the attention of the famous naturalist and explorer. to celebrate the from the books 250. marking the for your discovery. expedition in blood on the. ilo that welcome to the 77 percent i show for africa's use at the micro junior. coming up on the program. we visit claudio. in cape town. to join his majesty the king of condoms in his fight against hiv you can take. sex that's perhaps caused this files of men about virginity but 1st let's begin

with a more serious topic jail and detention zambia is notorious for its crowded prisons was people held in pretrial detention i young men the inmates often spend years behind bars waiting for their case to be had by a court of law so why is the justice system so broken we'll put this question to the zombie on a bus about to germany. in just a bit before we get into that heartbreaking report on a young man who spent 3 years in jail for a crime he did not commit young inmates are leaving the lusaka magistrate's court they are among the lucky ones their cases have been heard in a court of law of a 7000 be an intimate as to waiting for their turn become study or work why they are in detention and often have no choice but to pay bribes in exchange for adequate food water and shelter. knows the reality of

life behind bars far too well he spent 2 years in pretrial detention after being falsely accused of marjah palooka was locked up in a cell with 15 other prisoners poorly fed and with no access to hygiene facilities the only reminded him of. but no. one got a moment when i have flashbacks to the nightmare of prison. you know when i when i feel lonely my memories of prison haunts me. i ask myself why i had to go through all that. over the. innocent color luca was eventually released with the help of impossible i know you know who works with the human rights organization. which helps get innocent to juvenile inmates

out of jail. but challenges that appear firstly you find that. crisis and not enough the number of judges and not enough and then there's some backlog so there are some cases which have been backlog for so many years the. sandia is home to the majority of africa's most overcrowded prisons. with up to 25000 inmates nationwide detention facilities like this one in the saga have exceeded 3 times their capacity in 27000 the zombie human rights commission found that intimate often just given one meal a day the overcrowded cells also increased their chances of contracting tb and hepatitis. for the moment kaluga had found a job as a waiter he was released 6 months ago i was on glue or intervened in a managed to get his case heard at a court of law where he was found not guilty but i live received an official

apology instead he still struggles with feelings of powerlessness after being treated so poorly by the authorities. in the new hour but. it was a very painful experience but there was nothing i could do about it i used to cry in the beginning but then i ventured he resigned to my fate i used to wonder why this happened to me what happened happened but i was had bad luck let's make a living that same thing. the public defense system is we really understaffed so there is a desperate need for legal assistance in the past 6 months alone u.p.a. zambia assisted around 1440 inmates like innocent 180 of them were under 18 who were and haku leaks also regular late checking up on former inmates to see how they are coping with life after prison it breaks me

personally it breaks me to give this point my heart thinking if it was me how what would i do how would i feel i put myself in this situation and put my brother investiture asian epidemic of my family in the situation and create what would i do how would i feel and that's the reason that can cause me to put in what i can in order for them to actually help out their zombie and home affairs ministry is responsible for kind of because 2 of the last years however the ministry say's they are not viable for comment and refused to grant us access to the prison its self or not there has been no sign of change in zambia the number of young people being locked up and held in pretrial detention is only increasing in more motivation is needed to tackle this african lite problem. there must be very frustrating and painful experience likely that a guy venture to go out of their stories like these beg the question why did these

things happen give us some more insights we have about germany. welcome to the 77 percent thank you very much and thanks for giving us this opportunity so you saw the case in our reports was a response to that because i saw the case it's very very unfortunate that something could happen to somebody who is innocent but glad to say that a lot of efforts are being put in by the government of zambia to. ensure that not only do such cases recall but they're also trying to turn the prison services right now into something that helps to reform people having saved that there is not excuse for any injustice for somebody to stay in prison without being convicted for the crime for 2 years i was because of these kind of cases that you have seen this pressure the government of president at the law by the way our president is

a lawyer he is known before getting into public office for having taken up more such cases of innocent people than probably any other one was known on record presently for saying i would rather see 10 guilty men walk free than to have one innocent person wrongfully detained exactly the thing is some people would say it's probably a bit too much talk and less action because we're hearing things are supposed to be done but a situation is worsening so what exactly is being done you know the issue of saying that the situation is worsening in my view actually is somebody that can be turned around into a positive in the olden days such cases never came out on the international forum they never came out on the local forum so it appears as if they are on the increase and this is largely because we have a much more aggressive and much more open government for things that would have otherwise been suppressed in the fast in the past due to limitations on what you

can cover and now coming out i think it is a good thing that our country and by the way this is not even equally as zambian problem i think it is something that is widespread in a civil case that is it has no experience of them but i think we make in very progressive moved moves i know that from the last report i think about $3000000.00 or much more have been set aside in order to try and be sure that every. mall police that have been recruited the reasonable my just troops that have been recruited there's more judges that have been put into the judicial system we'll hear more from zambia's i'm busted out to germany shortly but now reacher away from uganda also has some thoughts on this issue this is has song criminals recorded as proof of lee.

in the morning. why. not just write some. problem. in the. way. that was the 1st of many more raw props to come i hope he will enjoyed it but let's take to the topic the trial detainee i want you to imagine you've been sent to prison for me and you're not even sure why unfortunately this is

a common problem across africa. more than 1000000 people in african presidents. 40 percent of the trial between these in prison they face for hygiene violence on the in lack of legally. according to the university of london at 90 percent libya has the highest number between east and africa in nigeria africa's most populous country it's 68 percent and in zambia 28 percent. overcrowding is also illegal. the west offend this uganda and zambia. prison occupancy levels that are 3 times higher than your official capacity. you had the situation and it seems as a challenge across many african countries why's that. i think it has a lot to do with a great lot of investment in the past and also maybe

a realisation that. when people thrown into jail or into they the reform systems they're not really supposed to go there to get punished but they're supposed to be getting there so that they can be reformed in order for them to come and integrate in the system in the normal system in zambia's case because you had asked what we are doing rather is it just rhetorical why are we just being mayor and lip service in the zombie a one thing i'm comfortable of telling you on record is the fact that we are already investing in getting more space for the prisons so that it can be more reformative than punitive the facility that you assured earlier on in the program that facility is as old as 55 years old that have decreased since the number of offenders has been increasing and there is this tacit with us that confirmation by the government of knowing that this is a problem so how do we talk of this problem let's be more better facilities

wrapping it up in daydreaming solutions shot one is to ensure that there is more facilities much better facilities that ensure that there is proper human rights 2nd is to increase on the number of judges and number of magistrates who should make sure that the backlog of cases are taken care of much fuss that's what are people do not have to wait for 2 years or 3 integration integration system when these great people come out of the reform service how are we enter integrating with them in order to make them a much better part of society thanks very much mr mcwhorter thank you. after covering such a tricky topic and i think it's time to come on with some more uplifting stories. well the cape town one of the biggest cities in south africa and also one of the cities on my list of places to visit it's affectionately called the mother city and

is known for its impressive landscape its connection to nelson mandela a vibrant music scene we catch up with musician you. some of the best. spots in. short for your mother in africa is the stage name of claudia with boy the hip hop artist moved from georgia on the garden reed to cape town in 2016 she loves the panoramic view from the slopes of signal hill. but enough with the tranquility we're off to our 1st destination. we drive to observatory obs at the locals call it a bohemian neighborhood popular with arty types it's the location of your most favorite shop. there is nothing you can't find in this shop. owner

the owner is out and we say touchiness goodbye from the mother city. so have you ever met a king in your life because i have although you're pretty unlikely to bump into one on the street but did you know that kabera the largest slum in east africa has its own royalty is not your average king his purpose is to help the people in canberra defeat hiv by advocating the use of condoms now that's a difficult task even for a king. behold his majesty the king of condoms. we join him in his kingdom kibera slum in kenya africa's the largest up until now. this is my kingdom does my territory it is my eyes i can hear every day and use what you call a lady up

a good 1st. item is to engage the community to have a little sleep with them love what you call trust building and i teach them on how to use condom expanding did stage is. from there i do the most literal. gotta draw it from the most literal everybody will be depending to the need to have people want an immediate recall want one in good standing eva king of condoms started advocating for safe sex and the importance of using condoms after high school after losing a close friend to a change stanley decided to start honest and open conversations about hiv with as many people as possible to draw people's attention here is this i catching royal out feet this very attractive and it's also make me feel proud that i'm the king

and i'm able to interact with people you know a good level at a low level the king me is high level coming from the slums it's very attractive to me to them. in the last 2 decades hiv infections in kenya have decreased by hamas organization is like l v c t health who supply the king of condoms with well condoms have helped steer these efforts however 5.6 percent of the population still carries the virus and recently a new worrying trend has a much to. do we've noticed that now among the new infections there's an increased number among the young people generally so here we're talking about age about 15 to 24 years who are at highest risk of infection in poor settlements like kibera infections among young people particularly on the right i came to realize that these are charges condoned by guinea because the same god when you asked them

why why what happened was ideas money he bought for maybe he started being made into this started when do they present this month prison on. thinking of condoms and his project supply girls with green funding but it's full of digital. so that they can sell their crops even the small income helps young girls become independent and less likely to engage in acts of 618 year old lucky from idea is part of the project and anne's part of her living with a farming pad. they don't have to be a parent to those money. smoko since sexual. activity so that you can get some money to buy. your food their confidence their courage to say no i can't support myself thinking of condoms moves on to continue his daily mission to protect his kingdom kibera i can tell why he t.v.

. is an african almost 70 percent of people living here to hear you know. the power of that simple thing called the times new t.v. critic i believe we need somebody who could now mark where he told me he may be when . from the king of condoms we're now turn to the queen of sex and relationships. this week we're tackling a sensitive topic janet but what does bridget it's a really mean insult it's not just about sex like many would have you believe it's more complicated than that than sex expert is here to tell us more. hello there and welcome to the spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything sex and relationships today we have

an e-mail all the way from nigeria it goes a little something like this hi i'm erica a 24 year old girl living in a belgian nigeria i have this problem when i tell people that i'm a virgin i get negative reactions mainly from sexually active women some women change their energy towards me and stop talking to me like i'm an alien my question is why do some people react the way they do to virgins thank you for your email mecca 1st off virginity is a social construct that was created by the patriarchy to please female bodies and make us feel guilty about our sexual experiences let me explain to you what i mean by this logic is often framed as something that only applies to straight relationships so people tend to forget about diverse genders and sexualities that don't conform to societal norms. just because somebody is more sexually active or even older than you it doesn't mean that their opinion matters you've made

decisions about your body and for your reasons your body your choice and if you keep up with that attitude you will see how much further it will take you in life especially when it comes to the boundaries that you create with others and while we're at it let's clear up some myths about virginity lots of women think that their hymen will tear the 1st time that they have sex some cultures check a woman's a bed sheets for blood stains as proof of a genital on her wedding that. but the popping of the cherry may actually have nothing to do with rigidity i see some women will believe the 1st time that they have sex and some women roomed in fact some women tear their hymen before they have sex through normal activities like playing sports or inserting a tampon meca just don't let anyone hold you or your sexuality hostage just do what you feel is right for you and your body we support you from me til next time by for a while about was very enlightening like cast says listen to your body and your heart

and stay confident thanks as always cast. well we've covered sex we've covered crime the only thing missing is rock n roll but maybe next time we'd like to hear your thoughts on the show so send us your feedback via 77 d.w. dot com time's up and we got to go but be back soon coming up on our next program. money travels to south africa to speak with teenagers about politics and the problem of corrupt i mean. we get to the heart of the issue for our street people. before we go we have some music to share with you this is blinky bell and me with the big hair and good buy.
