talk about what's happening in their lives i became a journalist to be a storyteller and i always want to find those real authentic stories from everyday people who have something to share. with all the time i spent at the salon i know good quality here when i see it and a good story when i hear it. my name is elizabeth and i work at sea don't. know. everything but. this is the news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes the rising stars shaping the future of bayfield the 1st ever time in the next 100 most influential people list is out about the africans who made the cut. and the land the foreigners off leaving south africa in focus one of the country's most recognized

analysts sits at the table with me. hello i'm christine want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along he's excellent. humbled to quote the man himself the pop star turned politician has just been named as part of time magazine's next 100 most influential people up and coming influences to watch wind said that this is exceedingly dedicating this recognition to the young people off uganda is specially the ghetto youth may this be a reminder and encouragement that you're not what your detractors say you are you all what you choose to be. the deadly africa tony let it all is here with me for more on that inaugural estate told me so who else made the list there are 8 other

africans on this list or highlight a few 1st the kenyan filmmaker and writer when reka here she is one who has been in the news lately she has got 2 prominent films out of portfolio the 1st of poems the aside 5 in the 2nd is colder a freaky there are a few he was in the news because it's a film about 2 girls all young women who fall in love in a homophobic society and that raised a lot of eyebrows in kenya because it even though this film did well and was premiered at cannes film festival in 2018 it was banned back home in kenya and she's actually sued the government for banning this film so that's currently in court because of her raising awareness about the issue about discrimination and homophobia in kenya that's one of the reasons why she has been recognized now another issue our phones our computers they are learning more about us they're

getting smarter and they can for example tell who we are by looking off faces and one of those problems though that comes up is with certain people they don't get identified very easily and that here comes in the 2nd person where dent if i may that is joy. sorry she is again an american scientist is identifying bias in algorithms and she's saying that there are certain issues within the system for example certain faces like black women are unlikely to be as accurately identified as certain people like white men and she's doing more to expose that and make sure that companies the big companies you know the microsoft and i.b.m. and and those do more. more in their research because the machines do what you tell them to do and writing do more research to get certain types of people women and

ethnic minorities recognized by these machines. and then the 3rd is shown or show will be a nigerian act. who's been calling for more support for rape victims across the country and also better legislation to protect them while these are incredible people but tell me this is the 1st time as we've mentioned that we're getting this this what makes it different to that list that we used to just the 100 most influential people for these are people who are the seen as shaping the future of their fields and they've come up in unconventional less conventional ways than the usual time 100 power people you know world leaders and world entertainers and these are people who are coming up in a different way who are being recognized for their new way of getting to the top and being recognized in their various fields so we're seeing in foreign film in fashion in advocates see even in politics as well but they're coming up not the traditional way and that's why they've been recognized excellent well that's

exciting stephan proud of all of them for making the cuts that's the date of the africa's told me a logical thank you. the 1st demonstrators fell in cannot create and at the city's guineans all counting the day it's off for a month of protests the president there alpha condé is due to step down next year with his 2nd and final 5 year to expire but he has refused to rule out running again and aussies government should look into drafting a new constitution. a funeral procession for victims killed mourners and police clashed again yet more deaths just one incident in a month of violence anti-government protesters have been taking to the streets in guinea's capital conakry confronted by security forces 16 young people dead since demonstrations began last month says the anti-government f n d c movement done with no clear but we're here to express our anger at the fact

that 16 year olds have been shot dead in their backyards. we're here to express our anger because canadians must have the right in 29000 to express themselves without being shot in cold blood. test demonstrations have shown that this is possible so there was a deliberate desire to kill people to frighten them to put a wall of silence over guinea the protests stem from fears that incumbent president alpha condé wants to change the constitution to allow him a 3rd term in office under the current rules only adopted in 2010 his current term would be his last condo's government crackdown on dissent has international observers alarmed we don't actually know that between dinner 2015 and october 2900 we have counted more than 70 people who have died in the context of demonstrations that's according to testimony as we have received but also the i mean missions we found on the scene. the security forces are involved in at least 59 of these deaths

this is a very significant number even though we know the demonstrations and give me can sometimes turn violent that is acted you don't with guineas elections set for 2020 amnesty international has warned of mounting human rights violations and attacks on dissenting voices committed by security forces. now african refugees in south africa have been demanding to be moved to other countries because they feel it's in a fullback attacks now since last month there's been a group camped outside the u.n.h.c.r. as offices in the capital pretoria business the south african president condemning the attacks in september no amount of anger and frustration and grievance can justify such acts off wanton destruction and criminality. there can be no excuse for the attacks on

the homes and businesses or foreign nationals just as they can be no excuse whatsoever for xenophobia or any form of intolerance all right well it's in baby is a south african political analyst he's also a brother to the country's former president i would make a mistake it's lovely to have you really as the we're hearing the south african president condemning the the attacks on foreign nationals in south africa something that made headlines across the continent you recently wrote an opinion piece and you said it comes down to you called it's directionless political elite in operation that well what i was referring to was in our relations policy relations between south africa and the rest of africa. the political elite which include the president you've just seen they really have no direction as to what kind of relationship they want south africa to have with the rest of. so

a whole lot of issues that should be monies properly like immigration like the more those like i'm not monies properly because of this lack of direction right there not very clear about what's out there for girls national interests and the how they should protect them so those but what i meant by the lack of barracks ok so speaking off the political elites and you became a very critical or you a very critical for agency postville by this presidency under jacob zuma and i think i recall you actually say questioning the relevance off from politics i wonder what your thinking is today do you think the a.n.c. still relevant to take south africa forward and if not what what is the also in it well there is see is like many other liberation movements enough are. they for. fought against colonialism and i gave the party. but they're not very

good to governing the country afterwards and they are no different from other liberation movements in the rest of the continent in a gun in zambia. yet and so or so so this is one of the problems we have not just in south africa but enough for good as a whole is that the liberation parties don't have a clear right on how to change the comic system that the caribbean list put in place and that's what's at the bottom of the problem we have so i hear you but but do we also not have a problem on the continent way the electorate lacks an opposition fallback and in the case of south africa if you're talking to a black south african if it's not the a.n.c. who should they feel full. well the 200 to go read just the bullet to go but in southern france of the liberty to do one of those 2 of those 200 political

parties it doesn't it speaks upon that there is that that there is no real credible opposition i mean just recently in south africa they've been issues with the main opposition party elements of racism senior black faith is leaving the party it's insinuating that racism was behind all of that doesn't it just goes to show that in as much as we criticize the liberation movements they already little else it is for people to choose from i don't thin the us corot if you look for example it zimbabwe or zombie let me give you a better example of zambia the opposition party movement for multiparty democracy was. in zambia mainly by the trade unions but by other players it won an open election and it defeated the long serving political and poland it's not to say there are no opposition parties the enough because i must interrupt

here because there's one thing i want to i want to get we still talk about i have to be one of the world's most unequal societies today quickly do you think that taking land from white people and give it to black people is the only way to trace this inequalities no no definitely one day if it wouldn't address the qualities of love for taking land from want from a and giving it to be is not a solution to suffer because the new quality the we can spend for ever you and me here discussing the economic history of the political you still follow for what suffered as a cop atlas and in a couple of society small groups of capital is whether they're black or white. and own means of production one percent of the english population own all the land in the. if you distributed that land to the 70000000 english people you'll get

a little god. but to be a solution to your agriculture right i hear you loud and can i wish we had both time but that is all we can do for say minutes and bake a thank you very much for coming on africa is the pleasantest great. and that is the canal from data that is as always you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook it still makes time it's time i. can inspire. people. to go in africa sometimes to write. join them as they set out to save the environment learn from one another work together for a better future. many hugs to you all for tuning in. w.
