of nature's grace, adaptive and living see to europe of trees, gulf jenny reset on d w. the with us. i love the experience. both of us picks it tonight. to be football.

we want to get all the welcome to south africa. a country that has gone through so much, but school starts corporate to every single day. in fact, it's a country of some of the prices and most innovative mines way things like the old domestic pool cleaning, creeping, cooling, wayne vincent, the brake with a dose of that particular coast like those waiting painted to you. and of course, we can forget that the very 1st hon performed by doctor christian bonham. that all happened right here. hi, my name is got to come away and i'm in cape town, south africa. find out how innovative the my,

the city's transport system is all and what's really the best way to get around on your daily commute. so having joined me for the ride, at least find out the over 10 years of being a taxi driver. and how did you start, what made you decide that you wanted to be the i isms i told her that because of the way i give them money. okay. okay.

okay. so because i mean, obviously the employment situation inside that big as a watch that go down there on the time. yeah. so what, what did you do? who did you approach? i was, i wasn't the guys, i knew i got a license. i was going to do something here, the funds funded that i'm that on with us. i. there's the good guy with him also with i was the one guy understanding. yeah. ever since i've been dialing the even a step in bellville, l. 60 right. now look at today and then on the way to tell him how important that text is very important. yes they are. so you and reliable fit an

entry and every saved rather nice back to this, tell me what you'll do because i was actually talking to lindsey right now about the differences between texas and intake mission from a safety point which do you prefer? i prefer texting and why is that? because i think most times in change, it's still past that. you don't know what's behind you. it's just not an nice environment to have. what about the buses? have you ever considered that as a motor possible? because i'm so used to text me, i prefer taking it because i can just get out of my house, take it back. it's what it was a fast 5th time. so give me some time or you don't know the time. you may miss it. but with a taxi, at least you, it's like 16 passages. yes. you kind of know your drive up by now could you take the same and every day. so there's that. it's to, other than that,

i love the experience. yeah. because i mean having hanging out with lindsey edward gregory, i'm getting that, you know, the energy experience. there's, i, yeah, right. the if you had a choice of any other job it you could do in the world with just to be choosing to get that, you know, for my family is like for, for my family. but i'm sitting here for them to see. i can see i mean, so i guess the news of when you say your

family doesn't want you to be an extra 5. 0 yeah. 63452 mileage along the road but not securely on the bus with a zip code either. either way i live in diesels or texas, i must go home with my v. so they taking uh those guys that i picked up, i'll be just taking all money out of this place. so the territories, the life of dependent on how much money they can bring in the more money, if they can make more money, they can bring to the about 8 times, but also more money they can make for themselves. so now this and cottages,

unfortunately, things such as little reckless, driving overload the because the whole body thing and bottom and, you know, it says that this, this i've, i've almost a few tests this. so that is the bit because talents which we think if we ever get to a point where the industry is subsidized, so your quote, then you meet that you have a more but, and then the end of chasing profits. how would you see that system working? so government would intervene by offering a subsidy to son tucker. would that would, it would then disseminate towards the association, explain that model to me. you have experimented with it and that was then case ended where it was not as a subsidy. it was also a way of monitoring a once i've us checking on, i have a behavior and they sticking to the roads. and they've, i've been pro, probably hospitalized king high school and having all those kind of things because

they're a technologist installed in all the veterans that participated in that program. so there was a little time one to tiring. and not only that, it also provided an element of safety for all the icons on a tech doing and not drive it takes the so with that modest, it took me its headings to see where the i can pull out a text and then bring it back any ducking style and he's going to tie me and see how i do. if i were to be a tech to the they might be a few to them. you know, i thought this is safety, safety been put under the bed, the bed the we have we have so many different things and also people, people of it takes the

the oh no, let me try. we tried, i did the thing. so apparently i put it by the time you do the on point, i just need a tv. yes. okay. it printed off the how do you get from home to you? what, bye bus. my bus. right? yeah. and how long does it usually take you to get some home to it? to 2 hours our pick again that's,

that's awesome time. ray takes them all quicker. okay. they get me to work as in the a is a, can i use the mice at the best? it's about a 40 to 40 minutes drive and then it gets you a direct i'm taking takes you to work every day. if i had a choice, if i could have my own car, you've got to read things that she puts on it because we have to travel and gets a cellphone. what happens to the changes that you use are traveling? i don't care for that. so i thought we'll try, sorry, i said as likewise if you're so busy 3 very we'll talk about we have a new quote as it is. and that's always the most of the thing. but i heard something, but even though i'm at the corner, oh, i could go safe by that time i pay a some people this smoking sites, investment and, and they are robust insights. what would you say to the me ok, talking to the team here you can see the most pretty much what it is inside was us

. yeah. yeah. so 2 hundreds. and then was safe to cause the buttons as well. yeah, we have this like what i'm, we say 3 big data go. we see a button out of things that are cheap. all a metal, real frame is on fire in cape town. another chain has been consumed by fire and of course fix tens of thousands of working class people working alongside these railway tracks. i'm reminded of black, you must, you can assume is the man i see humbug on my life here, which is a song that spoke about trains of transported men as they sold work to feed their families coming from various parts of africa. and as i'm exploring the story about the transport mix in the city of cape town, i think about the daily commute all parents and people. and you know,

that are trying to be the families and creating the future for that. and the less this picture that we see behind me pains less than desirable speaks of what is in terms of the railway line of who's the artist. few issues at cape tongue has faced when it comes to its railway system. the passenger rail agency of south africa has found itself in very challenging times. most recently having 5 its former c o for the 3rd time. that doesn't exactly inspire confidence in terms of the stability of the organization. these being massive issues with the vandalize ation of these key resources in what they doing. of course, the peek in fires that ravaged carriages in 2018 in 2019 that caused loads of millions in laws. and the question of how does it get back to its optimum state? how does the entire transport mix up in my,

the city get back to where he needs to be in order to allow this beautiful city to be the gateway to africa. the people hope it can be the waiting some spot to put in. is that for the, the moses we have that is the same maybe by spect company to find my way to live with the people was way to actually is opportunities for the meetings to help in the school leading as well as the end of the day. although is to ensure that we ever people reside and where they need to continue to victory, ensure that the, or at least the options available to them outside is, would have had to intervene it to see how can we move people in the fosters most efficient way the

do this raise that, save. no dna just always say, and it's used to describe something with someone that is 100 percent proud of the south african and this pretty weird. 100 percent electric vehicle is exactly such a product is made by a company called middle events and they are an individual disrupt the in the mobility 6, then charging the way going into what is possibly the future of any economy that has not yet been quite tough into in the south african market. and today i have the opportunity to meet with the finally the of miller vans meal group. clear who'll tell me with little but he's story and how this could really be paving the way poured into a dr. to see to the whole one and experience product to that is really good was actually the amazing

thank you appreciate it's fantastic to meet the luckless and especially also having had my very 1st rides you being the one of your inventions and what is creating to be quite and disrupting the mobility. so do i absolutely talk to me about middle of ends in with this idea started from your office university has been since i'm living the far east. and then obviously the agents have been using small and example sites the going back to sort of kentwood. well, we can do a bit yes. like plastic events, way we started to thing your process to get. we know, well, how does it will produce their believe it basic is it starts by thinking you got our arch when you start doing things and you play around the little machines that been involved, basically eating small university project, which then got funded. luckily, with the funding process, we could actually build

a few prototypes and then basically stumbled from the way we all know building full vehicle, some di, exploding to europe. wow. the, it's on and on top in yet, and i'm watching this at home. but what would be some of the ideas i could clocking on to we? i could use one of these middle events in the business. well, i think you're still a boy looking at the cost of upright. do you me to collect the south african we run it 15 south african cents a kilometer so that we're getting is a mess of defense compared to normal internal combustion engine. right. then you can still thinking about different delivery options. the ring fossils groceries medicine, pharmaceuticals. yeah. for this goes on yeah, western other is it a charge by the way? super easy to judge. every vehicle is a built in charger. so it just plug it into the normal wall socket and the vehicle

will charge at 60 days. at the, on the start, you know, it's coming around for some ideas that you might have a customer needs to be really by the way, how much can you really put into one of these main events? well, it ends of capacity within 10.5 cubic meters. of space, so if that's bold enough for anything you want to deliver any law, small environment from grocery store or even a baby elephant because it's in the back. i like that. you mentioned that because i've got a team behind the scenes and i want to see if i could how that is a. yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it. that's wow, that's cool. i people, i think this. i think we can make one more credible. you know,

i wonder if it wouldn't be able to close just within that. don't worry. well, okay, that's absolutely amazing. spaces we created is anyone the less the full, the smart go so far on my journey i've learned about the different modes of transport. it in the city of cape town and the challenges that they face. and of course the innovations at hand. right now, i've got a bit of a surprise when you a 2nd spin to the store. i've been a 4th of my life. i pretend to be 50 percent teams and even if it's also a v 6 c was always with me everywhere and

look what i'm talking about. spinning. i'm literally referring to the sport of spinning, made famous by this very vehicle here, and it's drive a very well known mist, the ag last that how you doing weatherman fit . good. nice to have. yeah. and i get to the, we wanted to know the must move out of control for the we actually in the

a man like cable the way here. and i was really hoping that you could teach me how just been even possible for someone like me to learn how to speak. you know, if you know the basics offer for call, if you can, that i can keep us standing straight. spinning is not keeping a straight, keeping it sideways. so if you can, can i have her call, you can do, i do have to let, let's get inside and let's see what this little box. now let's do it. here we go. the more excel ration you give, the one that it makes. so we can so the wheels can yes. yeah,

it's one of you to slow. the one is pushing and the other one is like poorly. yeah, so it does it. so the car won't be able to move unless you excel aeration on the yeah. the i

love it. yeah. i love to live with me. that is amazing. i feel like i've reached another level of, of deep and i'm 2 years of uh, no, it's not everybody that has my problem. i'm the only the, this is i really of the say. yeah. i got to go. yeah, i use the let's talk about that a little bit. right. because one of the people was sending me that every time that your call engines, which is on the entire community comes together. yeah, yeah, yeah. as you can see, even our, this is only the, you know, the guys, the people in my community that always stands by me. but the main thing is the kids, they actually now in school. yea, the kids a more than this people standing around you are, the people are standing around, you know, there's only a handful. you must see you in this course thoughts. and the kids out of school is

like, you know, under phrases. if i burst at the end, the causes are standing there in light is what i'm maybe like a little me to away from us coming in the new year. and the, and the tires are usually it makes my auto broke. and i have to tell my guys put on other tires, so we can go spin again because the community in my area, they loved spending. i never had a complaint from anyone, from the oldest to the youngest, even. yeah, the one of your brothers is telling me that, you know, the kids learn how to become mechanics because they see you building the cause. as

you can see in, in the area in the community relocating, you know, kings to those i'm is, is hi, can i what i can, i'm going to do is i you and you know, sometimes the police captain, he comes to me. he tells me one day that i'm the fish keep a while i ask him why? because you see the are when you spend your call, everybody's watching view and there's no kings right now i've seen going on as long as you spend this car, you know, and especially with our kids around you, they have nothing to do. you know, there's no facility for young kids. do you know, and especially at home, what else to look up to, you know, to, to, to put a guess in a life. and so they do it to me because i am a mechanic around you. if anybody knows me ask you, did i stand, you know, and especially the kids. my mother teaches me one thing about small light is the bigger for you to, as we, as a adult, you know. and so the sooner we can grown them to become some things in life,

they will take, you know, get like that they will do and follow you if it's i, the, in the eyes you know, and especially the community and, you know, the light is a lot of spending the was what an interesting eye opening and it hits meeting duty. it's been around the city of tapes on and i've lived, of course, like any other society, the, all the challenges in many different parties. we to hold hands to give it to make it work, but it is a life at the end of the tunnel. you heard it from the people we've spoken to, and hopefully you can see some of your ideas. how did you think it could be made to what better. it's been a place that the one is doing you with you. my name is capable of wind. thank you
