equivalent of about $40.00 for a fake police clearance certificate when she didn't get any further response she contacted the actual company so i had to send him an email to complain and they said sorry about there we are investigating and please know that this is the game but they never got back to me out until today. pick this experience is not unique the patrons in this internet cafe all have similar stories to tell with an unemployment rate at a record high of 29 percent south african job seekers are the perfect prey for online scammers fraud and identity theft are common motives scams but it can get even more serious especially for women. this can potentially also lead to human trafficking when people suspecting job seekers are lured to thinking that they were good job outside of our borders sometimes even within our borders across provinces

seaborne she is a news editor and anchor at business day t v welcome bronwyn bronwyn can you tell us unemployment is sitting at a record high in south africa what it has contributed to this. so as you mentioned a little earlier record high for us is 29 percent and just to put that into perspective that means that 6650000 people are sitting with work they are a couple of reasons why but the main reason comes down to a lack of investment in the economy 1st seen not only by the private sic to confidence levels but also by government because government is so fiscally construct and they just don't have the money to invest it back into the economy because they're supporting all struggling state owned enterprises. and do you see the situation raising the potential for social unrest.

absolutely there is definitely the raised risk of social unrest and for example banks have been planning for the 4th industrial revolution and that means that they're going to be closing a lot of branches and that's going to come with a lot of job losses and all main banking union which is. they're planning strike action for this coming friday which will see over 40000 workers stay away from work their intention is to bring the whole sector to a standstill because they believe that these job losses are just unacceptable as well as the wages that they're being paid they believe are just too low when home page pate that most getting at the moment in this tough economic climate. thank you very much bronwyn seaborne news editor and anchor at the state t.v. . to the brave new world of cryptocurrency is now out to say the least it's a new challenge for regulators money that goes into traditional banks the might

just be a bunch of ones and zeros on a digital ledger but it has the benefit of being backed by government guarantee cryptocurrency is like a big coin and facebook's lever on the other hand could eventually give a fee up money or run for well that's money and governments around the world have to figure out what that will mean for the future of transacting now here in germany lawmakers met this afternoon to discuss crypto currencies and their potential effect on existing financial systems with a group of chosen experts one of those experts joins me today in the studio katerina garros she is the sea immutable insights a block chain analyst analytics services a firm now fresh from speaking to those german m.p.'s what is your impression of where they are with regard to crypto currencies well in comparison to the other hearings that asked. i was astonished of today's quality of discussion i could tell

that also through all the discussion of the block chain strategy that the german government now proposed actually there has been a significant increase in the level of knowledge and understanding of the technology and to me the striking new prime year if you want was that there was actually the recognition that it's about opportunities and that you know in the broad is proposed example but there could be others and why don't think about a european alternative so i follow that spirit and that momentum as a native and i think that will change the discussion from now on. these their homework is definitely good news but when you talk about opportunities i guess you also have to talk about risks i can also they i can also imagine that they asked you about the risks associated around crypto currencies like terrorism financing investor protection money laundering did you have anything to say about that when you were in parliament today. as

a matter of fact i did because it's one of my core competencies i think that money laundering and block change is associated is an early and urban myth in the end it's to be quite honest the most the most stupid idea to along the money on block because you'll be for ever documented on exactly what you did and companies like ours who specialize in analyzing the box and will be able to prove for ever what you did in when you did it so i think in the end if you twisted around it's about the opportunities also for a state to be more effective tax evasion it's a big topic corruption big topic money laundering terrorist financing but as a bad effect the block is the much better source than the current system because all those things happening in the current system not on the block so i do think that they're also understood that if you wanted to become more effect. as a government then you know we should also look into the opportunities it has for

the state itself now yesterday we saw a bit of a tumble from the cryptocurrency is like a fairy and bitcoin. drops of more than 15 percent now what those of that kind of volatility do to the potential mass adoption of crypto currencies is that then in the cards. i think we should differentiate between the current crypt occurrences like bitcoin and if human the others and the whole category of stable coins lead right now suggests that a stable coin and i think the underlying principle is that you don't use speculation like bitcoin but you actually do use the value of existing bonds and existing currencies so in libra it will be 50 percent bonds and it would be 50 percent actual you know currencies so that is perceived more stable than bitcoin any theory is i think overall let's not forget that the current monetary system is

also one of volatility and i think it's the question of how sensibly we manage a basket that would provide more stability than bitcoin an ether and how it builds on existing systems then i mean that's what i'm getting from what you're saying thank you very much that was very interesting katrina the c.e.o. of immutable insight there for us thank you very much interim much now to some of the other global business stories making news. the former head of the bank and estonia i've already has been found dead initial reports point to suicide it was part of the ongoing investigation into an alleged money laundering scheme and investigators allege that donz that funneled some 200000000000 euros in illicit funds through its tiny a stone and branch during re is 10 year. germany has had its biggest tech i.p.o. in 2 decades team viewer which makes a video conferencing and rim or remote working software went public in frankfurt earning investors billions in the process the company raised over 2200000000 euros
