trying to please as like when you reach out to the agent in that person with texas is asking what would be 7 percent with 60 minutes on k w a . what people have to say matters to us m. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d w. this is e w. news africa coming up on the show. demand for justice and accountability in south africa. 10 years off to a brutal police crackdown killed dozens of mining workers. survivors and families still can't find closure. no one has been punished for the murray ton of massacre. also coming up 6 women in somalia tell new stories the way they want to hear them.

changing the media scene and shifting its focus. plus, if a child gets a fever, many parents worry that it could be malaria. new research finds a way of diagnosing the severe cases and distinguishing them from even more dangerous elements. and is that the else? no, this is africa is said to have become the go to thoughtful sub saharan skids. ah, i'm really mohammed welcome to the program. it sounds like something out of the worst days during the error of whites only rule in south africa, poll workers striking for better pay and conditions gone down by police as they protest. but the killing of 30 mine, as in mary connor a decade ago,

doesn't happen under apartheid. but on the watch of the agency, government and official investigation is blaming police tactics. but nobody has been convicted of the crimes. thousands of people gathered at the scene of the massacre in murray khana to monk. what they say is the decade of injustice. families lay flowers at the site where they loved ones were shot dead, and they're still demanding answers. and accountability did ably is asia increase, travel to marianna and sent us this report. it is hard forms are called omega d. wanna to come back to this place where his life was changed forever. is very bad for me, said ashley. it was very bad to me because i saw dag. is it the t in which coming to meeting up teen the pain? i felt grandma is the same as if the earth or which going to be coming to mind

darkness. oh, i saw someone get shot right in my head. i come brain a lottie la e lees it something lee, but i will never forget to enter new berlin if it them. yeah, morgan it is. are you doing and is, and in the about it never forget. in any time, the mary kana mine sits on rich deposits of platinum, a precious metal of which the mine workers say they see precious little profits. long and years ago, a bitter strike broke out. there was deadly strife between the union. when 2 police officers were also killed, the state responded with brutal force in front of rolling cameras. 3 police unleashed a hail of lead on the protesting minus killing $34.00. police cheated, says dramatically and were forced to eat

a less maximum force to defend themselves. that is a lie, sessoms apollo maga, d wanna. he was one of those shots seen he in the green sweater hits by 9 bullets. he also says it's a miracle that he survived, sir la. quinta, windsor gale ylanda. ever since. that incident soon enough, i saw myself as someone that nobody cared about regarding it. i feel like a slave in the government was supposed to be looking after me. holler, but they didn't plan john next to the copy where the minus where massacre to there's a settlement of tin that's it was maggie the one us home for many years. people here have seen practically nothing of the rich resources extracted from the region lower than the seller will. yeah, you and under and like i or your game, does she get the benefits or the rich guy bondo, about the people who are living here, let you not benefiting yet benefit of land now? and then if i buy the living conditions on,

won't be bent on if the tobacco valuable and out employer will ne bed or i gaze here. so let me when you guys get there daily, we are struggling to p no longer be. it's just getting worse, left nan door. we have an improving would be about the day an alarm as nothing changes in our life yet by weight. we don't see anything. she'll j able lou? yes, it would be better if we at least got social housing only the proper toilet. squiggly regularly added the p. no toilet isn't. that is bad. one, b, my la, 10 years of betrayal. that's the bitter balance drawn by the union. smarter for the memorial, the widows of the slain men have new homes and new jobs, but dozens are still waiting for compensation. there's deep anger at the authorities and the police because no one has been brought to justice for the crimes committed. no, we're running hunting down the went i've given them hiding in the glades and

under the logs trying to cover themselves. but the police came and handed them and shot them again. i don't know. i saw a boy some ending it was in it for days. no apology that was extended to their families. there is no accountability. there was no justice. it's the fight for justice that still drives them. zacalo maga, d y, now he battled heart with a mining company to get himself a flat and a celery again. despite the trauma and constant pain, which he can only manage with medication me up to 50 percent off south africa, because no one to keep survive. that might make the issue about too many, many times or only me and 50 says, i'm powerful man. that is why they're people of america now you caught me that dead

men walkie ish means me. i'm strong strong enough to continue the fight for justice, for compensation and for fare, living conditions for all the miners and families of america. well let's get more on this and speak to mom or get the more piano. she's a policy and economic analyst, specializing in mining and labor. she joins us from brits in north west. south africa is good to have you with us here on the w news. now we heard the minus union, they're calling this anniversary 10 years of betrayal. has there been any accountability? there hasn't been accountability at all. instead, what we have seen is key. act us up. there were deeply involved in the tragedy shift to accountability and not one to take responsibility. we have also seen, we have fallen commission that was specifically set or to get to the bottom of what led to the tragedy. really not come out to very clear direct wording that

says certain people are responsible for this to have happen. but instead it gave recommendation of what it more like a remedial exercise really should know in shut. there really hasn't been accountability tenuously. there are many questions that have not been answered. now, so africa government says that it has paid out almost $10000000.00 to the families so far and that it aims to settle all outstanding claims by the end of august. what more are you calling on the government to do? well, i'm calling the government to formally apologize to publicly state that or what happened was a tragedy that shouldn't have taken place in the 1st place. because in a matter of employee and employee engagement, industrial relations, one does not know why where the police involved. and secondly,

it's quite critical. i think that the government gives a very clear position of what apologizing for the trogie that has happened and by the government. one of these and you can see lead government, a for that matter. and many of these minors has said that despite the reparations their lives haven't improved, can you just talk us through some of those social and economic conditions that many of these people are going through? oh absolutely. i mean sub africa, it's currently going in a slow growth face at the moment of its economy, even before that. many of the mine where it has the communities are on the mice, in an informal settlement called in gunning their lunch. that's not really change. tenuously. they're still more basic services. are tenuously tied, the social labor plans of the mining companies that are active operating in that

environment have not really yielded the results it once it is meant to be, in other words, believe in conditions of people around the area of america. and the informal supplemented the community of america has not had any improvement in their lives. now more generally, how wide spread is this issue when it comes to exploitation of poll workers by industries who are profiting from africa's mineral wealth is quite widespread. it's not unique to south africa throughout the continent. and mining is built in the economy of mines such that it is always been not just an extractive industry, but also extracting the 10s of the amount of labor extracts out of workers and the amount of exploitation that it does on mine. where it has more like bodies in this instance. so we, it, it is known historically need continues to be that there is always going to be

the way mining industry is able to re invent means of production such that it ex, that's as much so plus video out of minus in and, and blake bodies throughout the continent while compensating them as little as possible in comparison to the kind of compensation it pays where it has in developed countries in other parts of the world. so in the short term, what changes would you like to see much more strict policy into, in terms of a simulation for mind work us much more strict are and follow up policy in terms of the social li by implants, because it's not enough for the sector don't pay by an approved by government, but there must be enforcement of them. and the quick taking away of the license in mining rights, if companies or the industry as not to meet those social commitments they have made

for social labor plans, but also a government that equally takes responsibility by provide 2 basic services to people in communities that have mining activities such that it doesn't become a burden that falls on mining companies as a way to provide basic services. i do think this is critical that government continues to be able to provide basic services to the people, even around communities and not on not wait for mining companies to undertake their social economic responsibilities. ok mama kathy, while i can, i thank you very much. indeed for your time. ah, they're watching the adobe in is africa still to come? we had to wintery slopes of less to, to whisk is, are enjoying the only free style,

snow park in africa. but 1st i'd like it to meet nath stream it for him. she is the chief editor of belie media and she is part of a team of 6 women who make up some aaliyah's. first of all, female newsroom. they're working to address issues, often considered too sensitive for public broadcast and challenging social norms that put women and girls at a disadvantage. nashville mohammed deborah, he miss out on her beat shooting video. her latest story for bella media is a profile of a teenager who happens to be a mother now back in the classroom to continue her education. teen parenting is a topic that other somali media would never cover the land, which is the miley for bright and clear are on the job. we're villain media at belen media, we focus on stories that are crucial for the somali communities we live in with.

gary, the stories are about experience as people think in normal, but these are issues that are not investigation properly. congress if it were to be investigated and broadcast longer than we might find solutions for the future. had they been uncle, also side of the highly had a little more for lead the restroom bullet or laugh in a conservative muslim country like somalia, being a female journalist is a challenge. nazarenes team is made up of 5 women reporters in charge of every stage of a story from research to interviewing to camera work to editing their gender often gives these journalists unique access when talking to people about happier topics, like sexual and domestic violence or workplace harassment. about 80 percent of their output is about such issues. topics they say people are often too ashamed to discuss. and i will tell samaya that donna and egg has female somali journalists. and we encourage an advocate for the rights of voiceless women in our were she,

that anthea crucial what i mean car, the former or full battle for white glove somalia has yet to pass its 1st sexual offences. bill though it's been in the work since 2013 perpetrators are rarely prosecuted, and victims can face a backlash. so it can be hard to get women to speak up a mikaela theory of boucher that only got the height on a hunting. got a hallock though, mckuddle has like a great start up the side especially for women. so it tries to cover the needs of women, although because it gets voice to the voiceless night and focuses on the stories of hon. women. so i think that's really important right now. i'm a shuttle that i said boucher almost on the needle nazarene and her team only started their work in april. but they've already shown what is possible when women have the power to decide what stories they want to tell and how they want to tell them to get it. so how much of a challenge is it to be

a female journalist in somalia? i put that question to 40, muhammad ahmed, the deputy chief editor of belie media. in mogadishu. there are a lot of delegates been with the show, especially when that female job is to act it out deeper into from a min. because a, in our society, when you got out for whacking, they just see something like a strange out or funny thing. they say, oh, you're done, you all could do it. this is not good for you. does not yours, this is top diss. and the other thing is say our, our, our, our parents is michelle, is somali parents they don't leg. female general is the say, oh please, can you change who idea? so what kind of issues are you trying to address that might be considered taboo in somalia and how is that being received there just we have a lot of e,

he's so just in, in, in poland media example. last week we population day, the that deck uses in somalia is specially for for young females. and all the people they know what bad is it to that to the, to the, to the are young people is be silly, is be silly. female dan, our, our, our community, they don't know what's going on that i, what does this, and the other thing is we publish a day like it stood as for the 80 piece, aiden, i, the out of the, of the c. t in mogadishu. there are a lot of e mothers and children would then have trust because when the, when the going to dig and this know you squeeze. so we have a lot of feet is the sort of in our society we in new to tell to

that to the people. now, a report published last year by the national union of somali journalist revealed that a female jonas said that they faced sexual and gender based violence which has negatively impacted their professional development. so what's being done at the moment to make sure that they're safe and able to do their jobs. sometimes it can happen. it can happen part day, most of the time, not because if you want to do this job, i need you new talk to piece chunk person. you can face some delancy from the society of, from the colleagues or from that the people in the way you got to talk to, to do they study. so you know, to, to, to be strong. and do worry for your safety when you go out and,

and tell stories sometimes yes, because it just me the unit is a unique in somalia. and when we go out to do wag some of our community, the he said when the where you from will and media, what is the bill? and when we explain was 1000000000 on what doing this. they just say please it's, it's good to have some some, some mentally does a while you, i just, 6th female, a on. so we have, we have been some times and they said please, can you have some other men to, to work with you guys. so been on as seen as a way for women to reset the narrative in their societies in somalia. how far are you prepared to take this and where you see below ongoing in the future?

yes, it did. it did you want to do it you, you can have some jellies. we know the challenges. so we just came from our society, our colleagues, our clients. but we are going to to, to, to, to do something different from what we have before in so many journalists. okay, good luck to you, fatty mohammed, and thank you very much indeed for taking the time to speak to the w news africa. thank you, my dear. oh, when a child falls ill with a fever in sub saharan africa is always the fear that it could be malaria. but not all fever diseases are transmitted by a mosquito bite and some of the others mistaken for malaria are more dangerous. children who are falsely diagnosed when they're sick with something else, are more likely to die when it comes to malaria is africa's children who are

suffering the most of all the cases of a disease measured by the world health organization on the continent, 80 percent, or among the under fives, but it's not always simple to figure out who really is ill with the parasite. new research conducted at the university of oxford suggests about a 3rd of cases diagnosed in children as severe malaria are actually a completely different disease. lots of these children who get diagnosed as having severe malaria, actually don't hosted in larry, and they will so they'll get to it now get treated with an answer millerio, anti malarial or drugs, the only kill malaria parasites. they don't work on other diseases. many children thought to be suffering from malaria are actually infected with bacteria, which caused sepsis, an illness that used to be called blood poisoning. the bacteria, just worse than seminary, is a score higher mortality. i mean, to me,

malaria is back, but at least it's treatable. you know, if you get given drugs quickly it's, it's treatable children with acute bacterial substance need immediate treatment in hospital with on to bio tics. and he missed diagnosis could mean a delay. and these children are more likely to die. so the research has looked for clinical signs of malaria in more than 2000 patients. both adults and children from uganda, kenya, and bangladesh. malaria is caused by a parasite, passed on by mosquitoes. when the parasite bursts his protein is released and the blood scientist looked at how the levels of this protein correspond to how severe the case of the diseases. we tried to sort of assess this problem by using a bi markers which you can measure in blood which to,

to try and understand, you know, how many of these children are actually getting missed diagnosed. and they are in mrs. and it's in the, in the concepts of clinical studies of similar ah, dr. watson also looked at the level of blood platelets in patients with severe malaria and found they had both low levels of platelets and high levels of parasite protein in that blood. scientist say the platelets are especially important. this is quite nice because it's a standard in here in to see that you that you measure in, in the hospital as a most hospitals, even in low recent settings, will have a machine. the commercial accounts ah, the other indicator parasite protein levels is harder to measure. that scientists hope, given time, existing blood tests for malaria could be tweaked to include it until then the world health organization says all children being treated for severe malaria should

be given both antibiotics and anti malarial. and while much of the northern hemisphere is sweltering in the summer heat, let's take you to the chill of winter in the tiny african nation of lesser to is the only country on earth where his entire territory is at least a 1000 meters above sea level. and one rich top is more than 3000 meters above sea level, making it the go to spot for skiers in southern africa. i up close, it's got the look and feel of resorts and the lp's are the rockies 1st rate rides and slides from a bit further back f risky copico snow park is a nice hill to practice for the steeps elsewhere or ok. i need a nice hill to learn the basics of skiing and about all the how snow works,

so that when the so thank you, doesn't worry to get to lisky over. you do not worry. i've been seeing a lot of ads on youtube, and i just thought, i really want to try back. i've never seen snow in my life. so this is really against me. half risky is africa's only operating ski resort south of the equator. it pulls primarily from south africa, which completely surrounds less due to going on. it's not this being love and then other than just not been. so we are a small skiing nation. so if it's the international ski federation, do give guys training. i'm like facilities and invites us to come from the is a big field of local the situ scares, which is awesome to see it's grand, every single year. it is more and more and more. but yeah, majority would come from south africa. this is wafa season, embodying the southern hemisphere, america. what my father, i tell him a subject that i got to write a big deal about in the super slow. where ever the all come from one thing they get

to say. they went skiing and africa with that. so for now be sure to check out our other stories on d dot b dot com. forward slash africa are also on facebook and twitter. i'm really mm hm. it's for me. and the entire scene, i said, watching i ah ah, with
