b have been there for decades. but stable employment of this kind is hard to come by these days over the past decade south africa has a condom a has been steadily losing steam. in 2011 growth was at more than 3 per cent by last year it dipped to 0.6. that's led to a steep rise in unemployment especially among the young more than half of them are out of work. what about this country wide to make. promises for youth. and be doing this for a long time it is about $200.00. the government doesn't give us the opportunity companding say africa's economic problems waves of power outages and state energy company eskom fails to keep up with growing to mount. here to the 2 leaders see

room for cooperation says africa still gets almost 90 percent of its electricity from coal no surprise then that germany's pivot to renewables featured heavily in discussions. how would south africa. coal. at the moment it's. quite a lot of challenges including electricity prices we just. absolutely and i'm 40 something for right now in the dock but i'm liking that i'm right here in life with you but one important thing about this is that you know south africa does export coal to countries like india china korea japan and i foresee some of those countries also decided to eliminate the usage of coal which puts south african a very very tricky situation means that the have no choice but to radek a c.

use of coal and one thing that they must you i think would be for great for them to you know incorporates the workers when the coming up with policies for them to decide what would work and another thing that would be also good would be for them to increase a bit of tax that some of that money can go back to work is that will a fortune not have jobs until a plan b. is and states when it comes to buy that i think something like this but what are the chances of convincing all german companies to invest in south africa when they do consider the economy high risk well you know the one thing that they have decided what the president on the horse has put into place is any template as resource plants which looks at a diversified portfolio of different energies you know you've got to hide your holiday you've got your gas as long as those who uble and they are bought 102 of those i have a little country right now in south africa and they're raking in holes 14000000000 rand so you know it is a growing economy growing markets and to be

a great place for them to stop us just briefly how that economic rescue plan to run a post is coming a lot. well american no metric the office he initiated in 2018 it's looking a bit tougher here right now but he does seem to have it on the ropes and as you mentioned earlier in the. fall of the issue and a big one you know with a lot of people not working that there is going to off and then that means that the economy is looking down so he needs to feel that rethought and of course a lot of recruitment going on right now with up there if you think all the people i'm employed so dire but i think off to be thrill from thing could have come up a lot of challenges ahead for the south african economy you know and global thank you very much for your analysis from johannesburg. from cold germany is also phasing out nuclear energy solar and wind hope to fill the gap but that won't be a brace as public backlash against building turbines little's of red tape to cut

through and to large wind turbines many cases have already folded. there are still some big construction sites for wind parts left in germany like here in mclean book for palm on. 16 windmills are being constructed in spite of the heavy fog i think. it all depends on the wind and weather like today at 1st you couldn't see anything so we couldn't work at lunch time the wind starts picking up if we have bad luck we only get 2 sections up and then we'll have to stop. the workers here ever learn to deal with the fog on the site it's the political climate that's giving them problems the german government is causing everyone to worry berlin has put a damper on the sector protests and legal battles have delayed construction licenses there are hardly any contracts in sight. but energy producers like nordics in

rostock are set up to serve domestic customers. our generators are of course relatively heavy these components that we deliver way many tons so we want to produce them close to where they'll be standing that's the way it is the delivery chain leads to where the markets are and unfortunately those markets aren't in germany anymore all the other markets are doing relatively well but the german market is at an absolute low point. absolutely on the. other when technology suppliers like send me on hand to declare insolvency the german wind energy association says politics are threatening a growth market. that's and this is the engine of the art of german engineering is anchored here we are world market leaders but we're in the process of eliminating this opportunity at home the german market is losing its relevance there's no

reason to try and be active here or to employ workers at the levels that are needed instead i go to markets where i can sell my goods. which man upsets. that's exactly what energy company nordics did. the company has just won large contracts in turkey. we suffered for years in germany at one point we realized we had to start exploring new territory the losses at home could be regained in other markets on the matter doesn't mean. german projects such as this wind farm in northern germany are rare for nordics these days 97 percent of their orders come from all around europe scandinavia and america but also new markets like india. if you're interested in the future of mobility either one of the gap is the place to be this week the africa drone 4 is underway just start ups and

engineers are attending the event hosted by one but the focus is on identifying business opportunities experts expect the drug market to be worth well over $14000000000.00 in the next few nights not its infrastructure. and security. w. susanna kraus spoke to 2 drone experts about how africa's skies could soon change we are here with. a knife who is the unicef lead of the african drone and data academy in malawi and also. yahoo is approaching manager at the academy i would like to know from you drones become smaller more reliable and more affordable where do you see africa skies in the future where we have to over. the future in africa we don't need them all over the places is unicef when you can where they can

make a difference for children if it's about delivering medicine to remote areas to see if communities which normally don't have access to to make this in this makes a difference if we can use them to improve preparedness a great cultural yields or many other use cases they can make a difference and if you just we can see the 1st african drone by. at the exhibition what can we expect from african drone builders in the future i think we'll see a lot of young entrepreneurs come up with ways to find solutions to their own local problems so you'll see people in the agricultural field coming up to increase eels just to make the continent myself in a bowl in terms of food security and also unicef is big with blood deliveries of us in deliveries we'll see companies come up to solve their own problems so at least through my painful cholera site the malaria sites see a lot of upcoming companies based on finding local solutions to their problems the 1st batch of 26 you done from all over the continent just enrolled at the academy

can you tell us a little bit what they've learned at the academy as a 10 week program it's really focused on teaching them hands on skills on the go to the industry they can actually troubleshoot drones build roads from scratch build roads that make sense for their own problems for the only programs for the learn about physics of drones to learn about safety so it was a big part of our curriculum we want them to every time they fly and they do the necessary checks and then once they've finished landed the sort of checks and keep maintain a log of the safety practices and the last 4 weeks it's all about data analysis so they use drones to collect data but how do you analyze this data to make sense of it and to have it appropriate for the different industries so they'll be. happy with one plan in mining industry undercutting australian or even the health care sector we can feel a lot of death you see yes i'm and optimism here at the drone forum how do we know that drones for africa are smaller than a hype drums and not rocket science it's something that young people in africa can

learn and this is what the academy is all about creating the local capacity and the local expertise to have a continuous improvement in the sixty's to have sustainability ensure that this is why we want the students to come to the academy and learn more about these techniques thanks a lot for joining us. thank you for joining us this is because your.
