victims of this force deportation the t. from there on several homelands is stained with blood. south africa's woes continue to mount the finance minister says the budget deficit is set to hit a 2 decade high shortfall cost for this year has been slashed from $1.00 and a half to just half a percent that we could call me means less money flowing into public coffers bailouts for state owned companies especially utility eskom a straining the government's finances. digital technologies are transforming economies but not in many parts of africa 1st you need the internet it's not existent in most rural areas and then the quality and cost of connections for those lucky ones vary widely you know scope and the international telecommunications union of pushing for universal into that coverage for the confident according to their report africa would need
6:21 pm
a $100000000000.00 injection over the next decade that require governments and telecom industries and institutions and developmental finance part as working together to bring together those funds well that half the funds would have to flow into network operations and maintenance another large chunk into infrastructure and 800000000000 set aside foster information and communications technology skills. let's talk about this with moses acquire as an expert on the take 6 in africa i mention the figures just earlier this idea of a 10 percent boost of internet coverage in africa what sort of effect would that have on economic growth for african nations so what we see is that at the moment we have almost 11 percent of africans in terms of the uses of internet it's globally 11 percent of users actually from africa and 33 percent of
6:22 pm
people that i actually use and internet suite in africa so we see that we're looking at about 3 to 5 percent g.d.p. growth even if we have the growth when it comes to 10 percent of boasts but also i think one very important thing is this costs really motss because as much as you want to boost the internet and interation you also want to make sure that it is affordable and accessible to all and we see that if that also happens i would also increase significantly ok the figures a based on the studies and i'm talking about international groups that want to have . africa but is there a natural plaids so i mean what do you see is that always talk about something called the tip fucked of technology and innovation and policy so it is in the right direction for them to even think about something like this and put some figures and statistics together but what is important is that with the technology coming in and now we're looking at what kind of infrastructure should be there we need to look at the fact that africa is
6:23 pm
a huge continent and most often when it comes to internet connection no it's this undersea 5 of cables that are connected and most often we've seen that around the continent internet penetration is higher when you go into land it is lower so what kind of technology can do can we bring on to the table that would actually allow us of internet so for me definitely technology in terms of the infrastructure we're coming in we're looking at example at the t.v. white space things that would actually bring radio communication much more easier and that's why i believe that the policy is the right and also the fact that i've been thinking about it makes it even more interesting what are some of the other solutions i mean does it mean standing up balloons to give people internet coverage like facebook has talked about i mean i think it all comes down to making sure that there is a universal coverage and universal coverage needs that there should be a lot of innovation yes blues is one of them but then also what kind of radios can we use to actually make sure that its company trades and gets to more of the
6:24 pm
hinterland because again a lot of the technology that developed by the foreign countries or as they developed countries are not having the same challenges like because the continent being so huge so it's important that we look at the fact that we get the technologies and innovations that would actually penetrate and that is why for is the talk about google and microsoft going into the t.v. wide spaces but also what we've seen is that a local africans are actually doing something that is new we've seen the example of brick now coming in making sure there is access even which what we call the mobile access use in the mobile relatives that will be moved. from one bus to the other for. can you give me an example of a country that is getting it right in africa i mean we have very very it really varies as far as the internet goes across the corridor so one thing i would say a good example has been kinda kenya has really puts the externalization as one of their key policies which is very good and we've also seen also like for instance nigerians are doing the same and what we've seen is that as much as they are making
6:25 pm
the access to internet possible they also reforming the infrastructure because even laid off roads you need to make sure that you put all of these things that are necessary interest and i would say that a couple of the african countries have already started looking into the next generation of connectivity the net which is the 5 g. so we see that people are actually going into the decision of making sure that they have the right policies the right infrastructure and innovation is falling through those across thank you very much for coming in thank you very much. well now to some of the other business stories making news us a telling comic a crisis then france's have confirmed they're in talks about a merger to be fit priceless 2nd attempt at a fusion this year out of the comic i pulled out of an agreement with renault. the danish energy agency finally gave its approval for the north stream 2 projects from brands from the country's war because it was the last permit needed for the pipelines which will carry natural gas from russia to the european union. with
