Even those with barely enough to feed their own feel. In awe of these other thought if we take a ride in a taxi which is precisely since 2 pregnant women. And we explore madagascars capital and i met 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 our extended family 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 all his life on hold to help his family. 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. He works in a small saloon giving money curious and pedicures. Im very close it is out and i say do something so if youre going to get ready 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 and so they see me from one of the hair of clothes i would never do it or whatever your kids go to school is find his salary changes every month depending on how many customers he gets in a good month he might and about 600. 00 euros about half of this goes to his family i dislike it i dont like it but. You are trying to. Get me i know its not supposed to be like that on his way to work and a bunch of 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 seems he wouldnt survive. A. 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 to 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 plan this client understands all abundance the limit which affects many nigerians very unfair but i know that the opening problem the problem lies with the government only issue is that the government we do not have a social welfare system here so people especially those i really like the discretion to work the problem most affected by the few who are only used to model. This billboard promises a different reality retired to on life of value its for i mean sure its Company Advertising 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 other bungee 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. And thats my perspective i believe that theyve done so much for me its a way for me to give back to the farm is a way for me to leave training lifestyle. And what if he. Children someday should think support him too if. Thats what i want to. 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 weak 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 block tax there 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 black tux our reporter if you money travel to johannesburg to find out how Young Professionals are dealing with laptops are they 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 and comes to me 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 up on a regular basis like when you get your money at the end of the month what are you thinking when i give my money at the end of the month something in life i have fees to pay i have rein to pay but then at the same time youre like oh no i still have to give back money to my family at home and then now you have to go through a lot i didnt see how much money do we have lived because sometimes i feel like its too little so you have to give more but sometimes you dont have that more but you like my family and 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 it really depends on how you want to look at it if youre given 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 a 1st paycheck are not allowed to contribution 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 yellow youre nodding it can cause depression some people have experienced depression because of black text 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 you are 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 commas that have been made right but at some point you have to take live and saw own hands and say government is tapped out the tax base of the country is so small you can get more money out of government so the question is to the point where how do you become creative as a young person so one 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 you if you say you know the well tell you. We have raise you we paid for you for your fees and all that but then why would you do that why dont cheat 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 when i refused to pay the tax i was banished somehow in the family. My uncles would get comments such as whats your problem whats whats with you. Whats your problem return back home theres no need for you to be anymore theres no point for us because now its like you you have 10 peg. Right yeah yeah ok no sofas even love is starting to be questioned is being questioned like vesta thing because of now it goes sort of ok yes you are spending your incomes this much however you helping your touching the family in this way and that way but then i think the level of satisfaction that is demanded from a black text does at some point resonate with the concept of love being questioned from then on to 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 as they 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 vince as add other wise the humanity ok how do we make sure that our children are not here with another edith q money discussing the same thing i mean its difficult the 1st thing is to accept do you want your children to be paying you for 2 years from now the other question is do you have to give the money back to your family in the terms of money doesnt have to be 3500 that goes into the account every month how can you say this money can only be used for education and always 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 in rotating so if i dont save years if if i dont save been 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 seo 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 going to nest and 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 youre 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 participants 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 toward rosabelle high drives a taxi in ethiopia but hes no ordinary cab driver he offers transport to pregnant women in at least alba 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.

I got the news on that they wouldnt let him but i gave birth and i was at the Health Center when my husband called him on everything that he dropped everything to come and take us back home since then we have spoken often on the phone. Its only about his job and he has told us many things as only get the henniker you had whenever he called us he checks up on my health. Youre taking. Giving birth here can be dangerous. Facilities and hospitals are often overstretched and difficult to get to. The most. Obvious is. Adequate it is impossible to say that this service doesnt even cover 5 percent of the country so its not enough and i thought 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 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 far as possible i try my best to help women in need whether the a pregnant in labor or anyone who wants to go for a check up i just give them the free right to madrasa gets back to work who knows when he will get his next car from a mother to be in need of his help.
