south africa. the infamous fixture, which tends to right next to hill bro was once asked because 1st vertical urban, the skyscraper has missed several appearances in some hollywood films such as resident evil, and check. the extensive apocalyptic image attracts phones director for the to know that this building comes from the substitute error. the tab will open in 1975 as a focal point of appearance during the goals in south africa, however, plenty fell into the hands of the drug dealers, kansas pins and prostitutes in one of the most inspiring regeneration projects. on the continent, young advocates for in the city johannesburg, captains from the infamous tell us and to america, with thousands of visitors from all over the world. 24 year old grand mobile currently leads the projects serving the history of this housing skyscraper. they used to be about 8000 people that lived here, and they used to chop all the rubbish into the middle of the building. and there

was 14 stories of freebies that was passed up yet in the middle. and as you can see now, it doesn't look that way that building has been picked up very nicely. and we have an opportunity to actually bring people here on tours to see the beautiful inside of the printer, thomas landline j, which means just play is hulu is more than just a tourism company. it also has the community center on the ground floor, which provides a safe space which we are doing the they come here for free and the funds on the activities that take place here by uh, the choice that you guys come to. so we're able to provide kids with home with precipitation. we're able to and headphones has come in every day to teach the kids at defense skills. born in the d. r. c teenage guide of arrows,

she cup i grew up in hill bro, lunch. it provided him an opportunity to escape the rug to the city streets. same facility that these kids went through it as the safety law so that i went through and now i'm able to do this towards and also give back to the community the same way week, even back when it keeps me architect road me. prescott design it off market space with over $400.00 apartments, posting retail shopping on the ground level, something almost unheard of. 15 years ago. his daughter still remembers the building when her father designed it. in fact, it was advertised as the kind of grevious space to be in. all of the apartments were furnished. and i mean, i remember coming here as a child and seeing the carpet on the roof is going up in the duplexes, which i thought was just the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. the skyscraper is now inhabited by middle and working class people from all over africa. slowly the

point to is shutting off its reputation of silence and thanks tourism becoming a beacon of hope for many. oh boy is adamant at lunch. it creates genuine opportunities with kind of freaking use in the country with growing sort of food here and not just promoting poverty porn. i grew up here and for the fall guy to challenge it also grew up in this neighbor. so we don't look at this as sort of his him, but then as us showing people our neighborhood and we are, our goal is to build bridges and creates and understanding on what's hooper is. and because he does that to be at the opposite of what provides the point is john j has welcome over 25000 visitors since 2012 and has high hopes for the future. and high hopes for the future is exactly what our next story shows. 10 years ago, a $1010.00 to shillings that's about $6.00, could easily get me

a month shopping. now the same amount with barely get me enough shopping for 2 weeks. the cost of living has gone so high that young they will be and have decided the city is no longer going to break their hats. so they're moving away from the city and the closer to the food source. let's follow it is to money and find out whether this plan worked. on a cold warning in the outskirts of ne ruby laptops, not to the apartment, the trends, melody 10, i got and move to the share, the 3 creative onto bring us, take the time to catch up as the prepare breakfast. and of course, the record, the experience for social media just over a year ago, the 20 something year old chose to relocate outside the capital as a way to save money and to escape the 16th kills. however, the country, we simply doubled the tax and fuel increased health insurance and introduced the

housing levy. these changes have thrown the house switch plans, of course, and now they're making some tough decisions. when we get like a really good giggled, we get really good income. we shuffle many things in bulk, so that's a decision we had made in advance schools where like things like oil. we do reach about to just invest now, buying bulk and have it for months. the cost of electricity clean up maybe would be the same rent medical of having discussions amongst themselves to the um, notice comes up to say like, okay, it may be cheaper. it's else looks to quite fun and things are going higher. so maybe it's just better. we don't size and move, but today will be, so that's been on the list. so it's something we actually planning to do, hopefully this month or next month. as the increased cost of living is also affecting the interactions with $1.00 another. obviously when people are living together, as you are as a family and running a business as well, that can usually be some tension because of money. has that happened to you guys?

yeah. but at the end of the day we learned how to communicate. i can't express how we haven't gotten to better these. that's communicating whether we are facing, whether it's at work with us a month, then something wrong. we've gotten to a place where i can have a discussion about each and the twins. it went to make one of us went to move with the next month. the financial pressure for young people in the country is being felt beyond this apartment, latest government, because we view that the highest number of those unemployed in kenya between 20 to 24 years old. for those, it's limited options. and to government protests have become a critical way to get the voices hud for tgm eliza. however, the response to the toughening economic times has been to get tough with the couple of photographer and may come on just having to dig deeper to keep the business afloat. has that changed or you having to put

a more capital just to keep the business funding? definitely because um that's some cheap meeker products. sure. like over the counter products that you get to select isn't really worth how you want to make up to look. so i'd rather go like, just spend a lot of cash, extra cash, and just to get, you know, products that's much more worthy of like just i don't want to mess up people's faces and do your clients. and those times you, when you raise the cost of some, some of them don't understand, but other people question, you know, of course, like can you just discount you know, but know, like, i feel like i be understand regardless, cuz everyone is everybody has to raise the rates in this economy that way you're going and coming back to the sort of domestic setup. when you guys moved out and moved in together, you obviously had some ideas of what you would be doing together. your time spent. maybe going on holidays have some of those things have to adjust because of just

how things are in the economy. yeah, some of the things are just wanted to be, you know, just thinking about how you have to save you money and moving around. now you really don't want to look at the luxury things and say, oh, i'm going to go to this and then come back home and worry about rental you bought food. cuz obviously the money is not enough to do both that things. and even when it comes down to things like equipment, you know, all the heavy tech solutions and stuff that's been going on around you can, is making it so hard to bring insights cuz you end up being a crazy, crazy what fee. and on top of what you're paying for the gates of which you, most people know that photography and you have this, it is extremely expensive. so it's been spent. most of the couple has now decided to go into retail opening and online shop itself, jewelry as a week to supplement that income for them, waiting for government or things to get easy. it is not an option. all right, thank you again, bye bye. so that we have it,

the 3 of tv and these uh who would like to you now have been able to retain that own home and live independently right now. but i'm going to speak to a young person who tells me he also have to move cities as well as houses and move back to his mom's house. because of how, how does things have gotten economically for them? we meet market, you tongue just as he arrives, like he's real estate office place is so dusky, honestly. yeah, it's i buy the road. so if the truck, every car, every, everything that passes by you just copy of the dust into a space. it's going to have to live with it. he's been working here for a few months since he moved back to a ruby after his contract job in another city came to an end. as a shows us, he's a new neighborhood. he tells me things have been really slow. this transition has been anything but some for the 27 year old. i'm trying to establish myself, i'm getting over here on the rental space. i used to have the price was almost one

and a half times higher. so i had to look for somebody, a different somebody a i couldn't afford. so that's why i found this space here in the longer. and now i'm trying to establish my self or gaining day that the assist space and hopefully make enough clients to, you know, keep my plans on track over and above making considerations for your business. you also have to make some tough decisions regarding your housing. tell me about that when you are leaving under your, your partner and through these notes there's a lot, much new way to do what you want. so, you know, in terms of like relationships and, you know, friendships and, and situations of this. so it's kind of helps, you know, create your own space and your own nice, why you don't have to, you know, be looking heads of your fire. and so you know, you do your thing and then when it comes to and to be c be so that goes on my house and this is how you are made by them. you kind of have to do that before we say goodbye to mock. he takes us for a game of pool. most of the people who come here, i john jump list my show their life is

a struggle the whole day please so that they can get something to support their family with basic necessities like paying house rent, phenomenal k, which up and come here. we can practice play until the d, and so when you play here, you're forced to leave the house, then you make friends. in fact, i met this guy here, so we stay connected. as we leave, it's apparent that despite the stories of hardship, the commitment from young people to do one thing by the thank you it is and our lovely, narrow bins. so showing us how the a dealing with the rising cost of living. now from canyon, we head over to guy know where we meet a young man went from hol, can watches on the streets. to owning one of done is what you brands. you can buy, he's watches for up to $1000.00 us dollars. a true story of humble beginnings. so how did anthony is that mess it may suit his history?
