live their long journey to germany's. finance naturalist and explorer. to celebrate some 250. discovery. expedition. there and a very warm welcome i want to camorra and this is the 77 percent i was so far off because you. coming up on today's program. we go to south africa where 25 years after the end of apartheid many young people no longer think to believe in the pol democracy. we

also meet at the talent said group of musicians for south africa and germany will join forces to create. and the japanese i did what i showed us the wrong lead from the. from ethiopia and president sokolow walk saudi to botswana many stubble holyoke and a window across the continent women are rising up through the ranks of quality but it's not always an easy pop when trying to think feel or examine what he. was running for what consular she was threatened and our house was even our top but she didn't let that intimidation stop our. 26 year old to my novel is the youngest water pounds law in zambia visiting a village the young politician is received euphorically she currently re presents

$15000.00 people and those she is part of a minority at the moment she's hopeful that other young women will follow in her footsteps was one of the 4 young men. so that we have to talk about our missions as women. maybe just to. be able to. present yet. to be. * you know some of the critics because we had said yeah 1st arrived here 3 years ago to gain practical experience as a social worker the law course we were impressed with how she engaged with the women and children so they asked her to run in the consulate election but the old west talks against hart from the beginning the other male candidate harvest and even physically threatened her because leadership roles often passed down within the same family some felt that was stealing something that was rightfully theirs

and in the night you'd hear the people from the other party you know going with a megaphone don't vote for this person you're don't vote for this foreign girl you don't even know where she's coming for all she's just a small little gal and she just does it to you as a councillor should not do anything and it was terrible and they would come right through megaphones and throw stones on the roof and. but i said i'm going to win i am going to win because the women really have supported me in this is what why i'm saying that women really vote and they support because they want things to change. almost word to ma go by is situated in the rule ask it of the capitalists during her time as a councillor bloomberg was able to channel extra funds into my goal to kickstart new infrastructure projects she also helped 700 schoolchildren get study loans and

is firmly against child marriage unsurprisingly she's now pretty popular among how constituents well not that we don't know when i feel like i reckon you still have that good and possibly he has a lot of caution news as well and she has an open yeah our problem was he was like i'm a mock up tonight jennifer and in my room we are happy with how we work with the community she is a good young lady and wanted to continue helping even old people like myself. with just my own percent zambia is one of the worst countries when it comes to female representation in local politics although half of the population is under $35.00 it's even harder for young people only 104 parliamentarians 3 percent of this group lawmakers tonally canonical thinks it's time that young people start making their voices heard. what we are seeing now is a stage of young people trying to assume political leadership and i think that is

important for africa because naturally the youths come with. a different kind of energy a different kind of innovation because you see the resistance for setting changes that have kept huge political powers in africa in place for a long time and that can only be change when there is new blood new ideas and pushing that agenda. back in the mango is handing out water canisters but not everyone appreciates the guest for years politicians would give away money as a form of vote buying some of the locals were hoping for more but bloomberg is to mistake that the next generation of leaders want to simply be judged by the size of their wallets. what an inspiring young woman will wish her all the best in how political career still in the region this week's a street debate is in south africa the country has been making headlines over the

past month following away will devastating that awful because we've already addressed the topic of the no 4 bia in a previous history debate you can head over to our you tube channel to watch the full version and to add your comments. but today we want to talk about why so many young self offical didn't want in these years general election in far overall war to turn out was on the fix to fix or fent the westfields the 4th democratic election was held in 1994. he asked a group of young people in cape town why they didn't stand out toward the fear. 25 years ago south africa went to the polls for their 1st democratic elections and there was euphoria felt across the continent and beyond a quarter of a century later though that enthusiasm for civic duty seems to have fizzled young

people are either not registering or showing up to the polls and we want to find out why and i have a really cool group of people to help me answer that question and will begin with divine he actually lives in this area and you say that voting not for you not for me because basically ever since 1904 up until now we've been promised a lot of things and it's so used this that we've been pointing fingers at every party saying that we want this we want that but unfortunately nothing has been devalued we've lost interest because what we've been wanting we've been asking ever since our grandfathers and mothers i mean so i've been dealing with ok so let me go to another person who says that voting is not really her cup of tea a kid who met seem why is it that going to the polls to the ballots is something you're not interested to be honest and quite frankly i just feel like women and parties and i feel politics in itself south african politics it's not politics

around the world or not in sectional for me my silence is my voice to be honest and so i feel like there's a party that will represent me and my needs and the needs of people like me then i won't vote pressure. has a sort of similar view saying that you are voting but not voting for someone but rather against explain this to me these past elections i had to think strategically or as i live in the western cape and has voted against the kind of green party but i wasn't really convinced of a particular party and because i think that they need to be a multiplicity of kind of voices in parliament but in terms of who i'm really convinced of and there hasn't been anyone really so let me come to this low who is actually representing the e f f which is an opposition party here quite young how does it make you feel when you hear people here say the parties are not representative of me they're only thinking about themselves they're not doing it it's an odd 20 years of democratic

dispensation and throughout there's nothing to show at least a structural level particularly question of young people the 99 to 4 story is a nice story it's a nice dream that you know our fathers over the summer have told us but for me to vote what i can pay for school fees doesn't matter for me to vote but i'm employed what does that mean for me here for for really is born out of these frustrations that it made it might be borne out of this frustrations but clearly they still a disconnect because divine here is saying i don't care what you stand for i'm still not going to vote of course it's not it was not ever going to be an overnight project but if you really look at the real constituency that if it isn't able to tap into they've been able to tap into a particular constituency amongst young people there is why more and more young people are starting to realise that your faith is in fact an organization that speaks to our problems as usual this politician right here sounds like he's

campaigning on d w but let me ask how effective are narratives like this for the people behind you is it actually going to effect change so that africa is a country that was deliberately and that developed so part of it a very developed in part of it and. developed and it's going to take a long time for that to be undone we're looking i mean look at this place that we are now if you look across the road you'll see that people are living in really magnificent moves and houses with amazing ocean views and yet you know the people that are not even 5 kilometers away from them are living in abject poverty i want to bring in the people who are listening from the back and i just want to ask a simple question how many of you voted in the last election just raise your hands . just one person how many of you did not vote. wow so we've been talking about young people not voting and majority of those people behind save for one did not vote how does that make you feel. so much head

by. distanced themselves from the voice the only voice is no longer true storms and bending. is to save a mandate and to do a lot on the core media issues that i think in our daily lives now we come to. you all saying that your party is offering something fresh to you d.m. that this is a no corrupt potsie this is the party of the future do you think the people here are listening to you believe that the mistake we made was that we did not communicate in a manner that resonates with young people in particular but also to. issues that face young people hence you have a number of young people who haven't voted or they don't see any value in voting because that is that make you feel by the way as a parliamentarian feel like a failure as a leader remember. exactly the same people who should be targeted in what is also

important to make people understand that there is a lot of people have decided not to vote simply because. conditions so let me ask you when there was elections was what their campaigns here in this area were you seeing a lot of politicians. yes you did and have you have you seen them back since the election why do you think this. i mean there you only see the politicians they're very visible when. there's of an election taking place but once that is done and they've taken the votes then boom they're gone that is why most young people like we just don't go it's mostly like our granny our mothers because they still have the let's vote for mandela but mandela. is gone long gone so i want to come back to precious have been quiet for a while looking forward what do you think needs to happen not just in south africa

but the entire continent of africa for young people to be more engaged in their civic duty because whether we like it or hard one of the best ways to voice our opinions i think it's important that we know what it means right if we live in a democracy and how we can engage in how we can hold our leaders accountable bethink also there needs to be you know we need political parties and leaders need to stop to can i sing and people and take them seriously let me come back to define who we started with i want to close with you what would it take for you to vote in the next election in order for south africa to be the south that the south africa that we wanted to be everyone should be involved if one should participate in making this place a better place thank you so much for your views and that's a fantastic place to end this discussion a multiplicity of voices is required not just in government but also for the people who have been represented it's been a very insightful conversation happening right here in cape town but really it could have been in any corner of africa because the issues brought up here today are really fast spread across africa thank you for watching.

what. they're just some of the reasons why people are becoming disillusioned with whitey. but should we young people make sure their voices are being heard especially if they want things to change for the better what do you think write to us at 77 that dot com and we will get back to you for our next report we are staying in south africa but the style want to a much happier note with a mix of more don't solve african b. send classic or european music these musicians are creating to be a very only sound let's take a leaf. to move to a cappella groups one project the 6 gentlefolk lists from the groups and the 6 some

of the freaking counterparts from just 6 have come together in johannesburg to prepare has for 2 concerts. it's amazing how both those different worlds are coming together and working as one. i think that the music and the opportunity to sing together really unites us. zoe menses i'm shies. together they've created a mix of modern african sounds this medieval europe and music. after only one day of rehearsals they're performing in front of an audience at a music school in soweto south africa's largest township. can you believe that we just did that yesterday. for the 1st time. for c.l. or his band name comes from the swedish word for soul the successful performers and then from cystic audience great welcome to johannesburg. was.

compose a piece for an orchestra and for police i think it will be great for not often to hear. zemaitis national youth orchestra is also a toy in south africa given the history of the tour vocalists lets us to try a new piece. separate welcomes the opportunity. to work with such a young team who bring a different feel to the music. i mean i'm a very young guy i'm 20 years old now and i believe that if anything since i have the kids of composing i should be reflecting the times of today and it's our duty as composers to to really put a current feel of what we experience as young people. competition tells the story of a baker and his business. he hopes to use his music to draw attention to them some
