all 0. 00. and i am now pleased to welcome sarah come out of every news africa she is joining us from her home in johannesburg welcome to day to have in years africa say it's good to see you you have campaigned for many a good cause effect malaria this time why. this is. growing out of the i grew up in central africa yes it was cool it was a regular time and at one point we almost lost one of my younger sisters to malaria which had become celebrity area so this is personal and i feel that it's time for me to almost get involved and make a small difference is special because. it can be overwhelming it's affecting everybody and it's what is topical at the moment the rest not forget malaria and
1:20 am
that's why i stepped up and joined. what can be done gripes it to prevent malaria claiming more lives to say we've already heard some experts warning that the amount of people that died this year could be double what died last year because of the cold the pandemic. the reality is before covered 90 malaria could have affected half the population of the world so it's big i think what could be done 1st of all is not forgetting it you know combating malaria as well as call it 1000 ensuring that we continue to invest in a mosquito nets as we have been in the past and creating now awareness to make sure that the people that are affected your are total mind is we got our. duties. that's right it's been saying that you know malaria doesn't get the attention that it should because it's a 3rd world problem right. what do you think about that. you know
1:21 am
it is what it is it's true right govern $1000.00 is a pretty everybody it's a race of gnostic class that gnostic but malaria is unfortunately you know restricted to sit in areas and that's the reality and which is why i thought my voice as small as it is likely to rise up and unite and make that difference the nice thing is there is a lot of work that's been done in the past and also if vision actually in malaria so i think with people like me with you start giving us the platform we can actually combat it irrespective of the fact that it's only localized to sit in areas and not the rest of the world so you have explored the world in your adventure as we saw you up at the top of mount everest that's not something i've seen many black women do right climbing these mountains and and going to the
1:22 am
heights that that you have quantified you must feel like some kind of an outlier right. not really i think for me it's about presentation it's about making sure that my great grandchildren don't fuel that there are certain things they can do city areas we can go to i love climbing and i use it to raise money for education and i'm going for it you know i would love to reach for people coming behind me to be seen on it race is a norm not as you know are one of the few of the question why whether the longer it's making sure the african child is a spectacle where they are to know that they too can step on top of the world that makes me very proud and humble are at that's sarah i can model our reminder again she is the 1st black woman to summit mount everest and now she's taking on malaria serious and great talking to you. thank you thank you for having me again
