once upon. a documentary looking for answers. in 45 minutes to tell you. the crime fighters are back with the africa's most successful radio drama series continues in the only persones are available online and of course you can share and discuss on w. africa's facebook page and other social media platforms crime fighters to me and now. hello to you welcome to the 77 percent this edition explores how i have been dealing with up on demick so if you are already been fasting you'll see belts and let's drive through host be my country now. so here's what's coming up on the program.

as a culture. we explore the bare metal underground scene in what's one. musicians from all over africa explain how the 19 affects. now let's get the ball rolling in kenya's capital nairobi due to the pandemic the city's on their care feud between 9 pm and 5 pm obviously this affects the cities and thai and mike life for those who want to go out nightclubs are closed on working doing the night like taxi drivers food seles and sex workers are finding it difficult to make a living every one either come on he stepped out of night 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 here because of corporate 19 so what happens to all the servicemen and women who are really low on the activities of the night to fend for their families well i want to find out which means we're probably going club hopping today. ok some of our 3 invites you into what we call a local joint the name suggests it's a neighborhood pub but all these people we will see you know must leave in less than an hour and i want to find out from the owners and the people who work here how the time crunch has affected their business. on a normal weekend outside of curfew restrictions what would it look like. would be double the one that you're seeing. right now. in fact right now as you speak. ready 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. the business. so what we're doing is that we've. found 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 us very much as. 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 gain a ruby it's no different but these men and women who prepared these dishes are now being forced out of work early and i want just because 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 bucket. it's truly unbelievable to think that this is 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 seek care 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 tour of the nightlife circuit and one thing crossed my mind as we're driving through these streets i noticed that there's a significant group of people missing commercial sex workers we 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 or any 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 1000 month on average would you say is the biggest difference from 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 kids' 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 of. my house is actually about to be locked because all of them 18000 in those are. 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 he was to be extended well beyond strictly 20 we're now coming to about a quarter. where people. and. so we're talking about a very dramatic. expansion can. you look. for it all the government. 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 mentioned in the interview it really could be any major city across africa and i hope that this information favorability thank you for watching. thanks for that information now from kenya in the east let's now head to the gambia in the west. because there's so much panic in the government to get last minute mississauga's to . just go for it this is the building that this was the master grid for the schools are closed so no. class was such a slow so no demands of past the 5th state of emergency is a catastrophe to shut down on

a says to businesses now that the system let's get in on the pilots they bug out write such pieces to list every thing that's my asterisk it's just we all thought it. would hear from the president but he acted. on jimmy the let's see emergency fund should be limited to $1000000.00 to defeat and it seems like a big deal to me to. see 3 dimensions pepsi in the pool to let more kid lock down folks we can't afford to stay at home 50. for me to see cast power no water for a day trying to keep my hands clean i see them taking the fairness out on no one makes me we all hokum play we get for the facts and.

cold. feels this cold is. the cold that. close. 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. all around the continent continued to struggle from the effects of covert 19 so we asked

a few of the artists you may know how they've been dealing with the current situation and. 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 lockdown we had to be inside and and. stay safe. has really damaged a lot with you know me in the city. when it comes to income as many artists out here we like want performances bookings travel you know to actually make money you know what i was i was and you know picking it up so. right now is the time to plan for example. musically being artists well we've been able to move on like

everything you know is mine to do you know i think we haven't had a chance to really sit down and. introspecting you know think all of us differently get the idea it's been a very interesting time for you know us to think to read what i think the thing was in our villages in america and i think it needed to slow down a little bit for us to be the brain ourselves. we're not coping but of course i will government in certain departments have made it easier to create relief funds where we're able to draw some money but that is not even enough the case. we should not be complaining because everybody there are people who are in worse situations than we are as musicians and think the whole craned covered one thing is affected everybody in this country has been very difficult to be isolated from friends colleagues and musicians that we work with for such

a long time but i do believe that the current 19 is a temporary inconvenience and it shall pass. the corner virus is 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 rust as 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 playing in a live gigs 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

hometown gaborone in botswana where he's part of a growing scene that is putting african metal family on the map. rust is one of what so honest best known heavy metal bands their hits hatim old is an anthem against social pressure to conform rust believes metal music encourages an independent attitude. that will give you the balls and the courage to just see it as it is this individual is that nature of its aggressive music and you just don't understand why somebody doesn't get it. just realize you know what i'm just there and again 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

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 a unique cowboy style like stocks the fans believe their powerful music and pawn shop for dock loading is often misunderstood as evil. people and we care more. about what. we don't act on than. people believe. 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 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 started in one. goes crazy and you know i just unleash all sorts of energy you know that i feel at the time especially when the crowd is going wild i also go wild you know it's aimed really but in the corporate world you conform to the rules of society. stark's masterfully navigates both worlds and enjoys the perks of each. with. the underground metal scene and botswana thrives on the passion and 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 them music they are at least completely independent no one tells them how to play or what their songs should be about. if it were to talk about abuse of power like what's been happening in africa you know leaders stay in powerful wrong in that nonsense i can talk about it if you want to talk about the 1st world countries or the western countries come into a few got you get older your says fuck it i'm free to talk about that and i will do that. to you is here. it's a really. warm 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 a passionate home. well now that is a lot of credit because if you just saw was one of the last before the cuban 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 may wonder. when is the best time to have sex with this new partner for the 1st time well our residence experts cause us the answer. hello everybody and welcome to the spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything sex 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 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 a relationship is that every encounter you have with each person you date will be different there is 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 that don't involve physical touch long sexy phone calls right before bedtime intimate 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
