he's the one behind the wheel now in a statement south africa's president said we've lost a pioneer a trailblazer and a man of extraordinary fortitude who paved the way for the racial transformation off the south african economy we took our cameras to a more insulated one of the biggest shopping complexes in south africa built by a poignant and named people they told us what he meant to them. he is a profound when we liberate people not just in business but liberated us into thinking and looking forward. and striving is right now not only does he have a moral name that just shows the insights of. he was a person you know very inspirational very said most. even myself or maybe because today i'm so surprised he comes from there was coming from if you know our

president is coming from limpopo we lost our way here. we've invited him and michelle but to talk about richard my poignant mr is also one of south africa's most successful black entrepreneurs and the former mayor of johannesburg la come to africa mr. ductile a poignant thrived in business at a time when black south africans were oppressed how did he do this. well loving. it is story that really fascinated me as i was growing up and took a decision in the age of 22 but obviously before that as i was growing up this it is so great because i was born and raised in a village and not in a month scarlet witch is that it is not a petroleum but i've got lots of a 1000000 so which is why i used to he said so which you in this main use teens by i mean as you grew up seeing one day i want to really be like those men and age of

22 i decided to take you to the question of decision to following these for step has been and i call on who believe in hardware one of a 1000000 men and something growing up it wasn't just the mumbling it was a reach had met in modern them up when we chatting for me something that resonated with me right with a doubt realized my life they people want to succeed in business you need of strong family and sustainable family back home and who was that kind of person and i think one of the each. take that they've discovered with him or to know him he's a man who's not afraid of fatemeh wheaties that it's a weakness of major job that people that white people cannot really going to business because they are afraid to feel richard my point that individual who has they always wanted to change the world and also believed in that occasion very strongly believed in a patient and a member of. a few years ago he called me at his house to inform me of.

the technical college that he wanted to fund the and study in south africa to compensate him right away you have to really get the technical experience unfortunately i'm sure you must have died there and had passed and because they had the project never to call because of government and not to really come into the ninety's and he wanted to put these all in this and this history must have a what do you think he's like a simple being in south africa. well i think i can i'm one of his products obviously unbeknown to him at the time i mean he's almost 40 is my senior but he played a role in order to produce another successful legend upbringing in south africa despite the odds that we're facing at the time because he loved most of us conducting is of the seventy's and eighty's determined to really make it against

the government which was it was illegal for us as blacks is business men and women to start businesses out of. some of the star wars of big business in this country we we could do to them all right i am who i am today is such as it was meant because of the role that they set me up when you have played in that it without his knowledge right i want to ask you this i mean we're obviously talking about him going down in the books as a trailblazer. to you and the other stalwarts that you are referring to but i want to get your assessment as to do you think it is easy it's a day for black south africans to aspire to what un mistime a point to have become is it easier or more difficult for them today. no it is unfortunately more difficult if not impossible nothing you know and between the 7th of april 99 to 4 we know when 2 for one of the inspiration behind this and the excitement was there not

a lot for the vehicle was going to see an explosion of blood. unfortunately the government just do it literally disseminated destroyed like businesses coming out with political patronage coming out with labor more as they feed business opened our borders to everyone most of the from coming in for coming from all over the world counterfeit goods been brought into the country unfortunately business has been really destroyed the road to being business to a large extent people who are politically connected people operate on the basis of political britain is which is very unfortunate because such business isn't look sustainable all right that is south africa's home and mesha talking about the late richard poignant thank you mr michel thank you very much i appreciate the opportunity. the next story isn't

kenya where 3 americans were killed in an attack on an airfield in the coastal region of militants from the extremist group stormed the man debate if field in on sunday these pictures support to show the fiery off to mark off the attack on the facility which is used by u.s. and kenyan forces al-shabaab has links to al qaeda and is headquartered in neighboring somalia it's the group's 1st assault on u.s. forces inside kenya. for more on this i'm joined by moody thing will take up from the international crisis group peace they project director for the horn of africa welcome to the africa why did it target the kenyan if failed. i think ultrabook had 2 principle the last of course we know that they try to project strength within somalia this would have been sending a message to both the government in somalia and also support that it remains

a positive force and it can strike both internally and externally and i think the 2nd message we're principally would be to the kenyans and to the americans who have stepped up their campaigns against al shabaab particularly through a series of drone strikes by the american forces in the last year we saw almost a record number of strikes with the insults central somalia and this would have been tended to restrike right now what does this tell us about al shabaab strength in the region. i think about fortunes of what and wind over the last decade but over the last 2 years they reinvented themselves the shield themselves to be adaptive and resilient and unfortunately as little as these are huge documents governments within their principle stronghold in thought central somalia out above would retain the capacity

both to raise finances with which to fund of parishioners but also and critically to be able to plan operations almost with impunity. and what effect will this have on kenya. i think what's important to remember is that while this attack has drawn a lot of attention and some bug has been rightly i look really nice i can see it in northern kenya for most of the last 6 or 7 years they did more to pull ambushes on civilians killed. passengers on buses drooled roadside bombs or security personnel this is not really new it probably doesn't change too much in the kenyan police jumped but it will reach significant questions on hollow us about could successfully infiltrate a very important

a prominent base such as this we don't dissipate the real ginger police see it but the kenyan and ameri kind of there it is will certainly really examine their security arrangements to understand how it's about all these. from the international crisis group in nairobi thank you. now you know about to me is that gerry is mixed bag there she is. in asean is the number one junior golf in her country with the trophies piling up in her bedroom her dream of becoming a professional golfer is becoming very real she picked up her 1st golf club at the age of 5 or yen asean as the number one junior golf in nigeria it was love at 1st sight. well the voice playing i wanted stickiest close my mind said no so he wanted to play in his. new clubs she's come
