very curious you're watching the news from berlin for the latest you can follow us on twitter at the news. i'm jared greenberg.

after the fall of the berlin november 9th. this is news africa coming up on the program what would you rather when. all foreign made governments work is in kenya how can direct that's a way. to boost the country's been a factor in investing. also coming out. soft got a right nice fast black ops in seems relaxed ahead of some of these world cup final . things changed since nelson mandela was the captain and 9095 springbok steve.

i'm eddie michael jr you're welcome to the program government stuff in kenya have been directed to where locally made out of beds on fridays on public holidays it's meant to boost the kenyan manufacturing industry a spot of. says so-called make for agenda 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 whisky has now to go on as well for connotations they do appreciate koku z. 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 thus 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 next era when when you don't listen to it it's because a lot of african puppets are made from platinum and i see mine is a mix of de mint and cotton and african print and then color this is just it's it's. a better place just like a gal looking at that's in the way to be able to get killed for that you create jobs for the public supply and. the way we look looking my clothes i. have launched. my sick kid had we had a. guy like that we dressed. it was

a v 3 and only. you. know and with people sticking to their preferences like buying 2nd hand clothes do the words of the president a directive actually really have an impact ok by wads it 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. we bought the fabric it's probably. changed now into. the long time ago we still have that to put to use to make the best that week. and then fortunately it's gone to the best think that we used to put up that we didn't make our clothes look like. 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 tailored david o.

could see 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 as i can you are doing well from kenya she's a fashion designer and i'm boss of africa friday the way initiative and the chair of kenya fashion council i can you thanks for your time now why is it so important to modes can you nowhere. i think this is something that we've done as a fashion industry for a long time and for quite some time but it hasn't really been announced officially with the government then with the president to say that you officially need to wear an african. outfit made locally 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 which has 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 you produced outfit every friday i think that's a lot for us ok now this is not the 1st i actually got 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 we close is already a lot of uptake for locally produced products. and starting with the government even if you look at $10000.00 the government is also taking in there's a apportioned of over what 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 fund that this has to be done i think people are going to take it very seriously and grow as a fashion design is i 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 the uprising again will be will be virus so it's i think it's a very important thing coming from the president and and also making sure that when the government offices are doing this it's a good direction yeah exactly just just to be clear one can wear out the material be not be produced how do you address that. i think even fall

a nation right now if you look at the money the fabric motherfucker is that we have available in kenya they may not be able to produce that they're not in the capacity or 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 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 elf which is produced in. the income you see in the huge amounts of my decision made in the country yes ok talk about fits you look good in your i can you don't go kenyan fashion design i am laughing knuckle. ride and. now it's time to separates the men from the boys because on saturday set off

a guy warlock holmes 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 springboks 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 and i'm opposed to these origin just pound to watch the team play from the terraces you can imagine how excited the countries when you go around people are already waiting for kids and they asked for 3 gandhi i do think it 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 speak 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 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 world cup but for the moment he's concentrating solely on beating england no of. much of course is the most important thing to morrows 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 has best help to 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. country

with a lot of pride in their. identity earth. the history before i've made for the country. created a new opportunity for people in africa and i suppose the spring work is is the. you know the tool which people use as a symbol of hope but south africa underdogs this time england are in a confident mood after eddie jones the side knocked out just really fabled holders new zealand. we just want to get them play the great thing for us is that we've now done the preparation we now have done the preparation already for this occasion you know we have spent 4 years getting ready for this occasion so that's why the players can be relaxed 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.

by our reporter out there's a commodity in johannesburg so. police seize the national team's block and why is that a big deal. this is a big thing in so the off the cuff because i'll be taken as a privilege to sport you find it mostly in those expensive schools where a very few blacks can afford to put that 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. that to try and introduce more politically as 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 they have visited us in bringing that equality between the playoffs and the white blouse this fall and also for blick excited as well that ok for the 1st time to move by

a black person hoping that they'll bring the comp 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 it group that assaulted some people after some night putting some time in august and this just came up when he 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 a following to springboard support does their own behind black and white of not seem want like we saying i'm not supporting because of these racism incidents maybe they are saying ok this is our team this is the chance for south africa 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 becomes home but you know the england team is

also a very good team and therefore to home advantage down this all is going to be a tough one but with all presidents right there on those days isn't this a tough play quite kind of indians behind the team we want to come with come home. thank you for your time. that's it for now from v.w. news africa have a good weekend see you next time. exploring the range and. jellies most long distance hiking trail. it's going to be exhausting it made me my shoes it will look like this. this is in style 1170 kilometer trail unspoilt nature. on t.w. . welcome to the foot is the gate here for ditto for
