w.'s crime fighters are back with africa's most successful radio drama series continues tomorrow night this odes are available on the. course you can share and discuss on w. africa's face for other social media platforms. to me now. hello there i am michael welcome to a brand new edition of the 77 percent. africa. i'm stuck here in ghana the show must go on so we decided to put use the show on location right here on the streets which is currently in lockdown so here's what's coming up it came on a tipster to speak of nairobi to see how google's. we

also meet a king in fashion designer would use in stylish. and it's a rally on filmmaker sorry that's true. for most of us life drastically change over the past few weeks most countries around the world are in a lockdown to prevent the federal spread of the corner virus and africa is no exception on march 26th south africa implemented one of the toughest. photograph. on the tour who as shockingly quiet. rollerskating through a crowded johannesburg is nothing more than a distant memory for abraham's now the city is wrapped in an eerie silence no one is allowed outside except for grocery shopping or buying medicine. the kind of cereal. because i've never experienced something like this before basically

having to stay on not. being able to meet the space so this is very different and very new for me but not everyone can add here to the rules many hold most people simply have no way to go. i don't know what to expect when it comes to my career. i don't know what exposure to expect when it comes to. countries going to and what's going to happen to people that don't have a kind of a source of income to fend for themselves so i'm really anxious. all major highways are a few police cars are patrolling the city but there's no sign of the army this once bustling neighborhood now resembles a ghost town. this prison like many waiters and shopkeepers who used to work here abrahams is worried about the future if the lockdown continues he has no idea how

he will make ends meet most of his assignments were canceled. they want feeling the pain and. this is where we have to draw closer together and try to figure out how do we do life together and their lives calling out to many to to start thinking beyond the new start thinking not only thinking about themselves but thinking about other people and how do we do this to get. to. hello hello. i feel the same way here. never seen my city this quiet and empty as you already know i am stuck in ghana because of the border closures i cannot board a plane anywhere at the moment but at least i am with friends and with my family and like many africans who are stranded let's hear what they have to see.

my name is mark. musician fukin young and i'm here in copenhagen denmark where it got stuck because of the cruel nowhere. down. it's so easy because. i lost all my geeks all my clothes and it is it is not nice being in a place you know. walking in the early. i have ruined my name is a miracle and the photographer a filmmaker from nigeria right now my current situation i'm stuck in from ford came to frankfurt for a wedding friends were doing and we've just been cancelled you know government shutdown. was pushed back in. on the 6th of april but notice this is being shot to last week of april. so now i'm not even sure if i'm going to be with the flow back even after the time we do when i'm not sure

if this is going to be open so that's my fear most. as you know currently i'm stuck in the usa i was here to showcase my film but because of the coronavirus i can't believe i'm someone who loves freedom so i find the situation very difficult it's especially tough for me because i'm not in my home country and i'm far from my family it's not great but i understand the restrictions are there to protect us from the infection and so that we don't infect others. i mean it really breaks my heart to see so many people stranded so far away from home and i'm sure there are many out there just like them now let's head to kenya where the government are so forced locked down form basque told on this is after

the country would miss its 1st corner virals death situation is telling him particularly in the informal sector very own it it can money to flee the streets of nairobi to find out how the good economic effects of the corvette 19 pandemic. now like the rest of the world we're all trying to do our best here the 77 percent to flatten that corona virus infection line but i'm just thinking about people who are in the informal sector particularly here in kenya which is where the biggest workforce really is these are the small business owners who are probably not very organized and who sectors are largely unregulated those guys who don't have offices to go to who can't work from home what do they do during these hard times it's an impossible choice really stay home don't get infected but potentially sleep hungry or go out get something to eat and potentially get infected well i want to talk to

some of those people and see what they have to say so as get out of the office. all right so we've found a gentleman whose name is titus and he's actually a taxi driver has agreed to speak to us i can imagine that doing business for him at this time must not be very. ok. they are. nice to meet you. after. the debut been a good thing but a bit tough they are going to talk to us ok so let's get straight to be here working on the government has said that we should be staying at home so what's going on. with regard to broaden who do you know as.

far as we are surviving to mold so it's is hard to stay at home if you told me that there's an area here where your sanitising with the rest of the taxi driver can you show me the city of new. basically on the. week you know how to your. customers be. and we do. hear you say. yeah. you know about. a fundraiser. and you disinfecting but. i'm going to. say you don't. let me wash my hands because. i'm very paranoid if i if i'm being honest but it's better

to be safe than sorry. ok so on the one hand i completely understand when he says that he's living from hand to mouth but on the other hand i'm concerned that none of the government instructions are being followed but then again how could they possibly stay at home not possible to make sense from one another the nature of this job demands or to impose proximity to one another in fact even the operators right there just back to back and i'm wondering if you will really be able to. know some of the people who have been most affected by this shutdown of everything is people in the creative industry and one of them is actually a photographer and we're here to students and quiet today despite the fact that this is one of the busiest studios in nairobi thank you for making time for us but

just quickly what's business been like for the last couple of days most of what we do is about events and gathering and meeting off people so everything was just. there's nobody here it's. here to say but obviously when. talking about cancel cancel postpone that's money that was supposed to be in your bank account that no longer is secure how are you going to recover how do we all recover. when i ask you how i'm going to recover because i think for the 1st time in my life i'm soon living idea at a time not just for us every business but on the reemployed pass on the suffering is going to be long so we're trying to prepare. so with part of this day trying to investigate what's happening to people in the informal sector who simply can't afford to stay home and 2 things have emerged one is that unless the government is going to implement a lockdown people will still continue going to work and the 2nd thing is that the

implication the financial implication that's been caused by the coroner outbreak is probably going to be felt long after the virus has been managed corno virus are certainly created a challenging situation for everybody for me and you and there will be and money i hope you can weather this crisis together in the spirit of boon to all those who are suffered job losses will soon get back on to our feet but we have some inspiration from nairobi specifically to bear up which is probably africa's the biggest slum kibera is considered a critical hot spot in the corner of virus crisis here protective gear is considered a luxury but 24 year old designer david orr ching are sticking the feet of his community into his own hands he's resigned in fierce must that are both stylish and i let people to the throat of corn of virus. i

mean if you don't know the fashion is in. david a g.m. is only 24 years old but he's changing the narrative in his home thank you very much flam in paying its capital nairobi he's giving out african printer maps which are hands made for free just to spread out the grown up virus in style because. everyone here. that. he started his fashion line looks like in 2017 these days david wants to protect his community from the pandemic he wants to raise awareness about hygiene and reduce the spread of the coronavirus in poverty stricken kibera it's tough to choose between spending money on hygiene or food to. be able to. give. food.

in africa's largest slum residents live on less than a dollar a day and spend up more to stay home an extra purchase of protective gear like the masks and the dogs is a luxury. and . when it comes to. david chang has given out over 5000 masks since kenya's 1st coronavirus he aims to make about 1000 masks and feeley distribute them. is giving. free your mind this is.

david's main objective is to protect they keep their residents masks do not guarantee full medical protection but the idea is to get people thinking about hygiene with. 700000 people living in there on demand grows every day. he has trained over 17 women and teenagers and states when the coronavirus pandemic is over and david chang wants to continue inspiring thing next generation of young residents to bear. wow what an amazing guy and his must to have bits of swat well everybody is talking

. as specially over social media and just more surprised that news is becoming more problem with such an overload of information it can be quite overwhelming when you try to distinguish between the good and the so to help you out here are the most important facts about the core not virus. this is what the new. looks like strongly magnified the most common symptoms include fever. and shortness of breath. some people. most people infected with the virus recover without special medical attention. but it can be much more dangerous for people for people with weak immune systems and full bloods who already house medical issues. here are some important steps you can take to protect others from infection. when you give someone

no kissing or shaking hands give or foot. even if it feels a little at 1st the virus can easily spread through small droplets from the most of the mouth so whenever an infected person. the droplets can land on the surfaces that we touch than our hands can spread this ducat even father that's why it's so important to keep your distance whenever possible 2 meters is recommended. it's also super important to show hands regularly entirely that means waiting them with water and washing them with soap for 20 to 30 seconds that's about as long as it takes to sing the humpy but this song twice make sure you focus on your palms the back of your arms fingertips you finger nails on the space between your fingers then rinse and dry you hands if you don't have access to soap and water you can use

an alcohol best and sanitize instead just make sure you hands are clean as hard as it is don't touch your fists if you need to go for sneeze don't use your hand. aim into the bend over your elbow you can also use a tissue just make sure you throw it into the trash straight away keep your distance from those who are sneezing or coughing is possible both can be used but only if we can see them regularly you might be seeing them everywhere at the moment but face masks don't actually offer complete protection against the virus but if you are sick wearing a face mask and protect the people around me or. most importantly if you feel unwell stay at home don't go to work or hang out with a group of friends and if you are experiencing a fever right over and difficulty breathing contact. your local health center right away call them in advance and do what they see.
