hello and welcome to the program that hamid south africa's president zuma has vowed to crack down on government corruption and he could end up implicating members of his own party a judicial inquiry into alleged corruption at the top levels of government opened on monday but it doesn't have powers to arrest anybody or seize assets it will examine claims of fraud in the public sector during former president jacob zuma time in office zuma was accused of being under the influence of the wealthy gupta family it's estimated billions of dollars of state funds were stolen using corrupt practices some of the miller reports from johannesburg. the commission of inquiry is expected to hold public hearings until november this year and the commission could continue its work for another two years so this is just it's early days in terms of what south africans may find out in terms of these allegations of corruption that reached the highest level former president jacob zuma and just how far he might have been involved in these allegations the role he played with regard to an influential family here

and south africa to increase that investment in the future to the mutual benefit both of south africans and the united kingdom by let's go live to our correspondent in south africa she's in johannesburg for me to miller for me to say mrs may traveling to africa to the african continent for the first time since she's taken office and she's traveling with a rather large business delegation. and very much of the strippers she says are the snooze partnership is based on what she calls shared prosperity and shared security that very much the focus of this tour around africa the reason mays outlined some of the plans that the u.k. is looking at saying that she wants the u.k. to be the biggest g seven investor in africa by twenty twenty two and so far has announced that six of rather five billion dollars will be invested in african countries and a further five billion dollars from private investors that to come later this is very much about renewing ties with africa looking at various african economies but also cementing the relationship that's been established so far the u.k. to some extent h

this week we are in south africa. the country marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of former south african president nelson mandela. i will be injohannesburg, finding out how the city is reinventing itself, and visiting one of the most spectacular regeneration projects in africa. it's something that was built for the few, and it has been repurposed now and is finding its feet is something for the many. and i will be trying out some home cooking with mandela's personal chef. i am making the simplest meal you have ever had in your life. the wonderful mr mandela used to love to eat it. plus, i will be hotfooting it down to cape town to meet the young ballroom dancers topping to shape the future of the rainbow nation. the amazing thing about seeing the born—free generation, which is, they don't really know how it feels to feel or see segregation. i am in johannesburg, the largest city in south africa, as the country celebrates 100 years since the birth of its most famous son, nelson mandela. jo'burg is where he foun

today mcwane is the south africa coordinator for the gender into urban climate change initiative in south africa the initiative works together with two cities. and johannesburg. dealy is especially interested in introducing climates not an agriculture. we know these things are hunted specks too but park an abandoned greenhouse has now become a community garden. the corporate if grows vegetables and medicine will herb's currently the project provides work for formally joe bliss women. everyone just one more year. with the changing climate agricultural practices have to change to the project teaches women farmers how to adapt sustainably in order to ensure income and food security in the future. so. that was. making themselves heard by policymakers remains a big challenge. the city government had agreed to renovate the green house but cut the funding at the last minute. it's still a long way to go but. we keep raising a lot of voices and keep commenting and. make a commendation. it's work that takes strength and perseverance and. has plenty of both. and that's it for me what africa this wee

they do not understand that south africa is a very very different country. ok i am going going forward and do you think that the plan as it has been put forth. can be successful. well there are a number of different land reform plans that are under consideration there is a general agreement in south africa on the need for land reform but there is no consensus about how to go about doing it and there are a variety of ways that it can be done for example the government owns substantial amounts of land there is also a substantial amount of land that is felled by tribal trusts land in those two categories is easier much easier to redistribute than land that is in private ownership. in terms of land in private ownership the situation is considerably more complicated than the rhetoric would allow for in south africa as in the united states increasingly large commercial farms are operated by corporations they're not operated by small family farmers again just as there's an important distinction to be may between a land in urban areas and land in rural areas the sho

africa south africa. and office social change especially the native people of our land to say to the realities that. people in south africa still and less at this stage in time they are people of south africa yes you know at this stage in time and we believe that south africa needs a massive shift from the colonial system that seeks to deprive the native child of day out over. the long. it's like the. economy where we understand your country is about to allow a taking land from white farmers with no compensation it's not such a good idea because when you think about what's been happening in nearby zimbabwe the country began to decline after a very similar measure taking the land away from white farmers but then the people who the land was given to they didn't bother to work their land we believe that their government of pity in south africa hasn't done enough to look up a city to the people of our land to where they live and also intrude we should stress this point that land is not only. is understood mos

seven investors in south africa that's after brecht's it gets included next march the u.k. is a major export destination for many south african products as is the netherlands zimbabwe japan and yes the united states many question prime minister may's ability to deliver on the south african investment pledge considering the precarious position in which the u.k. finds itself with regard to bracks it and the p.m.'s personal political popularity in the u.k. however south african president cecil ramaphosa who was elected earlier this year is the fifth post apartheid president replacing former president jacob zuma could certainly use the u.k. investment as he is undertaking efforts to ignite the nation's economy after a decade of stagnated growth in july chinese president xi jinping visited south africa and play. fourteen point seven billion dollars of investment in the nation over the years the south african economies begun to move away from once particular will be profitable sectors based upon natural resources those like diamond mining and agriculture and towards where knowled

discrimination abuse and violence racial tensions in south africa have been running high for decades and now with just one sweet u.s. president donald trump has managed to inflame an already tense situation that is by weighing into the debate over land ownership and a country that has been jordi black most farms are owned by the white minority tribes comments have been slammed by south africa's government as misinformed so listen to what the tweet says that he wrote this on twitter i have asked secretary of state my pump aoe to closely study the south africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers south african government is now seizing land from white farmers truck hauling and large scale killings does not stack up to the facts according to agra say a group of hundreds of agricultural associations the killing of white farmers has actually had a twenty year low forty seven were killed last year at the peak of the violence in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight one hundred fifty three farmers were killed it is a sensitive topic because seven

the foam in south africa's houten province was bought by yuan father. the elderly couple lived just a few hundred meters from their son and his family. corn cattle and wild game were produced on the thousand hectare site but now operations are at a standstill the way forward unclear. murders like this one have become all too common in south africa the commercial farmers union town says eighty two people have been murdered in the last year alone most of them white farmers or. the mood here is tense the attacks of opened up old wounds white farmers still own seventy two percent of private farmland despite making up just eight percent of the population. it's the legacy of apartheid when black south africans were systematically dispossessed of their land and disenfranchised the resulting socio economic inequality remains palpable to this day. some farmers have formed their own community watch groups patrolling together to protect themselves and their property the most isolated farms from the easiest targets police protection far from guaranteed. the telling

in south africa equality is enshrined in the last surely. i think we also have to take into context into consideration that violence is embedded in south africa's history right violence comes from we have a long history of violence in this country and to talk about african culture as if this doesn't happen within a context where this country with. this country was while most black people in this country where exposed to white violence and how that into things with masculinity particularly hyper masculinity with poverty and all those things so i don't know how to talk about african culture as if african culture exists on its own it exists within a system that exists within patriarchy and even though we do have all these laws that a supposed to ensure equality this is not happening on the streets people need to be taught that you're not allowed to grab a woman while she's walking on the street you're not allowed to force a woman to have six which is called rape because you feel entitled to have id. you were not in there as well tennyson in new

the president of south africa has begun -- and you may have seen this in the press -- seizing land from his own citizens without compensation because they are the wrong skin color. that is literally the definition of racism. racism is what our elite say they dislike most. donald trump is a racist, they say, but they pay no attention to this at all. in fact, the president is one of barack obama's favorite leaders in the world. in a speech just a few weeks ago, obama praised him, he praises the racist government of south africa and the president by name for "inspiring hope throughout the country." does our current bureaucratic elite agree with that? apparently they do. we called over to the state department for comment on south africa's land seizures, which should be getting worldwide attention because they are immoral, but are getting basically none, and the state department replied with what is honestly an unbelievable statement. we are going to quote it for you at length. here it is.
