needs 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 roof over your head, but not everyone has that luxury in kenya, the countries facing a critical house in the shortage with a deficit 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 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
12:32 am
have used either kamani report from night will be a mechanic by 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 letting here to my very window kenya's oldest slums and to a very different life. we had, we have, it's hard, it's hard, it's very, very hard area to live like when you, when it capital see thing, you'd rather 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 of these diseases or the police know i've never also the or known so i'm low gene in itself, but the t needs 11 years a month for rent here,
12:33 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. 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 or 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 sleeping, but 2 friends come over. we welcome them. he was well the following day, they will be as homeless wake up before dawn, combed in sex for once, 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?
12:34 am
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 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 is gone. just like that, 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 have space 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
12:35 am
stories, whether or not to coordinate either 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. 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 mine of the consultants in town planning and data, and allotted 6 full african towns and cities. hello, and welcome to the program. that's critical house instruct agent, kenya. some reports suggest that i'm asked to meet at 300000 people homeless. tell us more about what is driving this soon. thank you very much. and so some of the
12:36 am
challenges that come around creating other homelessness in can't use the, such that the growing population does not have adequate housing. that is affordable, but also in the right locations area. today's with need to leave. so you're trying to get to us to access your. you're also in housing that is continue, but in this town. so too much do you mind into the flag to use for the shows that make sense is a that too high, or they just said for the shows of homelessness, some of the completion, 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 chinese i think comes in when the levies. oh, there is a too much for the what?
12:37 am
cuz not too much in terms of the technician that has not been in a position, but at the same time, how long would it take for his limited defense of january? it's kind of how the numbers are causing, but i need it. so most of it ends in challenges, you're hitting the market to the taxes are already too high. the people having tax to be can be a right addition. i mean, even though the policy is, can support the investment 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 c o c housing because it's a different problem, but you've already mentioned the key challenges when people talk about housing. hopefully the bt the question is how to make housing affordable to households.
12:38 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 a more houses. and the question is, who is able to fund the how it is that should be? but this, the reason i would not think is the government trying to declare the role of housing production. because number one is not necessarily a problem with this sense of what's mass, housing programs. and number 2, governments that i've tried to build more and more houses and you find that you can never deal with enough housing as a government for the month continuing to happen in the cities in the counties. so it wasn't exactly built for the houses. i think is perhaps of course the housing market. so the out is what i'm saying is can you share some, you know, practically mission meters that could help solve the house in crisis? so yeah, thank you. and i think 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 like
12:39 am
memorabilia where you. oh, there is nothing in the labels in give some joiners, but what do you see? easy is already the housing markets that and watching how some of the risk, but the housing market rental might get to know. it would be, for example, that the robust is telling us, perhaps they're very low income households to that. that'd be enough to access until they call the mother. so was national governments are trying to come up with let's get a policy, which is what i think housing finally, housing maybe easy to punctuate exercise, trying to generic housing. what you should do? i think it's a government to look at the conditions and see what is the housing markets that will be, for example, these 90, i mean is very high in the rentals and they don't. 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's happening with the rental that is making people then able to afford how to resolve. fortunately to associate,
12:40 am
that is to ensure that colleagues my case of being improved, for example, halfway through a cold, but affordable rental. so as opposed to trying to change this, it is a to how they agree. it's coming. mission might be at any of them and make them want based off of the low income household, the decisions. i think those are the strategies that she does that have tried to do that. uh, moving costs directly is getting closer to reading the affordability. got that to do that. i'm trying to introduce entirely new policies. that's up against the kind of marketing the c t a thanks a lot for your time. very, i may not be able to end in town, find an add on data, and on it, it takes full african towns and cities with pegasus group. thank you very much. i right now, cape town in south africa is also facing a house in crisis. the concerns the influx of west and remote workers west and in this situation by driving up property prices be so called digital know months and
12:41 am
in foreign courtesies, given them on the edge of the locals and the rental markets that africa's new 3 visa for remote workers. could are tracked even more of them out into concerns about affordable housing 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. online testimonials like this. show home many digital moments went to live and work in taped. and who wouldn't want to relocate to one because most beautiful city. streets of key mean the city center. people can enjoy walks along the sea point prominent, and public transport is easily accessible and the abundance of cat phase restaurants and co with spaces also make it easy to promote
12:42 am
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 are all complete. he 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
12:43 am
table mountain have become some of the most expensive subjects 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 a low income neighborhood. now, apartment buildings must spring up on every corner, mostly catering to a growing nomad 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 politics era. when 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 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,
12:44 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 in the end of the fours, affordable housing so that people can exercise and close the economic opportunities of public transport we have 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 gonna is preparing to wash out in a new government after join mohammed's victory in last week's presidential election
12:45 am
. 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 at my home i promise, as he will bring, gonna reset it needs celebrating a new dawning. gonna support as of john, remind me my home a 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 mama 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 a rivers because i've learned each one.
12:46 am
however, we are determined to work together with you to build the government. we want mama 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 commands have decided in the current context of economic town. while the john mahatma is the man to spock change last spring in franklin who do the guardian, political commentator and founder of the money sent out for policy and education. hello, say, welcome. so former presidents 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.
12:47 am
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 and be so many states. i think of the oh, just just wanna make sure kind of, i suspect that the, the one, the web reset to reset the reset. this use the lives to the, the kinds of governance with which less but which, where are called and really, really, really surprised the model of defend of human rights. and indeed the someone who jumped on the columbia grad school doctor the taking 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 which mess or journal to replay those computer. it's a gate now. and so for me is obviously video governance. and then probably even the content, right, of course it cannot be. my business was, uh they reached out so, so it looks like a reset to the whole diagnostic effects i gain. and then maybe from there will be
12:48 am
too long on one to some of the lots are on the mean. i say probably so. right, 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, because that's all we stats that the whole country. but, you know, we've already established that this will be my homeless, fast timeless precedence. what lessons do you hope you have lens from his previous administration because it was all smooth. so it wasn't local. 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 read, read on youtube, does not have the balls. he also wants to be cited. he's not, he's a bed to them. that people keep complaining,
12:49 am
they're not going to use the fitness at some point in time. and for those across the way, it's just besides that he goes along. so i suspect you never ever go back to them again. but on the, i think clearly speaking, unemployment has to be individuals. you, but i think the change by come on me by the way, it's about policy. i mean, i see the version of the idea that we follow up on the scenes and reduction in boxes. they do that, that was a call, the costs of being business, being high taxes and i'll just read the been real garcia and interest remain high. if they can do something about that, at least we gotta begin to bruce also the friendship go speak. dennis us ok to them to just access my account, right. all right, and just to while i'm jeans, community and i think you're going to be monday, 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 kept from the beginning and the side of things
12:50 am
because you need the need to be able to, to be able to. one of the things that promote these things by some of the people with me should by when people use my thought it was me would have to have some rebates. right. right. so what have to wait? what am next for? yes is going to be like, but keeping is what is the election gonna have like in 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, slow to use the for sorry, of those really, i mean, we saw because i remember when does arbitration can supply, i mean the queen and so you know exactly what we can do. any of those exactly. one done. yeah. and then said, so p would be the last spacing to, to st. game that dennis i've sometimes you've been reminded that the demand is pitching much alive and will take nothing but good governance. and indeed that come to the village. right. looking at regional dynamics, how do you think about how my,
12:51 am
my position got his leadership role in west africa as it should be? pretty, pretty important about that. as we know, the seller region has become a replace drum. so all these verbal activities. and so we've got the, i didn't, he needs to go because i initial ever told them that because we're talking about the full, i mean russian phone on this, the holland machine, or it's already happening. but we cannot afford it skimming scale in all the way down to the shop. so we need to put this little say, pump to not quickly and see i can run it wrong. we do not need this, but these are stand stand that little these rather back on the, in the midst of mine is very difficult, but also uh, yeah, i mean if you need to do something about fixing it, then i suspect you lounge for my browser sent me the reason and then see how best
12:52 am
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. when a group of on him h, as in was on these carpets, all of my food to a briefing new life into it. they hold web shops for children and young adults interested in animation. and the hope that the ad form will spock social dialogue. they talk a big topics like the dangers of capitalism, and called for you to read. 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're participating in

12:55 am
during colonial times and even after it's i percept segregated in the sense that you have the what, what we call the cement city. but you also have the, the, the, the, the destroy all at 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. imagine by the end, the most studio is the future. these children may inherit and the estimate is 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 the
