a day but today has been only one not enough to get a hat. we're not going to. enjoy our youth because of so much of a responsibility so. i think. the government have to find something to do today. so we can achieve our. until then the so-called sense of each generation will have to continue filling that gap. so many people in africa can relate with all of my injury in the sense that they too are sandwiched between having to support family members from the generation before them and in many cases the generation off to them to a conversation are black texas also taking place in south africa and to get more insight into that we've invited mesan ending than congo aside to has written extensively on the subject of inequality that exists among black south africans and has also produced a documentary that is out today welcome to africa aside the pot from the research

that you've done in the documentary that you've produced what is your personal experience with black text so i came to this research as the 2nd generation middle class young black south african with a daughter of myself that i have to take care of and planned the future for i think i realized quite quickly that black tax for myself and for my friends was very much gendered very much racialized in the society as an equal as south africa and so i took it upon myself to investigate what did actually meant to be black in the middle class almost 25 years since the end of apartheid ok mess and so as i mentioned to all of you as your documentaries out today i want to play an extra buck that off that and they will pick up from there sure. black the 1st to the financial obligation back in come. to after.

you guys. get a little bit of both. go go go are. not going to. ok mess that is so we've seen that illustration there but what about places that you raise in the documentary you say had that. you know what does that mean for sustainability for communities what does it mean for aspirations of young black children what questions did you arrive at what oncet sorry so one of the main says that i arrived to was that black taxes to magic and a cause of inequality in south africa so it's a both a driver of inequality and the result of high levels of racialized engendered

inequality in the country so while distributions between families occur across all race groups and across all genders in south africa because of the star at the history of a party and it relates to uncertainty in the ability to plan for the future the difference between lower lower class lower middle class and upper middle class is so vast as to become meaningless so for example if we translate that the south african middle class would be earning around $300.00 euro's to around $10000.00 euros per month which is a ridiculous brackets to consider and compare to and so we have a lot of people doing in the black middle class that exist in vulnerability who are unable to plan for the future who are not equal to their may be colleagues and other similar race groups ok of us honestly i'm talking about the

inequality that is as a result if i did say to you from black texan i wondered in that sense then what should we say policy make is due to sort of relieve this this class of people that exist pretty much on the whole continent. so i mean and that is correct and that inequality in the continent is rising and one of the challenges policymakers are facing is that research has shown that in the context of high levels of inequality implementing social recently just repeats of policies is increasingly difficult because the those who carry the burden of tax usually influence the direction of the sea and so policymakers have radii before inequality levels reach a crisis like in south africa to implement progress of policies in ways that allow equitable access to education to health care and to social services in ways that aren't agendas as they are in south africa and further you know one of the more

contentious ones is actually to tax in heritance to tax wealth and heritance transfers to put them into a part that can then facilitate such a distribution all right that's an ending and thank you. and that's the one album the deputy has africa you can actually stories on our website and facebook page on its i by. birth. home to use of species. oh we're sitting. here those are big changes and most start with small steps but googling 2 years tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world. like music country which used to create images of shows and a force to show. interactive content to children next generation going
