david: many companies outside of africa like to invest -- would like to invest in africa. would you recommend they invest? in nigeria, south africa, kenya? obviously, you are probably partial to nigeria, but are there good investment opportunities for non-africans in africa? aliko: there are opportunities for everybody. and i think protection for everybody. as we speak today, even following -- let me give you an example. in nigeria, if i have a partnership with you, and i am investing, i will not have what you call minimum taxation. by the companies owned on myself alone, as a nigerian owner, a nigerian entity, i have minimum taxation. that is quite a lot in terms of inviting foreigners to come and invest in africa. but countries i suggest in which to invest, one of them, of course, nigeria. ghana is also a very good place to invest. cote d'ivoire. you know, kenya. kenya is also a very good place to invest. david: i first met you and number of years ago when i was raising my firm's african investment fund, and you invested in it. today, the boom seems to be off the rose in

africa is about.has to do with policy, business, and culture. you know because, sometimes, you know -- i mean, especially americans, they do not really understand much about africa. somebody will say to you, well, africans, what kind of language do you speak? for example, in africa, we speak about 2,000 different languages. david: that's a lot. aliko: that's a lot. david: so right now, one of the big problems in africa is health and you have been involved in trying to eradicate polio in nigeria, along with bill gates and his foundation. what is the progress that you have made to date. aliko: i think we have done quite a lot. the progress has been very, very tremendous. in the last three years, we haven't had any wild virus of polio. hopefully, when we work between now and the next six months, by april, we will be satisfied to be a polio-free country. which means the entire african continent will be polio-free. david: one of the things you are doing in the philanthropic world is building a hospital in

it is a double edged for africa. in addition to the obvious health challenges, like elsewhere, it has had tremendous economic effects. according to the world bank, covid-19 is likely to drive sub-saharan africa into it first recession in 25 years with growth falling as much as -5% in 2020. covid-19 was already affecting african academies -- economies before it reached the shores. importers saw their revenues drop due to reduced demand from china, and there was notable capital flight from key african markets in late january and february as investors adopted a wait and see approach, and pulled their caffrey -- capital to safety, starving africans. one month of lockdown cost african $65 billion, 2.5 percent of its annual gdp, signaling the urgency of countries to contain the disease. it threatens the jobs of 150 million africans, one third of the population. he recognized this is a youthful population -- you recognized this is a youthful population and there is a high level of unemployment. is reallyich important, was s

africa took that step for reasons we heard. the lockdowns when you had a large poor population depending on the informal economy, south africa has shown exemplary action but had problems with access reliance on police and military, they were not very transparent on projections and shifted their strategy from a nationwide strategy to one that is focused on the hotspots in cape town and elsewhere. that's what we will see in many countries where lockdowns are not sustainable. they have to move into morning focused hotspot strategy and we are seeing that unfold in south africa and we will see that. >> second question, i want to ask about george floyd's murder, how that is -- everyone has been on lockdown, in terms of your perception based on your expertise, what has it done to the image of the united states, what does the region think about systemic racism and mass protests in the united states largely by the african-american community, what goes on? >> a couple pieces, their thoughts on george floyd's murder, at the leadership lev

well i think africa needs to focus. and we've already seen the lock down and all these policies and strategies are changing the way we work in europe and in africa and it allows us to more rapidly digitize african economies and because we come from a low base and because mobile phones and internet to spreading really rapidly in africa strangely enough this does provide an opportunity maybe to benefit from the many advantages that the digital economy the 4th industrial revolution provides to formalize the informal economy and all kinds of opportunities that too we believe could maybe help africa to over time to more rapidly move into a digital world in a sense leapfrog and there are other opportunities like the effort implementation of the african continent or free trade area and we hoping that code will national fact focus the minds of african leadership. from south africa thank you so much for joining us now with that call to action today. and finally some sports news the governing body of football fifa selected austra

indeed 72000000 children across africa and that is one child in 5 age 5 to 17 in africa it is very high there are reasons. this is link of course to poverty and. the story of the boy in central africa republic perfectly illustrates the complexity of the factors that are that are. creating child labor poverty is one the lack of access to education to create you creation in the case of central africa education history and compulsory on paper but in practice many children are out of school the lack of access to social protection again the story of the child in central africa shows that he's not his mother is sick. there's no health care there's no safety net and the only possibility for the child to start working the lack of warning is a population whose very well it is 3 men to 3 a lack of increment force and because the majority of. workers in africa are really in form an economy where this is very important. the majority of children in africa are also working in the agricultural sector. more than 85 percent and this is unpaid family work most. for the most so very difficult to enforce t

alcohol violence we travel to south africa to find out. streets debates we've discussed how social media and the powerful weapon against sexual violence. i mean clearly. now all around the weld the globe in 1000 crisis caused a dramatic increase in domestic abuse cases in south africa however when these claimed that reported cases fell substantially some link this to the country's ban on alcohol let's take a deeper look. alexandra outside johannesburg for activists from gun free south africa a lobby in full fuel fire on and i'll call sales around 7 women each day in south africa and femicide violence against women has been declared a national crisis the ban on alcohol has made the streets safer believes mariam not very much and alcohol doesn't make people do things it gives them because it can do things and i think a lot of people can agree with that the 3 of us when we were walking down to the school we didn't they were a bunch of men and they didn't even look at us funny will make us feel uncomfortable and so i think those are the type o

in africa we have. in fact based on the demographic profile of the population we are having cases that between 25 and 50 years old and that we have less as if the case is so if this situation was really detailed oriented of. head facilities being totally overwhelmed so we may not have all andhra percent of the numbers but we have quite good proxy that is also showing you what is the situation and how the situation is evolving and i think based on that the process is to continue having a strong public health measures and i simply don't really detest sun and mental cases what impact is this crisis to comit 1000 crises having on your ability to deal with other diseases on the continent infectious diseases or issues like manage to find. oh this is this isn't fun. this costs results. in terms of health so this is so is so what we are strongly advised countries but we need to put in place measures that can help us to modernize. as well as dealing with for all the. conditions we cannot afford to stop services

it did seem initially people were predicting africa could get swamped by coronavirus.d not see many cases, buts itanging. reporter: cases are now accelerating. what has happened at the beginning is africa had time before the virus arrived on the continent, to watch what was happening in asia and europe and in america. all the warnings that were ming, thinking about the health systems in africa and how they would strugglto cope and seeing how wealthy nations were having it tough, many cntries took swift measures early on. we saw countries going out of lockdown before -- going into lockdown before they confirmed their first taste. -- case. that is why it has spread slower contained it or seemingly to contain itould initial cases that were rorted in the countrbefore it spread into communities. vemauritius, they had o300 cases and they have tested more than 7% of the population and have not had cases frly a month now. katty: y not only ar a journalist, you have a masters in epidemiology. looking at this situation going foard, can there be the same level of confidence the c
