problem in the process. of africa. 60 minutes. and on demand. language courses. video and audio. w.b. using. this as news africa coming up on the program what would you rather when. all foreign made governments work is in kenya being directed to where outfits to boost the country's one apartment industry. also coming out. going to run these fast as well black caps and seems relaxed ahead of something these wacom finals how much have things changed since nelson mandela one of the cops to the 9 to 95

springbok steve. i'm eddie michael jr you're welcome to the program government stuff in kenya have been directed to where locally made outfits on fridays on public holidays it's meant to boost the kenyan manufacturing industry. says so-called big 4 agenda the 2 of you hit the streets of nairobi and it looks like it will take more than a directive to get things going. again david has been a tailor for 20 years nairobi's kenyatta market has been his retail home for 12 of those years in this shop selling african garments. no to go on his office on the tail yeah they do appreciates that people cousy his fabric and garment shop. and

now the kenyan government are banking on a resurgent appreciation for african attire to boost the manufacturing industry and create jobs just the president's directive that all public servants wear locally made clothes on fridays and on public holidays on the streets of nairobi the directive has gotten a mixed reception. it's still more natural and when you don't listen that it's because a lot of african fabrics are made from platinum and i stress mine is a mix of them and cotton and the african print and then color says this it's its color as a wallet in which i was a better place yes i kid you look again that's innovative you'll get killed for that you create jobs probably apply and if. it was looks look in my book. i'm not shave. my 2nd had we had.

i like it there we may just. be very into a. nuclear you know and with people sticking to their preferences like buying 2nd hand clothes do the words of the president's directive actually really have an impact ok but might not be money. for you what the truth is even if someone has a locally made outfit it may not be made of locally manufactured material. fabrics from. china and. the long time ago we still have a back to put to use to make the best fabric. and then fortunately it's gone and you know for the best faith as we used to be that big. you know plain.

the president's directive for government workers to wear locally made clothes on fridays is not the 1st of its kind in kenya previous governments have tried something similar but taylor david acoustic asks why wait for a directive from the government and why wait for friday to wear kenyan made brands start on monday and wear them through friday maybe even through sunday. joining me now is a keen you don't go from kenya she's a fashion designer and i'm busted on for the friday away initiative on the chair of kenya fashion council. thanks for your time now why is it so important to move kenya where. i think this is something that we've done as a fashion industry for a long time and quite some time that it hasn't really been like announced officially with the government then with the president to say that you officially need to wear an african an outfit made. on fridays and we had

a discussion about 2 years ago as fashion design as. a meeting that we had together and see we need to speak with one voice on one of the things the one of the outcomes of the meeting work that we need to start selling products and initiated the fashion fridays we have been running on for quite some time about 23 as right now and for the president to announce that all the government officials are going to wear a local produce outfit every friday i think that's a must for us ok now this is not the 1st i asked about it right it's previous governments have made such directives before it didn't really work so what makes you believe this will work. i think this is going to to walk because there's already a lot of uptake for not clearly produced products. and starting with the government even if you look at $10000.00 the government is also taking in the apportioned of

of what's government is taking has to be locally produced so i think because you have the support of the government this time around then even the people working with the government are able to take it seriously because when the president speaks and saves in a form that this has to be done i think people are going to take it very seriously and those fashion designers think it's very very very important for us as an industry because then it's an opportunity for us to keep talking about it and producing i know a lot of people will say design as maybe not affordable as much of it and remember even in the smallest parts of the village there's a woman sitting somewhere doing some thoughts nobody is walking naked clothing is part of the system it's important for everybody to be closer to the prising again will be will be a virus so i think it's a very important thing coming from the president and and also making sure that anyone in the government offices i doing this it's a good direction. just just to be clear one can wear outfits but the material

may not be locally produced how do you address about oh i think even fallen nation right now if you look at the manufacture the fabric model fracture or is that we have available in kenya they may not be able to produce that they're not in the capacity they don't have the capacity to produce the fashionable fabrics that design as it may be used so i many designers have to import fabrics that we are using locally so again for me it still applies because even if you are importing fabrics elsewhere that we are using we are still having it produced the outfit is being produced in kenya and that's a plus for us so it may not be we may argue it's not it's not locally made but i think it is still locally made maybe the. oil is not locally produced by the outfit is produced in. the income is still the huge amount of my decision made in the country ok talking about fits you look good in your i can you don't go kenyan fashion design i am latin knuckle. ride and.

now it's time to separates the men from the boys because on saturday so often i wore low cones with england in the final of the rugby world cup the 6 week long total men's takes place every 4 years this time. ok but you can bet that a great many south africans will be watching including reports out there's a commodity in johannesburg wow i see already in your spring looks as they do so so . what's the mood like ahead of the game the mood is just ecstatic people who are so excited about it is you don't need to know our presidents to know my post is origin just pound to watch the team play from the terraces you can imagine how excited the countries when you go around people already wearing shirts and shorts we've got the i do think makes that the time when their cars just waiting for that much to begin playing why. everyone is just united behind the team and people are

so hip if you go to sports boz they have voted to put big screens where people are going to be watching the games and everybody is so excited and you need to be behind the springboks ok that's what he sounds big hold on a bit it was all come back to you now let's check out the report that previews the big match. c.-a khaleesi is on the brink of history he could become the 1st black captain of south africa's i lift the men's rugby world cup but for the moment he's concentrating solely on beating england not of. much of course if you know you know the most important thing to morrow's making sure that. the team you know it's a special do for the team police it was born just one day before south africa's apartheid laws were officially repealed in 1991 and rugby is the sport which is best helped bring the rainbow nation together no rugby fan can forget former president nelson mandela donning the springboks jersey then

a symbol of white south africa when they won their 1st world cup in 1995. it's a country with a lot of pride in their. identity or suppose. the history of made for the country. created a new opportunity for people in africa and i suppose the spring work is is the. year the tool that which people use as a symbol of hope but south africa underdogs this time under in a confident mood after eddie jones this side knocked out this trailer and fabled holders new zealand. we're just going to get. the great thing for us is that we've now done the preparation we now have done the preparation we're ready for this occasion you know we have spent 4 years getting ready for this occasion that's why the. can be relaxed because we now have done the work the stage

is set for an intriguing final in one of the toughest spots on the planet but only one team can reach that goal. in johannesburg so. police seize the national team's block why is that a big deal. this is a big thing in so the off the cuff because i'll be taken as a privileged sport you find it mostly in those expensive schools where a very few blacks can afford to but then if you remember the 9095 team during monday last time that won the will copy to 100 percent white and the government has been fined by all means to force times that to try and introduce more politically as and the good news is that in the present team that is in japan you have what about 5 players that are going to be playing so that the captain is also blake it is also a shortened that the deficits in bringing that equality between the playoffs and

the white blouse this off and on to 5 blick excited as well that ok for the 1st time to move by black person hoping that ted they'll bring the cup back home ok now there's been allegations of racism in the springboks compound has this effect that general support yes they start to talk about the recent incidents that have happened to nor one of the best play as it been has been it is alleged that to us part of if that assaulted some blake people after some night putting some time in august and this just came up when you was there and there were calls that he should come back to some of that but when you talk to south africans when you talk to those that are following the springboard support does their own behind black and white i've not seen one black we saying i'm not supporting because of these racism incidents maybe they're saying ok this is our team this is the chance for sold off or come let's focus on the game and do when the blast come back we might talk about their resumes today and before you go what's your prediction for the game

obviously the springboks upbringing because of home but you know the england team is also a very good team and therefore to home advantage down there so it's going to be a tough one but with all presidents right there on those days isn't this about black white collar indians behind the team we want to come with come home. thank you for your time. that's a fun hour from d.w. news africa have a good weekend see you next time. that people of the world going for g.w. or facebook and twitter us up to date and in touch follow us. with them how to be done and it goes up because with the highest high you know if i had known that the boat would be that small i never would have gone on the trip but you know i would not have put myself and my parents so much danger to the thought
