6:31 am
made sense and was on 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 roof over your head, but not everyone has the luxury in kenya, the countries facing a critical house in the shortage, but a deficit of nearly 2000000 units. now any of this you have, the governments passed the controversial levy that forces employed canyons to contribute 1.5 percent of the income towards house and construction. the 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 have used either tamani
6:32 am
reports from night will be a mechanic by training. and what's the best a noticed he 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 changing keys life let him here to month every one of kenya's oldest slums into a very different life. and had we had a pause then it's hard. it's very, very hard. hideous. like when you're, when it capital sits, a, you'd rob a sleep hungry, but at least have some way to sleep. you out of shelter is a priority because you don't know what could happen to you when you're out to you. when i'm with the receives out to you of the diseases or the police, and there were also the unknown, so mo jane in itself. but the t needs 11 years a month for rent here,
6:33 am
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. rain is inevitable. everyone rushes towards the homes as though by command. tea leaves us to a shak, 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 of an allow. there were 2 of us who were sleepy, but the friends come over. we welcome them here as well. the following day, they will be as homeless wake up before dawn and, and sucks for ones 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
6:34 am
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 window 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, that's all you get on your money's gone. just like that, so we're back in my direct to look for t 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 some way to sleep. so when they get out of here, they can help others. how customers ask us to tell the
6:35 am
stories, not to coordinate. he said, we have a problem like we've never seen before and how we my, my house is what demolished everyone was asking where we could go. we still don't know what to do, but god bless this woman. c 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 in shortage. and can you some reports suggest that i'm asked to meet that 300000 people homeless? tell us more about what is driving this thank you very much. and so some of the
6:36 am
challenges that come around creating other homelessness in kenya is such that the growing population does not have adequate housing. that is affordable. and i don't think the right locations area today was would need to lead. so you're trying to get to us to access your. ready rent, housing that is 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 the just missing out housing. and that's the explanations of homelessness. some of the population, 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 1.5 percent off of work is monthly pay, right. the levy is intended to pay for the construction of $200000.00 affordable housing for poor i canyon speech here. how realistic is that? the chinese, i think, comes in when the levies of their lives are too much for the work. cuz not too much
6:37 am
in terms of the technician that is happening position, but at the same time, how long would it take for these limited defense, january? it's kind of housing, what the number of housing by that needed. so what's the victory to in and challenges? you're hitting the market to the technician. it's already too high. so people have been taxed to be can be a right addition. i mean, even though the policies can support the production of housing you'd be, doesn't have been fussed already. that housing does not do that being said, we do have a problem with the people that being taxed to produce more housing. so show the governments just build the houses for people smooth the housing book because it's a different problem, but you will like, you mentioned different the key china when people talk about housing. also the bt the question is how do you make housing affordable to households?
6:38 am
number one, you can make them, you can raise income so that people can afford the housing. that's what we do there . or you can 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 is the government is trying to take all of the rules of housing reduction because number one is not necessarily in front of me. this sense of what's 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 was, it is not necessarily built for the houses, i think is perhaps the quotes that housing markets. so the out is what i'm saying is, can you share some, you know, practically mission eaters that could help solve that house in crisis? so yeah, thank you. and i think we, we really, and there's 2 minutes to cover the coverage tons of investment that are happening after density. so you're good to do next memorabilia where you. oh,
6:39 am
there is nothing in the labels in guest telling me joiners, but what you see easy is already the housing markets that in watching hospital service. but the housing market rental might get to know it would be, for example, that either of us there's challenges, perhaps there's very low income households to that, that'd be enough to access until because even better. so was national governments have changed to come up with let's get policies, which is what i think housing finally, housing maybe easy to punctuate exercise, trying to generic housing. what you should do? i think it, the system doesn't mean to look at. it could be something saying, what is the housing markets? there will be, for example, these 90, i mean is very high, but in the rentals and they don't, these policies should be leveraging government policies to improve visual my kids to feed their bodies. so that is to begin to use the case of this to see what is happening with the rental. that is making people that are able to afford how to
6:40 am
resolve. fortunately to associate, that is to ensure that colleagues market that will be improved. for example, high equity to rental, but affordable rental. so as opposed to trying to change this, it is a to how they agree. it's coming mission, why 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 directly is getting closer to reading the ability to go back to give that option to an entirely new place to use that to against the kinds my kids to the c t i thanks a lot for your time, mary. i may not be able to attend in town's fine and have on day 10 on it. it takes full african towns and cities with pegasus group. thank you very much. i. 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
6:41 am
of the locals in the rental markets as of africa's new 3 of these out for remote workers. could i tract, even more of them out into consensus about affordable housing? did i've used iron hole 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 is for the next 6 weeks on line testimonials like this. show how many digital nomads went to live and work in tape and who wouldn't want to relocate to one because most beautiful city streets key mean the city center people can enjoy walks along the sea point from an odd and public transport is easily accessible. and the abundance of capt. phase restaurants and co work spaces. also make it easy to promote you a citizen,
6:42 am
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 situ slammed by an ocean on one side and a 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
6:43 am
some of the most expensive suburbs to live in. not only in cape town, but in the country as a whole. good stuff is one such 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 low cools, the housing prices carries the stock in mind of the apply take year. with black and brown, people were only allowed to live in designated areas. it becomes very difficult for us to find property because now if either these all property or the party is very expensive, is also creating that certification and segregation between people. because now it's not, i'm not but the color of your skin,
6:44 am
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 in public transport. and 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
6:45 am
election. the change. com is that a crucial time gone? i is experience and it's whereas the comic tension in years despite maintaining its democratic stability. expectations are high, but of my how my problem is is he will bring gonna reset it, needs celebrating a new dawning, gonna support as of john, remind me my home a welcome the news of his victory in last week's presidential election. they've given him the mondays to relieve them of that current troubles, and his words 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 he like they turn the rivers regarding the
6:46 am
power button. we have the 10 minutes of work together with you to build the government. re one model was himself criticized heavily for the see the 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 spock, a change that spring in franklin who do the guardian, political commentator and founder of the money sent out for policy. and education hello say welcome so far, my precedence, and now president elect joined my how my house and lots on his plate. no doubt. he's promised to fix the economy and restart donna. what would that look like as
6:47 am
well? thank you for having the um, i in these days when you use the word reset. uh, how many these some of the things i think of the oh, just just wanna make sure i got them. i suspect that the, the one, the web reset, reset the reset this use that up lives to the, the kinds of govern us which list which, which are called and really, really, really surprised that no matter what defend of human rights. and indeed, the someone who jumped on the columbia grasp was actually not taking this to those days. and so when, when, when the best of them, why am i sees a reset reset? their private means that we'll, we'll, we'll know, we'll try not to which mess or turn to replay, those computer. it's a gate now. and so for me is like, is obviously really a governess. and then probably even the content, right. of course it cannot be my best tools, they reach that. so she says, i mean, it looks like a reset to that whole diagnostic effects i gain. and then maybe from there will be
6:48 am
too long on one to some of the lots are on the mean. i should probably start writing, 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 talked about that 24 hour economy. maybe that's part of the plan that would help. you know, that's all we stats that the whole country. but, you know, we've already established that this will be my home as fast timeless precedents. what lessons do you hope he has lands from his previous administration? because it was all smooth indeed, it wasn't most. i mean, the way he spoke to gun yes i saw when when he was excited as a spring there said he meets was the most most wretched redone and youtube does not have the balls. he also, for the most be said he's not, he's a bad tooth and that people keep complaining. they're not going to use the fitness
6:49 am
at some point in time. and for those of us who, where is 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 that's been a big jump, shoot, but i think the trade bar come on me by the way, it's about policy. i mean, i see the region of default conditions and reduction in boxes. they do that. that was the cost of being 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, at least we gotta begin to bruce, also the friendship. go speak, dennis, us ok to them, but i don't have access to your account, right? all right, and just doing while i'm jeans, community, and i think you're going to be funded, used to reduce them by how would i read up start the process of reset. and then i suspect also that it needs to work hard from the beginning and the side of things
6:50 am
because you need the need to be able to, to be able to. one of the problems that promote these things by some of the people would need should by when people use my 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 selection kind of has again proven. it's trained in democracy, but it's about how my open to being challenged by what position civil society and the media based on his track record. well, he was gonna publish or boots really. i mean we, some of those. i remember when these are producing kids, i mean the queen and so you know exactly what we can do. this is that they want done yes. then say, so be the last spacing to, to say a game that goodness or something of either a reminder that the demand is pitching much i live and will take nothing but good governance and indeed come to the village. right?
6:51 am
looking at regional dynamics, how do you think about how might position gone is leadership role in west africa? is, should be 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, will congress, i initial ever told them that because we're talking about the full i need to motion phone on this to holler imaging or it's already happening. but we cannot afford it scaling back skilled in the way down to the stop. so we need to put a slid us or bumped in that quickly and see i can run it wrong. we do not leave this, but obviously stand, stand that little these rather back on the in the midst of mine is very difficult, but also uh, yeah, i mean if he needs to do something about switching me, then i suspect you lounge for my browser sent me the region and then see how best
6:52 am
you guys separate the piece. right? franklin code, your social, political commentator. thank you very much for your time. what was a pleasure? as you say, the head of the saying the pen is mightier than the sword. when a group of unto mates as it was on these carpets, all of my poor to breathing new life into it, they hold workshops for children and young adults interested in 90 mation in the hope that the ad form will. spock social dialogue, they talk a 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 participating in a workshop in most,
