i'm christine wendell welcome to deeds every news africa it's good to have your company in kenya trash is trisha the waste collection business is a source of money for both those in poverty and those in power poor people collect recyclable material for small change and government officials also have to receive thousands in bribes for awarding big god big collection contracts now this is the dam doral landfill site in the capital nairobi it was supposed to be closed yes ago but as all correspondent reports it's a gold mine and too many people are profiting from it including criminal gangs. every morning thousands of scavengers in nairobi kenya stream to the tent or a dump site where the global trash business has become a multimillion dollar venture the people here try to and if you dollars

a day picking and selling waste to make ends meet it's a dangerous place by gangs and cartels rule with violence. it's every man or boy for themselves says 12 year old great she spends a monday he's scared of the older boys and men who tried to steal the waste others have collected. before you know it it's her head that he's cutting i've seen many little being killed. just yesterday ritchie himself was attacked traumatizing experience. so i told her the sack is mine you lock me up inside a truck it was about 7 in the morning he may have been set by the double me up until 10 o'clock that evening. into may be government owned and looks like a mess but this place is highly organized with every inch tightly controlled by

gangs. you should never pick from someone struck with what you aren't supposed to overwhelm you must wait for them to finish taking everything they want otherwise it's just outright war. but it's not only the scavengers who have to follow the rules hundreds of truck drivers are charged in the legal security and offloading fee of $5.00 to $7.00 every time they enter. when you come in that's when you pay everything at the gate. but i mean it wasn't are a dump site especially if it was supposed to close down years ago but it's also become a magnet for violence and going to snow. so why has no robey stress gold-mine been allowed to continue existing for so long.

one of the so-called dumpsite lords who was part of a lethal takeover in which at least 14 people died agrees to speak to us but on the condition of anonymity he says it's the prospect of money that has kept the side running but that it's not the gangs who make the serious money rather it's those who they oncet to the garbage cartels networks of private companies and subcontractors that own the multi-million dollar government tenders to manage the waste. there are the cartels or those powerful people if you open a speak about the dealings they're involved in you're in danger they all hide how they make their money but they own the tendency for anyone in kenya to get anything you have to pay we used to it's even. very common the results of kickbacks.

nairobi's governor mike song called and other senior county officials have been accused of irregular payments for garbage collection services amounting to $3500000.00 and having received bribes. since the law forbids officials from discussing cases which are before court we asked them to comment on corruption surrounding tend towards in general. it is a serious problem because it involves money. because it is the private companies that are doing business with government but quite a number of the coverage of this problem people can do. on requirements because we are looking at a company we believe but it. says that there is corruption involved not only in who is awarded the tender but also in the pricing if the tender itself will be distant or supposed to cost. the type of media she

lives it is deliberately skewed to cost 1000000000 on sale and leave the 200000000 he's been shared between some some government offices were involved in the award. the county department in charge of the wood in the garbage contract declined to talk to us from this report. deep in the downside richie sec is finally full time to go away in the pickings of today but there is no alternative for richie and his mother to make a living he hasn't given up hope just yet. whom the local play i only want to be a pilot nothing but a pilot that's what i want to be. the wheels of justice are slow in kenya there is no saying how long it will take for corruption in the tendering system to end for the gangsters dump intimidating

nairobi's poorest and for conditions at the dump site to improve. today ritchie has collected 5 kilograms of plastic he is going home for $75.00 shillings that's less than one us dollar. tomorrow he'll be back. now the south african billionaire patrice must see if he has apologized for telling us president donald trump that africa loves him in a statement that he had no right to speak on behalf of africans not the controversy began when the mining tycoon attended a dinner with president trump in switzerland last week they told him quote africa loves america africa loves you we want america to do well we want you to do well now with those words landed on social media there was siri one to say used to say it when did patrice become a diplomat to speak on behalf of an entire continent and now they use

a set. in the absence of the president we now have patrice would say addressing the world and i'll be off lying about how we love racists like donald trump and then this used to say we saw you lying to trump in the hope of getting access to the american economy the truth is you will never taste a thing from america he will continue exploiting the african economy so just watch was most of his intention when he told donald trump that african loves him and was such a bad thing to say we've invited john streamed out onto the program today to talk more on this he's a visiting professor in the international relations department at south africa's the university welcome to news africa professor so the truth will set to say is that he was trying to encourage discussions between the trump administration and african business and political leaders. i'm just thinking could one all get that

that was perhaps a way to do it well you certainly can and it is good demonstrated in the us that if you get a proponent of donald trump he can be very forgiving if you jennifer clark and then show him that you think he's just a wonderful human being and are willing to play by his terms which you're retransmit actionable and prone to impulsive action but that's what i think most of the was was picking 2 was once he's seen happen in the united states where i preface to some surveys have suggested that president donald trump enjoys favorable ratings on the african continent why would that be the case. it's very difficult for me to say without looking at the polling data i know the pew research center has done some work on this and shows that in fact in nigeria and even in kenya where where we're broke obama's father was born in and don't

forget the birth or issue that brought donald trump to prominence was essentially a racist argument back in 20152016 so i could see that there's certainly room appreciation of american power and american programs that africans would hope would continue under trump but i don't think they're terribly well informed donald trump has shown no interest in africa's never been here and has been very critical of africa but he does represent a government which has extensive relations across the continent and those have a lot of effect but i don't think anyone just that he's less popular than or he's popular than barack obama right i mean you brought up the point so what are 7 we to make of the fact that present donald trump has never visited the african continent he doesn't care much about africa he's never studied it he doesn't show any interest or knowledge of the continent in any way but he does pop off on twitter

account occasionally about things that he finds a sense of what and uses derogatory comments to discuss the condit so it's not a very promising future if he was to be reelected in 2020 later in this year november 3rd but now i think the question is how do you get along with america in the interim rights and i mean just how would you very quickly about this how would you characterize the relationship the u.s. has had with that africa and a president. it's been pretty low level and trump has been focused on other parts of the world and have given no attention to africa was the professionals continue in the diplomatic corps but africa has been a low priority and particularly of this administration all right that's professor john stream now in johannesburg for us thank you. again that's it but alan did have a nice africa you can catch all our stories on our website and face the case today
