christine want to welcome to news africa i'm glad you're chewing didn't we're pushing this stigma on hiv aids in focus today because just a few days ago a south african him being made his status public it was ofter an x. partner thracian to expose her on facebook tells me more tyros deal will so someone is threatening to reveal my status to you all but let me save him the hassle of doing it i have nothing to hide but also some things are not necessary to share with people it doesn't affect but since i've been threatened let me do it because i don't take kindly to threats i'm hiv positive and have been now for ages possibly mall and she went on to say perhaps these threats are a good thing it has made me add my voice to the d's stigmatize ation that is still embedded in our society. so just how bad is hiv aids related stigma in our communities we took all cameras and people told us some of the reasons why they wouldn't want their hiv status to be public knowledge . because of this to my city my theories on all of this. you should. look i would never let people nerves are my street course there are a lot only my part in it is my status my private life but i'm going to keep it's my safe bank account there are people. there is in being the bad pizza say they mean i'll be different and use that isolates in me from our few dark it is something that people should keep in their personal life and told those in their personal lives not something that's for the public to know exactly is where i keep it to myself that i am. don't go house because it's look it but i was in some people would say ok don't trust no she has a child we. don't go near her don't date her because she has this virus as if you have a virus it's like it's the end of the world leaders to talk more about this we've invited edwin cameron he's a judge on south africa's constitutional kolisch justice cameron has spent many is behaving hiv aids campaigns and activism while comes to. justice cameron it's been twenty since you went public about have hiv positive are you disappointed that in two thousand and nineteen people in africa also ostracized and discriminated against for being hiv positive. i think i wouldn't say disappointed because that sounds as though they've done but it's a terrible calamity for our country and for our continent meant that this disease that saw attended by so much discrimination so much stigma and also so much internalized shame twenty years of medication become available of good fourteen years off to government started providing treatment so it's a great impediment continuingly to our management of the epidemic. just as common people as you've alluded to in terms of the grounds that the world has made in terms of the medication people with hiv today can lead very normal and healthy lives and i just want to get your take on why do you think that it's taking so long to sort of the bank or the the the sort of stigma that's associated with having a. i think it's a deeply personal thing the shame of infection through sexual transmission i think it's that it's difficult to explain no other disease is attended by quite this amount of shame and especially internalized internal shame so it's hard to say and that's hard to deal with a lot so one must remember it took nearly fifty years in north america to get the cigarette smoke right down from forty percent to eighteen percent so dealing with public attitudes to disease and to health seeking behaviors is always a very complicated thing. jess's cameron one says is is is their private business you know and i think you know when we talk about you know would you be public about hiv status as as we're listening to people before we did this interview and if somebody is private business but we're talking about how we met ties hiv aids and it seems like that's the only way to do that when public figures like yourself come out and say i'm living with this and i'm getting a very normal life but then that's asking people to to make public what should be personal what they should be allowed to keep is there any way that we can get to to statement be. it would be a wonderful way and you write about it you know that's a good for virus for for nearly twenty two years and i've got almost the same expectation of life as a sixty five year old man in good health like me would have without trying to be but a slow am one of the very few perhaps the only public figure in the whole of africa who has spoken about the so it's very difficult i don't see that are also people dispute aren't encourage other people to do it only so that if they could do it if they could come that difficulty the fear of discrimination of the shy and it would be enormously hopeful it would mean a huge amount of soccer stars and into ten men stalls and the public figures speaking freely and easily about. dealing with this disease all right just to scamming thank you for all the benefits of doing all the activism you've put in that is south african causational court judge edwin cameron speaking to us there thank you. story is about bauhaus a state of origin a scene in germany one hundred years ago it's characterized by the form follows function buildings defied by lions in an absence off suppose a famous ornamentation it was the revolutionary at the time and has influenced all he takes across the wool one major example is found in nigeria the university off initiated by paul scofield to reassure on. the faith in southwestern nigeria sharon's campus for the university of you faith is open carry and well suited to the tropical climate and it makes a statement for the bauhaus opened in one nine hundred sixty two just two years after nigeria gained independence the university became a symbol for the fledgling democracy back then modernism was progressive and today to the ideas about how stood for have a future can they still provide answers to the question how do we want to live for instance in lagos nigeria's largest city which changes by the minute. you know she know is an architect and a child of modernism she studied and lived in london if it remains an inspiration for her. when we had monism come in that in the years of any post-colonialism the architects that came of the day. i'm not the architecture that has really formed the structure of the city of on the any modernism of the forty's fifty's and sixty's still a lot of texture. shows you know she no one has returned to her homeland today she lives and works in lagos she loves the city's wild and creative side. lego's just grows and grows today it's africa's second largest. and one of the world's most populous somewhere between colonialism and modernism nigerian architects are creating their own design language one that seeks to meet the challenges of everyday life. increasingly their focus is on the mega-cities what was considered as african tenets of the within the rule and i'm not saying the we need to be realistic and design more appropriately for the city that we live in we have to face the fact that in the city of some people see something with a twenty two we need to live in a smaller and smaller spaces. like a molecular and new ultra modern and market district phase one of this project is already complete to see if you know what is constructing minimalist housing units similar to ones built around the globe architecture must adapt to changing lifestyles we need to be forward thinking we always need to reflect. on how living in a city is evolving and changing i mean the whole world has changed and particularly living in smaller and smaller spaces being more practical the demographic is changing how people live the family units is being redefined you know and we need to make sure that we produce an architecture that suite flex that. functional economic and space saving so this is the start of the two bedroom apartment so it's open plan kitchen it's really about i think efficient living. apartments like this one are still a rarity and lagos built for millennia old so you aren't home much. everything has a purpose. there's no ornamentation this property we have used in the mines i'm color to form and i think it's been quite successful but. it's a stark contrast to other aspirational districts popping up with their pompous colonial style structures ornate pillars and decor otieno ok. sitter's them a passing fad. caution is always a period based there's no guarantee that this building in another ten years will be an eyesore because there's got to many of its buildings need to be timeless even the bell household it's in a beautiful building it's timeless buildings can't afford to be fashionable. ariel sharon's university of effect is timeless this architectural milestone is a building with character africa is also part of the house imagine easter and international exhibition project that celebrates the boathouse school its legacy and its capacity for promoting trans cultural exchange. toso you know she know well is one of a new generation of nigerian architects meeting here looking for answers to pressing questions and discovering how the bauhaus remains relevant today. what's made boho so vital to this day and keep it that way is that it follows very basic ideas so it poses questions like how do we want to live in the future.
