Other got we take a ride in a taxi with all those presuppositions to pregnant women. And we explode but it got tense capital and time and that people through the lens of the feed andrea. Report is on an issue that affects many Young Africans its not uncommon for us young working people to financially support our parents and siblings sometimes even the extended families and many are happy to do eat because its always nice to give something but right but what happens if you dont on enough money to support yourself and your family are if its stopping you from realizing your dreams we met a young man in nigeria who has his life on hold to help hes probably. Getting ready in the morning without Running Water isnt uncommon in many parts of lagos all abandoned solomon all of corn has to make the most out of his 5 metre square room. He works in a small saloon giving money curious and pedicures. Im very close to decided i said theres something so if youre going to go for it you cant afford to lose another client its the rainy season and business is slow but that doesnt stop the messages from home his family still asks him for money i get a message from my sister about our school fees. So they see me from one of my of the hair of the cloth i will never do it or whatever your kids go to school is find the salary changes every month depending on how many customers he gets in a good month he might an about 600. 00 euros about half of this goes to his family i dislike it i dont like a bot. Youre trying to stop me doing just be asking. Me i know its not supposed to be like that on his way to work on a bungee visits his father he lives alone and lost his job a few years ago but thanks to his son he still gets a warm meal every day without his son support he says he wouldnt survive. But ill call in the hundreds. Of people who are longing for a new life through right now on the bangi is unable to build his own life or start a family in nigeria people like him a cold of the Sandwich Generation hes stuck in the middle taking care of the older generation while also wanting to raise a family of his own. Needs 3 to 4 trying today to end a decent wage but today he has only one this client understands all a bunch is the limit which affects many nigerians very ill but i know that the opening problem the problem lies with the government only issue is that the government we do have a social worker system here so people especially those i really like the discretion to work the problem most affected by this if you are only in the least amount. This billboard promises a different reality retired to a knife of value its for an Insurance Company advertizing private pensions but even those who earn a good wage cant afford to put money away for their retirement were made on his way to circuit training during the week he works in a bank just like a bungy he supports his parents financially but luckily he and enough money to support himself too. I feel privileged because i have a very strong sense of attachments was my family. Thats my perspective i believe that theyve done so much for me its a way for me to get back to the farm as it were for me to little trick lifestyle. And what if he. He has children someday should parents support him too if. Thats what i want to see myself in a situation where i have to depend. On my children for so. Many Young Africans are happy to support their families when they need it but for some its a heavy weight on their shoulders. Its a tricky topic for sure a week social welfare system is just one of the reasons why many africans have little choice but to send money home to their families in south africa this phenomenon is known as black tax theyre the minimum wage is about 215. 00 euros a month compared to 75. 00 euros in nigeria for example it just goes to show even the strongest economy isnt immune to block tax our reporter travel to johannesburg to find out how Young Professionals are dealing with laptops are a constable helping out their families or does it place too much pressure on them. The 77 percent is in south africa this week and were here to investigate a phenomenon thats experienced really across the continent the idea of a black tax what is it what does it mean and what could it mean for the future luckily for us we have a really cool crowd here who are going to help us answer that question and i want to begin with. She actually wrote extensively about this was your thesis if im not mistaken so maybe just set the tone for us what is this black tax and is it exclusive to people in the black race takes is such the big elephant in the room when it comes to africa when it comes to the african continent as a whole so we use black text as a color a colloquial term to describe the money that is fucked up by Young Professionals to help at home is it exclusive to black people or is it people of color or is it experienced across all you know spectrums statistics have shown that it is predominant in the black community more than in White Communities and the rest of other races ok so we have a group of Young Professionals here and i just want to see by show of hands how many of you have experienced what were talking about this black tux the idea that you paid back to your family so see you also raise your hand can you tell me how it affects you on a on a regular basis like when you get your money at the end of the month what are you thinking when i get my mind it in a phantom thing in life i have fees to pay i have rain to pay but then at the same time youre like oh no i have still have to give back money to my family at home and then now you have to go through a lot in see how much money do you have lived because sometimes they feel like its too little so you have to give more but sometimes you dont have that more but you like a king my family let me help out but sometimes you give because you have to not because you want to i want to go to see who is right here i think would describe him as a social commentator is this a responsibility or is it a burden really depends on how you want to look at it if youre giving money back. Your family because they need that money is not a bad thing or a good thing right most people would say its a good thing but the tax aspect is the idea that you as a young person whos finally getting the opportunity getting your 1st paycheck are not allowed to contributions fully to your own development so right now its sounding rather depressing and its also sounding like its a moral issue but somebody watching from europe might think but you can just say no. Saying no is hard because the 1st thing theyre going to tell you is that we made you who you are so you also thing off that my family did this and this and this and that the least i can do is give back but i know that it also has psychological and sometimes emotional pressure and you have yo youre nodding it can cause depression some people have experienced depression because of lack techs yes i know a friend who has been severely depressed and has collapsed at work because of it when you think that you are working so hard but you yourself you have nothing to show for it but youre at work every day from 8 till 5 but thats when they ask you what are you doing with your money they will just what are you doing with your money this is a question that i hear a lot as a cause of what does this do to the social fabric of a nation such as this one so i like the commerce that have been made right but at some point you have to take our lives our own hands and say government is tapped out the tax base of the country is so small you cant get more money out of government so the question is to the point there how do you become creative as a young person so 1. 00 way is do you have to pay your black tax every single month what happens if you say no really tell me what happens if you say no have you ever tried to say no i tried to say no but then there are your parents will disown me if you say no the will tell you. We have raise you we paid for you for your fees and all that but then why would you do that by doing cheats pay us back ok so fear of being disowned any other comments from the site. I said no for the 1st time in my life i refused to pay the tax i was banished somehow in the family. My uncles get comments such as whats your problem whats whats with you. Whats your problem return back home theres no need for you to anymore theres no point for us because now its like you you have 10 pegged. Right. Ok no sofas even love is starting to be questioned is being questioned like vesta thing because of now its. Ok yes you are spending your incomes this. However you helping youre touching the family in this way and that way but then i think the level of satisfaction that is demanded through black tags does at some point resonate with the concept of love being questioned from then on do you think our parents relatives sisters uncles are aware of the things that were discussing here african parents make it look like they are protecting us they make it look like they are living is there actually covering this whole thing in the thames spirit of humanity but when its actually embedded in i think the nor at it but maybe for their own questions and to try to include. Otherwise humanity ok how do we make sure that our children are not here with another if kimani discussing the same thing i mean its difficult the 1st thing is to accept do you want your children to be paying you 40 years from now the question is do you have to give the money back to your family in the terms of money does it have to be 3500 rand that goes into the account every month how can you say this money can only be used for education and all we thinking about that because of were not thinking about that were going to end up in a situation where all children will be lecturing us to say but why am i still paying this tax so. Be a little bit more assertive rethink ways of spending and stretching that money and perhaps even sending noncash benefits how else to break from the cycle its a tricky situation edith because yes ideally in the real world we can come back to black text by saving but the blood tax keeps circulating and rotating so if i dont save years if if i dont save then my son should look after me when im older because i dont have enough money to save for my pension so can we come back to that the stage i dont think so ok let me finish with sia do you feel like you have more agency when it comes to this issue and i do but at some point i do not because we come from different families some families can and has then when you say no but in some cases some of us are actually irresponsible because you get your money for the 1st time and youre like oh ya i have a must have an expensive car must have an expensive apartment then when youre going in that month in you like oh no i made all this but you can find cheaper things that you can actually use and money too so you can have money to save and give to your family at the end of the day so i do have but i do not have well the question was asked can africa overcome the socalled black tax burden and i think the conversation here has told us that maybe and maybe not either way thank you for watching. Thanks as always for bringing us that debate and to all parties as well its a delicate discussion for a lot of people if that topic hit home for you you can watch a longer version of that debate on our you tube channel. I want to bet made at least one point clear people are almost always willing to help those who need it that brings us to our next report so what draws high drives a taxi. But hes no ordinary cab driver he offers transport to pregnant women in a day free of charge lets meet him now. How is this for service man hes in the final stages of pregnancy and taxi driver to work. Is offering her a free ride to have going to the cleaning. My husband got to take his mobile number and called him he brought me to the Health Center yesterday night too he stayed there with us for a long time and took us back home he took me to the clinic again for ultrasound check up in the morning. To what. Has been offering a free service for pregnant women in a baby out since 2016 so what prompted this taxi driver just to tanning out free rides it all began with the might to want to sell never forget. It was 230. 00. Minute i saw a pregnant woman and her husband on the streets. They were begging for grave us to stop and take them to hospital we pulled over and the lady was in labor we drove in the house but she had the baby you know whats acceptable got. It. And the benefits get met its also great for kindness she often thinks of the time to drive out when she 3 month old daughter got the news and that i wouldnt let him but i gave birth and i was at the Health Center when my husband called him. Up he dropped everything to come and take us back home since then we have spoken often on the phone. About his job and he has told us many things as only get the enter period whenever he called us he checks up on my hilde. You taking. Giving birth here can be dangerous. Health facilities and hospitals are often overstretched and difficult to get. And most of the most. Obvious is if you quit it is impossible to say that a disservice doesnt even cover 5 percent of the country so its not enough about going to germany and the drivers are taking note of toward his generosity. Amazing personality and he should keep going i think it would be even better if you could get someone to support his good deeds have to work trust quite a reputation in town this group of students recognise him in the street as you know how can you afford to do this and as far as possible i actually made base to help women in need with the a pretty not in labor anyone who wants to go for a check up i just give them a free right to madrasa high gets back to work who knows when he will get his next car from a mother to be in need of his help.

Hello there and welcome to the spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything sex and relationships today our question comes all the way from zimbabwe and our sister is asking cabs i absolutely love this show thank you so much for helping many of us my name is i have this problem like many women i have never experienced the ever so coveted and desired orgasm i have googled and searched and tried the recommended solutions but so far nothing my boyfriend is threatening to leave me because of it what should i do lets start with the last part of your problem but 1st if your boyfriend is threatening to leave you because of this chances are he has some deep rooted insecurities that hes trying to place on you my opinion hes definitely not worth it now that weve got that out of the way lets get to the root of your problem 1st of all youre right over 70 percent of women are unable to orgasm during penetrative sex this is sometimes known as the pleasure gap and even though it is a loose term it carries a lot of weight to it unfortunately women in africa havent really been taught about the importance of pleasure for the most part conversations around sex still focus on procreation motherhood and saving yourself are the one so lessons on pleasure especially self pleasure and of being ignored my 1st piece of advice to you would be stop spending so much of your time and energy researching orgasms on the internet and research on your body instead we dont always know how to pleasure ourselves or find our erogenous zones simply because of a fear that was instilled in us when we were young so ask yourself how is it that you expect somebody else to turn you on when you yourself have no idea my suggestion is get to know yourself a little better use a vibrator or any other toy anything that makes you feel good be intentional about it that way you can easily guide your partner to those areas that make you smile of course another.
