there is no new music in south africa. in africa, period. there is plenty of...? the most recognised african musicians internationally are those that come from heritage music. that doesn't mean there are not people sticking to their traditions in their music. there are plenty playing on the continent who are popular. you accept that? if you can give me an example. miriam macaba's daughter, she sticks hard to local music in south africa. there are people who are singing in zulu and whatever. i mean don't get played on the radio, like hip—hop artists and djs, that is what has taken over. if you sang a song today, would it be a happy or sad song? a happy or sad song for africa? if i had to sing a song for africa it would be a song of wish and it would be down with the borders of 1886, that would be my song. hugh masekela, thank you very much for coming on hardtalk. i don't shake hands, do you mind if i hug you? laughs. yeah, sure. hello there. after the downpours and gales of wednesday, the weather prospects for thursday look a little bit quieter. this curl of clou

particularly africa. africa is the origins of humanity. and you must therefore respect your origins. president trump's origins and his roots are in africa, the umbilical cord of his fore bears is in africa. so we expect respect from him. but we also expect him to play his role in promoting growth for the people of the world. the united states is too big an economy not to play its historic and proper role. >> so in that regard, you've seen that under the trump administration, first of all, they are apparently no ambassador, u.s. ambassador to south africa, and there still isn't the top level of state department officials for africa. and president trump seems to have given trade a much bigger role than development or aid to africa. and, in fact, he said to his african colleagues recently that africa has tremendous potential to have some friends going to your countries trying to get rich. is that the kind of engagement that you hope for from the united states? >> no. i hope -- the engagement that we should have with the united states should b

have you been to africa? do you know how about countries? does the president know? he likes to make up countries not in africa but actually incredibly developed and well-off countries. in fact when the president was speaking to black african leaders talking about rich friends making money in africa. >> you're leaving a lot out. heard from acosta and previous, talking about countries doing better economically, norway, countries in asia. didn't name specific countries in asia. talking around the world. why specifically say carve-outs from countries economically distressed. so willing to generalize as all asians as working hard and deserve the merit of coming here but all africans not. how is that not race? >> he's making point should be individuals. >> so everybody in asia is hardworking and deserves to come here? >> that's not what he said. whole point is should be merit-based system like canada does it, points based system. smart comprehensive idea. >> can we -- >> van i want you to respond to that. >> trying to make it sound like -- go ahead van. >> i give you a fo

in africa we have africa and paul bugame. he will soon be sworn in as the chairman of the african leader. he has accomplished great things for his k he has also established himself as a highly influential figure in the african heads of state because he has set a bold vision for the future of africa that is autonomous, self-sufficient and open for business. this vision is 100% complement troy what the united states policy should be in africa. in recognizing this -- and recognizing this it is my hope that the trump administration will embrace him and rwanda as the american friends that they are. we need to bring rwanda close so that we can work cooperatively with them to accomplish our shared goal. rwanda and america are like-minded friends and we should treat them accordingly. so let me conclude with a personal story that expands a little bit on this. i had an experience in 2000. in 200 identifies called by a friend are in rwanda. his name was charles muragandi. he called up and there's been a program that i've been involved i

how worried are you about corruption in south africa? deeply worried, because corruption tends to be a very negative action that is taken by corrupters against the nation. it impedes growth, it is something that takes away the resources that are meant to advance the lives of our people, and it puts it in the hands of a few, and it is a criminal act, and that is why i have been determined that we should rid our country of corruption, because it has become all pervasive. the good thing, though, is that we have identified it, and we are now taking action against it. if you were serious about taking action, i put this to you, when you became leader of the anc in december, investor confidence in south africa shot up. it would shoot up even more if you were president, wouldn't it? i guess, yes, there would be such a response, because my campaign message leading up to the december conference when i was elected was pivoted around corruption, not because it was so much just to get elected, but it was a national issue that people wanted action to

the president has just inaugurated the largest solar center in western africa exactly. as it does an opportunity we're seeking to combine solar energy with thermal power we won't withdraw completely from thermal energy. we're going to combine the two. guys with the idea is to provide the entire country with electricity. from nuclear power then. there's an important link between poverty and the environment. what do you mean you have. resources invoking a fast so are natural resources the environment minister invoking afonso today is called the minister for the environment green business and climate change by choosing green business we want to manage natural resources in a rational and fair way to ensure that they're better distribute it because we're also thinking of future generations but enough so is convinced that there's a lot left to explore in the environmental sector and that it represents a real opportunity for us because it allows us to create new jobs and generate income for our population. and i think the lesson. there all the best of that and then we move on
