are concerned. playing freely now played out. 6 in 45 minutes on d w. what secrets lie behind. discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. w world heritage 316. now. hello there i am michael welcome to a brand new edition of the 7 to 7 percent this show for africa smudger. i'm stuck here in ghana the show must go on so we decided to produce the show on location right here on the streets of a crowd which is currently in lockdown so here's what's coming up if it can manage

the exodus of nairobi to see how. we also meet a king in fashion designer we would use in stylish the smiles. and. filmmaker i'm sorry they've suffered in this group. for most of us live for us drastically change a lot of past few weeks most countries around the world are in a lockdown to prevent the further spread of the corner virus and africa is no exception on march 26th south africa implemented one of the toughest. photograph abrahams took us on a tour through a shockingly quiet. rollerskating through a crowded johannesburg is nothing more than a distant memory for abrahams now the city. he is wrapped in an eerie silence no

one is allowed outside except for grocery shopping or buying medicine. it's kind of surreal. interesting because i've never experienced something like this before basically having to stay on lockdown without being able to leave the space so this is very different and very new for me but not everyone can add here to the rules many homeless 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 that 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. the ones feeling the pain and you know 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 them you start thinking not only thinking about themselves with thinking about other people and how do we do this to get. to us but. hello hello. i feel the same way here in the never seen my city this quiet and empty as you already know i am stuck in ghana because of the border lucius i cannot board a plane anywhere at the moment. but at least i am with friends and with my family

unlike many africans who washed up wrought let's hear what they have to see. when it was marketed. musician to kenya. in copenhagen denmark where a good stock because of the cool no where else. down. easy because. i lost all my gigs all my concerts it is it is not nice being in a place you're not walking no money. i could ruin my name is a miracle and photographer a filmmaker from nigeria right now my current situation i'm stuck in frankfurt i came to frankfurt for a wedding friend's wedding and we've just been cancelled you know german government shut down the. us president back in nigeria on the 6th of april but now this is being shot to the last week of april. so now

i'm not even sure if i'm going to be with the flyback even after that time with well i'm not sure if this is going to be open so that's my fear most. 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 see. so far away from home

and i'm sure there are many others just like them now let her to kenya where the government and so forth have locked down former dusk till dawn this is after the country would nurse its 1st corner virals death the situation is challenging particularly for those in the informal sector it it can money to for the streets of nairobi to find out how they're coping with the economic effects of the corporate 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 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 let's get out of the office. all right so we've found a gentleman his name is titus and he's actually a taxi driver he's agreed to speak to us i can imagine that doing business for him at this time was not very easy. takes us a. place to meet you. have. the dubious been a good thing but a bit tough yeah yeah my dream to talk to you so let's get straight to it here working on the government has said that we should be. that's cool so what's going

on. and yeah. you know. so it's hard to stay at home if you told me that there's an area here way. with the rest of the taxi drivers can you show me your. face. you know i would say yeah sure. i'm out. here. yeah so. much of. the sun faisal. bodi in the disinfecting because. i'm going to. tell

you you don't see. ok let me wash my hands because i'm. i'm very paranoid if i'm being honest but it's better to be safe than sorry. ok so on the one hand i completely understand talk to us 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 be stay at home not possible to make sense from one another the nature of this job demands or to in close proximity to one another in fact even the returns right there just back to back and wondering if you will really be able to fly. some of the people who have been most affected by this. everything is people in the

creative industry and one of them is given to rita who is actually a photographer and we're here at his studio it's very 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 cancel class or postpone canceled so there's nobody here it's a ghost here to say but obviously when you're talking about cancel cancel postpone that money that was supposed to be in your bank account that no longer secure how how is how are you going to recover how do we all recover. going to ask me 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 person here reemployed pass on the suffering is going to be long so we're trying to prepare. so we started 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 koran outbreak is probably going to be felt long after the virus has been managed coral a virus are certainly created a challenging situation for everybody for me and you and there will be any money i hope you can weather this crisis together in the spirit of boon to all those who have 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 sport in the call of virus crisis here but it's considered a luxury but 24 year old design and david watching are sticking their feet off the . community into his own hands he's resigned in face masks that are both stylish

and i let people to death threats. and he's david have you know the freshness and. david chang is only 24 years old but he's changing the narrative in his home thank you very much in paying its capital nairobi he's giving out african prints masks which are handmade for free. coronavirus style because not everyone here. he started his fashion line looks like 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 corona virus in poverty stricken p. baram it's tough to choose between spending money on hygiene or food to. be able to

. give everybody. food. in africa's largest slum residents live on less than a dollar a day and spends up for it to stay home and the extra purchase of protective gear like the mast and the dogs is a luxury. some muslim museum ask if. the mosque. and. david chang has given out over 5000 masks since hangouts 1st put on a virus he aims to make about 1000 massed dailies and really distribute them in.

here. is given. that this is. david's main objective is to protect they keep their residence at mass do not guarantee full medical protection but the idea though is to get people thinking about hygiene with 700000 people living if you bear out the demand grows every day . he has trained over 17 women and teenagers and when the coronavirus pandemic is over david chang wants to continue inspiring thing next generation of young residents in kibera.

wow what an amazing guy and his must to have. well everybody is talking over. specially over social media more surprised that news is becoming more common with such a lot of information it can be quite overwhelming when you try to distinguish between the good and so to help you out here are the most important facts about the core not fire. is what. looks like. some people or. most people infected with. special medical attention. but it can be much more dangerous for people for people with. weak

immune systems and full those who already house medical issues. here are some important steps you can take to protect yourself and others from infection. first when you give someone no kissing hugging or shaking hands give an elbow bump or foot she can stand even if it feels a little awkward at 1st the virus can easily spread through small droplets from the nose or the mouth so whenever an infected person go for small businesses the duplex 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 free community. 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 happy but the song twice make sure you focus on your palms of your arms fingertips you finger nails on the space

between your fingers and rings and dry you hands if you don't have access to soap and water you can use an alcohol best arm sonny ties instead and 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 heart and instead 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 disposable those can be used but only if you change them regularly you might be seeing them everywhere at the moment but face masks don't actually offer complete protection against the fires but if you are sick wearing a fist mask can 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 the fever right over the difficulty

breathing contact. your local health center right away call them in advance and do what they sing. for us because physical distance it's not easy it is not part of our culture but guys physical distance and doesn't have to mean social distancing because still can go with your family and friends but actually of course i know it's not always easy so all our very own relationships and sex cause has this advice especially for you. hello there and welcome to the spread of space where we get to discuss everything sex and relationships i would think space today is the comfort of my call as we should all be practicing citizens of the right now we're everyone watching this from the front of one of the 98 work around it miers is in brown and that was it

the idea made since under the 1st times given savvis that was right on the dead don't be quite untrue means a lot so if we turn in a new construct about freetown without summation in the courts and 3. freetown is sierra leone's financial have the city's economy revolves largely around its natural harbor deep water to keep the biggest in africa. that's an immense array used to fish for a living earning him the nickname barmy boy i mean as local slang portillo. i grew up by the seaside and a seaside community. you know freetown is by the atlantic ocean we have a really long coastline beautiful coastline so i grew up in a community like many want to formalise fishing was like a livelihood for me for my family so the seaside means
