which are. willing to accept. these each and want website to debbie to comes to. join or something support. hello and welcome to the 77 percent i was so full of. are you under 35 years old then you open 77 percent of africa's population and you are in the right please this show is all about you coming up on today's program in canada we ask young creatives and critical thinkers what defines afrikaans and i think. we need the paralympic champion things lined up.

and we explore the angolan capital one that we d.j. kampung as you clearly. but fast let me ask you a question who gets to decide how a freak out and its history is put treat up until these 14000 time more steam 3 books on africa have been reached in from a western point of view foote children especially that very few books we sell the story of all continent from our own perspective but c tang's are finally changing south africa any story i know my longtime tease it has taken matters into her own hands and published on african history book for. well you know my london cusick let's read it to our daughter but today she's reading a book she wrote himself. and the girl wow i'm. without

book in africa with our view and. south african historian no longer hopes to prepare language for the future by teaching her the history of why people. only experience as an african that the one thing that africans that has encourage them through centuries of pain is knowing where they are and where they come from. the university professor discovered that african history books written for kids or most exclusively focused on ancient egypt she wanted to paint a broader picture about the continent's past she wants to cover everything from ancient history to more contemporary independence movement. when africans are clear about the history and about where they come from and the origins and the different mythologies we do way better as kids in school we do way better as students at

university. in the world in terms of being innovators when we know our history no longer also realized that there are no history books that children in africa could really identify with she was determined to fill the gap and sat down with her illustrator friend. to develop a comic book for children in african history just trying to represent visually. elements of african history so that kids can. kind of get a feel for it through the visual side. what you know we. turks african people know my longest approach is simple shows kids and young adults a different perspective on african history the subject of slavery for example is looked at from a much broader perspective and doesn't just focus on africa. she shows that humans

have been cruel to one another everywhere throughout history this is an important message in a country like south africa where christmas of its colonial past can still be found everywhere. no longer stresses that this alternative perspective was sorely missed and up until now even in schools but now those like those in the family eleusis and rescore have something to be proud of i want to know more about african. because it is my. no one in this book embraces african history and culture as it covers issues ranging from the rise of asian civilizations to slavery colonialism struggles for independence and famous africans. it's really. teaches people about cultures yes or coups i feel joy because we don't have books like this. does have. no millennium gleeson's confident

that her efforts will pay off the popularity of our book is to rise and perhaps one day how work will even become compulsory in schools across africa. if that report got you curious to know more about some of the most famous personalities across africa's history you can also check out the w's online multimedia project african. that leads me to next big question what are the roots of our identity. well reporter aged care money went to our home city nairobi to find out and she is joined by a special guest b n i. a member of one of africa's most popular boy buns.

i've heard it said before afropop after future isn't even it seems that recently there is i might even go as far as call it an obsession of africans to attach their identity to the work that they do and i'm wondering why why is african identity so important who better to answer this question for me than some young africans and one of them actually named his album very additions title live and die in africa so we're going to start with you being an african story is our story told by us as told by us because with no hold on so if d.w. is a source let's put ourselves let's put ourselves on the line here d.w. is providing the platform d.w. certainly not african but this is the african story told by us we are the ones who are telling you what we are about ok so the african story is the story of africans as told by the people of africa to resign 11 his vision has as no no no no it doesn't show he has asked another question who is. that's my question is who is out because because. i know

a great group how many how many generations is it take to be defined as african is what i want to know. ok does anyone have an answer to that question how many generations does it take for you to be defined as african assuming that your background or what we call your indigenous roots are not african any answer any takers i don't think it's enough for you to see yourself as an african the african people the community that you're in has to see you as an african you get it has to be a 2 way thing i found this is a very philosophical zone so to be is to be perceived to be african is to be perceived and i can just insert myself into africa and feel african oh my god i feel african no it has to be you. the people who you found there do they see you as african it doesn't have to take generations i think we have people who have lived in kenya for 10 years right now and they see themselves as africans it's actually how you carry the african pride to how you see yourself how you respect the culture how you respect their age and what makes you feel it doesn't have to be skin seems

that we are very sensitive about the ownership of this identity so when other people lay claim to it we get a little edgy about it why are we so sensitive about identity because of colonialism and having to deal with imperialism we are extra touchy about the subject of african it and we have completely embraced colonial sort of dispositions when it comes to how we choose to govern ourselves but somebody might hear you say that and say well you are influenced by the west you're hearing some of western ideas having this conversation in english we. having this conversation in english trade so yeah it's so that's the thing i don't actually believe that in 2019 and in the centuries to come that there would still be this thing called african identity because of globalization essentially that this idea of african is it means one that rules be depleted in the years to come you don't agree and i don't know

you that. i think it's because of the influence and the pressure and the context of globalization that's the precise reason why people hold on to their identity if if there's a force that's that's homogenizing everyone making it run the same then what makes you unique becomes that much more important but it feels that is really not going on but he is really really not happy bunny here you know what i find it funny that none of us have talked about how the fact that african identity has also been tied to our struggle we have not had a conversation about privilege we've not had a conversation about this our skin tone let's have it. and the fact that our skin tone in all its melanie to forms has been the subject of prejudice has been the subject of slavery for 100 plus years and that that also contributes to what we consider ourselves to be there anything to do will always have a passion attached to our identity no but that that or pressure and those outside

forces the same way that a diamond is formed by outside pressures cannot get away so we have to say. that is has played a role in shaping what we have so we are very very sensitive about holding on to it because so much has been taken from us that we are like ok what do we have all right we have our skin tone ok we have our sense of rhythm ok we have power and she my golly. a pounded young man you know so we have all these things that we happen to celebrate and we're happy to adorn but when other people wear them adorn them in a way as though they're celebrating it's we call it appropriation and it's appropriate the reason why the line is drawn when gucci for example we decide to take the most likely to engage and then do a runaway you know because intuition of that and then go oh my god africa is so amazing but no africans actually the most people who are there what it is of the form of fabric and i want to benefit from it that some. touching is just bouncing

which is feeds you it seems ok ok ok ok look so you guys heard recently that oklahoma thought i was. here the q. and it's like you're not being. able do it for your benefit of being this very phrase from lion king which means no worries in africa which is very revealing and it shows that where we need to step up legally as africans is we kind of need to be able to get a heavier presence in terms of trademarking in terms of cooperating in terms of seeing what we have and the things that we have as potential exports or whatever the only reason i say that is because someone else is going to do it so what did she says about. africans having a more kind of like legal and copyright presence or strategy is good but i also think that the people who are stealing should stop stealing right so if you have a house which has valuable things in it and someone comes and breaks in and things your stuff right. who did the wrong thing was it wrong for you to have things in

your house or was it the thief who shouldn't have come to steal the right the reason why africans don't copyright everything is because it doesn't occur to us that these things are. wrong but i just want to ask you guys that question one more time why is african identity so important africa has been the site of upon theft up on it and that sense of loss has been part of our history for centuries really and it's in this moment of globalization couple late stage capitalism is when it's becoming more intense right and so the reason why we are looking to what makes us different is because that's how for us to become human our human has been identified with not africa right that that in the category of human black does not exist african does not exist in order for you to be human you have to be white or white adjacent right and so we are here expanding the category of human to include

africa while that was that was that was that hit me right here and that's a great place to wrap up this conversation and i suppose we can all agree that it's very complex and i'm not entirely sure we fully answer that question but i think one thing we can agree on is that african identity is important because it affirms that we were unlike christine the background said it affirms that we still are thank you so much for tuning in that was so exciting i'm actually a little exhausted just from all the thinking thanks for joining us. thank you wow now that was an important discussion to have if you want to add your thoughts you can engage in the debate on our face page and you can also watch a longer version of that street debate on youtube. now let's head to one like in many other countries life with a disability here is still anything but easy when his own mind that became disabled

he was forced to live on the streets a few years later his life to a surprising task. this is. the man that lives up to 160 kilograms. and he's part of the run paralympic delegation and travels to international sports competitions but his story is also about enough strength to escape life as a street child. getting. when i was older good. the disease affected one leg when i was taken to the hospital i received injections suddenly also my 2nd leg was affected. why i have a disability. only shortly after both of his parents died dropped out of primary school and out there was no one taking care of him he was forced to live on the streets. i slept

on the outside for and of houses and sometimes even in gabby's containers when i was looking for some left over to. my life as a street really wasn't a mall. with. no going through all of the equipment. in this part of the rundown government's efforts for inclusion children with disabilities are still facing stigma and many end up on the streets begging becomes key to their survival as it was for deal with. when a family is poor and have a child with disabilities this often not work or even in the society it is treated like a mom would still support him but don't want to move. 2 fights every day life challenges to jane started training on the streets when he was a teenager no one told him to. make you feel like i just it's

a size 2 on the road for a street child mitch protect himself against threats from others that's why i started training i wanted to become strong to protect myself in times of trouble no known. help wanted sign. in 2003 good night. still sleeping in a very basic self-made jeans a politician approached him he could become part of the national team for the car apology lifting but then 21 years old went to his fast international competition to all africa games in nigeria. and didn't quote i start to slip in a different hotels life was suddenly great nice for even give me new clothes rubber now. the commonwealth games continental competitions even the parliament extrinsic

12th in london. the one. with these costs money and other professional sports money he could rent his own house and buy a transport but act in a god of this is my bike on the ground of poor people who need transport would prevent problems my bike and i transported for them but sally and i live in delhi will mark the old bus of course needed it. today because the 70 year old is a train or a motivator and a role model for others living with disabilities who would want to please show. her their little motors in the world in real fear genius like a brother to me a friend. well i have today i have because of feel thanks to him i'm a professional sportsman today i'm a little it was enough for death to be an asshole. regularly

invites young people of the street to a free training and even for a long dinner he hopes that one day people with a disability will happen same opportunities like everyone that all of his friends can attain their goals. now as i wanted to go out like her in a place where i welcome people with a disability to despoil and help them realize their dreams have lacked a father an education because most of them could not go to school. by give up the money until his vision becomes reality television news it's about small victories one at a time. what an inspiring story but remember it's up to us as a society to ensure people with disabilities have the same approach unities as everyone else. moving on to the capital. it's famous for

being the world's most expensive. but there is so much more to this day now make metropolis local d.j. declaw is the voice of a popular radio show in rwanda he took us on a possibility although he's a fascinating hometown. ollie's saturday morning and a very particular sound is spreading over angola's capital city is the sound of. radio show we really really really really good morning and this is the most recent . one on the program a big assed program a little deal. 2 for 6 members of the radio fund's kapanga think will show is not to be mixed 2 and a half hours of biting commentary on all sorts of topics close to the heart of london $6000000.00 inhabitants longways a city full of contrasts where the country's many natural resources have made some

people rich that's not the case for the vast majority of the population. is our guide for the day. that some of you wonder what officially the most important is are made. the president. will you see his turning his back on us it seems it only has for his hometown. the next stop on kapanga city is a colonial fortress remind us of portuguese rule everywhere but their heroes no longer play the starring roles in an independent angola still this is the one of the tourists get to see we're heading off the beaten track. and next up via an ox lengths over the one we have in my area. this is make it to a group come and take a look at my area. is
