i mean nothing out of the germans because sometimes they are placed on nothing with the germans think deep into the german culture. new to predict a disgruntled day i'll tell you it's all out there i'm rachel join me to meet again from the host. hello and welcome to the 77 percent sure for africa's i am at the mike. now just to remind you 77 percent of africa's population is under the age of $35.00 are you part of the young generation then you're in the right place we focus on the issues that matter to you coming up on today's program. in ghana we discussed how the. country african colonies and how we can all benefit.

we have in south africa where we discovered the adrenaline fueled while on the streets spending. around half. for nothing. but 1st what do you do with a broken mobile phone or an old computer recycle it throw it away most electronic trash ends up at huge waste dump sites but exactly great for the environment now to young game developers from ghana hoping to raise awareness of this problem they've created an augmented reality game with the hope inspiring change by taking players right to the heart of the problem. imagine you are a space command and responsible for keeping. what would you do.

this is a trailer for the video game the chronicles of. the game is set in. a district in the southwest of central. home to the in famous crop yet known as sodom and gomorrah it's a vast dumping ground for. game developers prince andrew day fuel and matthew huntsman who grew up in ghana. they want to come up with creative solutions to one of their. country's biggest challenges faced. the game and reality is more or less intertwined it course because what is happening in real life and also the direction explore the world of the water we are creatures it is also on a different different definition of reality so it's more or less in something with

reality as in real life retro unity and comment to me until today again tries to encompass everything. and make it as a whole is everything of an army real need to ask yourself when you're playing a game. and reality really does play an important part here because anyone playing the chronicles of kino needs to be on location at the site interacting directly with the environment. players can learn about the toxic gases that are released when waste is bhante. they can also walk to its goals like getting rid of the rest and cleaning up. the game deals with the theme of recycling but in a playful way another task players might have to compete is taking pictures to document the pollution is no more than a trend where you play games for leisure and we play games like in fact our

mentality to broaden our how we understand things how we are whatever we name in the game. the chronicles of clean new is one part of a medal game called enter africa it consists of 15 different location based mobile games that are aimed at creating positive social change across the continent. we don't operate around we cannot see a different approach to problem solving that is to communication through game mechanics thinking. what a boss sometimes thinking that there's no books are changing we want to see that approach to problem solving and operate like we believe that. it can help people chimes in and bring up the rush of issues out to talk to me we would have talked about and then that is what we want to see. it's time to put the chronicles of cleaning to the test the team is at the digital conference from

public to present the game to the public for the 1st time playing the game it brings you and i when i saw i what's going on in hopes to find the solutions told fixing the problems i found the course is a little bit small but. it's part of it so it's really exciting. i think game currently focuses on pollution but prince andrew at de feo hopes that in the future the game could tackle all sorts of important issues i want to see africa being sustainable you know leave. the shop assistant at the system when it comes to business when it comes to public or child when it comes to game development every industry's day industrialisation africa must be institutionalized right 2050 or $42.00 system that we're in it's own. for the moment it's nice to be

sort of a king is only a vital reality can't gaming help the vision crossed over into the really violent. games like this big phenomena they just allies asian is shaking up ghana and many other african countries we send money via mobile phones and pharmacy and even use ups to help boost the harvest so then just a few examples of promises from tech giants new jobs agree to economic growth but how do we ensure that all of us benefits from they did solicitation are reported to money went to a crowd to find out in this week's street debate. we're back in the capital gonna and today we're going to be asking the question can digital life a shots but africa what is digitalisation to begin with well luckily for me i have

a reading core group of people who are going to explain all the details the challenges and possibly help africa can overcome those challenges and the 1st question is going to go to a man who's been described as a monk to suck a bug for africa oh well he's shaking his head you really don't like that you know go get to that shortly but briefly if you can what is the digitalization utilization is is very much you know disrupting the space enough gun creating jobs creates an opportunity is bringing spirit so it's a good thing you know a lot about persis is enough for god nadia i want to ask you because you're a digital marketer but you're also teaching people digital literacy how do we begin the process of teaching people how to use this very complex software as a programs when they don't even have access to electricity it's a tough pushing because most people that are not benefiting from social media the internet world wide web is because of all these climaxes is because of all these

postings because you don't have internet they don't have the q c c they don't have smartphones they don't even have education enough so i think it's more of everyone's that the thing to do get jobs n.g.o.s civil societies individuals private sectors the governments it's a collective effort we need a collective effort to do this ok i want to bring in someone who actually works for the banking sector we're talking about a digital revolution but of course it needs financing africans serious about putting their money where their mouth is. i don't think about where we put out money i think that once you create an idea most of the time you're lucky to have finance but maybe you need to talk with that sure. you have provided the spots idea 6 or 10 people and then dropping you some peanuts but there's a it's not believe 2 to scale up then you can approach a bank and then a financial institution time actually support so ok well let's you know i think that having gone off funding is that the cost of money is quite expensive to go to

the bank for a loan it's about 26 percent interest rate your interest rates and a young person. have an idea where to buy a nice institution to ask you to fit into 6 percent we have no financial records grad so it's quite difficult right you know developing an idea or even scaling it i want to bring in the student here because he's obviously one of the 1000000 euros and he's been looking for a job in the i.c. sector so we're seeing this is good for the continent but it seems there's no space for people like you companies actually. for the what do you obviously like one person will be 100 maybe 2 jobs so one person we supposed to. sit back and will be doing you are using toughies it's just one person so he's taking the job of someone's else's so should someone doing you are and so on being back and.

yeah yeah and i think i think that's actually the very traditional companies but this changing very fast as you say it's oppression so some of us in the gaming industry now what we're doing is creating more jobs with what's a beautiful day with all the possibilities of the titles so far has done what i tell people is when tech and creative arts come together more opportunities more jobs are created so there's a whole possibility of what bigots brings to a space and we just have to be brave enough to dive into the sectors ok i want to bring in google for society who is actually a human rights activists not a person you would expect to find in a conversation about digitized digital lazy asian oh this would be going to be stumbling over it today. but you see that then needs to be a conversation about what we are doing to society particularly with children

absolutely i'm advocating that technology is good we can't do anything about it digitalisation is good we need it for business development but the excesses it has created is negatively impacting on our children when it comes to pornography when it comes to. having an impact on children and the developers of the technology must come up with measures that will be of use in protecting. how do you react to that. innovation could be a problem can be dangerous particularly to children. of the people who play games. and. place to prevent this kind of negative. and.

damn disruptive. prepared for it because one. there's no infrastructure. and. the people. and the people are not to you know. and the guitar stores. village doesn't have a system of. transactions so. there is a disconnect let me come to you because you were talking about digital literacy so when a person like you had developed something destructive. able to consume it in the way that it has been designed. i think. just like prince said why is that because of the. bragging about how many women in the us actually. it's very less most women who use technology is mostly to.

use in technology. to. make money. i think this is not much white. because that's i guess in people who already are on the internet to make big things happen in spite of everything that he's talking about today the 1st thing just a revolution is africa prepared and does the future look good for us i think we are ready for it but we should also not forget it's informal sector because they are very much important so let's see how we can include them by cheney and building technology to this list solve problems and let's not for cause tension too much on the problems as a solved the problems well thank you very much i have to say it's been a very exciting debate i wish we had more time and i'm obviously feeling like this is a chicken and egg situation i'm not sure if it's humanity 1st and technology later

or the other way around but in any case thank you for watching. and nice to hear from my gun up people thanks to everyone who participated in austria debates you can watch the whole debate on you tube and send us your comments now let's head for have a south street spinning is now the fastest growing motor sports in south africa was once linked to gangsterism but now a new generation of drivers are pushing this subculture into the mainstream you want this a drowning fueled sports isn't for the faint of heart. to interview earlier. screeching tires roaring motors and the empty of adrenaline this is the launch of south african street speaking fun kebab a bit spinning it's like

a drug you have to be pretty fast for me to understand it's turning is all a. dream and i mean. you know just to feel yourself being free to be removed simply to see how many death defying stunts you can perform before the engine gives out speeding evolved during the 1980 s. at the height of the appetite regime expensive cars which while considered status symbols of white supremacy was stolen and used to perform stunts as an act of defiance they were also the perfect getaway cars for gangsta. but the north has changed scenes a young generation of spain as has moved the sport off the streets and into venues events like wheels and smoke in the south of johannesburg popping up across the country. one star of the scene is dealing with grow it is a key he draws excited she is from the crowd as he spins he's caught as close to

them as possible and he always wins the competition little. morning now it's. the people and families and their goodness when as they got to see their favorites one of. them or not mortals ride was in scorning a place where you all for needs a good starting to get recruits for the family game the youngsters they want to play with. all those spinning still takes place on the streets the truly wild days are no longer on today it's seen as a legitimate sport in south africa and it's performed much more. safely in proper venues you can even sign up for a spinning course like here at the sweater drifting academy this is the training ground of the spinola be muggles a female only spinning crew they're determined to prove that these kind of sport isn't just for bad boys. and i do tend to take away all that it's

a stigma that is built into the sport and are trying to take away their true people can be can know that they can also calm and experience things out of their comfort zone so this is a very great experience and it doesn't make me feel like a look at me he would say. making. this a way to drift academy is the brainchild of pool a m who funds the training sessions himself it is the fastest step towards m's ultimate goal of launching the last female spinning league he hopes these women will help push the sport even further into the mainstream. was to be successful as a brand in this thing of want to sponsor and car spinning we need to involve women and to make sure that we actually make it as much as i've been able to all the people that do believe in our society although spinning has its roots in theft today drivers need to dig deep into their own pockets fixing a busted up cars doesn't come cheap professional spinners likes to go right in

soweto is he spends up to $10000.00 euros a year just to keep their cars running luckily many spinners are also skilled mechanic. commercial sponsors are still reluctant to support a sport still largely perceived as illegal. because right now as we said we don't have any sponsors we don't have anything like for instance marco it's a conversion. of year or so but it doesn't come standard like. we convert to the if you have to go to someone a convert. far series like this one makes it into a swan call you're going to pay probably and your sense of 60000 and that's quite a lot of money which not a lot of people have scars wife isn't exactly pleased with her has been close to the sport of choice but that doesn't stop him from being a regular at the wilson small event every thursday in

a society that remains segregated in so many ways spinning isn't just entertainment for sport it's also a sport which not stone racial boundaries loomed the everyone loves it just brings everyone together as you can see here there's different of us is this different people you're all come together for one purpose and to see people and to see a sports that we're trying to hit which is called spinning although some veteran spinners are worried that confining spinning to designated venues east costing just what it's all an emerging young generation of drivers a working hard to improve its reputation so that everybody can let off some steam me. talk about running and sports. best of luck to all the up and coming young drivers but hey stacy. now it can't be

easy being one of the only female rappers in a city of 2000000 people but as i want to say no to a challenge she agreed to show us around his city cannot create. she begins her tour by taking us to the place where it all began. why i am for my to come. from guinea i mean cannot create wow was born and grew up let me show you my city again. has made it as a female rapper in conakry a city of around 2000000 people. have begun in the bustling streets of the union capital to be more precise it began here in the dynamic but equally dangerous. when there's a protest in concrete you can bet it started in this area of the city but have friends didn't come here to demonstrate they came to dance to the beats of their favorites and eventually take the mike themselves 11 years later yeah still meeting
