own life began in years
maybe to the beach
the human story began in Africa one hundred thousand
human beings evolved promising the spirit of cooperation
which was the secret to living with one another and rita on the natural
like my greatest in the bowl across the planet
the three hundred years ago we began destroying our environment and threatening whole species
with extinction
as the coveted mother nature's resources societies including because of mankind's insatiable
desire for a minute
today demand remains at the heart of a brief global conflict
botswana the west behind the Zimbabwe I'm standing here in south Africa
the talk shows as three countries
each with a different approach to land
but united by a public trial
Zimbabwe
the gigantic prison camp because Robert Mugabe couldn't all he wouldn't solve that problem
he inherited from the British
botswana
during on traditional African values
in fact is that in common ownership
it is a unique success story on this continent
and here in south Africa
the ANC government is ticking time bomb it still hasn't figured out help unite the races
behind a patent that would benefit economic growth and racial harmony
the key to the secret about communal peace and prosperity is the fact that the policies
for using it is now more than sixty years since the united nations the the universal
declaration of human rights
the EC countries are a microcosm of revealed why the human rights agenda has still not
been fulfilled
these people's human rights on the beach because they are denied access to them
in Zimbabwe Mugabe could blame the white settlers during that period in in his government said
that all the twenty years what about the policies
to restore the rights
of the people who would dispossessed
when he found he couldn't solve the problems of stand firm and biggest frustration its
environment the at least his henchman fast on the white farmers
then on his own people
what was once a prosperous country
which helped defeat it had nightmares became a living hell
these are some of the people thought his victim they fled the country is such a new life
in south Africa
you know you don't he's guilty by a lopsided economic policies people are forced to survive
on the margins of society
understandably they become desperate and distribute filing rights of others
that's what happened in the squatter camps in two thousand eight
more than thirty thousand Zimbabwe and refugees from about these issues
were driven from their homes by rampaging mobs fifty people in the that the President
and the south African faith helps this is happening all over Africa
but it was different in botswana
when it gained independence from Britain something remarkable happened
the constitution was adopted which preserves the social fabric from the hat
every citizen had a direct stake in his own a
today botswana successful because most of the value of the diamonds remains in the country
the diagrams were not used to inflate profits of the to the news corporation
instead they were used to fund people's health education the country's infrastructure
the result
per capita income in botswana least four or five times greater than in neighboring countries
well I think stick to cease fire
child mortality is much lower
and the to see these vials of that in the hands of the husbands
here in south Africa that we have a strange situation under the constitution posturing
the parliament in pretoria
all of them and apparently belongs to the population
this is what the constitution actually says
we the people of south Africa
believe the south Africa belongs to all who live in it
these woods to see
the ANC government
is implementing a land reform
that does not meet all the needs and aspirations of the people
now does that old to be a beacon of light for the whole of sub-saharan Africa
but unemployment is is running at forty percent
you put those in rich agricultural programs thirty six as something to be
it's a strange the jobs of thousands of people
the issue but most of the third time and is now disputed all these atheism and explained
by blacks who said ancestral rights
they bought the land white farmers assert their rights huntington do you mean and it's
a highly productive enterprise is than foreign exchange for the country
that you treat your own this whole field
to keep the heat up
at a great experience and and things to keep the animals out to protect the streets of
the concurrent and not big mature trees
the future of south Africa hangs in the balance
while politicians wrestling with and policies
but now damage the economy
we've got the shock that there was a than flying on this fall
because the grandson
of the couple had a
all the drugs the family that Virginia in the fall that helping with the scalpel
he with in that and parents commission
and was the first to submit that kind of guy is this fall
because black farmers in fact the man with the skill during apartheid
many now lack the skills necessary to run commercial farms the government failed to
provide the necessary training
beforehand
over the river
the total collapse of the six is for me
it was taken over by then
and many of the region's reforms have been taken out of there
that the have failed
it's use
yeah that is not the end
the origin
the program he said
table
that's what that's that's putting their federal that but no
and our brothers
that is our plan been that features about Iraq
for south africans regardless of color old we want the same thing prosperity
free from poverty
they just don't yet know how to achieve this
in the light of the competing claims the land
Frank do you satisfied it's the ones that really need it for a decent standard of living
what's recognizing that they old have and equal right to that
the truth is that the politicians of world leaders that this down
they do not found a formula for resolving the most burning up the issue how do we share
that
so we've got to get on with its how cells and the fact is the if we the to respect each
other's rights we will find a way
to respect nature of conservative and she will yield the fruits of abundance
instead of falsity redistribute income and social and economic progress close when then
known as pay for the public
so this is after the rains
we need to be put out of business company to keep her options stop difference here is
that for the common good
that's the lesson of history and economic theory
the benefits would be she had and the wages of people like ferris need not be taxed in
this way given the letter that have a direct aim at the real state
indeed that that was used by others this is the ethical free market solution the will
begin to states to get a everybody in the community
the united nations universal declaration of human rights this every imaginable entitlements
from the right-to-life to employment and shelter
but the declaration
silence about the president's equal rights for a share in the benefits flowing from the
land
I really I mean really that's is that were inscribed in the ancient wisdom of Africa
we would create a major sustainable of london's
only when we reduced and Michelle relationship with the land is it possible to live in harmony
with the about some of the the legacy of mankind must not be masterful the T and the destruction
of nature
