Also needs a talent said group of musicians from south africa in germany to join forces to create the south. And the japanese. Shows us the wrong. Leverage. From ethiopia and president. To botswana minister in a window across the continent women are rising up through the ranks of quality but its not always an easy pop when trying to fix the old zambian. My lawn bill was running for what councilor she was threatened and our house was even i topped but she didnt let that intimidation stop. 26 year old to. The youngest huard counsellor in zambia visiting a village the young politician its received euphorically she currently re presents 15000 people although she is part of a minority of the moment shes hopeful that other young women will follow in her footsteps was a modern oh yeah man. So that we were able to talk about our missions as women. Maybe just what i am going to win because the women really have supported me in this is what why im saying that women really vote and they support because they want things to change the word to my goal is situated in the rural skates of the capitalists during her time as a councillor i was able to channel extra funds into my goal to kickstart new use for structure projects she also helped 700 schoolchildren get study loans and is firmly against Child Marriage unsurprisingly shes now pretty popular among how constituents are all of that we dont know when. That comes to how. She helps as a lot of question news as well and she has an open yeah i probably will see your welcome of the night jennifer and i my. Happy with what the community shes a good young lady and want to have to continue helping even old people like myself. With just 9 percent number is one of the worst countries when it comes to female representation in local politics although half of the population is under 35. 00 its even harder for young people only 104. 00 parliamentarians 3 percent of this Group Lawmakers tanika nongold koku board thinks its time that young people start making their voices heard. What we are seeing now is a siege of young people trying to assume Political Leadership and i think that is important for africa because naturally the youths come with a different kind of energy a different kind of innovation because you see the resistance for setting changes that have kept huge political powers in africa in place for a long time and that can only be change when there is new blood new ideas and pushing that edge and. Back in a month go by is handing out water canisters but not everyone appreciates the guest for years politicians would give away money as a form of vote buying some of the locals were hoping for more but bloomberg is up to mistake that the next generation of leaders want to simply be judged by the size of their wallets. What an inspiring young woman we wish her all the best in how political korea still in the region this weeks a street debate is in south africa the country has been making headlines over the past month following away will devastating little or because weve already addressed the topic of the no 4 bia in a previous history debate you can head over to our you tube channel to watch the full version and your comments. But today we want to talk about why so many young South Africans didnt vote in this years general election in far over all watertown oh it was on the 5th or offend the westfield the 4th democratic election was held in 1994. Was 8 kimani ask a group of young people in cape town why they didnt turn out toward the fear. 25 years ago south africa went to the polls for their 1st democratic elections and there was euphoria felt across the continent and beyond a quarter of a century later though that enthusiasm for civic duty seems to have fizzled young people are either not registering or showing up to the polls and we want to find out why and i have a recall group of people to help me answer that question i know begin with divine he actually lives in this area and you say that voting not for you not for me because basically ever since 1904 up until now weve been promised a lot of things and its so used to that weve been pointing fingers at every party saying that we want this you want that but unfortunately nothing has been devalued weve lost interest because what weve been wanting weve been asking ever since our grandfathers and mothers i mean something delivered ok so let me go to another person who says that voting is not really her cup of tea kitimat seem why is it that going to the polls to the ballots is something youre not interested to be honest and quite frankly i just feel like women and parties and i feel politics in itself South African politics if not Politics Around the world are not in sectional for me my silence is my voice to be honest too until i feel like theres a party that will represent me and my needs and the needs of people like me then i wont pressure. Has a sort of similar view saying that you are voting but not voting for someone but rather against explain this to me these past elections i had to think strategically or as i live in the western cape and voted against the kind of green party but i wasnt really convinced of a particular party and because i think that there needs to be a multiplicity of kind of voices in parliament but in terms of who im really convinced of and there hasnt been anyone really so let me come to this lawyer who is actually representing the e. F. S. Which is an Opposition Party here quite young how does it make you feel when you hear people here saying the parties are not representative of me theyre only thinking about themselves theyre not doing it its a. Democratic dispensation and throughout theres nothing to show at least at a structural level particularly question of young people the 9094 story is a nice story its a nice dream that you know our fathers over the summer have told us but for me to vote but i can pay for school fees doesnt matter for me to avoid but im employed what does that mean for me here 50 really is born out of these frustrations that it made it might be borne out of this frustrations but clearly this still a disconnect because divine here is saying i dont care what you stand for im still not going to vote of course its not it was not ever going to be an overnight project but if you really look at the real constituency that if it isnt able to tap into theyve been able to step into a particular constituency among young people there is why more and more young people are starting to realise that if it is in fact an organization that speaks to our problems as usual this politician right here sounds like hes campaigning on d w but let me ask how effective are narratives like this for the people behind you is it actually going to effect change south africa is a country that was deliberately and they developed so part of it a very developed in parts of it and. Developed and its going to take a long time for that to be undone were looking i mean look at this place that we are now if you look across the road youll see that people are living in really magnificent magnificent houses with amazing ocean views and yet you know the people that are not even 5 kilometers away from them are living in abject poverty i want to bring in the people who are listening from the back and i just want to ask a simple question how many of you voted in the last election just raise your hands. Just one person how many of you did not vote. Wow so weve been talking about young people not voting and majority of those people behind save for one did not vote how does that make you feel. So much head by. Distance distancing themselves from the voice the only voice is no longer true installs and bending. Is to have a mandate and to do a look. That i think to us in our daily lives now we come to. Your saying that your party is offering something fresh to you d. M. That this is a no corrupt posse this is the party of the future do you think the people here are listening to you believe that the new stablemate was that we did not communicate in a manner that resonates with young people in particular but also to make a message for issues that face young people hence you have a number of young people who say they havent voted or they dont see any value in voting because that is that make you feel by the way as a parliamentarian feel like a failure as a leader because remember. Exactly the same people to which you should be targeting what is also important when people understand there is a lot of people have decided not to vote simply because its not actually changed conditions at all so let me ask you when there was elections was what their campaigns here in this area were you seeing a lot of politicians. Yes you did and have you have you seen them back since the election why do you think this. I mean there you only see the politicians theyre very visible when. Of an election taking place but once that is done and theyve taken the votes then boom theyre gone that is why most young people like we just dont go its mostly like our granny our mothers because we still have the vote for mandela but mandela is and has gone long gone so i want to come back to precious have been quiet for a while looking forward what do you think needs to happen not just in south africa but the entire continent of africa for young people to be more engaged in their civic duty because whether we like it or hard one of the best ways to voice our opinions i think its important that we know what it means right if we live in a democracy and how we can engage and how we can hold our leaders accountable bethink also there needs to be you know we need Political Parties the need is need to stop to connecting and people and taken seriously let me come back to define who we started with i want to close with you what would it take for you to vote in the next election in order for south africa to be the south and the south africa that we wanted to be if one should be involved if one should participate in making this place a better place thank you so much for your views and thats a fantastic place to end this discussion a multiplicity of voices is required not just in government but also for the people who have been represented its been a very insightful conversation happening right here in cape town but really it could have been in any corner of africa because the issues brought up here today are really fast spread across africa thank you for watching. What. Theyre just some of the reasons why people are becoming disillusioned with what it takes. But should we young people make sure their voices are being heard especially if they want things to change for the better what do you think write to us at 77 that dot com and we will get back to you for our next report we are staying in south africa but these they want to a much happier note with a mix of more dont solve african b.

Tour and is pleased to pose pieces are usually very exciting and rhythmic so yes im enjoying it as it should district lets think sepals piece is great i always think its fantastic when someone is able to compose a piece for an orchestra and for police i think it will be great to switch one of our fruits of your. Sermon is National Youth orchestra is also a toy in south africa given the history and the tour vocalists that size to try out a new piece. Separate welcomes the opportunity. To work with such a young team who bring a different feel to the music. I mean im a very young guy im 28 years old now and i believe that if anything since i have the kids of composing i should be reflecting the times of today and its our duty as composers to to really put a covenant feel of what we experience as young people. Composition tells the story of a baker and his business. He helps to use his music to draw attention to the Unsung Heroes in society.
