hijacking the news. were i come from the news is being hijacked journalism it still has become a scripted reality show it's not just good versus evil us versus them that's why i want. countries like russia china churchy people are told lives and if you're a journalist there. did you beyond that you are facing scare tactics intimidation.
6:32 am
and i wonder is that where we're headed as well. my responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about being clear and balanced or being neutral it's about being truthful. trying to support golf and i want you know. what secrets lie behind these memos. but find out in them most of experience and explore fascinating and cultural heritage sites to. d.w. world heritage 360 if you feel. this is speed up the news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes
6:33 am
a wounded president south africa's so what i'm up will say is dealt a blow after a state body that investigates corruption accuses him of money laundering the same skill fights the allegations. after careful study. i have concluded that the report is fundamentally and irretrievably full. and getting to grips with the on racing scene in maadi we made one of the sport's aspiring champions. i'm christine window welcome to news africa i'm glad you're tuned in south africa's president said what i'm opposed to has gone on the offensive against any occasions he's 2017 campaign to become leader of the african national congress or a.n.c. benefited from money laundering also went on national television to slam the report
6:34 am
by the country's anti corruption watchdog which claimed he misled parliament over a donation that report contains human rights factually not true says that material nature the findings were found out only in law irrational and in some instances exceed to this scope of the powers of the public protector i have therefore decided to seek an urgent judicial review of the public protect us report it's fine to use and it's remedial action i've instructed my legal representatives to prepare an uptick ation to this effect as a matter of agency and they were going to go over to johannesburg now it. is standing by high too so good to see you so i rang up was has acknowledged that these findings and gets to moss serious why does he insist they're not credible.
6:35 am
from apostle believes he has given enough explanation to the public protector he say's he went back to parliament to apologize for the 1st mistake that to made to explain that the reason why he did it give a different explanation is because he did not knowing that the funds were deposited with the company and as that he had appointed to campaign for his presidency so he believes his statement was not considered in coming up with this conclusion and also if you look across the country the pope reported as a person who was findings have been questioned by so many people some of your findings have been even rejected by the court and in one of those findings he has been made to personally be liable in pay 15 percent of the legal costs because of the findings that to me that were so i imagined of a possible just not $1.00 to accept those findings without taking them to a court of law that will really put a judgment to say they are valid didn't know or they're not right practice i mean i
6:36 am
think it's fair to say i mean i'm opposed to is an embattled president but just how damaging is this report for this president but in a sense it's fighting to stay in office. the problem protect us sir findings are legally binding if she says i'm a poor sod has to be investigated that has to happen so if i'm of course it does not challenge this finding they have done making threes repetition is the president because he's like a president facing kinds which is not acceptable to many people in south africa so what i'm opposed to is taking these steps to climb in challenge and take the findings to fall for review so that they don't dent his image you know n.c. is divided from bottom to center there are those that are supporting from a pasta and there are those that are supporting the former president jacob zuma and analysts are saying this could be some political ploy by some that are opposed to roma post a stance in fighting corruption to try and tell me she's human so that once an
6:37 am
image is tarnished then these recalled then it means trouble for them apostle so he has to play by all means to prime mix sure the churches are squashed up put aside so that he focuses on the wake of ruling the country and getting rid of corruption right speaking of corruption i mean last week we heard from former president jacob zuma testifying at that corruption inquiry you were reporting for as they just remind us again about some of the testimony we heard from zuma and perhaps what that means when of course in the context of all that he is facing as we speak. before the commission zuma is what are facing corruption charges were it is alleged that he allowed a lot of people to loot the state especially one day reach the family that is it contracts across the government departments and in some of those compliance the they did they did nor work at all but there were paid millions of friends and also president jacob zuma is also facing some charges in court or rocketeer in and these
6:38 am
are some of the charges which in corruption charges that he faced or alleged to have committed even before he became the president president i'm a poster has been trying by all means to use the state inquiry commission to make sure those that have done the wrong appear before the commission and lots of ministers about ph president former president jacob zuma have appeared so it is all those i forced that on the process trying that some are saying nor does the right to fight to you they use the problem protector to try and prevent that ok too so one looks even very briefly how our south africans reacting to these findings against president obama post this myth has divided south africans left to right and center the opposition is calling for them of course are to step aside they are calling for him to face the music but there are those that are supporting him that are saying no this is a man who is being victimized for the wake that he is doing against corruption and they want him to continue and their vote to protect him it or course even halting
6:39 am
the rally to try and say we're defending it i'm apostle we defending our democracy to socal milo in johannesburg thank you moving on to kenya now a country where corruption is widespread in an unprecedented move police have the rest of the country's finance minister and we've got a chance to face charges of a misuse of funds related to the planned construction of 2 dans by an italian company and that the $27.00 officials are also to face charges but each has to resign immediately this is the 1st time a sitting minister has been arrested on corruption charges in kenya. ok. the ball is in nairobi with more on this story i believe me what exactly is. accused of doing. wrote it and his co accused face a charges ranging from conspiring to defraud to financial misconduct in short of
6:40 am
course we're talking about corruption here as a bit of more background and as the minister of finance wrote in and his ministry the treasury are responsible for the releasing of money to government projects and overseeing how that money is being used so in this very role not only did he apparently inflate the budget necessary for the construction of these 2 dams but also released $25000000000.00 kenyan shillings that's around $200000000.00 u.s. dollars to this italian construction company to construct 2 dams in the rift valley we're talking about an area region which is really dry suffering from water scarcity farmers and their cattle there are supposed to be helped out get some water with these 2 dams but 5 years on not a single crop of water has reached them so the big question is why did that money
6:41 am
goal and now the man who was in charge is being held responsible for it right i mean what's what's the sense they made any does this a raised mean president that is getting serious when he's pledged to fight corruption. corruption is not new in kenya and. has been accused several times criticized in the past for not cracking down on corruption for decades we have seen scandals we have seen corruption on every level including in the ministry but until now it's always been small offices all well connected businessmen who were arrested so this is the very 1st time a cabinet minister is arrested who has to go to court so many see this as the beginning of the fight that kenya has promised but it remains to be seen if he actually gets to go to prison many believe that yes he will go to court that he will then just pay a cash bail and is released the trial will be delayed for 5 to 7 years judges will
6:42 am
be bribed and he might just get away with it off the roll a minute he talked about how he did make the problem of corruption is in kenya and they are those who are suggesting that there is politics at play here that perhaps the finance minister has fallen out with certain people and hence is now facing the wind what are you learning about with this is there is no politics involved or perhaps there is. well kenyans call of their country the country of google which means something small which then again means a bride everywhere you go on you're supposed to pay a bribe everywhere you go there seems to be corruption and many kenyans tired of maybe a game of politics but just politicians putting the money that they supposed to save got into that very own pockets many of the people i've spoken to today told me
6:43 am
that they have resigned to this reality that they don't see a pup isn't going onto the streets anymore and protesting because the only thing that will change is that they will not make a daily income this is not the scandal it's not the biggest scandal we've seen scandals of corruption surrounding kenya power we've seen when it comes to the kenyan railways corporation or even national news services but this is the 1st time that a public figure of this extent is going to court so many do believe that this could genuinely not be about the play of politics but this could be a step towards getting rid of corruption once and for all in kenya ok that's 1000000 according to bol in nairobi for us thank you. it may not be the 1st thing you'd think off as a spectator sport with each match rusting only a few seconds at a time but competitive on racing is growing fast all of africa in mali one competitor is hoping that the international championship recently held in the

6:45 am
in his category is an asset in our team. because. this competition in mali's capital bamako which brought hundreds of athletes from across africa together none of the judges spoke french or bambara meaning so go but couldn't understand their instructions. that didn't stop him from finishing in an impressive 3rd place. there are still problems isn't gold and that means there's more work to be done in the gym. so go but is hoping to go far in the sport and with wrestling on the rise in africa this is no time to be taking it easy. and that that will now be that he is african as always story on our website and. the next time i think.
