Little when it comes. To what secrets lie behind. Find out in an immersive experience and explore fascinating Cultural Heritage sites. W World Heritage 360. Hello and welcome to the 77 percent show for africas use i am eddie micah jr. Now just to remind you 77 percent of africas population is under the age of 35. 00 are you part of the young generation then youre in the right place we focus on the
issues that matter to you coming up on todays program. In ghana we discuss how that its allies asian country african economies and how we can all benefit. We had to wait so in south africa where we discovered the advent of the old well street spending. And getting on rough spots of the less soft shows us around his beloved home safety and i think. But 1st what do you do with a broken mobile phone or an old Computer Recycle lets throw it away most electronic trash and huge waste dump sites on exactly great for the environment now to young Game Developers from ghana hoping to raise awareness of this problem theyve created an Augmented Reality Game with the hope of Inspiring Change by taking players right to the heart of the problem. Imagine you are
a Space Command and responsible for keeping. What would you do. This is a trailer for the video game the Chronicles Of. The game is set in. A district in the southwest of central across. This area home to the in famous crop yet known as Sodom And Gomorrah its a vast dumping ground for easy ways. Game developers Prince Andrew at the fuel and Matthew Hunter who grew up in ghana. They want players to come up with Creative Solutions to one of their countrys Biggest Challenges either way east of the game and reality is more or less intertwined because because what is happening in your life and also you get to explore the world of the water we are
creatures it is our 100 different definition of reality its more or less intending with reality as in real life Virtual Reality and commented to the game tries to encompass everything. And make it as a whole is everything of an army real if you ask yourself when youre playing a game. And reality really does play an important part here because anyone playing the Chronicles Of peano needs. To be on location at the Site Interacting directly with the environment. Players can learn about the toxic gases that are released when waste is bhante. They can also walk to its goals like getting rid of the west and cleaning up. The game deals with the theme of recycling but in
a playful way another task players might have to compete is taking pictures to document the pollution is no more than a trend where you play games for leisure and we play games like in fact our mentality to broaden our how we understand things how we are whatever we name in the game. The Chronicles Of clean new is one part of a metal game called enter africa it consists of 15 different location based mobile games that are aimed at creating positive Social Change across the continent. We dont operate around we cannot see a different approach to Problem Solving that is to benefit cation through Game Mechanics thinking Out Of The Box and sometimes thinking like theres no books are tricky we want to see that approach to Problem Solving and operate on what we believe that. We can help people chance and bring about various issues about to
talk to me we would have talked about and then that is what we want to see. Its time to put the Chronicles Of cleaning to the test the team is at the digital conference republican in accra to present the game to the public for the 1st time playing the game it brings you an awareness of i Whats Going On in hopes to find the solutions towards fixing the problems i found the course is a little bit small box. Its small part of it. Its really exciting. I think game tiring to focus on pollution but Prince Andrew at the few hopes that in the future the game could tackle all sorts of important issues i want to see africa being sustainable you know leave. The Shop Assistant at the system when it comes to business when it comes to public or child when he comes to him
developments in every industry is the Industrial Revolution in africa must be. Right 2050 points are just enough. For the moment its nice to be sort of a team effort is only a Virtual Reality can gaming help the vision crossed over into the really violent. Games like this part of a big a phenomenon they did allies ation is shaking up ghana and many other african countries we send money by our Mobile Phones and pharmacy and even use ups to help boost the harvest so then just a few examples the promises from tech giants new jobs agree to Economic Growth but how do we ensure that all of us benefit from that its allies ation are reported the money went to a crowd to find out in this weeks street debates. We are back in Akron The Capital Of Ghana and today were going to be asking the
question can digitalisation spot africa what is digitalisation to begin with well luckily for me i have written core group of people who are going to explain all the details the challenges of possibly help africa can overcome those challenges and the 1st question is going to go to a man whos been described as a month for africa well hes shaking his head we really dont like that you know go get to that shortly but briefly if you can what is the digital aviation utilization is is very much you know disrupting the space enough can create jobs creates an opportunity is bringing spirit so its a good thing you know a lot about process is an uppercut 90 i want to ask you because youre a Digital Marketer but youre also teaching people Digital Literacy how do we begin the process of teaching people how to use this very complex software as a programs when they dont even have access to electricity its a tough pushing because most people that are not benefiting from social media the
internet World Wide Web is because of all these climaxes is because of all these postings because you dont have internet they dont have electricity they dont have smart school and they dont even have education enough so i think its more of everyones that the thing to do jumps n. G. O. S Civil Societies individuals private sectors the governments its a collective effort we need a collective effort to do this ok i want to bring in someone who actually works for the Banking Sector were talking about a digital revolution but of course it needs financing africans serious about putting their money where their mouth is. I dont think about where we put our money i think that once you create an idea most of the time youre looking through a finance but maybe you need to talk with that issue. Dots you have provided the idea to 6 or 10 people and then pay you some peanuts but theres a its not believe you to scale up then you can approach a bank and then
a Financial Institution time to actually do the support so ok well lets you know i think that having gone off funding is that the cost of money is quite expensive to go to the bank for a loan its about 26 percent Interest Rate your Interest Rates and the young person. Have an idea and i sense titian to ask you to pay 26 percent we have no financial records right so its quite difficult right here in ghana you know developing an idea ive been scaling it i want to bring in the students here because hes obviously one of the 1000000 euros and hes been looking for a job in the i. T. Set just so were seeing this is good for the continent but it seems theres no space for people like you continue the actually. For the what do you have its like one person will be 100 maybe 2 jobs so one person were supposed to. Sit back and will be doing you are using to freeze is just one person so hes taking the job of
someones elses so should the conflict someone doing you are and so on being back and. Yeah yeah and i think i think thats actually the very Traditional Companies but is changing very fast as you say in separation so some of us in the Gaming Industry now what were doing is creating more jobs with whats a beautiful with all the possibilities of the titles so far has done what i tell people is when tech and Creative Arts come together more opportunities more jobs are created so theres the whole possibility of what big it brings to a space and we just have to be brave enough to dive into the sectors ok i want to bring in who before society has actually. He a Human Rights Activist not a person you would expect to find in a conversation about digital digital laziness and this is going to be stumbling over it today. But you see that then needs to be
a conversation about what we are doing to. Securely with children absolutely. Kids and technology is good we cant do anything about it. Its good we need it for Business Development but the excesses it has creates is they get impacting on our children when it comes to that when it comes to all about vices that are having an impact on children and so they develop the Technology Must come up with measures that will be of use in protecting our children ok well how do you react to that prince being told that innovation could be a problem can be dangerous particularly to children. If you look. Back over the people who play these mobile games in front of the children and all the systems wouldnt place to prevent on this kind of negative sides. In. Order to prevent pops pop ups in order. To damn disruptive theyre not really prepared for it because one. Theres nothing for infrastructure to make a sustainable and true and also the people. And doesnt mean people are not to you know train them you know and to get our skills of course. No village doesnt have a system its to actually make. Transactions so. Theres a disconnect there let me come back to you because you were talking about Digital Literacy so when a person like chris he had developed something destructive are we able to consume it in the way that it has been designed. Thinking of all what. I think they mostly focus on nails just like prince said why is that because of the know how how many women are we training to know all to use the technology we have boasting and
bragging about how many women in the us are actually knowing what is happening on the World Wide Web its very less most women who use technology is mostly to connect with connected Social Media Platforms and into this but a broad number of women using Technology Just like the men are posting about how to digitize things make money easy and all of that a woman actually gets into axis i think this is not much white spoken because the targets are people who already are on the internet to make big things happen in spite of everything that weve spoken about today the 1st Industrial Revolution is africa prepared and does the future look good for us i think we are ready for it but we should also not forget. Informal sector because you have very much importance to lets see how we can include done by cheney and Building Technology to this list solve problems and lets not fool cause attention too much on the problems as a so the problems thank you very much i have to say its been
a very exciting debate i wish we had more time and im obviously feeling like this is a chicken and egg situation im not sure if its humanity 1st and Technology Later or the other way around but in any case thank you for watching. My stay here from i got up people thanks to everyone who participated in austria debates you can watch the whole debates on youtube and send us your comments. Now lets head forever south street spinning is now the Fastest Growing motor sports in south africa was once linked to gangsterism but now a new generation of drivers pushing this subculture into the mainstream you want this adrenaline fueled sports isnt for the faint of heart. The inner. Screeching tires
drawing motors and the empty of adrenaline this is the launch of South African Street Speaking fun kebab a bit spinning its like a drug you have to be pretty fast for me to understand its turning is all about. The truth and i mean. You know just to feel yourself being free from the rules i simply see how many death defying stunts you can perform before the engine gives out spinning evolved during the 1980 s. At the height of the Appetite Regime expensive cars which while considered Status Symbols of White Supremacy was stolen and used to perform stunts as an act of defiance it was also the perfect getaway cars for gangstas. But the north has changed scenes a young generation of spinners has moved the sport off the streets and into venues events like wheels and smoke in the south of johannesburg popping up across the
country. One star of the scene is dealing with grow it is a key he draws excited she is from the crowd as he spins hes caught as close to them as possible and he always wins the competition little. Worse when he was in the woods now its. Not the people and families theyre into it gives one of the going to see their favorites one of. Them or not more than idols in scorning a for you all for needs a good starting to get recruits for the family game the youngsters they want to be with. All those spinning still takes place on the streets the truly wild days and today its seen as a legitimate sport in south africa and is performed much more. Safely in proper venues you can even sign up for a Spinning Course like here at the sweater drifting academy this is the Training Ground of the spinola be muggles
a female only spinning crew they are determined to prove that these kind of sport isnt just for bad boys most of what i do trying to take away all that is stigma that is built into the sport and were trying to take away that people can be can know that they can also comment experience things out of their comfort zone so this is a very great experience so it doesnt make me feel like a look at me he would say. Making. This a way to drift academy is the brainchild of cool a m who funds the Training Sessions himself it is the last step towards ms ultimate goal of launching the last female spinning league he hopes these women will help push the sport even further into the mainstream was to be successful as a brand in this thing of want to sponsor and cause printing we need to involve women and to make sure that we actually make it as much as ive been able to all the people that did live in our society although spinning has its roots in theft
today drivers need to dig deep into their own pockets fixing a busted up cars doesnt come cheap professional spinosa likes to go right in soweto is he spends up to 10000. 00 euros a year just to keep their cars running luckily many spinners are also skilled mechanics. Commercial sponsors are still reluctant to support a sport still largely perceived as illegal. Because right now as we said we dont are any sponsors we dont have perking i dont know anything like for instance marco its a conversion. Of years more term or so but it doesnt come standard. We converted if you have to go to someone a convert. 5 series like this one makes it into a swan call youre going to pay probably and your sense of 60000 and thats quite a lot of money which not
a lot of people have scars wife isnt exactly pleased with the has been so close to the sport of choice but that Doesnt Stop Him from being a regular at the wilson small event every thursday in a society that remains segregated in so many ways spinning isnt Just Entertainment for scottish its also a sport which knocks down racial boundaries luu everyone loves it just brings everyone together as you can see here theres different diversities theres different people youre they all come together for one purpose and to see people and to see a sport that were trying to just cause winning although some veteran spinners are worried that confining spinning to designate at venues east cost into sport its all an emerging young generation of drivers a working hard to improve its reputation so that everybody can let off some steam few things.
