Also meet a talented group of musicians for south africa and germany will join forces to create the south. And the japanese to quote i showed us the wrong. Leverage. From ethiopia and president sokolow walk saudi 2 boats one of many stubble holyoke and a window across the continent women are rising up through the ranks of quality but its not always an easy pop when trying to think feel or examine. My lawwell was running for what she was threatened and our house was even i topped but she didnt let that intimidation stop. 26 year old to whom by my novel is the youngest ward counsellor in zambia visiting a village the young politician is received euphorically she currently re presents 15000 people shes part of a minority at the moment shes hopeful that other young women will follow in her footsteps was one of the 4 young women. So that we were able to talk about our missions as women yet we. Just heard the girl. That was why our. President yes it will be a i mean is that you know sort of critical to hear that yeah bloomberg 1st arrived here 3 years ago to gain practical experience as a social worker the locals were impressed with how she engaged with the women and children so they asked her to run in the consulate election but the old west talks against heart from the beginning the other male candidate harvest and even physically threatened her because leadership roles often passed down within the same family some felt that was stealing something that was rightfully theirs and in the night youd hear the people from the other party you know going with a megaphone dont vote for this person youre dont vote for this foreign girl you dont even know where shes coming for all shes just a small little gal and she just does it to you as a counselor should not do anything and it was terrible and they would come right there in the night with megaphones and throw stones on the roof and. But i said im going to win i am going to win because the women really have supported me in this is what why i am saying that women really vote and they support because they want things to change the world to my goal is situated in the rural ask it of the capitalist during her time as a counsellor was able to channel extra funds into my goal to kickstart new Infrastructure Projects she also helped 700 schoolchildren get study loans and is firmly against Child Marriage unsurprisingly shes now pretty popular among how close to 2 and its wrong that we dont know when our thanks to that guy that comes to have us all know he helps a lot of question news as well and she has an open yeah there are problems in your life like im a mock up tonight jennifer and im my rule number 2 were happy with how we work with the community she is 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 tonally canonical koku board thinks its time that young people start making their voices heard. What we are seeing now is a stage 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 theres new blood new ideas and pushing that edge and. Back in the mango is handing out water canisters but not everyone appreciate suggestions for years politicians would give away money as a form of vote buying some of the locals were hoping for more but bloomberg is to mistake that the next generation of leaders want to simply be judged by the size of their wallets. What an inspiring young woman will wish her all the best in how political korea still in the region this weeks a street debate is in south africa a country has been making headlines over the past month following a way will devastating that a 4 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 want in these years general election in far over a watertown out was on the fix to fix a fence the westfield before democratic election was held in 1994. Was aided kimani ask a group of young people in cape town why they didnt stand out toward the fia. 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 really cool group of people to help me answer that question and will begin with divine he actually lives in this area and you say that voting not for you. Because basically ever since 1904 up until now weve been promised a lot of things and its so used is that weve been pointing fingers at every party saying that we want this we 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 been dealing with ok so let me go to another person who says that voting is not really her cup of tea a kid who met seem why is it that going to the polls to the ballots is something youre not interested in 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 to me my silence is my voice to be honest and so i feel like theres a party that will represent me and my needs and the needs of people like me then i wont vote 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 here as i live in the western cape and i 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 f which is an Opposition Party here quite young how does it make you feel when you hear people here say the parties are not representative of me theyre only thinking about themselves theyre not doing it its an odd 20 years of democratic dispensation and throughout theres nothing to show at least at a structural level party when it comes to the question of young people the 9094 story is a nice story its a nice dream that you know our fathers over there. Told us but for me to vote but i can pay for school fees doesnt matter for me to vote but im employed what does that mean for me here for for really is born out of these frustrations that it made it might be borne out of this frustrations but clearly theres 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 the youth of 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 your faith 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 so that africa is a country that was deliberately and that 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 madness of m. M. s and 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 these people behind save for one did not vote how does that make you feel. So much hurt by our use distanced themselves from the voice the only voice is no longer true storms. Is to have a mandate and to do a look. That affecting us in our daily lives now we come to. You all saying that your party is offering something fresh the u. T. M. That this is a no corrupt posse this is the party of the future do you think the people here listening to you believe that the mistake we made was that we did not communicate in a manner that resonates with young people in particular. Issues that face young people have a number of young people who havent voted or. Voting because i was 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 people understand the reason why people have decided not to vote simply because. Conditions 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 the very visible. 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 gone long gone so i want to come back to precious youve 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 and leaders need to stop took a nice thing and people and take them 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 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. Our options policy what. They are just some of the reasons why people are becoming disillusioned with politics but surely young people make sure their voices are being heard especially if they want things to change for the better what do you write to us at 77 that dont call and we will get. For our next report we are staying in south africa but these they want to a much happier note with me over more dont solve african be friend i think or european really think these musicians are creating together very. Well thats the case. To a cappella groups one project the 6 germany focus from the groups ala and their 6 southern freaking counterparts from just 6 have come together in johannesburg to prepare early has for 2 concerts. Its amazing how both those different worlds are coming together and working as one glover i think that the music and the opportunity to sing together really unites us. The immense is im shies. Big thing together theyve created a mix of modern african sounds with medieval european music. After only one day of rehearsals their performance in front of an audience at a music school in soweto south africas largest township. Can you believe that we just did that yes i mean i think. That. For c. L. Or his band name comes from the swedish word for soul the successful performance and enthusiastic audience welcome to johannesburg. Was i believe its the 1st time that the 6 women from the instant german city of let take a visit in south africa but theres not much time for sightseeing. After their 1st successful concert they need to prepare for a much bigger project the. South african composer. Has written a new piece for the 2 choirs and a symphony orchestra. For change was commissioned by deed of blue and the german betov infest a yearly Music Festival to post piece is set to premier this industry excited about the concert. The. Event is pieced to pose pieces are usually very exciting and with music so yeah im enjoying it as a district of letting separate space 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 for not often to hear i examined Us National Youth orchestra is also on toe in south africa given the history on the tour vocalists lets us to try out new piece. Sample 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 believe that if anything since i have accused of composing i should be reflecting the times of today. And its our duty as composers to to really put say that current feel of what we experience as young people. Since most composition tells the story of a baker and his business. He hopes to use his music to draw attention to the Unsung Heroes in society the musicians bring this various to life the premier of the bitola 1st in born the audience sums it up in one word maija come.
