a well established economic relationship some $600.00 german companies currently operation size africa some like pump maker k s b have been there for decades. but stable employment of this kind is hard to come by these days over the past decade scythe africa has economy has been steadily losing steam. in 2011 growth was at more than 3 percent 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 why did. you promise this for youth. and be doing this for a long time is about $200.00. the government doesn't give us an opportunity

compounding south africa's economic problems waves of power outages and state energy company eskom fails to keep up with growing to mt. 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 got quite a lot of challenges including that electricity crisis we just mentioned. absolutely and i'm putting 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 expose coal to countries like india china korea japan and i foresee

some of those countries also decided to eliminate the usage of coal which put south african a very very tricky situation means that the have no choice by sea radek a sea use call and one thing that they must do i think would be full way 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 of the 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 fighting 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 course i have put into space is an integrity says resource sense which looks 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 market and if you have great pay sort of stuff just briefly how is that economic rescue plan to run a post is coming a lot. oh american no metric the off that he initiated in 2018 it's looking a bit tough for him right now but he does seem to have it on the ropes and as you mentioned earlier in the week before though the issue is a big one you know with a lot of people not working it means that there is going to off and then that means that the economy is looking down so he needs to feel that really fought and of course a lot of recruitment going on right now with about 30 percent of the people i'm employed so dire but i think off to be thrill from feel good or come off a lot of challenges ahead for the south african economy you know and global thank you very much for your analysis from johannesburg apart 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 of red tape to cut through and to large wind turbines many kids have already folded. there are still some big construction sites for wind parks left in germany like here in mecca the 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 tonnes 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. it's the markets the moment . 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. it's the sources you know 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. and 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. now if you're interested in the future of mobility the rwandan capital kigali is the place to be this week the africa drawing for is underway just start ups and engineers are attending the event hosted by one government the focus is on identifying business opportunities experts expect the drug market to be worth well over $4000000000.00 in the next few nights not its infrastructure. and security. and golly d.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 leader 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 if you need safe when you can where they can make a difference for children if it's about delivering made this into remote areas to serve communities which normally don't have access to medicine then 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. 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 books in deliveries we'll see companies come up to solve their own problems so at least through my painful cholera malaria sites see

a lot of upcoming companies based on finding local solutions to their problems the 1st batch of 26 year from all over the continent just in road at the academy can you tell us a little bit what they've learned at the academy for the tenor of the 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 their own local problems so the learn about physics of drones to learn about safety sept is 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 a plan in mining industry agriculture industry again even the health care sector. we can feel

a lot of effort you see yes i'm and optimism here at the drone forum how do we know that drones for africa is more 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 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 you get there's a. point
