lady economy has been run. the issues of accountability and. reconciliation and post-war. transitional justice issues just specifically the call for the establishment to walk crown court although they put forth want to do much one can just group them to 3 broad categories not be caught in the about justice which is post-war of the suits tons of justice issues and then. they come to me they run it leafless in that we witness in a total collapse of the light doing dollar. now on me i ask for incidents has been

in for just over a year is that fair. to me to the results. well we're past that point as to whether or not this fair i think the angle the witness in monrovia is newly. people as president sign he that the economist is not only stagnant but i think it's a gets in the works so that the engagement of the best political engagement we witness in isn't it press for myself transformation instead it is about maintaining the gains that they made i want preventing a back what's locked so if in his tenure us presidents things i guess and where it's us us suggesting what does this really mean for his presidency. well it means you're easy on notice and the economy is going to be very key for him

if he's to stay on if he's able to find political consensus was engaged in a constructive dialogue with the opposition the president's own said a few weeks ago that dialogue is the way follow it backs up follow up on and he's able to get some sort of a political consensus to announce its face to implement reform but speed is going to be the watchword does group patience and that in one move. ok now if not for previous governments have tried and failed you know it was the same criticism for president johnson sirleaf what. the current president to be out due to stump corruption in a country because that's one of the main things people are complaining about. well you have to muster the political will i know states the same things but then it's not just black and white a lot of gray into it. and he's managed in the medium term and

the medium term effects of the quote crisis and collapse of commodity prices but he will have to he can't just point to the fact that he's to have been on this absence of being demanded now and the reason the pressure is really ratchet up on that and it's because he's also having to deal with these. red in the political resistance when the economy it's not an all time low so you have to find innovative means to do to jumpstart the economy he needs to do it you probably need to win the support you have to reach out to community the credit will not get resources to respond to the economic questions so as to turn down depression and creates things to work on the long term issues ok i mean if i kind of what it's for activists in more obeah liberia thank you very much for your time.

and i did do a story brought you last week did have a news article reported from zimbabwe on a white farmer fighting illegal bottle to hold on to his avocado farm which i said his business was under threat from london vegas who claimed the land was the best he told us that destruction had put 600 jobs vest following reports the government has stepped in to resolve the dispute tweeting that the motto had been effectively dealt with and that some bob will respects property rights. we can't have this right. we can't remember. whether we have been listening.

because what you're looking at. is a $25.00. it's not an overnight. and it's not. joining me now is nick mungana government spokesperson hadi welcome and thanks for your time why did you decide to visit mr. sometimes when you hear him and when i didn't with a case. far away from it you need to be able to look at the to rain see the geography but more importantly see the agra process in that was and that is in place at farfalle i wanted to see it for myself why are we saying this is very productive business where we saying this is an export oriented business and way are we saying this fits very well in the narrative was about was open for business so this was the papers of their visit ok now i don't know if i can link up their post to this questions is up to say that if if you went there and you found out that it

didn't meet what your head that it met then one of the have been ok that his farm was taken away from him. no that wasn't going to change the outcome because when the when the cabinet. position or a decision it becomes policy saw that decision that was passed on the 28th of may was in sync with the with government policies government policy is pronounced by the president in these inaugural speech on the 24th of november 27th in and subsequent statements that have been made and the actual police opposed by a cabinet on several occasions to the effect that. the land issue is no longer a racial issue it's not only a question of race and more importantly. no productive lands would be taken but we're not taking land any way except that land which is too big for one person and

when we have such a 100 population for land ok those ones will be downsized and people that it would have multiple farms these so-called multiple. land owners those ones who may lose some of them in terms of the land orders that were carrying out but does that is why is the government polices consent these particular phrase fitted well into the police ok sounds. complicated some times the land will be taking and given to other or spread out to other farmers also but but but back to the main issue for discussion when all the off be withdrawn so that you can actually own is own farm that's that's that's definitely a bureaucratic process they offer letter that was given to mr mills and is going to build a drone and. as for mr. liviu he has to apply for it or more to be given that i mean for the lease agreement in terms of the government directive

saw it's a matter of we're talking we're really talking of administrative issues here i mean certain issues are not police issues once the police has been pronounce we may you know it may take long to draft of these documents get into that office to be signed with the other but as i said it's administrative don't think we should be very much bogged down badly set of issues ok so ultimately he can relax because things are going to go smooth he's going to still be in control of his own farm that's a yes right that's a yes that's a definite yes now finally or you those who want to continue working that's good are finally before you go what is the government's doing about other farms facing similar threats what we pronounce on the 28th and what you pronounce it now is a policy police the police is that no productive land will be taken away from somebody who is purchasing a lot of reprocessing will be taken away for no price to anybody no question suggestion of land and we also or property rights is pay our constitution that's

the position that is the fate of any other land that falls into that category. ok thanks very much nic mangwana government spokesperson and i are. about the phone now from d.w. news africa you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page and if you're thinking about changing your style leave you with a range of ideas for your wardrobe from busy as the car fashion week which ended over the weekend to give even to be offered coming futuristic and enjoy the next time the 5. model to the planet to. the for.
