And that in turn nothing yet you want to become citizens. Into migrants your platform for reliable information. This is the news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes south africas a. N. C. Leads to find out how strong its vote on ta is the fastest at the polls for so runoff and his promise of a fresh start with corruption. Will that be enough. That the people in south africa get jobs because the thing that there we had to queue up we
came but. I havent met other people. Who keep. Coming out stress indeed sons of young women in politics to meet a young sound young politician whos people in the way for change country. Welcome to the program so africas govern an African NationalCongress Faces in nail biting wait for the officer is all its 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 votes are being counted and percentages at the independent Electoral Commission to result center a changing by the minute. President s around the process just after casting his vote here still confident about virtuous approaching the same seat. They can see that with their votes they are had are doing a new deal and youre beginning at a new at the period of three new police force 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 h. Got into the way and not focusing on the needs of our people got into their 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. You know for the people that are employed. I hope to get something up to. Speed through the door for jobs those kind of thing so im hoping that they believe that it is jobs stop corruption which is the main course in a. 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. From on this im joined by a professor kalibo who. 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 a. N. C. Has lost even more supports maybe not just marched us to it but how long can they rely on old loyalties as the National Liberation movement. Montreal the whole of the Liberation Movement the that we have liberated you is the African National congress we have been in previous elections for instance in the twenty four elections and even beyond the time when they fought president jacob zuma to. Two thousand and nine in my view is that at the out they dont because they have their current generation. These are the ones who are on during the time of my Nelson Mandelas presidency just off the ninety ninety four or many of them in the twentys twenty five years old. You dont associate with this Liberation Month you know going to them because they had you dont have any other
connection or The Cost Of Living joining up so it goes on the ones that you would definitely need with this Liberation Month and many of us including them says that we conduct suggests that you know that. Metaphor or that montreal is quite outdated because if you look in the region not only in Zimbabwe Zambia and other countries. I think its almost as much weight nowadays ok the a. N. C. Run the company and see about. Corruption our else could be how. To gain support for the party. One way. To use what we call the more meaning that. The happiness. Because as you as i hit it in the. Lives he was talking about that he knew of that he has been talking about since
november twenty eighth during the African NationalCongress 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 tie at nine years or last year is the quantity its about the god of jacob zuma so he said didnt you i miss that shes 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 baggage it is increasingly being. Built into a multiracial sense out of this Liberal Party however it does and it has been
thats one thing as you know the significance of all it all five is mostly black youth and the middle class however it cannot shake off this dilemma of being a party that you know most of us today which is of white people the one small white minority in south africa and therefore there is nice trust among them and mostly. About the way that this party is that genuinely multiracial. Or with aids just in white in disguise come into that you have. To guess my name if no money has this Fire Authority we seize their right to two million tents for some of the of course the end of one just trust because they believe that they you know they need such and you know company and so on but some of these misuses been just to meet intended to run the kind of the you know reform is that you know sector of the society so to that extent thats why they have not managed to cash into the laws of the agency ok professor. Chair of the
department of Political SciencesUniversity Of South Africa pretoria thank you very much thank you. Now across africa young women rising through the ranks in politics and business. Points and young people ministers into many celebrated. Point Government Ministers held by women but its another story for Village Councils where young people and especially women. Represented we met with a young. Way for change in their country. Twenty six year old. Youngest two hundred pounds live in from visiting a village the young politician 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 footsteps. So that. President. Will be. You know some of the people in the country and yeah 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 stealing something that was rightfully theirs and. People from the other party going with their megaphone dont vote for this person youre dont vote for
these 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 councillor i should not do anything and it was terrible and they would 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 rule ask it of the capitalists aka during her time as a counselor i was able to channel extra funds into my golda to kickstart new Infrastructure Projects she also helped Seven Hundred schoolchildren get study loans and is firmly against Child Marriage and surprisingly she is now pretty popular among how questi to and its wrong that we dont know when i feel that i
that comes to have a good and awesome though she has a lot of Question News as well and she has an open yeah our problem is you know ive gotten a lot of im a Mock Up Tonight and jennifer and i my. We are happy with how we work with the community she is a good young lady and we 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 youth 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 dance for certain changes that have kept huge political powers in africa in place for a long time and that can only be changed. When there is new blood new ideas and pushing that agenda. Back in the mongo bill is handing out water kind of status but not everyone appreciates the guest for years politicians would give away money as a form of vote buying some of the locals were hoping for more but if up to a mistake that the next generation of leaders want to simply be judged by the size of their wallets why is it important that young people young women should want a body and this is why i think what we have an idea we have that you know getting it seems we have that they knew the mindset that we are a new generation and invite dont do it nobody is going to buy out i doubt they all
would know eventually bloomberg gets in and also distributes some money after all peoples are to toots change slowly and there is still unknown and difficult road ahead for bloomberg and other Young African pollutants but progress is already being met.
