Japanese i did quote i shows us the wrong. Leverage be. From ethiopia and president saudi to botswana many stab or look in a window across the continent women are rising up through the ranks of quality but its not always an easy pop when trying to think feel or zambian. My londell was running for what consular she was threatened and our house was even i topped but she didnt let that intimidation stop. 26 year old to whom by my novel is the youngest water counsellor in zambia visiting a village the young politician is received euphorically she currently re presents 15000 people shes part of a minority at the moment shes hopeful that other young women will follow in her footsteps was one of the 4 young women. So that we were able to talk about our women yeah we. Just heard the girls that were. Present there. Will be i mean is that you know so that people get the call to you yeah 1st arrived here 3 years ago to gain practical experience as a social worker the locals were impressed with how she engaged with the women and children so they asked her to run in the consulate election but the old west talks against hart 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 in the night youd hear the people from the other party you know going to make a phone dont vote for this person youre dont vote for this 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 should not do anything and it was terrible and they would come right through megaphones and 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 i am 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 capitalist during her time as a counsellor was able to channel extra funds into my golda to kickstart new use for structure projects she also helped 700. 00 schoolchildren get study loans and is firmly against Child Marriage unsurprisingly shes now pretty popular among how questi to and its wrong that we know in our country that by the kinds to have. She helps a lot because she knows as well and she has an open yeah there are problems in your life like im a market tonight and jennifer and i my. We are happy with how we work with the community she is a good young lady and want to have to continue helping even older people like myself. With just 9 percent zambia is one of the worst countries when it comes to female representation in local politics although half of the population is under 35. 00 its even harder for young people only 104. 00 parliamentarians represent this Group Lawmakers tonally canonical thinks its time that young people start making their voices heard. What we are seeing now is this age 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 as you see there is this stands for something 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 in the gobi is handing out water canisters but not everyone appreciate suggestions for years politicians would give away money as a form of vote buying some of the locals were hoping for more but bloomberg is up to mistake that the next generation of leaders want to simply be judged by the size of their wallets. What an inspiring young woman we shall all the best in how political korea still in the region this weeks a street debate is in south africa the country has been making headlines over the past month following away will devastating that awful because weve already addressed the topic of the no 4 bia in a previous history debate you can head over to our you tube channel to watch the full version and to add your comments. But today we want to talk about why so many young fell off because they didnt want in these years general election in far over a war to turn out was on the fix to fix offense the westfield the 4th democratic election was held in 1994. But it came on the ask a group of young people in cape town why they didnt turn out toward the fear. 25 years ago south africa went to the polls for their 1st democratic elections and there was euphoria felt across the continent and beyond a quarter of a century later though that enthusiasm for civic duty seems to have fizzled young people are either not registering or showing up to the polls and we want to find out why and i have a real group of people to help me answer that question and will begin with divine he actually lives in this area and you say that voting not for you not for me because basically ever since 1904 up until now weve been promised a lot of things and its so used this that weve been pointing fingers at every party saying that we want this we want that but unfortunately nothing has been devalued weve lost interest because what weve been wanting weve been asking ever since our grandfathers and mothers i mean ive been dealing with ok so let me go to another person who says that voting is not really her cup of tea kitimat seem why is it that going to the polls to the ballots is something youre not interested to be honest and quite frankly i just feel like women and parties and i feel politics in itself South African politics if not Politics Around the world are not in sectional for me my silencers my voice to be honest until i feel like theres a party that will represent me and my needs and the needs of people like me then i wont vote pressure. Has a sort of similar view saying that you are voting but not voting for someone but rather against explain this to me these past elections i had to think strategically here as i live in the western cape and so i voted against the kind of green party and i wasnt really convinced of a particular party because i think that there needs to be a multiplicity of kind of voices in parliament but in terms of who im really convinced of and there hasnt been anyone really so let me come to this le who is actually representing the e f f which is an Opposition Party here quite young how does it make you feel when you hear people here saying the parties are not representative of me theyre only thinking about themselves theyre not doing it its an odd 20 years of democratic dispensation and throughout theres nothing to show at least at a structural level particularly question of young people the 99 to 4 story is a nice story its a nice dream that you know our fathers over the summer have told us but for me to vote but i can pay for school fees doesnt matter for me to vote but im employed what does that mean for me here 50 really is born out of these frustrations that it made it might be borne out of this frustrations but clearly this still a disconnect because divine here is saying i dont care what you stand for im still not going to vote of course its not it was not ever going to be an overnight project but if you really look at the real constituency that if it isnt able to tap into theyve been able to step into a particular constituency amongst young people there is why more and more young people are starting to realise that if it is in fact an organization that speaks to our problems as usual this politician right here sounds like hes campaigning on d w but let me ask how effective are narratives like this for the people behind you is it actually going to effect change so that africa is a country that was deliberately and that developed so part of it a very developed in parts of it and. Developed and its going to take a long time for that to be undone were looking i mean look at this place that we are now if you look across the road youll see that people are living in really magnificent moves and houses with amazing ocean views and yet you know the people that are not even 5 kilometers away from them are living in abject poverty i want to bring in the people who are listening from the back and i just want to ask a simple question how many of you voted in the last election just raise your hands just one person how many of you did not vote wow so weve been talking about young people not voting and majority of those people behind save for one did not vote how does that make you feel. So much hair by our use distanced themselves from the voice the only voice is no longer drugstore ones. Is to save a monday and to do a look. That i think in our daily lives now we come to. You all saying that your party is offering something fresh the u. T. M. That this is a no corrupt posse this is the party of the future do you think the people here listening to you believe that the mistake we made was that we did not communicate in a manner that resonates with young people in particular but also. Issues that face young people hence you have a number of young people who havent voted or. Voting because how does that make you feel by the way as a parliamentarian. A failure as a leader because remember. Exactly the same people who should be targeted in what is also important to people understand there is a lot of people have decided not to vote simply because theyre not actually changed conditions at all so let me ask you when there was elections was what their campaigns here in this area were you seeing a lot of politicians. Yes you did and have you have you seen them back since the election why do you think this. I mean there you only see the politicians the very visible when. Theres of an election taking place but once that is done and theyve taken the votes then boom theyre gone that is why most young people like we just dont go its mostly like our granny our mothers because they still have the lets vote for mandela but mandela. Is gone long gone so i want to come back to precious have been quiet for a while looking forward what do you think needs to happen not just in south africa but the entire continent of africa for young people to be more engaged in their civic duty because whether we like it or hard one of the best ways to voice our opinions i think its important that we know what it means right if we live in a democracy and how we can engage and how we can hold our leaders accountable bethink also there needs to be you know we need Political Parties and leaders need to stop to can i sing and people and take them seriously let me come back to define who we started with i want to close with you what would it take for you to vote in the next election in order for south africa to be the south that the south africa that we wanted to be everyone should be involved everyone should participate in making this place a better place thank you so much for your views and thats a fantastic place to end this discussion a multiplicity of voices is required not just in government but also for the people who have been represented its been a very insightful conversation happening right here in cape town but really it could have been in any corner of africa because the issues brought up here today are really fast spread across africa thank you for watching. What. They are just some of the reasons why people are becoming disillusioned with quality. But should be young people make sure their voices are being heard especially if they want things to change for the better what do you think write to us at 77 at dot com and we will get back to you for our next report we are staying in south africa but the style want to a much happier note with a mix of more dont solve african b.

To work with such a young team who bring a different feel to the music. I. 6 i mean im a very young guy im 20 years old now and i believe that if anything since i have the kids of composing i should be reflecting the times of today and its our duty as a composer as artists to to really put a current feel of what we experience as young people.
