and they set a new record. that. passion competition rivalry marketing numbers atmosphere power fight and time and tradition . money millionaires fans crimes for stamps and fans. hello and a warm welcome to a brand new edition of the 77 percent my name is liz show and i'm honored to have your company today. coming up on this week's show we're talking about electricity or the lack of it. we ask south africans why so many communities still have no access to power. which took out

a gaming arcade in ivory coast and meet the founder of this digital playground. and we find out why one of the women are taking classes to learn about sexual pleasure . but 1st do you know this sound that's right most of you are familiar with the sound of generators these machines are real lifesavers every time there's a power cut but they also proof that electricity supply in most african countries is unreliable we have traveled to nigeria to see how customers who are unhappy with their power company are seeking help. the hum of generators it's part of daily life in nigeria about 47 percent of the country's 200000000 people have no access to electricity those who have access. russian enough electricity and sudden disconnection if you are unable to pay the bills for. me at their d.g.

it means that even simple things like visiting ones come at a high cost. for young. putting my new recruit i want a girl. back in the area i want to go. and the reason is because there's no light through a tentative energy and get busy and going out i've got to make. some sidin better morsi has been there they just bought a full 10 years he says the electricity challenges mean he has no say venice i don't know me who is a former banker full on tears. and electricity consumer rights and g.o.p. never know i. think the traumatic experience. i didn't. get. one of the biggest problems for consumers he says is that there's a shortage of people which means that park companies send estimated bills which

consumers can't cross-check. they don't know the are right i mean they do understand the procedure to change not just. because you just get a. website has a 1000 subscribers including officials from park on pinney's and the electricity commission mini-cons you mess right in seeking advice where he come and did you speak to them directly and listens to your complaints when you. you know your commute home and you're like oh my god i don't know what's next in my request. or you know how i you know enjoy i believe she believes that a reliable pass apply is something everyone should have access to because sometimes it's more dunder cost of a haircut but a matter of life or death. for him are you that the loss of the baby because there was no light and. so those 2 suspects are why this very basic.

and like it's something that millions of nigerians hope to one day be able to have . i think it's really sad that we africans are so used to power caps that we accept them as normal and we asked you our viewers how this is affecting you in your daily life let me read some comments he i'm hills direly says you remind going to hands of our plight from 2015 till 2018 we had frequent power cuts which we named saw literally flip on flip off day russia there as she says we have no light in cameroon it has become a normal thing. well we wanted to know more about the causes of this problem and so we sent our very own christine mon back to south africa and here she is with us rick abate from soweto johannesburg.

this 77 percent is in seoul which saw an hour round the world $800000000.00 plus people do not have access to electricity 3 quarters of those people are in africa so i'm joined by my panel today on this today st debates to discuss how we can bridge that gap and having everybody have access to electricity so i'm going to start with my 1st panelist here sheeple more just lay out the scene for us right so this is south africa just lay out the electricity supply issue. electricity distribution in south africa is currently more not polite by a one state owned entity called eskom and their very infrastructure that spans across the country and with that infrastructure they voyant on to connect over 90 percent of the south african population on to the grid now this is a fundamental shift from the connection or their rate of electrification pryde the dispensation of democracy in 1904 where we only had 50 percent of the population

connected to this very human guys faces in prison stripes the last 25 absolutely i do want to come see a rise because the electricity situation we open the discussion we talked about the fact that majority of this country is electrified right 90 percent now the 10 percent of people who don't have electricity most of them happens to be in roll areas why all rural communities ostracized when it comes to the supply of kinds of hiv fost continent with a local population density in certain areas ok so here in south africa the people are trying to reach one not electrified it's difficult to reach them with our existing solution which is the utility which means that we need to start focusing on new technologies and innovation solutions from africa for africa they can address these. pacific problems ok the problem with having international ekta is coming to africa and relying on them because they lack local insight that's why we need our local people who understand the situation better than anyone else we living in it to come forward with solutions ok so let's leave that they but i

wonder come over to you blood rufus because you are of the view that electricity nobody should have to pay for that explain that to us obviously right now with the status quo as it is right our government is failing right for you to have electricity you've got to have big pockets for it does help us understand just how crippling it can be when people don't have access to to see we're talking about something that the united nations has defined as a basic human right. ok it affects your cooking. it affects how you bump in the morning and it affects your health basically launch not enough for the human dignity ok to see you want to come in. so i wanted to touch on the health aspect as picked out rufus spoke about because you know there are some places where buy with buddy electricity the senate taishan doesn't work so

it's just so it just goes to show that this whole issue of electricity and overlaps into other areas that we also need to take into account we happen to be in a community here and so until. the government doesn't supply electricity people but people have gone on to have made what illegal connections just explain to us well how dangerous are these illegal connections they're extremely dangerous because they are sometimes way by the cable will be laid across the road and it's exposed and there was a community called great whereby we had cables live cables hanging across. the actual school where by kids actually were there and attended classes and it wasn't safe and it is next to their play area we actually play so it is very very dangerous for them ok i saw you wanted to come in they were going to have to keep training about things that the most important thing is that we need to learn how to train africans like you said you know create solutions for africa so i think that the best way to really speed it up is to encourage

a culture where we support our youth we train them up we develop them up we encourage them to be very creative and most importantly stay in africa and help africa because i think the biggest problem is we've got all our talent fleeing only you know oh right ok i'll come over and then i'm coming back at raise. yes wanted to quickly make a point about like leap frog and we've already seen africa like leap frog in terms of like technological infrastructure there weren't many like fixed telephone lines in africa but we saw africa really come through and you know take up telephones you know and phones have been like a key way for africans to stay connected so that is possible and you know the financial cost doesn't have to fall on individuals but that if we were to allow communities to collectively you know own. energy generation sources we can effectively transition away from fossil fuels and the proof is so you just

you're passionate about this you're an activist community are you convinced about what you're hearing and is this something that you would for example take into your community and convince people about look there's one thing that keeps ringing in my head. affordability affordability affordability that is my that is my biggest concern but. yes like i mentioned initial investment is a big concern for me if you walk into this household for example just behind me right as soon as you start talking money. that becomes a bit of a concern right theoretically. i see it working right track to me like he's been mentioned that education. but education is very key and it has to start from like you said from school ok one of the things that rufus talked about it is affordability but help us understand the urgency off this ride it's not

a nice to have do we want so what do we want to use fossil fuels help us understand as we as we close this discussion taking on everything you've heard i think the arguments have already been made because the costs of renewable energy has plummeted in recent years. it's a no brainer honestly for governments to actually scale up and renewable energy investments and really not to go for fossil fuel based energy generation the point i'm trying to make your is that our economies are going to be decimated if we don't act soon and ok so with those attacks soon if this is where we end today's street debate but of course this discussion doesn't entail we're so interested to know what you think about what you've heard today and perhaps how it applies to the country that you know and this is the street debate insulation it's been good having your company. thank you so much christine and everyone who took part in that debate if you want to see

not just in ivory coast but. in less than 10 years it went from being purely a hobby to being at the center of international competitions with big prizes up for grabs. i keep thinking competitive video gaming is starting to become a thing here the mindset has to change because video gaming is now an international industry the important thing about e-sports is that it has the capacity to attract huge audiences who come and watch a bit like other sports today some games going to track the millions of people who connect online just to be able to watch others play. while. the average salary of pro gamers around the world can range from $1000.00 to $5000.00 per month. the best of the best make even more. 1900 participants. top sports world championships shared

a $34000000.00 prize pool. in the street and is gradually providing more jobs african players are dreaming big. boys and i want to take it to the next level i don't just play to have fun or play to be the best and to be the best on must play again and again. here he can test his skills and compete with other game is around the world . globally the gaming industry has doubled in size in the past decade generated over $120000000000.00 in revenue last year alone. dick wants to build the biggest gaming community in africa he networked with local startups to help them identify the needs and promote their ideas on the local market. we're starting to see a number of local studios working in the gaming sector the main goal for them is to create content that reflects a constant. platform games like growth force and semblance which were made in south

africa or the action role playing game already and from coming rooms were huge successes for now the market is still small but thanks to gaming. this could soon change its message is clear africa has entered the game. so how's it going in your relationship right now our sex and relationship expert thinks the cold 1000 pandemic has put a lot of stress on relationships couples are fighting there's no more sex because one partner is depressed or has lost their job like you even has has some advice. i think it's pretty good likelihood for a pic of crazy what is it what's going on what's happening to me. we all know we can't take it anymore josh is driving me crazy to. ok the detail what's happening well you know we've been together for like almost

a yemen and everything was going great but once the lockdown started things just started to change with him especially after he lost his job. sounds like you reading and i can't imagine what you're going through is easy but i think what you're doing here just saying i've i've tried and tried to make him comfortable about the situation i'm still able to cover the bill but i just don't get it he's become so dead and he sits in front of the t.v. all day we haven't had sex in months. i just don't know what to do more have you tried having an open conversation with him because he didn't tell me why do you have what did i even you have got a problem there. that's a tough one but also quite common i mean i think josh might be depressed. maybe a form of intervention might get someone professionally preferably come to use that to have a conversation between the 2 view you know because you know some men struggle to open up because they think it makes them look we can we have the patriarchy to

thank for that maybe he feels like he can no longer act as the provider which also traditionally is expected of men. but he needs to learn that he still has that given time and opportunity to heal i think that's the best you can do but what if nothing changes oh oh if you refuse to listen then it's on you you have to decide if it's the kind of environment you want to foster a relationship with my father happen next time things go tough you need to take care of your own mental health too. i suppose that makes. but what about this the heck do you think. early last year my rapist is totally normal to lose your specs dr whitty of the brain from depression believe me but we're patient with him you know but in the meantime 2 you can meet your own me ok ok. ok that makes that ok enough about me how about you when you do

really oh i'm going late. oh. hey everyone hope you enjoyed that little skit if you have any questions concerning sex and relationships please don't forget to write into the 77 percent so next time from the cast goodbye. and we're not done talking about sex. i know it's a subject that is still much of it and i don't remember ever talking to my parents about it now in several african countries women are taught how to a long gate their lady it's supposed to make sex enjoy not just for the men but for the woman as well in rwanda we met one woman who was an expert in the traditional and controversial practice of. on the streets of kigali you wouldn't expect to hear the words clip. but you would if you follow the. you tube channel that doesn't shy away from to relating to sex or the female body. her expertise is

. the traditional practice of a woman's live yeah. i wonder but so many people are calling me with the break quest to talk about because there is a lot they need to learn i am here to help young girls with various problems how did you see. things problems in the bedroom sexual frustration and divorce playgroup wonder's modern urban society because mothers and aunties no longer have the time to teach their daughters traditional values so she's taking matters into her own hands. she runs you know workshops for young women and girls who each pay $150.00 euros over a period of $46.00 weeks in small groups the women learn how to massage and pull their. proportional measure for the lavi a menorah is your finger both lavey

a menorah ought to be this length you see. the wood you pull the lady one by one or do you pull both at the same time. for these women it's about male and female pleasure and most importantly about female ejaculate. which involves stimulating the critter as something men are traditionally. taught to do. a man must know how to move his palace upwards like that in this clip terrorists so that the water starts flowing making the vijaya wet. there is no scientific evidence that stretching the libya actually enhances female pleasure but many people here believe it. still. has its critics many young people argue that a practice which. should be her choice not because her husband or society expects

it. i think it's a good thing but again. if my wife or if my girlfriend wants to do it if it doesn't have any bad influence on her i support it but personally. i don't mind with her or revert. many students come here to prepare for an upcoming marriage some admit it was their husband's wish but whatever the young woman's motivation is that he has no trouble pulling her classes and her students appear to. have always wanted to visit kenya and it's a shame that i've never done bad given that i grew up in neighboring tanzania well for those of you like me who have never been to war here's a tour of the city by someone who knows very well.
