[000:00:00;00] the, this is the, the news african coming up on the program house in crisis. how can, can you address a shortage of 2000000 low income homes? we take a look at how some of my boobies homeless people like guessing by and explore some of the challenges and options i had as kenya stab and population groves class. how remote workers are re shaping the housing markets in cape town. the government is welcoming them, but some locals, i'm not. so pain will find out why. also i had a jubilant for attendance office. we'll gun as president elect john muhammad, as the country bottles on economic prices will examine what his victory means. but

one of africa's model democrats and bringing images to lights meets the other mates as it was on the beach, helping them hard children to express themselves, moving the hello there i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. you may be lucky enough to have a room full by your head, but not everyone has that luxury in kenya, the countries facing the critical house in the shortage with the deficits of nearly 2000000 units. now any of this you have, the governments passed the controversial levy, the forces employed canyons to contribute 1.5 percent of the income towards the house and construction. it claims that this levy would finance the construction of $200000.00 affordable houses annually. but how realistic is that and what will be

affordable enough for the thousands of homeless people on the margins of poverty used either tamani reports from night will be a mechanic like training unable to get better known s t spends most of his time with friends. these days that the 2 year old lost his job unexpectedly and for the last 2 years, he's been homeless. the sudden and dramatic change in keys life let him here to my battery, one of kenya's oldest slums and to a very different life. we had, we had, it's hard, it's hard. it's very, very hard. hideous. like when you, when a capital c thing, you'd rob a sleep hungry but at least have some way to sleep. well, of shelter is a priority because you don't know what could happen to you when you're out here. when i'm with the receives out to you the diseases for the police. no, i've never also the a known somebody

o d u i t needs 11 years a month for rent here, but he's rarely called to fix cause these days. so food is all he can afford. it's getting dark and the clouds have gathered. green is inevitable. everyone rushes towards the homes is due by command. t leads us to a shack where a friend is allowing him to stay. the shack is down and dock a team. those who have to pay something are leaving a few days. so he keeps his things ready. in this environment, he has no control allowed. there were 2 of us who were sleepy, but the friends come over, we welcome them. he was well the following day, they will be homeless, wake up before dawn. according to sex for one most sleep fully dressed and the overalls and shoes ready for work during the day. it's estimated that some 300000

people in can you leave this week? so people like just 3 euros a day, can be the difference between living on the streets or here in a windowless room with nothing but a bed and mattress. the clothes vendors sometimes finds the money. sometimes he doesn't life on the edge of homelessness. it's easy to get stuck in miss routine. you look some money for food under room. if you buy drug saw alcohol home, that's all you get on your money is gone. just like that. so we're back in my diary to look for teeth who we're told might be in the local drinking den. here we find the owner, doreen who offers headspace to those with know where to go. this is a life i've experienced, so i don't judge anyone. i give them somewhere to sleep, so when they get out of here,

they can help others. how customers ask us to tell their stories, knuckle for the heat that we have problems like we've never seen before. and how we my, my house is what demolished and everyone was asking where we could go. we still don't know what to do, but god bless this woman. the during then can sleep up to 9 men, and she has been one of them in the past. but tonight she's fortunate to have somewhere less crowded to sleep, at least for now. let's get more from mary. i'm a minor that consultants in town planning and data and allotted successful african towns and cities. hello and welcome to the program. that's critical house instruct agent. can you some reports suggest that i'm asked to meet that 300000 people

homeless? tell us more about what is driving this a good, thank you very much. and so some of the challenges that come around creating other homelessness. you can't use the such that the growing population does not have adequate housing. that is affordable. the right locations area to days would need to lead. so you're trying to get to us to access your. you're also ent housing. that in your budget, in this town. so too much do you mind into the flag created for the shows that make sense is a that too high, or they just let you know how to investigate physicians of homelessness, a lot of different positions, right? which we, we saw in our report. so to try to address the house in crisis, the governments introduced a controversial house in levy to continue collecting a 1.5 percent off of work is monthly pay right? um the levy is intended to pay for the construction of 200000 affordable housing for poor rock canyon speech. yeah. how realistic is that?

the child in the i think comes in when the levies. oh, there is a too much for the what? cuz not too much in terms of the technicians that it's happening population. but at the same time, how long would it take for these limited defense january? it's kind of how the numbers are causing, but i need it. so most of it in it's challenges, you're hitting, the market to the technician is already too high. so people having tasks to be can be a right addition. i mean, even though the policies can support the production of housing usually doesn't have been fussed already. that housing does not end up being a series of appropriately. they know people that being taxed to produce more housing. so show the governments just build free houses for people as the housing book comes, if it's a different problem, but you will, like you mentioned the key, chatted when people talk about housing. hopefully that be the question is,

how do you make housing affordable to households? number one, you can make them, you can raise income so that people can afford the housing. that's what we did or didn't give trying to build more houses. and the question is, who is able to fund the houses that you're building? but this is what i would not think use the government trying to declare the rules of housing reduction. because number one is not necessarily a problem with the sense of what mass housing programs and number 2 governments that i've tried to build moines more houses and you find that you can never deal with enough housing as a government funded. continuing to happen in the cities in the counties. so it wasn't exactly built for the houses, i think is perhaps the quotes that housing markets the see can you share some, you know, practically initiates this, that could help solve the house in crisis. so yeah, thank you. and i think we have is 2 minutes to cover the coverage tons of

investment happening after density. so you're going to do like memorabilia where you, oh, there is nothing in the labels in give some joiners, but what do you see? use the lowering the housing markets that and watching how some of the risk, but the housing markets, rental like it to never be. for example, that either of us is telling us perhaps the very low income households to that, that'd be enough to access until because even better. so was national governments are trying to come up with, let's get policies, which is what i think housing. finally, housing maybe easy to punctuate, exercise treatments, generic housing, what you should do, i think it's a government to look at these conditions and see what is the housing markets that will be, for example, these 90. anybody have us in the rentals and then on these policies should be leveraging government policies to improve visual market 16, the apologies. so that is to begin to use that much, is that idea to see what is happening with the rental?

that is making people that are able to afford how to resolve. fortunately to associate, that is to ensure that colleagues market to be improved, for example, high equity to a cold, but affordable rental. so as opposed to trying to change this, it is a to how they agree, it's coming mission way, be out and impose them and make them want based off of the low income households, easy to use. i think those are the strategies that she does that are trying to do that uh, moving costs over at least getting closer to reading the ability to go back to give that option to an entirely new place to use that's up against the kinds licensing the city thanks a lot for your time, mary. i may not be able to end in town. fine and have on day 10 on it. it takes full african towns and cities with pegasus group. thank you very much. i for now, cape town in south africa is also facing a house in crisis. the arkansas ends, the influx of weston remote workers, west and in this situation by driving up property prices,

the so called digital know months and in foreign courtesies, given them on the edge of a little goals in the rental markets. instead africa's new 3 visa for remote workers, contract even more of them out into consensus about affordable housing. did of use diane whole kind of how small big town is one of my favorite destination i've ever worked from. and that's really saying something cute and i am finally here. check out my apartment for the next 6 weeks on line testimonials like this. show how many digital nomad went to live and work in tape. and who wouldn't want to relocate to one because most beautiful city streets of keen in the city center. people can enjoy walks along the sea point from an odd and public transport is easily accessible and abundance of cat phase restaurants and co

work spaces. also make it easy to promote you a citizen, quote me simone. make cape town home for 3 months this year and hopes to make the city a regular destination. she runs a travel and adventure business remotely, often working from the phone like i get, i feel like you have so much variety and again, the opportunity to meet so many cool people as you're working or as your networking or just trying to get a vi for the city of cape town, stunning location is also part of the problem with the city is flanked by an ocean on one side and the mountain on the other. this means all calls and travelers all compete has space in a narrow patch of land and those with dollars and yours,

a winning the contest. the suburbs closest to the city center. those closest to table mountain have become some of the most expensive suburbs to live in, not only in cape town, but in the country as a whole. would stuff is one such so that it was once low income neighborhood. now, apartment buildings a spring up on every corner, mostly catering to a growing know, met market. here a one bedroom apartment costs about half of the average monthly salary rates for many locals. the housing prices carries the stock in mind of the pot take year with black and brown, people will only allow to live in designated areas. it becomes very difficult for us to find property because now if either of these little property or the party is very expensive, is also creating that certification and segregation between people. because now

it's not about the color of your skin. it's all about what money you have, but the awesome people working to fix the problem. like the development action group, the n g o advocates will housing policy changes that favor create to inclusive community. this is why we need to re lease land and year mark land at the end of the fours, affordable housing so that people can exercise and close the economic opportunities and public transport and know it's a balance because while digital no meds may bring much needed money into the local economy, residents of cape town say changes must be made to ensure the city remains the home . so gonna is preparing to wash out in

a new government after joining my home is victory in last week's presidential election. the change comes at a crucial time gonna is experienced and it's whereas the comic tension in years despite maintaining its democratic stability. expectations are high, but am i how my promises he will bring gonna reset it needs celebrating a new dawning gonna support as of john jermanti. mahatma welcome to news of his victory in last week's presidential election. they've given him the mondays to relieve them of that current troubles and in his woods to reset, gone to mamma 1st became head of state in 2012 after the death of president john mills, whom he served as vice president. and he's relishing the opportunity to return to the seat of power that they turn the river others because i

learned however, we had the 10 minutes of work together with you to build the government. we weren't mama was himself criticized heavily for the c. v. a power cuts and alleged growth of corruption during his previous presidency. it's exactly why the people voted him out and rejected him again on his 2nd attempt at a return to the top job. but now the 3rd times a charm good. nance have decided in the current context of economic town, while the john mama is the man to spark change. last spring in franklin called you the guardian political commentator and found out of the money sent out for policy. and education. hello sir. welcome. so former presidents and now president elect joined my home. i have

a lot on his plate. no doubt. he's promised to fix the economy and restart donna. what would that look like as well? thank you for having the um, i in these days when you use the word reset. uh, how many be some of the things i think of the oh, just just on base your kind of. i suspect that the, the one to where we set to reset the reset, this use the lives to the, the kinds of governance with which less but which, which are called and really, really, really surprised by the model of defend of human rights. and indeed, the someone who jumped on the columbia grad school doctor need us to give this to those days. and so when, when, when the best them, why am i sees a reset reset? their private means that we'll, we'll, we'll know, we'll try not to mention this alternative to replay those. dr. peter, it's a game now. and so for me is that is that we should really a governess and then probably even back on the right. of course it cannot be more than 12. uh, the reason that says that it says it says, i mean it looks like

a reset to the hold up enough to get that try again. and then maybe from there will be too long on one to some of the lots are only allow me as a complex, right. and right. i mean, obviously the economy is definitely the key. all you know, the list of things that he should do. number one, definitely the economy. i mean, he's talking about that 24 hour economy. maybe that's part of the plan that would help you know, that's, that's all we start the whole country. but, you know, we've already established that this will be my home, this fast time, us precedents. what lessons do you hope you have lens from his previous administration because it was all smooth. it wasn't the way he spoke to gun. yes, i saw one when he was excited as a spring there said he meets us, that most most wretched, redone and youtube does not have the balls. he also wants to be said, he's not, he's

a bad tooth and that people keep complaining and are going to use the fitness at some point in time. and for those of us who are just besides that he goes along. so i suspect you never ever go back to them again, but on the, i think clearly speaking on a government has to be the judge you, but i think the change by come on me by the way, it's about policy. i mean, i see the region of d and the fall conditions and reduction in boxes. they do that. that was the cost of doing business being high taxes and i'll just read the been real garcia and nutritionally being high. if they're gonna do something about that, i mean, we gotta begin to brief, some sort of fresh it go speak, then use us for kids. remember, don't access that to you. of them i called right. all right. and just do while i'm genes, unity and i think you're going to be minded use to reduce them by how we're not stuck to basically the process of reset. and then i suspect also that it needs to

work hard from the beginning of the side of things because you need the need to be able to, to be able to, on the, on the site from all these things by some of the people would need, should by when people use like the spring would have to have some rebates. right? right. so what have to wait? what am next for? yes, is going to be like, but can you think is what is the next and gone on? has again proven. it's trained in democracy, but as well how about open to being challenged by position civil society and the media based on his track record? well, he's gonna patricia or boots really. i mean, we, some of the, remember, when does arbitration can supply, i mean the queen and so you know exactly what we can do. this is that they want any of them say, so p the last space, easy to say a game that dennis i something that, uh, either a reminder that the demand is pitching much or live and will take nothing but good

governance and indeed come to the village right, looking at regional dynamics, how do you think about how might position gone is leadership role in west africa? is this shipment pretty, pretty important about that, as you know, the salaries in those become a replace drum. so all these verbal activities. and so we've got the, i didn't, he needs to vote congress. i initial ever told them that because we're talking about the full, i need to motion phone on this, the harlem using or it's already happening, but we cannot afford it skimming skill in the way down to the stop. so we need to put a slid us, they pumped in that quickly and see i can run it wrong. we do not leave this, but obviously spend, spend a little these rather back on the, in the midst of mine is very difficult, but also, uh, yeah, i mean, it used to do something about a century and i, suspecting the lounge for my browser,

sent me the region and then see how best you guys separate the piece. right? franklin code, your social political commentator. thank you very much for your time. what was the plaza? i think you say the head of the saying the pen is mightier than the sword. with a group of on the mates as it was on these carpets, all of my poor to breathing new life into it. they hold west shops for children and young adults interested in 90 mation in the hope that the ad form will. spock social dialogue. the taco big topics, like the dangers of capitalism and conference, agreed. it's a unique way to get the creative juices flowing. we've all seen a bull bounce, but would you be able to draw that movement if us to these children are faced with that exact challenge?

they are participating in a workshop in most, in beaks capital, my put to end up getting children interested in animation. it takes multiple images to make the poll move the animators digitize the single frames and bring them to life. the children and parents are excited to see the final product. so from that, i mean that was signed by somebody and says, i think that this any mation program, a very interesting especially for children because it can create a space for them to become interested into making at an early age, the spot a what the that the base us global, see me. aspen and full making is exactly what the local estimate is. a building toward creatives from one of the countries leading animation studios. new mom was

wanting to see local stories told on the international stage. the country has a large population under the age of $35.00. and these animates has believe this off form could offer them a voice to the latest project addresses the issue of corporate greed by telling the story of mozambique in the year 2084. in that distant future, a group of street vendors battle a ruthless businessman who wants to sacrifice culture for cash. and it's called the dean foremost because we focus specifically on a group of informal market workers that become vigilantes. and that's, you know, a fights this opposition in a way, you know, like they want to preserve a tradition and they wants to remember the ancestors, the story, not only critiques capitalism, but also looks at the social conditions in the country. uh, you know,

my poor to is a city of contracts, you know, during colonial times and even after it's i percept segregated in the sense that you have what, what we call the cement city. but you also have the, the, the, the, the distance for all wood and send part of the city. and so we kind of like looked at this in the, in a way of trying to think of how we'll my point to look like in 2084. and what kind of contracts and, and the segregation would exist in that sense. the future imagined by the end a most studio is the future. these children may inherit and animate his hope that when the time comes, these youngsters will be able to express themselves through this moving artful. and it's a rough will leave you with pictures of the festive season from the continent or
