light in africa. hello i'm kristie want to welcome to news 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. with an average age of just 16 uganda has the world's a 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 while president will save any mission he dismissed as race wind posed 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 i mean. by.

preparing for a performance for uganda's president yoweri museveni market. is rehearsing. the act is still has a day job was a new late there's a committed presidential advisor and get to affairs you were not. present in 70 and so in real manocchio. in a ghetto. and work for the people to bring them to bring them in a government of program to get to use them. until they fill out a man was a friend of bobby one real name robot child the musician who is trying to unseat president most of any in the 2021 elections. they do or enjoy more than a decade of successfully making music together. but just doesn't

trust he's from a band meant to lead the nation so butcher man is backing was 70. i can't be so sure about what we were and in one was 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 even went to the recording studios himself i have some say that this time getting up close to artists is a direct attack strategy on his new pop stop political point. but as most 70 florence's new musical roots will be winds not tired of releasing music that slams his government. through his music ing to people about the goings on in the current state politically and other ways the

ease 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 star pauly make has a radius started to divide the fund but some are wary 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 to eat he's doing. what. training. could 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. as the presidential elections draw. for more on uganda's musical politics i'm joined by ugandan human rights advocate and lawyer nicholas will feel he has defended in some of his cases welcome to africa mr o.p.o. so you have 2 artists with a very similar profile pitting against each other this looks like pure genius on the part of president xi 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 republic of uganda do not have the profile and do not have this teacher of mr de wine. and his colleagues

not people as highly regarded as babu and don't have the political argument and babu and hans right now and has grown in leaps and bounds from being there and musician financial a political leader ok but i mean you have defended the wind 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 oldfield. 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 get to meet questions but the problem of this country sort of problem of this country place a problem of how we transition from what is now seen as an autocratic leadership to a more democratic leadership when we were in speaks to the poor people they understand him he was an aide to them and in that sense he's got

a lot of support across the country. right out about it now has to 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 bobbsey white to raise his profile as a musician. or maybe one husband just been a musician his music haven't just been about music this center of fema these music over the last 10 years in uganda has been a theme of social justice a few 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 who are his music doesn't play in clubs but doesn't play on radio has much as any other people's songs do but his songs strike to the heart of the problem of the devil of

this country for the right time but as he's all right mr bill i am as i'm sorry we'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 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 taking away from another credible opposition candidates who could potentially deliver on the part of being a serious president option for ugandans. i think of the buffalo want to qualify 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 of the media but he's a legitimate 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

he's a broad dam on he requires some refining 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 and you don't have to. 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 every day life in africa you're about to meet the guy who's done something about that. you know hello my name's uplevel i'm 22 years old and i'm studying computer graphic design i created the project is a quality 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 african culture

masks languages and dance. along. from the beginning i wanted to promote mass because even if we evolve and we develop we shouldn't forget our traditional african culture it's part of us. and. i take my inspiration from everyday life from what i know personally. and i research on google about african countries where i've never been. like gaba it's a dish that you find on the streets of abidjan. it's made from. cassava grains with fish. you eat it on the street and people love it because it suits you quickly it's cheap and it tastes good too. but i prefer food it's a dish that fills you up a bit more it's based on plan time bananas with patrick. i

designed $365.00 emerges one for each day of the year. saying we have in ivory coast which goes like you saw that didn't you you usually say it when you want to warn someone about the negative consequences of his actions might have. and then when the guy realizes that what you told him was true. and he comes back and you say to him well i want to. really knew. i'd like people to contact me on instagram or by email to send me their ideas so that i can develop the project. out of more than $300.00 emergencies there are at least $200.00 that only relate to west africa. because that's my experience and

that's what i know best. i'd like to put a sense suggests to me so that i can develop more emerges that represent other parts of africa. i'll send him some ideas from the south hey you can download the white eulogies from the app store or google play still that is a canal from deja news africa you can catch while stories on our website and facebook page will leave you now with these fictious some of the 365 african ladies that ok hold has already come up with together with some imagined realize counterparts till next time i pass.
