the situation in south africa, yes, the majority of south africans begin to see south africa as a non—racialy a constitution that the world envies, with our democratic sort of chapter nine institutions that are the pillars of our democracy and justice. the separation of power between the judiciary and the state. those things are the good things about south africa. yes, the crime. because now we opened our borders, now we opened our society to everybody, in fact, now we have, we have been asked to be part of the g22 overnight, to be partners and players in the global economy, when we are actually 70% a third world country, and only 25% so—called first world. so our challenges are enormous. yes, we are one of the most... i don't know this stats, to call ourselves "the most unequal society," because i havejust come back from america and i can still see the areas where black people live and hispanic, sort of, the minority people — i've been in london now since 1973. the property in the streets is alarming to me... no doubt. ..in a country like england. south africa is not the only country wrestl

all be honest that in south africa is you can understand the 2 countries have. an extradition treaty between them that allows them to exchange people who are wanted in either country and as a result that would have had to have been for had to go to the so however because she was a fugitive from justice was already wanted when she fled to so often also to arrest her and take up to a salute to a supposed to avoid them advised to go and report to the police which she did yesterday and where does the prime minister stand in all of this and is he going to step down as many in the country whole. well christine what we know is that the prime minister was 1st listened to by the new solomon with you who informed him that his cell phone is the one that was actually called but people at the scene would. and killed him 27 from the underside you would have been the 1st person to be suspect of this. because mine is my. husband and we supposed that because of other investigations that have now pointed marks to him now it's obvious that he is the 1st accused in this case howeve

what are the biggest stumbling blocks you are seeing at the moment in trade relations between south africa or even southern africa and germany i mean there's the old contentious is the ease of doing business and of corruption but i think the greatest is shoe at the moment is a lack of knowledge on both sides as to what both sides can offer. i think many african companies don't know their german potential counterparts there's a lot of room for matchmaking and there's a lot of room for upping the cultural understanding jeremy gaines thank you very much for this insight thank you toyota's profits accelerated in the 9 months to december largely on the back of cost cutting measures japanese car michael also upgraded its full year profit forecast turbo charging the stock price the maker of the best selling camry sedan and prius hybrid said net profit jumped 41 percent to $18000000000.00 u.s. dollars despite the cheerful news analysts watching to see the impact of the new coronavirus in china had to yield to have suspended operations at 12 factories. this small northern german village of stock of

first, our world — blasian love in south africa.ountry's painful past means interracial dating is still often frowned upon. do you have a thing for people of my race? erm... during apartheid south africa, you could go to jailfor dating somebody outside your race, but now, more than 25 years later, a whole generation, the born free generation, have grown up together and more and more of them are falling in love with each other. and it's notjust black and white — what's it like dating between people of colour? apartheid was south africa's government sanctioned segregation based on race... destroy white south africa and this country will drift into chaos and poverty. ..and officially ended in 1994 when nelson mandela became president. everyone born after this year is part of the born free generation, but dating amongst this group is a minefield in race relations. being in south africa, now it's a bit like a cappuccino nation, you have, like, your little sprinkle of integration on the top. and hang—ups from apartheid are real. you know,

liking that i'm right here in life with you but one important thing about this is that you know south africa does export coal to countries like india china korea japan and i foresee some of those countries also decided to eliminate the usage of coal which puts south african a very very tricky situation means that the have no choice but to radek a c. use of coal and one thing that they must you i think would be for great for them to you know incorporates the workers when the coming up with policies for them to decide what would work and another thing that would be also good would be for them to increase a bit of tax that some of that money can go back to work is that will a fortune not have jobs until a plan b. is and states when it comes to buy that i think something like this but what are the chances of convincing all german companies to invest in south africa when they do consider the economy high risk well you know the one thing that they have decided what the president on the horse has put into place is any template as resource plants which looks at a diversified portfolio of different e

in south africa, today is pink day, raising money for charity and having a party. yers got to dress up. this was south african captain quinton de kock getting proceedings under way. few parties pass without someone falling out. here it began with van der dussen getting out. lbw, said the umpire. van der dussen was given another chance, video replays hadn't been working properly. south africa, a reprieve, moeen ali moments later had the last word. a final flourish took south africa to 256, despite the celebrations it didn't look enough. especially once jonny bairstow got started. brilliant, at times brutal. once others started chipping in, the chase should have been straightforward. but as late wickets fell, england were getting just a little nervous. victory more tense than it should have been, a special day in johannesburg but ultimately england's day. england's women are out of the t20 tri—series in australia, after losing by 16 runs to the home side. england bowled pretty well, restricting australia to 132 for 7 off their 20 overs. victory or a narrow defeat woul

well the key reason is economic south africa is the only industrialized country in sub-saharan africa and is a very important trade partner for germany as well 2 thirds of all german investments on this continent i'm going to south africa in fact and the german companies are doing surprisingly well talk to a lot of company representatives they're doing quite good business here and that is despite the fact that the overall economic situation in south africa doesn't look good at all 30 percent unemployment the economy is growing slower then the population crime is going up so there's a lot of bad things happening at the moment and german companies are beating the trend and people say that the visit of the german chancellor is also a signal to the south african leadership. is the president of the a.n.c. the governing party and he is seen as somebody who wants to reform the economy who tries to be market friendly but he is facing quite some opposition within his own party and the message of the german chancellor is also a sign to support him. adrian krishna talking to me a short while ago

you talked about south africa taking the chair of the african union this year i think we can all agree that south africa has punished well below its weight for at least the last decade on the international stage but now it holds the it's going to seat on the un security council currently it is all of that about to change what sort of leadership should south africa be providing to the a you and what sort of clout will run a post i have with other african leaders. just to pick up on the last point and i'll get to the south african for chairing a i think the other challenge in the continent is not just the political world but the ability to actually hold errant leaders accountable and i think that's also part of the challenge in terms of the financial resources and whether or not we are willing african leaders are willing to put the investment into the kind of peace and security architecture of news and i think that also speaks to the kinds of external influence and geopolitical interests that you see now in the stay here and in north africa and therefore coming to south africa another ha

south africa is special, in the sense, unlike other countries that i've mentioned in my testimony, southafrica developed a fairly robust democratic constitutional state. in which, there is a very clear separation between the state, the government, the army, the military i should say, and the ruling party. it is very clear. very clear lines. that shows, in terms of the defense budget. discussions of national security matters and so on. it is a very special case. namely that the relationship is very tight. the communist party of china is very tight. south africa has not replicated the model of a party, army, model at all. in any way shape or form. however, for ideological reasons. regions of some teaching narrative, that relationship is very key. and especially under the zuma administration. it hasn't extended into intelligence training. we have seen more senior personnel training at the central party school. at the different academies. the relationship is definitely deepen. i think it does play a role. suddenly the two sides to invoke that. if we look at the statements that the president
