11:31 am
ground see what's one. musicians from all over africa explain how cooper 19 affects the album. now let's get the ball rolling in kenya's capital nairobi due to the pandemic the city's on very carefully between 9 pm and 5 am obviously this affects the cities and tie on like life for those who want to go out like clubs closed on working doing the nights like taxi drivers food seles and sex work is finding it difficult to make a living very own even the money stepped out on nights to find out what they have to say on a typical saturday night in nairobi you might find yourself in traffic and that's probably from people who are trying to get to events or maybe to a club before happy hour ends and that industry the service industry has been deeply affected since a coffee was imposed because of probate 19 so what happens to all the servicemen and women who are really low. on the activities of the light to find for their
11:32 am
families well i want to find out which news be going club hopping today. ok some about 3 invites you into what we call a local joint the name suggests it's a neighborhood pub but all these people we're seeing here i must leave in less than an hour and i want to find out from the owners of the core what how that time crunch has affected their business has gone. on a normal weekend outside of coffee restrictions what would it look like the normal numbers would be double the one that you're seeing. right now when things were. before great now as you speak to the preferred to go home you still have staff who have families to be sustained so how are you working that out so we've come to an agreement that we must be able to make ends meet for both was with the business.
11:33 am
so what we're doing is that we've given them. some people who are also saving one to give us their opinion about the curfew and how it's affected them and their partying and coffee is affecting their very much as you can center king flirts maybe. i'm sure she didn't because of time. every single city across the world has that one place that has that one specialty that you just want to eat after being at the club and here in nairobi it's no different but these men and women who prepared these dishes are now being forced out of work and i want to speak to one of them was just actually closing business how life has been since the curfew before before i would open from around 5. out by our own 2 buckets of meat produce but now i'm buying about half a bookie. it's truly unbelievable to think that this is
11:34 am
a space that was so vibrant about half an hour ago but this i suppose the effect of the curfew the time now is 2117 and i'm just going to walk you through some of the spaces we've been through so that you can see the difference this is the pool table where just a few minutes earlier there were people milling about having a good time that's the backyard garden where we were. and the noise that we're hearing in the background of the few staff members who are left to lockdown and some of them actually have to sleep here because of the curfew for the neighbors it's really good news because no noise from 9 pm but for the owners it must be really stressful because they're literally having to shut down 8 hours before they're normally used to this is usually the time when people in nairobi leave their homes to come into the pubs. this is a state of affairs right now we're just about to complete our 2 of the nightlife circuit and one thing crossed my mind as we're driving through these streets i
11:35 am
noticed that there's a significant group of people missing commercial sex workers you might not like to talk about them or even admit it but they do depend on the nightlife and obviously you know without any supply demand there's no need for supply but the question is what are they now doing where they. are. and i tell you this night work is good so you can get lucky sometimes and make up to 2000 shillings when workers can get up to 1500 when it's really bad you get 1001 on average would you see the biggest difference between give me an idea of what you used to make then and what you're making now with this side hustle. that's a look right now i'm selling but he has and it's not paying i can get 300 shillings and my kid's upcountry i can only keep 50 shillings to buy some food and the rest i'm sending it to them i can't eat a lot. my house is actually about to be locked because all of them 18000 in those
11:36 am
are. sort of just been speaking to all these people who depend on the economy to basically have a livelihood and the story is a very heartbreaking but it's got me thinking what would be the long impact if this cause it was to be extended well beyond. we're now coming to what i call it. where people. get so we're talking about a very dramatic. expansion kind of. interest so if you look. for it all the governments of all. well i mean it's always risky speaking to an economist isn't it because you never know if what they're going to tell you is going to be good news or bad news but that's a serious dose of reality and i can't think of a better way to conclude the special on the night economy here in nairobi but as i
11:37 am
mentioned in the interview it really could be any major city across africa and i hope that this informational favorability of thank you for watching. thanks for that information now from kenya in the east let's now head to the gambia in the west on the shores of the atlantic ocean our very own residence is just produced a new song about the pandemic exclusively for us. a little. longer so much panic in the game. government taking last minute measures so we paid sick just couldn't cope with the insufficient bid me thinking that this was the mast too good for the schools have been closed so no class to skip class or just blow so nobody moms and passed the 5th state of emergency is the cast of fish shut down on essential business is now the cats just
11:38 am
like skiing on the flight it's a bug i see right in the back seat b.c. it's killing everything that's my asterisk it's just what we call cartilage one here from the president but he acted. on jimmy ellis the emergency fund should be the best keep the 1000000 dollars to help to deceive the field and it seems like a big deal to me to. see 3 dimensions pepsi and of course the poor feel that more kid locked down for weeks can't afford to stay home 50. feet is cheap gas power no water for a day trying to keep my hands clean i see them taking the families out on no one makes me we all hope and pray we get for the faxing.
11:39 am
cold. feels just the phone this. cold. cold front. a scaling it on the track always great to have you want to show let's get back on track when i don't like the guys. now all around the continent continue to struggle from the effects of covert 19 so we asked
11:40 am
a few of the artists you may know how they've been dealing with the current situation. this crew in the house really affected me as an artist because i had shoes i had tours in the u.s. had toss in europe. i had to go to london to be with my family for a while in order to and all those things couldn't come on because of the night and because of the law going out to be inside and and. stay safe. has really damaged a lot with you know me in the city specially when it comes to income as many artists out there we like want performances bookings travel you know to actually make money you know what i'm so looking it up so. right now is the time to plan for example. musically being artists well we've been able to move online everything
11:41 am
you know is online everything digital i think we haven't had a chance to really sit down and really introspective you know think all this differently get the idea that it's been a very interesting time for you know us to think to read what the thing was another was the world in america and i think it needed to slow down a little bit for us to be going to ourselves. we are not coping but of course our government and certain departments have made it easy to create relief funds we were able to draw some money but that is not even enough ok. we should not be complaining because everybody there are people who are in worse situations than we are as musicians and the whole train to cover one thing is everybody in this country and it's been very difficult to be isolated from friends
11:42 am
colleagues and musicians that you work with for such a long time but i do believe that the catholic 19 is a temporary inconvenience and it shall pass. the corner virus it's really terrible it's a bad pandemic it's affected our of life it's affected our economy. the music industry is no different really and i think in my opinion the music industry is the most hit because at the moment we don't have international travel and as a musician we know that we have to travel and so on and from rosters well look. the last gig that we had was sometime in. march and really that's really terrible for any musician if you're not performing if you're a plane your life gigs are that's really really bad for for us at the moment. so the last president outside meant was stocks demon from rust it's this guy he's the lead singer of the band doing a very rare johnno of african music metal stocks the one welcomes us in his
11:43 am
hometown gaborone in botswana where he's part of a growing scene that is putting african metal family on the mom. rust is one of what swan is best known heavy metal bands their hit hit a mold is an anthem against social pressure to conform rust believes metal music encourages an independent attitude. that would give you the balls and the courage to see it as it is this individual is that major of its aggressive music and you just don't understand why somebody doesn't get it big enough to realize you know what i'm just there in the gate i'm not going to do whatever. society dictates and they're going to conform to this rule i'm just going to be a fearless machine and just go on and listen to no one seek my own path and that's
11:44 am
it. when rust takes to the stage the crowds excitement is palpable. although heavy metal has a relatively small following in botswana the country has a reputation for its passionate fans and their unique cowboy style like stocks the fans believe their powerful music and poncho on foot dock loading is often misunderstood as evil. people and we care more. about what. we don't act on than. people believe. i guess who people sometimes people so that's where the uniqueness comes in because we turn out to be differ. and from what from their views and opinions the next morning front man stuck stresses are for a very different role his corporate job while stocks would love to pursue
11:45 am
a career in music full time at the moment he needs to support his band financially in botswana heavy metal isn't a big moneymaker the genre gets almost no air time on radio or television and proceeds from live gigs barely cover the costs of organizing the show so to finances rock star lifestyle by night stocks works as a bank manager by day. goes crazy and you know i just unleashed all sorts of energy than i feel at the time especially when the crowd is going wild i also go wild you know i go insane really but in the corporate world you believe you conform to the rules of society. stucks monster flee navigates both worlds and enjoys the perks of each. with. the underground metal scene and botswana thrives on the passion and
11:46 am
creativity of its members nobody is in it for financial gain everything is self-made and funded from the outfits to the songs and the concept. that even though the bands like rust can't make a living from their music they are at least completely independent no one tells them how to play or what their songs should be about. if if we want to talk about abuse of power like what's been happening in africa you know leaders stay in power for long in that nonsense i can talk about it if you want to talk about the 1st world countries or the western countries come into off you got you get older your says fuck it i'm free to talk about it and i will do that. this. is who work here. so really. for pure and independent africa is sometimes described as heavy metals last frontier but in botswana heavy metal has gone back to its roots and it's found
11:47 am
a passionate home. well now that is a lot of very rich because if you just saw was one of the last before the cup at 19 pandemic broke out and spread across africa now when you go to concerts like these you might meet somebody you like right you could get intimate and you will wonder. when is the best time to have sex with this new partner for the 1st time well our resident sexpert has the answer. hello everybody and welcome to the spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything that and relationship today our question is a bit of a heartfelt one coming all the way from ivory coast from a young lady by the name of merriam. her question reads hey kav so i've been dating this guy for about 3 weeks now i really like him we have almost everything in
11:48 am
common we also have really strong sexual chemistry but i'm worried that if i sleep with him he will leave this is happened to me before so i'm trying to be more cautious going into relationships my question is when is the right time to have sex with a partner for the 1st time thanks for your question merriam the thing with relationships is that every encounter you have with each person you date will be different there's no hard and fast rules when it comes to having sex with a partner for the 1st time and you shouldn't have to carry the burden of an old relationship into a new one if what you're looking for is longevity then give it some time see if he sticks around he sounds like a decent enough guy and as cliche as this sounds only time will tell there are a ton of things that you can do to ease the sexual tension so you don't feel like you're missing out on anything while you're still getting to know. each other better send each other sexy text messages of explore ways of being intimate but don't involve physical touch long sexy phone calls right before bedtime intimate
11:49 am
dinners under the stars you may even decide to get physical without actually having intercourse the list is endless and this can go on until you feel comfortable enough to have sex with your partner keep in mind many of us struggle with the idea of possession we're always trying to find ways to keep our partners the fact is you can't make somebody stay if they don't want to you can only be authentic with yourself and hope that in doing so you will attract like minded people at the end of the day and in the wise words of rumi what you seek is seeking you when you feel ready to have sex with your partner for the 1st time go ahead and enjoy those pleasures just remember to be safe and go in with no expectations other than enjoying the experience from mika has till next time thank you guys as always one thing i'm taking from this is what you seek is seeking you think about it that's deep let's now go to the final report of the show
