the trip aims to expand trade with africa as britain prepares to leave the eu next year, as our africa business editor larry madowo explains. it is an attractive trade partner for the uk, certain it has been it is an attractive trade partner for the uk, certainly it has been for the eu which is the single largest trading partner, but now the uk will have to do it alone starting march 2019. that is why the prime minister is bringing her brexit road show as it were to south africa, the biggest trading partner with the uk. very rich in minerals, so they will be trying to make sure that they can continue to access the uk market after brexit. she will be heading to nigeria next, which does not refine oil, the uk buys a lot of nigerian oil and sells it back when it's refined to nigeria, and then to kenya where a lot of agricultural products end up in the uk. lord boateng was the british high commissioner to south africa between 2005—2009. he told us mrs may's visit was long overdue. i think it's very important, a welcome visit. there hasn't been a british prime minister in africa for about

and they are based here in south africa and what you often find is does this desire of. the white students to you know serve this environment and help africa in a very romantic sense but on the flip side you've got african-americans who come here and i'm looking for an idyllic sense of home magic sense of a reconnection with their roots which there is a little bit shallow because the i don't know but africa and the homeland that you're looking at is messy complex and people who were born and raised just trying to figure out themselves and so i think i'm that when the desire is very romantic and when that is lacking context it's just on the ground what is happening within the country it becomes problematic and at times a little bit difficult for us as locals and africans to engage with you realistically as a foreigner coming into the space to try and find something in this like spiritual mecca it's very complicated kalen why i think that's kind of like. first i think there's a misconception that i've seen thrown around that african-americans you know across the board like

it is called the africa -- the jobs for youth in africa program. it will be supporting african countries to create 25 million jobs for the next 10 years. that will be in different areas. agriculture, i cte areas, i believe also a huge opportunity is to be tapped in africa when it comes to digital technology and we are looking -- we are working quite a lot in africa to do this. i want african young people to thrive and prosper in africa. they make the perilous trips that i see. i think a more v vibrant africa that invest in its young people is able to keep them engaged on the continent is the way to go. >> president of the african develop an egg. thank you for coming on dw. >> you're welcome, thank you. >> returning to our top story and the development, iran is threatening to shut down the street of homeless in response to sanctions. it links the indian ocean with the gulf. it is the crucial route. on average, 19 million barrels of petroleum is transported every day to the rest of the world. almost one third of all oil traded at sea passes through t

making a lot of overtures, the prime minister in africa, what does africa have to offer in terms of trading and investment? the first thing to say is south africa and africa offer so much more than minerals and if we look particularly in a disrupter economy world which were in, africa has services to offer and disruptor economy enable that. our economies are now increasingly sophisticated, five of the fastest—growing economies in the world are in africa. if we look as i mentioned the disruptor companies and economies, if you look at the disruptor is like google and investment into nigeria, google for nigeria, the global ceo was there last year and they did another event this year. they see the potential and the entrepreneurship coming out from africa. another disru ptor, and the entrepreneurship coming out from africa. another disruptor, air b&b, hosting a global african travel summit in cape town in september it soi summit in cape town in september it so i think that global companies see how much value there is in africa and not just in how much value there is in africa and notjust in mi

and to see africa asa trade with africa. and to see africa as a market opportunity, not simply as a market opportunity, not simply asa as a market opportunity, not simply as a basket case for philanthropy and oda. and when you describe other countries having been investing and paying more attention to africa before is now, look at what china has been doing, building projects including dams, ports, railways, telecommunications, huge amount of chinese investment. when you look at the statistics, trade between china and africa, $188 billion. africa and the uk, $36 billion. is it too late for the uk to try to turn things around? i don't think it is too late, but i don't think one should underestimate the urgency of the task and the extent to which we have fallen behind. if you take south africa as an example, yes, britain is one of south africa's main investors into that country, but if you look at the export balance of trade, south africa exports more to us than we do to south africa. if you take the big infrastructure investme

south africa, sub—saharan africa, and africa itself, it is obviously going to have the fastest growing population after the next couple of decades and alongside that, enormous opportunities for growth and investment and for advanced established companies looking for new markets in africa, it is extremely pertinent. thank you for your time. we will keep you up to date with theresa may's trip to africa, how she gets on. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. president trump says the us and mexico have reached a new trade agreement after months of difficult negotiations. it's a major step in the discussions towards a new north america free trade agreement. canada is due to resume trade talks with the us later today. we'll have more on this later in the programme. more from new york in a few moments. the french government is making contingency plans in case brexit negotiations fail to reach a deal. french prime minister edouard philippe says the plans will include arrangements for british citizens living in france and ensure fluid border controls after the uk exits

and they are based here in south africa and what you often find is there's this desire for. the white students to you know serve this environment and help africa in a very romantic sense but on the flip side you've got african-americans who come here and i'm looking for an idyllic sense of home magic sense of a reconnection with their roots which there is a little bit shallow because the i don't know but africa and the homeland that you're looking at is messy complex and asked people who were born and raised just trying to figure out themselves and so i think i'm that when the desire is very romantic and one that is lacking context i was just on the ground what is happening within the country if it becomes problematic and at times a little bit difficult for us as local south africans to engage with you realistically as a foreigner coming into the space to try and find something in this like spiritual mecca it's very complicated kalen why i think that's kind of like. first i think there's a misconception that i've seen thrown around that african-americans you know across the

so what is the value of the uk's trade with africa? let's ta ke the uk's trade with africa? let's take the top five economies in africa for britain's exports for goods. 0ver africa for britain's exports for goods. over the last ten years and has not been a huge amount of change, between five and £7 billion a year. that might sound like a lot, but it is less than we export to for example spain. in total, we export 8.4 billion pounds of goods to africa every year. it sounds pretty good. the total amount we export to the european union, £164.1 billion. and what about the pm's pledge to be the biggest foreign investor in africa among the g7 countries? those are the largest economies in the world. well, we are nearly there already. the us investor and £44.3 billion, the uk just already. the us investor and £44.3 billion, the ukjust behind at £42.7 billion, the ukjust behind at £42.7 billion and france, the third biggest g7 investor, £38 billion. but look at this, in 2011 china invested just £17.8 billion in africa. by 2016, that figure had grown to £41.1 billion. at that

we are saying that africa is not the africa of yesteryears. we are a much more open society. we are much more democratic and all these issues, as you are asking today, all of the numbers, all the facts are out there. and what we are saying is that we want to get the best deals. and make sure you get the best dealfor the africans. will that be the nature of what you discuss with theresa may, the british prime minister, when you meet this week? absolutely. what is your message to her? we wish to say that we are keen on investment to help us fill our infrastructure gap. we are keen on investment that will partner in accordance to what the kenyan social economic demands are for our development, keen on health, keen on housing and keen for food security and on manufacturing to create jobs for our people. we are keen on leveraging notjust in terms of investment but also on our location, on the investment we have made in our young men and women who are ready to take on the world. so when you meet theresa may, the british prime minister this week in nairobi, do you feel that post—b

in south africa, as you know the bricks meeting just finished in south africa last week. they have a lot of economic influence, trying to gain more, try to sell them nuclear power. they have economic deals and probably a lot of mining and dine operations going on involving russian cooperation as well. south africa and russia are very friendly. i would not be surprised if there are operations, commercial operations going on that nobody really wants to talk about in public, given what we know about the previous government that south africa, and the russian government, mr. zuma has a will and reputation for corruption. they are probably using south africa's will as a base for other diplomatic, political and maybe even military intelligence operations. what is very clear is that africa is an expanding area for the russian military, foreign, and foreign affairs and business communities. mozambique, angola, rwanda, south africa and so on. traditional means of influence are mining, energy, including nuclear energy, arms sales and obvious enough use of mercenaries to provide vari

africa has changed. i think there. africa has changed. i think the uk will have to look at africa differently because it's not the same africa as of the past. when you look at the colonial history between the two, is that i help or hindrance in the long run? possibly to the advantage of britain is the commonwealth tradition. that is still there. from a strategic point of view, i think the uk will have to identify very clearly what africa wa nts identify very clearly what africa wants because to debate the last couple of years in africa is to move away from what the continent once and how they could partner others outside the continent. can the uk shift its position from the relationship of the past to a new kind of relationship with africa, a partnership? africa needs all the money and investment it can get, so it's never too late to partner with africa. if you stop someone on the streets of johannesburg, africa. if you stop someone on the streets ofjohannesburg, would they know that the uk is about to leave the eu? now, ithink know that

well in africa it's actually africa itself is actually a very important part of the one belt one row in the shit if and this is a key geopolitical initiative announced by chinese president xi jinping in twenty thousand and it's actually the silk road economic belt and it seeks to be a platform for international cooperation as well as to build more if a structure connecting geopolitical and global countries all together and it's very important important for africa's infrastructure as well as the construction firms and as far as it's estimated africa's infrastructure gap is around ninety five five billion dollars u.s. annually so africa actually forbes quite a key part of this and china will likely have to work on it especially when its cool looking to globalize and it seeks to work with more countries so rushing of its labor relations would likely be important as well as the other trade complaints that we've heard of so far so i want to do from both sides thank you linda. and just briefly ryanair is to start charging passengers for taking hand luggage on board from november it will co

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

in south africa in the meeting just finish in south africa last week. they have a lot of economic influence. they're trying to sell them nuclear power. they have economic deals as a lot of mining and diamond operations going on. south africa and russia are very friendly. i would not be surprised if there commercial operations going on. given what we know about the previous government of south africa. they vote will earned reputation for corruption. they are probably using it as well. africa is an expanding area for the russian military. for business communities. the traditional means of influence are the nuclear energy. and the armed sales. and the intelligence and as a result russia can then come in and say that they're doing that and ready to help mediate civil wars. that's the way it is. i think you meant to say that. there is a tie between russia pmc. i read about this one. i would also add to what they said about the armed sales. they could act as a instructor. they like of this experience. they can act how they are doing. i would just like to add

south africa belongs to all those living in south africa but still there is racism, there is rage. he talks another language. it's not an opera, it's not a piece of theatre, it's not an installation. the best description is a drawing, a historical drawing in performance. it's a mixture of projections, 50 metre by 10 metre projections. we have an orchestra of 60 musicians. we have a group of solo singers. the main military activities are these astonishing dances. and then actors that have different texts assembled by me from these different fragments. there are eight things you must remember. so to put the projections, the music, the text and the movement on stage is the task. if we have our stage... ..with three projectors. if you're in the light, the projector shows your shadow. if you're over here, you are lit by stage lights but there is no shadow. it's quite daunting. more than daunting. projecting 10 metres high and 55 metres wide is no small thing and i think sometimes we become completely mad. or maybe not only sometimes. pretty much 90% of the time! it's also incredibly exc
