Europe the big idea. But whats become of it. Looks a little like tomorrow. Looking for a Better Future isnt enough europe requires lower purchases. Place. European elections fledgling team may twenty sixth on t. W. You know. This is africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes. To find out how strong. Is the first test of the polls for sarah ramos and his promise of a fresh start with corruption inside the box will not be enough. For the people in south africa to get jobs because of things that were cute but. I havent
read. It you also coming out stressing the importance of young women in politics you need to young to sound young politician whos for change im going to take on. Any of my junior welcome to the program so africas govern an African National Congress Faces a male biting waits for the Office Service arts of wednesdays general elections the final results are not expected before the weekend but its clear the psychologically important sixty percent plus of the vote may be out of reach for the party which has led south africa since the end of apartheid will go to pretoria to look at the Big Questions imagine as a result become the era of fests this report. Life in south africa is back to
the daily routines after a by and large smooth election observers as free and fair now its an agonizing wait whilst being counted and percentages at the independent Electoral Commission results at changing by the minute. President s are on the process just after casting his vote here still confident about voters supporting the ainsley. They can see that. With their vote they are had are doing a new deal and youre beginning at a new a period of renewal and its also a period of hope. For many thats what im opposed to stands for how he replaced former president jacob zuma who was forced out last year of a corruption scandals. Corruption got into the way the turn age got into the way and not focusing on the needs of our people got into the
way. As the country struggles with corruption crime poverty economic stagnation and an official Unemployment Rate at twenty seven percent peoples wishes a down to the essentials hopes would be a draw you know for the people that are employed. To get something up to the next. Stage through the door for jobs those kind of thing some hoping that they didnt get to this jobs stop crap shoot which is the main benefit of victory for the a. N. C. Is assured but if the party wants to halt the slide in support these are the concerns they quickly have to deliver on. For more on this im joined by a professor. Hes chair of the department of Political Sciences at the University Of South Africa in for Terry Professor thank you very much for your time now as the results come in its clear that the a. N. C. Has lost even more support maybe not just marched us to it but how long can they rely on old loyalties as the National Liberation movement. That month of the whole of the Liberation Movement the month by that we have liberated you is the African National congress we have been in previous elections for instance in the twenty fourth and elections and even beyond the time when the fall of president jacob zuma to. Two thousand and nine in my view is that the outdated because a current generation. These are the ones who are on during the time of my Nelson Mandelas presidency just alsa ninety ninety four or many of them in the twentys twenty five years old its a associated with this Liberation Month. But i think that because the had you dont
have any look or because of me being joining up so it goes out there was that the party were defeated with this Liberation Month and many of us including them said that we conduct suggests that you know that. For all that money is quite outdated because if you look in the region not only in Zimbabwe Zambia and other countries. Not with these ok the a. N. C. Run the company in seeing that theres. Corruption how else could they have. To gain support for the party. Why dont we go. To use what we called meaning that. The happiness around them up was up because as you as i hit it in the. Clips he was talking about that he knew. That he has been talking about since
november twenty eighth during the African National. Conference here in johannesburg where he was this new dog so apparently i associate you with a you know every invention of the agency and that is the message that you have yet they have used to move away from the old to tie at my knee as all last year is the quantity is about the god of jacob zuma so that in itself david you are a mistake hes the one that they have used to say we have a new president is going to fight corruption hes going to deal with the legacy of the past trust you give us on the edges of this now according to the early results the democrats. Have not really taken advantage of the fallen support for the a. N. C. Why is that you think. On the one hand the Democratic Alliance carries a bi gauge it is increasingly being. Built into a multi michel sense out of the party however it does and it doesnt thats one
thing it is significance of all its all five its mostly black youth and the middle class however it cannot shake off this dilemma of being a party that you know mostly find us today which is of white people with a one small white minority in south africa and therefore there is nice trust among them and mostly. About the way that this party is a genuine need. Or whether it is just an idea in disguise come into that you have. To guess my name if no money has this Fire Authority which he said i had to meet intent for some of the of course the end of one just trust because they believe that they know they need such an agency you know campaigning and so on but some of these measures have been just to meet intended to run the kind of the you know a reformist day you know sector of the society and so to that extent thats why they have not managed to catch into the laws of the agency ok professor. Chair
of the department of Political Sciences University Of South Africa pretoria thank you very much thank you. Now across africa young women rising through the ranks in politics and business. Point and young people ministers and. Many celebrated. Point Government Ministers held by women but its another story for Village Councils where young people and especially women badly represented we met with a young. In the way for change in their country. Twenty six year old. Youngest was. Visiting a few much the young petition its received from recreate she currently re presents Fifteen Thousand people shes part of a minority at the moment shes hopeful that other young women will follow footsteps. So that. Women may. Be able to. Present. This will be. Two years yeah but first arrived here three years ago to gain practical experience as a social worker. Impressed with how she engaged with the women and children so they asked her to run in the consulate election but the old west talked 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 doing something that was rightfully theirs and. People from the other party going for dont vote for this person youre dont vote for these foreign girl
you dont even know if shes coming for all shes just a small little gal and she just does it to you as a council i should not do anything it was terrible and dont come right. 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 im saying that women really vote and they support because they want things to change i dont buy this word to mug obama is situated in the rural ask it of the capitalists during her time as a counsellor i was able to channel extra funds into my go back to kickstart new Infrastructure Projects she also helped Seven Hundred schoolchildren get study loans and is firmly against Child Marriage and surprisingly shes now pretty popular among her quest to two minutes well that we dont know when our time for
that guy that comes to have been awesome though she has 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 and jennifer and i my. We are happy with what the community she is a good young lady and want to have to continue helping even old people like myself. With just nine percent zambia is one of the worst countries when it comes to female representation in politics and its even harder for young people although half of the population is under thirty five only for parliamentarians three percent this Group Stanley canonical kubel is one of them he thinks its time that young people start making their voices heard what we are seeing now is a sage 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 and thats critical for the transformation were
pushing for the africa that gives even our democracies a good chance to really be to be strong because you see there is this stands for certain changes that have kept huge political powers in africa in place for a long time and that can only be changed. When theres new blood new ideas and pushing that agenda. Back into my go is handing out water but not everyone appreciates who could get it 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 and why is it important that young people young women say shut up about it if this is why i think what we have an idea we have. We have that mindset we are a new generation and if i dont do it nobody is going to spy out i cant come up
with that will eventually bloomberg gives in and also distributes some money after all peoples attitudes change slowly and there is still a long and difficult road ahead for obama and the Young African police but progress is already being made. Thats it for now from south africa because all our stories to our web sites on the Facebook Page so next time i find out. To the terrorists yourself. Dont miss out.
