hello i'm christie want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along he's excellent bobbie why is 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 tweeted that this is exceedingly how being dedicating this recognition to the young people off uganda especially 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. africa. is here with me for more on that inaugural estate on 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 eureka here she is

one who has been in the news lately she has got 2 prominent films out of the portfolio the 1st is put aside 5 in the 2nd this colder a freaky there are a few key was in the news because it's a film about 2 girls or 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 and 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 look in our 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 we had and 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 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 attitude the list that we used to just the 100 most influential people for these are people who are on the scene as shaping the future of their fields and they've come up in unconventional less conventional ways than the usual time 100 power people in a 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've seen in foreign film and 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 stuff and proud of all of them for making the cats that's the date of the

africans told me a logical thank you. at the 1st demonstration in cannot create at the city guineans all counting that there are a month of protests the president. to step down next year with the 2nd and final 5 expires but he has refused to rule out running again and aussies governments to look into drafting a new constitution. a funeral procession for victims killed mourners and police clash 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. 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 have figures that between generally 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 that i mean new since 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 that demonstration in sync. any can sometimes turn violent these are to do 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 feared xenophobic attacks now since last month there's been a group camped outside the un h t r's offices in the capital pretoria business or south african president was that condemning the attacks in september no amount of anger and frustration and grievance can justify such acts of wanton destruction and criminality they can be no excuse for the attacks on the homes and businesses of foreign nationals just as they can be no excuse

whatsoever for their not for bia or any form of intolerance all right well it's him basically is a south african political analyst he's also a brother to the country's former president i will take you mr beck it's lovely to have you released as the we're hearing the south african president condemning the attacks on foreign nationals in south africa something that made headlines across the continent you recently wrote an opinion piece and you say that it comes down to you chordates directionless political elite in every cell 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 them or the like are not managed properly because of this leg of their addiction right they're not very clear about what's out there for girls national interests and how they should protect them so those meant by the lack of direction ok so speaking off the political elites you became a very critical at all you were very critical of the agency by this presidency and of jacob zuma and i think i recall you actually say questioning the relevance of policies 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 all senate well the a.n.c. is like many other liberation movements enough because. they 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. and saw so so this is one of the problems we have but just insult offered but enough are good as a whole is that the liberation potties. don't have a key right on hollow to change the economic system the ruling elites 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 where the electorate lacks an opposition fallback in the case of south africa if you are talking to a black south african if it's not the a.n.c. who should they feel full. well the fate of the 200 to go red just really to go but is in southern africa so the liberty to vote for it one of those 2 of those 200

political party doesn't it's 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 think is leaving the posse 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 the i don't think that's correct if you look for example it's zimbabwe or them via let me give you a better example of zombie of 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 7 policeman and so it's not correct to say they have no opposition to the enough because i must interrupt you because there's one thing i want to i want to get at

we still talk about africa be one of the world's most unequal societies today quickly do you think that taking land from white people to give it to black people is the only way to address this equalities no no definitely one day if it weren't address the quality of those love for taking land from what from am giving it to be is not a solution to suffer because the meek while it. would have spent for ever you and me here discussing the economic history of the political you still follow for what south africa is a capitalist society and in a cup it was society small groups of capital is whether they're black or white own land own millions of production one percent of the english population or all the land in the. if you distribute to that land to the 70000000 english people you'll get a little garden. but it will not be

a solution to your agriculture right i hear you loud and can i wish we had bought time but that is all we can do for today thank you very much for coming on to africa so pleasant it's great to be and that is the fun not that as always you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook makes 5 it's 5. point strong opinions clear positions international perspectives put country witnessing often violent protests in countless countries around the world people talking about a new global political awakening the world to the process is happening common where will the angry uprisings meet us going down to the point shortly.
