6:39 pm
children are only getting a little porridge to plead with them. allow the government to provide us with them because with what we need otherwise, we will stop the video since i came here, i've been sleeping on an empty stomach. we only had 2 scoops of mayflower. there's no accommodation, no blankets, and i only have to dress, i'm standing up and able to call this temporary campus one of the 4 that have been c sap on the la we southern border thousands of people have fleet, mozambique, more than 3000 of them are in this camp alone, officials won't have dia risks as they struggled to manage the sewage and people desperately seeking refuge. we're ready now remodeling. this place is slowly becoming a breeding ground for colorado and other portable diseases. the main problem besides food is that a camp has no toilet. if nothing is done color, i could soon break out rid of for, you know, if i'm on a,
6:40 pm
the malawi government is trying to scale up its support and assessing up a formal attempt to base or accommodate the thousands of people crossing the border . already some tense has been fixed there with support from you and hcr and also malawi, red cross, and as a partner, there's also a change that i've been put there. however, the biggest challenge we have, nothing on the site is access to what does these on the one for for the site. so we're trying to look at measures on how we can ensure that water is provided to decided before we move everyones to these sites. malawi is already struggling to provide enough food for its own population and the surgeon arrivals risk adding to the instability via leaving many in malawi en mozambique, hoping that come can be restored across the border. as soon as possible, south africa has launched a crack down on small convenience stores after the death of more than 20 children
6:41 pm
from suspected food poisoning in october, the shops known locally as spies as the center of a heated dispute of food safety and immigration. while authorities investigate human rights groups won, the company may be fueled by then a phobia of dw, that whole go reports from john, his book, a convenient place to buy essential items for a death trap for children. that's a question plaguing so that we can communities we shops like these are convenient source of food and other household products. cold spices. until recently, they operated with little oversight or health inspection but been a group of immigrant shop owners were accused of being responsible for the depth of several children. this was the trigger for
6:42 pm
n t far enough vigilante groups. even for some shops to close a beverage order from ethiopia owns one of these, the experience lifting squad, and was out and living. they come in, they've been able to solve a new thing to bundle life. and then even they've done like to take us, they've been all but i guess even they've done some sort of, they just use the same some of the practice by a native instead of going from bishop, when they try to the bottom initial even though none of the 50 children were from his neighborhood, georgia was forced to shut up shop and those proofing the thing. maybe we are the new month dead that the human have invested programs, have been the people behind the a tax say they're acting to protect the community at large. but many local
6:43 pm
residents depend on the shops and want them to stay. didn't ever issue this by the shots, this jobs they be, they get been ma'am into this, into it for the safety to be checked as a model. maybe every amount of the 6 months, domestic easy. this does intake this to this, it didn't do good product. but the controversy over the convenience stores isn't just about contaminated food and be elated poisonings. it's also about money and who's earning it. so that's a good spot to shop. economy is estimated to be with 10000000 euro, some local business and community groups argue that too much of that kind of be reached in the hands of immigrants. they say that all the shops should either be shut down or transferred to the hands of local these business owners in the fall area, south of genesis, to phone, to prove and call themselves involved. they've been needing cruise for immigrant,
6:44 pm
own sponsors shops to close, and they want the government to change the regulations so that only south africa's can own such stores. we don't want to go through these people because once we finish the guy, you know, i can't remember too much if you pay tax vs ortiz, are really clamping down as well as ordering all the sponsors to get registered. so that's because government has responded to the anger surrounding immigrant own shops by increasing on site inspections, but food inspectors on going there alone. they were accompanied by immigration officials on the look out for violation. human rights activist bill mckinley says the government came down is more about garnering votes and it's, it's, it's part of a i, a deployment of
6:45 pm
a particular politics. i think we seen that with trump, we sent united states we've seen in all across europe, which is the peddling of missing from deliberately peddling and conscious paddling misinformation order to stoke political tension in order to get boats in order to get support for an anti immigration agenda, so as the deadline approaches will despise the shops to read the steps with you will start to use antique immigrants, sentiments. yeah. shows little fine of fading. but for a bare jewelry and many of the immigrant shop owners of africa, he's home us. we don't have any way to go. he believes local communities, the government and shop owners will need to work together to ensure children's lives are protected and the rights of immigrants to speak to lucy hook line at the founder and director at cassey catalyst,
6:46 pm
which empowers communities and local businesses in townships and mostly joins us from cape town. good to have you with us on the program at 1st. could you give us a picture of the role of asparza shops in south africa and economy and society? thank you for having me. i spell the shops are critical to the communities you know in which they operate. but 1st, i need to give you a definition quick view of what those are special shops, upper rates, i'm in, townships, but us specifically talk shops or convenience stores that are set up in residential homes. so make shift um, when the houses or in the garage is at people's residence, is not in a commercial zoned area. and so what they've been able to provide is access to a few sort of boston of goods that people can get. and they normally open for
6:47 pm
longer hours, then you'll big retailers that operates in townships, right. and now we're having this scenario of the, the crack down, the government crackdown, which they say is about food, food safety, some critics talking about the phobia. from your perspective, what is the truth as well? i think it's been unfairly convenient for government to show us what the g and u is about. and who really is the power broker in that space. so we're getting to see government panda to big business because um, what they're managing to do. so sort of behind the smoke screen of helps the regulations is to flush out one of the, the issues that have been big challenges for them. so it's a smorgasbord of transgressions if you will,
6:48 pm
where they're able to bring in the food safety is one element, but then also immigration, they can look at who is illegal and they can visually formalize a 6 a that has been able to operate informed the for decades in south africa and unchecked help us understand the tension between the local and the foreign shop owners because um, this seems to be this divide and that's also where these complaints of the, for the coming from we live in a country way we have a 150000 spouses of shops, nationality, ride out of that 150090 percent are owned and operated by foreign nationals from you know, the african continent and only 10 percent are really run by low calls. and so obviously there's going to be a lot of tension between the low close to our one. so if you don't have access to
6:49 pm
capital, that's necessary for them to compete against the bank, retainers and against the foreign front and spies of shops, the foreign spies seem to be well capitalized. so the tension exists because of a lack of access to opportunities. lack of access to market and the biggest things, the financial exclusion in the space for black on shopping is. so what then is the sustainable solution that works for both the communities and the shop owners? the sponsor, tobacco is emphasizing for most township communities that we can stop, you know, big, big a bit of funded, more sort of efficient businesses from coming into our space. so the only way that we can benefits and i'm satisfied these communities is to allow them to operate their businesses, but have forced them into contributing towards community trust,
6:50 pm
which will then benefit to a specific communities directly. this way of having community trust move in force, whoever is making money in our communities to then provide a direct benefit to those people in those communities at the point of use. okay. uh, that explains quite a lot for us. it was evil, quite a week ago. we appreciate your insights on this story, so thank you for your time. thank you for having me. let's take a look at it now. at some of the stories making headlines across the continent, the us as accused sedans, rock and support forces, or a staff of genocide saying the power military group has systematically murdered and raped members of such and ethnic groups. and all for the by the administration is impose sanctions and are a stephanie to mohammed. i'm done douglas saying he bears responsibility for the actions of his fighters,
