And my safety feature. On the poor liberias capital monrovia. The Housing Market across africa is our hot topic today on the fringes of big cities such as niggas or nairobi you see rows of new york corrugated iron shacks in the media there are four times as many flimsy shocks done properly built houses and surprisingly People Living in the area around the capital in talk are growing more and more frustrated with the situation. Like these young men maybe and are fed up tens of thousands have joined the Youth Movement affirmative repositioning or are full shot the
groups protests have drawn the biggest crowds seen since and of a part fate their demands to the government a clear Affordable Housing with electricity Running Water and Sewage Services i was i was killed was. That he was he was he. Was he was leading i can you would i to see the extent of the problem you need to look no further than the capital windhoek as prices have continued to rise more and more people have been forced into renting overpriced shocks on the outskirts of the city. Seven years ago poor rat she was not left her village in the north and the media and came to study in windhoek unable to afford city prices she rented
a shock father out in the car to tour a township the name cut to two rock translates from the local heroes language as the place where no one wants to leave. Its already had in here the government is to be blamed they dont want to look at people who have no incomes they dont think of those people they out the they call see the ball with money but without money. We need also places george is one of the founders of the movement who was born and grew up in ca to tura used to be part of the leadership of the ruling partys few sleeker but in Two Thousand And Fourteen he was expelled from the party for occupying a plot in an Upmarket Windhoek suburb Three Hundred to Four Hundred Thousand people in winter. And about seventy percent of these people are staying in shacks. Since independence. Been connecting to be has not serviced me out of it in the local in the in the low income group the only therapist edwins in the upper market in the upper middle class. Sectors building roads Electricity Networks and c words for new housing is expensive emanuel paulose is responsible for providing land for development on this site the city plans to build Three Hundred thirty new houses its a Pilot Project which he hopes will help young people struggling with the Housing Crisis we are going its not mine and by going that extra mile. Past the Consulate Solution or seeing you know what is going to be sold we go from there is supposed to be our what we are. But few young people can afford to buy land for Fifty Thousand Euros the money supply that is currently not servicing land in
informal settlements like those in ca to tura but consul apolo say start such projects in the pipeline perhaps thats a small consolation for poor. Out love to have a please where access to what this that i dont have to go out and go five to fish for that and a place where im excess to clean toilets. It doesnt look like Property Prices here will be falling anytime soon but poorer and friends already planning what their dream house would be like. Now with a Population Set to double in africa within the next thirty years the pressure on the already struggling Housing Market could get worse for many the solution is to live in makeshift shelters like shocks but is this really a long Term Solution in this weeks streets debate our reporter either to money
speaks with residents in nairobi slum districts kabera to gets to the heart of the issue. We are in Nairobi Kenya more specifically kibera it is infamously known as one of the biggest slums in africa and when you look at it its easy to see why i mean people are packed into really small shacks in a really small area and it really goes to show how big the problem of housing in this country is and i want to begin with someone who actually lives here. He tells me his name means navy blue but you say living here is not so pleasant when you. Everything is sounding a little depressing right now but where is the problem i mean you are in the Construction Business you made your work is to ensure that not only do we have housing but the proper house is always a problem all these years as we grew rapidly in africa we do need to our house and i mean right now we are talking nairobi alone meet two million houses for families like us they need two million that is already pending every year we need Two Hundred Thousand we must be building but when we talk about Affordable Housing for the people who are watching in the background what does that mean to you affordable give me a price range what does that look like for you Affordable Housing would be Something Like the really low less than whats that for you less than Five Thousand i think Fifty Dollars Fifty Dollars for rent so would we move you know because in kibera there were these houses which were built to remember and then people moved into them and then they moved out of them so margaret to ask if the government
comes here today and says do you hear youve been in a party icon a magic on a steamer like New Hampshire at the end of the month to Five Thousand would you move in there are no no no because according to come i mean me so the. Scenario i love and i can use in about an. Indian is in the uk where pneumonia but certainly going to machine the camera Over The Limit in your menu new. On now youre nodding youre nodding. I mean the ordinary salary for most People Living in nairobi is around one hundred Fifty Dollars to One Hundred Dollars this house does not come guaranteed with water i mean even if you cost you Fifty Dollars you still have to pay full for electricity you still have to cater for for for i mean for the utilities you still have to cater for water so that even makes it more expensive so i think. Even that fight Fifty Dollars is still very exorbitant for someone living in kibera or yes you did you can not have a house in the period by by not discussing like you cannot separate people from
life to do what you really must to worry about income per capita you can only believe in a good house if you can incorporate all right so what im hearing is im hearing many things coming from wrong or ive heard that number one government is not providing enough housing number two the housing the provide a too expensive and we are also corrupt and were also saying that were comfortable we actually dont mind am i wrong so is there really a Housing Problem or are we just what are we saying here i would start by saying that there actually is a Housing Problem and you know you asked about responsibility it is soley the responsibility of the government to provide these things in collaboration with International Players and investors and all the sort of people most of these people that we elect to going to present us in government are people who are corrupt people who would want to eat out of getting us these houses which is our constitutional guarantee and that is basically the whole problem so then youve told me that politicians are responsible and yet youre the ones who elect the
corrupt ones so surely until youre responsible you dont say politicians are responsible the government is responsible the government is book which will politicians come and go ok so were here advocating you know the youth i was stand our position are we really holding our Government Accountable who is going to solve this i think the first thing that we need to do especially when it comes to our elected leaders is one of the mandates of our elected leaders is to come up with the solution we need dont have a legislation that would ensure that economic and social rights such as housing are actually implemented so we dont have an education in tunis and one of the functions of the parliament is to come up with a decision that says ok so this is how we are going to prevent housing across the country and thats where even the problem of slum areas can actually be done away with we would have been very happy to ask the government about this but unfortunately we invited quite a number of officials actually all of whom said they felt. Some reason i couldnt be here today but its all right weve heard that we have to be responsible legislation but you know hearing all these things its kind of hard to imagine that
we will ever get out of this cycle looking at the future and the industry do you see any possible solution out of the ground and should continue to push for policy that allows. Because until people who are making money providing decent announcing it will be very difficult because even as a country would our way to be with the debt that we have id be unlikely that the government can find out in the coming years who we really must rely on private sector right to live on so multilateral and then a significant component of the local and create jobs for for young people because were talking about Seventy Seven percent of africans being young you need to create opportunities for Income Inequality Problem make sure that you have local investors and also diversify sources of financing any of the solutions what can you and i do solutions now look at these. And compare the length of government how many and how many. Policies i dont think. Any
harm ive been committing the policies thats really another solution is the mentality is so deep that it requires. So that to be told this is whats happening is what we should do to achieve what we really want thank you those are some really interesting Point Solutions solutions the solution. I have the story of Corruption Cutting across every time and every time and i think we as kenyans normalized corruption and we think it is right that we looted and then with we keep quiet we want people to come out and speak for themselves were not going to normalize anything anymore we want the government to understand that theyre making policies about when the implementing them theyre looting us no we dont want to be looted any more and they will see us on the roads they will placards on the even strikes any to. Until they can deliver everything they promised and they did two or three of us thank you very much thats all we had time for and this is the beautiful thing about the Seventy Seven percent of the issues are real and thats why people
get angry but so are the solutions and unfortunately we didnt have a key player here government they want able to be here but i sure hope theyre watching this because there are a lot of solutions and it looks like its an uphill task for them and as weve had before the seven to seven percent thank you for watching. Now for more on our streets debates just go to youtube dot com slash d. W. Africa or search for the Seventy Seven percent there you can watch their full debate with it it can money. Providing a forum for africas youth to discuss and debate issues thats what the Seventy Seven percent is all about let me introduce you to the segment called wheel where we regularly speak to our african correspondents on the ground about the issues that matter most it will leave no stone unturned to find out what they used to

If you want to go president will have resigned not to run into little though no one the minimum age for people running for Political Office in one. Move was a direct result of the. Online Campaign Hash Tag not to young to run which attracted the support of me we are of young people across the country however many young people are not encouraged to participate because of high costs of running for Political Office as well as all that challenges like Election Rigging and forth by
