citizens outraged by government's failure to address water and sanitation issues about decades. so it advocates, precedents that are on pasa, can see that his government's failure to deal with the crisis dw, and use africa waiting to the worst effect that area in galton province from where the privilege machinery takes up the story. but it's a new, it used to be a mother of 3 here with the children until they call it a camera to how much crow 1st the disease killed has 7 year old daughter. and then 4 days later, it took a 9 year old son. status was to come to comprehend. hit loss will understand how his children court the disease from okay, why not? my suspicion is that they got toilet up from there. what distributed by truck on, on with my children never used to wander around in the community. they only played in the firm, but i am shocked to how they could def, contracted they call it
1:33 am
a little too quickly here. but pub, goodness, hulu is not alone. the residents feel powerless to this. what does that to you suspect that this the one is causing us for their credit pay? yeah. and watch a lot of people die you because of these merits, please. we asking for a couple of me to, to read it temporary to see what the hospital has been set up. you know, how must cross to kids for quite a patients for more than 2 the kids this community or how must correct outside victoria. so that's, i guess, administrative capital has struggled with access to clean water residents. i'm no use to leave a side by side with dump sites like this one know, call it or his hits, the community type. what was declared on safety drink more than 10 years ago.
1:34 am
now people are only drinking water distributed by trucks from bullhorn, but some see that the water could be contaminated to. so the obvious source is the rule. so spinning from drains down to streams that supply the main, what else will sees, you know, how much gra, while call it a has been called on in other parts of africa. it was never imagined that call it i would impact south africa, the most industrialized country on the continent. you know, how much cra, sewage is flowing every way, the residents here in greece and the government in the things that this situation is been neglected for too long. the man of the local, i'm in the study to sees it will take one set of effort to fix the problem. i am i have the discretion at the end of a long line of phases and excuses. the central problem is waiting. you source
1:35 am
the money to upgrade the fall, it's going to run into the buildings which exceeds the capacity of associates $1.00 load to undertake for people likes to play the suit that he's quote, come forth fixing the problem now one to bring his children back. know the dozens of people we have already succumbed to the disease from all of this last spring and leslie. patrick, profess off chemistry, how the university of the western cape, south africa. hello and welcome to the program. now you work with what our security and what top quality on the siege that is the science advisory group on imagine sees now say, says that the color are related, that's where a void level. so why away be allowed to happen? well, in south africa we have a really just off the state of the p as in terms of how senate session um most of
1:36 am
our wastewater treatment plants up for non functional. and unfortunately, that's the top of the as to that should have been checking that's not been taken and in fictions left, these people sprayed across the street. i mean, it's much bigger problem, isn't that because you also want to be why didn't collapse of what top treatment facilities across south africa. tell us really how bad is the situation the situation is wisdom is going to be my opinion because we've got really close to 90 percent of our wastewater treatment facilities that on, on functional or poorly functional and pleasurable to treatment system. so i'm, is any proof of the top of state of dilapidation and lack of maintenance. um, it just doesn't seem to be the political will to do something about ensuring that
1:37 am
these facilities, which also essential, are actually cared for. and my time clock that should be so is that how your, uh, put the blame on the government? seeing does no political will because that's the question i was going to ask. that's why has the government failed to address the issue to really in many ways the reason for it is that uh, budgets that are located on up spent property or st. mismanaged and that stuffs are not skilled or are included in positions which they not competent to actually be doing with the owner. this the consequence management people get away with absolute negligence and nobody called him to account. and the different government to park that stone told one another to account. so the department of autumn segmentation laptops to account by the department of health by
1:38 am
the department of environmental tease me. so i guess what you're saying is a lot that needs to be done on the administrative level of the government, but just to be clear, is it sets in that what talk contamination is the cause of this color outbreak. i don't if anybody can really check down the cause of the uh, brake and i think that's like trying to conduct to which front because some unfortunate individual might quotes the disease else. we've been brought to the team to south africa and dean of to that the virus effect curious fried to of wastewater because these most edible sanitation and a lot of if and go straight into rivers from which people think which people use. and i think trying to find the actual who's of the outbreak, his life. now we know that so back to we
1:39 am
exist. and that if you don't take public key with your waste for this is executive sort of thing that does happen right time because we've seen cases outside of golfing. that's not mean that is ease of spreading. yes, they seems to be bought a few outbreaks. the 1st one started to come and scroll, but since being, if being outbreaks in other seem to and one can only presume that people are traveling and speeding the bacteria stick that perhaps not everybody is a properly ill who you spoke to get, you know, while they're traveling on just doesn't know it's very well known that human saw the picture for this particular bacteria. ok, thank you very much. leslie patrick, profess off chemistry at the university of the west in cape south africa. now

1:41 am
but most of this i need to show infrastructure was designed for smaller populations . the growing number of people, it means with management system. i've grown me under the flow, but human risk can also be a valuable resource. like, oh, that's not just to that could be fertilizer. that could be animal feed, that could be a macro nutrients that the soil needs that could be fuel. there's so many possibilities. and so, and i know that we don't want to think or talk about poop because we think it's gross. but we need to remember it is a basic human necessity. just like anything else. that if we deal with it properly, it can be really useful. these restaurants in a robi, has been using the big catch for about 5 years. they see the big catch give them more bonds, same and directly. and that's also fuel. i mean, is the money to $360.00 degrees to some pizza in they will be very advantageous to us. they're very cost effective. their environmental spring,
1:42 am
d v. in terms of plenty to of production. let's see now why would improve as well as the sliver surveys really good and very list procedures, 90 percent of wasting stuff because not treated before being docked into entitlements, such as profile with management and practices. that's a piece where a waste is going about that into fuel. then i can get to engine my pizza in. these will be minutes normally times from why that be kept on me. and these will be kits. i even good deals for kenya's woodlands. most of them means less need to cut down trees for firewood. so from the pits of what goes in on one end, let's come out what's bad. you're watching dw news africa still to come. the african classical music for the world. we

1:45 am
or foundation scientists, isabella brew. it's parts of the team. harold was to take what the samples at various points for testing. in this tulip, poet bowed. she analyzed the worth of samples for several elements. in this small i borrow a tree. it depends on the places where we uh, if we are close to villages, for example, we will be collecting some samples for back to a logical checks if we are close to factories or industrial areas, we will be checking for heavy metals, for example, diagnosed with a bodies continued to be heavily polluted, largely from mining activities, money just of the what the resources see. many of them are in critical condition. jaclyn sand, about the divest, dating impact. my director of the water source of the southwest,
1:46 am
the river bodies pacific out the gas ethics is not as good because the level of the t squared high level settlement into the system. so you have high degree duty and climate change is also compounding the problem with somewhat of bodies drain out the window of what does that leave up with fluids and kind of contain it for several months. it's months because now it is with a shuttle to kind of roll into what to, within 2 months is dry. so in case of any droughts that is, so i mean induced job that is outside the normal cycle of drying and eh, feeling. then it means that we didn't, we just will just be in danger. direct a wants to continue to raise public awareness. and hope is that gun is what the ways one d, the free of all pollution. not just the rich words cost of quoting
1:47 am
the. now when you're thinking either and music you think after will be right. not surprising because that has a cheap, remarkable global popularity. but the same cannot be said for african classical music where opportunities will at is limited. and the chances of performing osland in an effort to change this, the best orchestra on oprah foundation, the home going initiative is dedicated to revitalize in classical music and nigeria, while these extra coma how small from lagos, the, it's the last you'll be hustles before the big nights,
1:48 am
members of the best that focus, trying to open up the foundation, performing at the finale of the after classical concepts series, illegals, the violinist, rustling. i mean you set up the foundation in 2016 to promote music by africa. classical composer and showcase african pallets. every culture has their own classical music and with this orchestra and with the foundation we set out to discover on classical music because of such a musical people africans. and for contemporary composers, you also have those who have been composing but have not will catch just to perform that much. so we take it upon ourselves to that classical music and nigeria has its roots in the colonial erupt. and it sees parts of the music curriculum bucket struggles to get heard above the sounds of modern pop or nigeria as p most ruby.
1:49 am
it's a real challenge for young colors. the main, your issue is work next of what the next. in fact, in terms of i might go into the plane, or am i going to find something else to do? this is, this is the majority issue. we are in the quadrants it's, it's what goes in to a lot of people mind. that's why you can't seem to go to a classical musicians then to go get jobs, go find something that was just to survive the best. the foundation wants to fix that by providing a stage and opportunities. the highlights of the season, ease of performance of a wet gmc bi nigerian composer ship. where's the expense of an upper sun given unit by language that tells the tale of
1:50 am
a soldier is told of for his failure to cook, a tasting it will be the nigerian staple. the music might have its roots in europe, but did the choice of language on the subject months to help nigerians connect think that, uh, the country were evolving and i think people can really get into this because for a b, c to the well. so this can also be to the world, the best that orchestra and oprah foundation has more concepts planned from up to, but each wants to bring more after your classical music to the white public. found goes to the new says the main goal is to establish a legal opera house for classical works of african heavy to the
1:51 am
round of applause for the best, the orchestra that had a very special round of applause. but it's found rosalie niece, who joins me now. you're about to see how fast she is. hello, rosalie, welcome to the program. so you want to mission to promote the music by african classical composes. why is that so important to because i'm in africa, we have a lot of music. beautiful music, not just i feel deep and high life. we also have folks music and art music. i think it's important that someone, some of us promote this sort of music to show what manner of variety you see like they exist in a musical genre on the continent. but as you said, we're not talking about apropos for highlight for his life will applebee's. but classical music in africa. is it really a cup of tea?
1:52 am
yeah, well i really the good life is a cup of tea. we enjoyed good things and why not also the expression of our people in the we never had before in an odd form in a very formal form, if you like, you know, presented in a way that we've never presented our music before. seriously, but at the same time telling a story which is the off part of the expression, you know, and it's something that has been very well received by audiences. classical music is known to have its origins from the western well. so what really is african classical music of the like the name says it's classical music by african composes and so you will have it in an african deal. and when you hear it immediately you pick it out. you say uh huh. this isn't typically your pam, the expression is different, which is needed. all cultures all over the world have their own form of music. and
1:53 am
it sounds similar to the classical music, but it is not quite classical music and i thought it would be important for the world to hear what comes out of africa. very soon we hope to move around the continental, soon as we have settled in nature of property, so to speak, when be the subject quite a catalogue of compose us, we will start to ask about some countries and compose us for this. i mean, look at the time one is trying to do with the spotlights on for in this case, i general music that is not very popular. that obviously challenges. can you tell us some of the main ones? yes. well, the, the biggest one of course is funding because art and culture isn't funded here in my part of the country or my thought of the world nigeria. and so we have some sponsorship to run our programs. we haven't found any, but we keep running our programs anyhow on our own. it's been very tough moving it forward and spreading the woods because we're not able to put certain things
1:54 am
together with p r and marketing and all of that tedious stuff. that costs what we, what we keep working on, we keep our trusting the right talent and the right composes, and which time we believe it will all come together. i like your optimism one of your games for i free classical music. there's 2 found on full for our house in lagos, nigeria, how would i be different from existing institutions on the continents of the well in west africa, we don't have enough for house in nigeria, for instance, we have a seat and national theater. we have carol culture where we started performing off the classical concept series and we have the musical society of nigeria. that'd be have stages. but you don't have anything that is dedicated, that is built specifically for the performance of classical music and opera. and so it's very difficult to perform these although the schools exist, the music exists,
1:55 am
the works exist, but we don't have the state for this. the isn't the technology. we have very small stages we perform now at the might have been with us and has the audience from set . and it's all very similar that the stage is quite small. and so we sent off for a house. we would, we're looking at including the entire community really because i know for a house is owned by a community of people. and this is, the goal is to bring people in on the vision of understanding that our music is a lot more than what we see now. there's a lot more expression for the african credenza said that better, really. and then the best the orchestra found. thank you. on all the best. and that's it really of you now with the best, the orchestra, the foreman or phone to tumble the by george b z. enjoy, bye for now. the
