in africa. hello i'm pristine when the welcome to africa it's good to have you along a wave off autists joining politics has inspired hope in the youth of uganda the best example is this guy bobby white since he became a member of parliament 3 years ago he's become a serious contender to longtime president you where with an average age of just 16 uganda has the world's 2nd youngest population that's too young to vote but it's obvious that the youth make up a sizable chunk of the electorate to be won over now while president will save any mission he dismissed as race why imposed he's come back with a counter strategy as you'll see from our 1st report it comes down to who really rules the ghetto.

trust his former band mate to lead the nation so butcher mine is backing with 70. i can't be so sure about what we wind in one with a politician no. i can't support these ideas and i never thing i and the president was 70 has a record of using music to mobilize supporters he even went to the recording studios himself i some say that this time getting up close to artists is a direct attack strategy on his new pop stop political point. but as much 70 florence's new musical roots will be winds not tired of releasing music that slams this government. through his music ng to people about the goings on the current state politically and otherwise the aims
6:34 pm
that our government is doing but also what people can do as citizens what they can do to contribute to the betterment of things and he's been doing that through music and so this city alone since this thing is very powerful. pop stop olomouc has a radio started to divide the fun this summer where of choosing trucks by their political affiliations. i can't follow him in his new career of politics but i love his music. if he wants to do something let him do it he's doing. what is. trying. to be what. comes to political parties and where the musician sings for the ruling party or the others it does not affect me because that's their choice i can't be stopped from supporting my candidate. but when the music is.

being one of the youngest populations in the world issues like health care. jobs are key as the presidential elections draw. for more on uganda's musical politics i'm joined by ugandan human rights advocate and lawyer nicholas will peel he has defended in some of his cases welcome to africa you have 2 artists with a very similar profile pissing against each other this looks like pure genius on the part of president you where was 70 but is your client bobby why worried about the challenge coming through from which a man. not in a one bid because the musicians. people that are being put together by the president of the public of uganda do not have the profile and do not have this picture of mr bobby wine. and his colleagues are
6:36 pm
not people who are highly regarded as bobby one i don't have the political argument and bobby one has right now and of growing in leaps and bounds from being a musician and i'm still a political leader ok but i mean you have defended bobby white in some of these cases and of course from your perspective he's rights have been abused but does that make him presidential material mr peel. it is true the brewer he's a political novice he's only been a member of parliament for just under 3 years and so people are right to question whether he's ready to lead this country and not be a legitimate question but the problem of this country is not a problem of poorly this country place a problem of how we transition from what is now seen as an autocratic leadership to a more democratic leadership but we were in speaks to the poor people they understand him he was an aide to them and in that sense he's got
6:37 pm
a lot of support across the country. road damn right out about it now so come in they still feel i mean you say you've resonates with people sure he does he's a musician a lot of people in uganda love his music in fact we've just played a reporter we heard some of his supporters say we love him as a musician we don't necessarily see him as somebody who could lead the country as a president i mean is this in some way a way for mr bobby white to raise his profile as a musician. or maybe one hasn't just been a musician his music haven't just been about music this center theme of his music over the last 10 years in uganda has been a theme of social justice a theme of human rights if you move fighting poverty it is because of the content of his music that he has become as popular not the quality of his music more ruins music doesn't play in clubs or doesn't play on radio has my fancy other people's songs do but his songs strike to the heart of the problem of the devil of this
6:38 pm
country for the right time but he's a great musical because i am as i'm straight you're running out of time but i still want to push you on this you've told us about the content of his music and indeed you know this is somebody who has spoken out against the injustices in ugandan society but all ugandans being cheated and i don't want to say this to you i mean is it a scenario where you potentially have missed of all the why and taking away from an ad that credible opposition candidates who could potentially deliver on the part of being a serious president option for ugandans. i think of the buffer want to qualify how the head of state in this country is a very very low bar. and just like anybody in this country qualifies to contest for president we might question his command as the media but he's a different the qualified to be president of this country whether he would make a good president or not is really up to the populace to decide but i agree with you
6:39 pm
he's abroad dam on he requires some refinement he will require some work to be done around him for him to be the leader that all of us expect him to be. nicholas appeal in kampala thank you you're welcome thank you very much for having me. now. have changed the way we communicate sometimes just an image with no words gets the message across pretty much always reflects everyday life in africa to meet the guy who's done something about that. hello my name's uplevel i'm 22 years old and i'm studying computer graphic design i created the projects is a quietly african emerges. the idea came about because i wanted to design masks so. nowadays we live in a modern way. and we tend to neglect the traditional aspects of our african culture
