00:29Region, chanted by the projection at the City Council Hall, undertake to support the
00:35achievements of their leader and renew their loyalty to his reign.
00:40Prime Minister Joseph Djangute is in Apia, capital of Samoa, for the 27th meeting of
00:46Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Nations Ministerial Meetings, fora and side
00:51events on One Residence, Common Future are underway.
00:56The African film industry showcasing its prowess at the Ekanwa Festival in Yaoundé,
01:01actors, actresses and script writers exhibit their know-how, the trend of African cinema,
01:07the challenges and opportunities for growth in a minimal, renumerative sector are spotlighted
01:14on the 7.30 News tonight.
01:16Good evening, thanks for joining us, we're sorry for the late starts.
01:20Paul Bia, The Great Statesman with an Extraordinary Destiny, this is the title of the film documentary,
01:26screened today in Yaoundé, with over 20,000 residents thronging the City Hall to view
01:32the achievements of their leader.
01:35The people of the Central Region, grouped around the Regional Council President, Gilbert
01:39Jimmy Evuna, used the occasion to renew their loyalty to President Paul Bia and the institutions
01:45he incarnates.
01:46Charles Ebune watched the projection and now reports.
01:57The chorus, the last collective verbal refrain to chant their sustained loyalty to their
02:05champion Paul Bia in an all-day of praises for the New Deal architect.
02:18Thousands, the more than 20,000 souls here at the Yaoundé City Hall are part of the
02:24best of the cream of the Central Regional Elite.
02:28Government officials, lawmakers, decentralized authorities, custodians of traditions, the
02:34young and the old, and the base of the governing Cameroon's people democratic movement come
02:39to renew their commitment to the Bia administration.
02:45The projection of the film today gives us the opportunity to exalt the greatness of
02:51President Paul Bia ever since he came to power on November 6, 1982.
03:00And this is the eighth regional tour of the film Paul Bia, Great Statesman with an Extraordinary
03:07Destiny, documented by Kati Miba and Solange Edimu, authorized by the Civil Cabinet of
03:13the Presidency of the Republic with the artistic symphony of the Ministry of Arts and Culture.
03:22The quality of the film shows the importance of the subject because it is about the works
03:28of the head of state and the functioning of the institution he incarnates.
03:35The one hour, 30 minutes documentary chronicles the life and works of President Paul Bia.
03:43The good deeds list for the Central Region in all the ten divisions is simply inelastic
03:52in areas like education since it is the only region with two state universities, appointments,
03:59security, infrastructure, and health mutations.
04:13Today it was Younde, the seat of the country's institutions, to welcome the film projection
04:18caravan. The team heads this weekend to Bamenda, the second home of President Paul Bia.
04:26The documentary film which traces the life and works of the head of state, Paul Bia,
04:30was thrilling to watch for the hundreds who turned out at the Younde City Hall. The historical
04:35piece left many with a sense of belonging, rousing hopes for a better future, and maintaining
04:40confidence in the development programs in view. Marie-Claire Douw of CRTV Centre tells us more.
04:47The Younde City Council courtyard was like a beehive with persons of all walks of life
04:53coming from all nooks and crannies of the Central Region to watch the documentary of
04:59a man who has done a lot in terms of sustainable development.
05:03Mr. President, go ahead. You did so hard.
05:11But you have to continue in order to develop our country.
05:18He gave us a bridge in Yonge-Ekele. Because of that bridge, people are happy to be here.
05:27I'm very, very happy because now, you know, in our community we have the construction
05:32of the road. This is the reason that all population for a second year to watch this actuality
05:39To many, it was an honor to be part of the privileged audience.
05:44I love the story because I'm seeing many things from my chapter letter.
05:50The 84-minute documentary was also an occasion for the supporters of the CPDM in the Central
05:57Region to reaffirm their unflinching support to their national chairman, Paul Bia.
06:04And now, on the aftermath of fake news on the President on more than one occasion,
06:08wild rumor has been generated about the head of state's health while he is abroad.
06:13For what is often intended to play against the head of state, political scientists say
06:17this time around, the rumor ended up playing favorably to his political communication.
06:23Ebenezer Akanga tells us how that worked.
06:29Twenty years ago, that is, in 2004, while the head of state was on a visit abroad, a
06:35wild rumor circulated on the state of his health, with some even announcing him dead.
06:41In the recent past, the rumor has resurfaced. To political scientists, it is normal for
06:47Cameroonians to want to know where their president is.
06:51What is not normal is the fact that some people are conjecturing about his health,
06:58about the fact that he might have passed away.
07:02Curiously, in spite of all that is often said, when the head of state returns, there is much
07:08excitement and is given a hilarious welcome.
07:11There is no doubt about it. Cameroonians are so much in love with their presidents.
07:18They are so much attached to their presidents.
07:21To the political scientists, the rumor that is often generated about the health of the
07:26head of state ends up playing favorably to his political communication.
07:30It shows that the people of Cameroon who elected him were right in electing him and that they
07:40would probably elect him again if he were to stand for another presidential election.
07:48The return of the head of state last Monday not only dispelled the rumor that was circulating
07:55about his health, but above all, reassured Cameroonians that their president is still
08:01firmly in control.
08:03We now take you over to the southwest region where the population continues to heave a
08:07sigh of relief after the confirmed return of President Paul Bir back to Cameroon.
08:12There, like other Cameroonians, have been destabilized by the hoax on the demise of their
08:17leader, corroborated by some self-proclaimed prophets.
08:21The excitement children express when their father comes home after his sojourn best describes
08:31the emotions conveyed by inhabitants of the southwest region following news of the return
08:37of the President of the Republic to the country.
08:41President Bir's glorious return to Cameroon was a great test of his popularity.
08:48As shown by the people's demonstration of love, loyalty to him, the father of the nation.
08:55It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for some youth, from feelings of doubt to curiosity
09:02and then total joy for seeing the head of state heal and hearty.
09:06I was traumatized because I never knew if what was going on social media was true or
09:12false. I feel very happy that our president is alive.
09:17To the people of Limbe, President Paul Bir is a man after God's heart and will only be
09:22called when he completes his mission on earth.
09:25He came down very solid, as we saw it. The Limbe population is very happy. I would say
09:31welcome, Mr. President. Welcome, our hero.
09:35While the people of the southwest region continue to thank God for the life of the President,
09:41they have equally condemned in strong times the propagation of fake news, especially on
09:46social media.
09:48The feeling of uncertainty that loomed in the air in the face of rumor on the head of
09:53state's health was instantly dispelled when the population of the east region watched
09:57President Paul Bir's arrival on Monday.
10:00His homecoming exposed doomsayers who conjectured instability for the country.
10:06TALA-LT reports that both the young and the old in Betwa were excited about the return.
10:13To some inhabitants of Betwa, words cannot describe what they felt seeing their president
10:19at the Simaleng International Airport yesterday.
10:24I had goosebumps when I saw our president at the airport. Tears of joy rolled down my
10:29cheeks seeing him up and kicking.
10:32It gave me satisfaction, comfort and serenity as I understood he is faring well.
10:39Political figures and traditional rulers say President Bir's return has once again proven
10:45to detractors that he is the man for the job.
10:50I use this opportunity to denounce all those who are walking in the shadows to destabilize
10:55our beautiful country.
10:58We know the country is up as demonstrated by its leader, our president.
11:04Those who stick to African values say wishing death simply increases his lifespan.
11:11I'm very happy. We have a saying that the more you wish someone dead, the more he lives.
11:15President Bir, our champion, is proof of this.
11:19Cameroonians are now relieved to see their head of state and are hopeful that his arrival
11:25will accelerate the execution of ongoing projects in the country.
11:31On to one of our top stories, the Prime Minister, head of government Joseph John Gote, has arrived
11:35the island nation of Samoa for the 27th meeting of heads of government of the Commonwealth.
11:41The head of government landed in Apia today and was received by the Samoan Minister of Women.
11:46Star building correspondent Christian Chiatam on special assignments reports on the conclave
11:51which strengthens democratic institutions of the Commonwealth of Nations.
11:57The Prime Minister's flight landed in the Falelo International Airport in Apia,
12:02capital of Samoa, at 8.45 p.m. local time on Wednesday,
12:06corresponding to 8.45 in the morning Cameroon time.
12:10The Minister delegates in the Ministry of External Relations,
12:13in charge of relations with the Commonwealth, Felix Mbayu,
12:16and Cameroon's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
12:20His Excellency Albert Futabo, received the Prime Minister upon his descent from the plane.
12:26The official reception took place at the entrance to the VIP terminal of the Falelo International Airport.
12:33The welcoming officer on the Samoan side was the Minister of Women, Muliola Ancroza Alemulio.
12:40She exchanged words of welcome with the Prime Minister,
12:43saying all her country's delight over Cameroon's presence in CHOGM 2024.
12:49The official delegation of Cameroon also includes the Minister Director of Cabinet at the PM's office,
12:55Balungeli Confiance Ebune, and senior aides of the Head of Government.
13:00Prime Minister Joseph Diongute is in Samoa to represent President Paul Pia
13:05at the 26th session of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting,
13:09which takes place on the 25th and 26th of October,
13:13under the theme, Our Resilient Common Future, Transforming Our Commonwealth.
13:19Delegates from the 56 member countries of the Commonwealth are expected to take part in the deliberations.
13:26King Charles III, who arrived in Samoa Wednesday with his wife, Queen Camilla,
13:31will preside over the deliberations for the first time in his capacity as King.
13:36CHOGM 2024 is the first to be organised on a small island state
13:41and brings the challenges of small states which are members of the Commonwealth under sharp focus.
13:49Our news focus tonight is on the Crown Royal Festival
13:52and some of the key protagonists of the African film industry.
13:56Actors, actresses, producers and scriptwriters from the continent
14:00have proven their worth through talent and content.
14:03Michel Bourgui of Cote d'Ivoire, Axel Rene Abesolo, Cyndi Madé,
14:08and the late Otia Vitalis from Cameroon have been outstanding.
14:11But just how impactful have they been on African cinema?
14:15Cynthia Saptala provides answers for The 730 News.
14:19A few giant names in the African film industry on Cameroonian soil
14:23to generate buzz around movies, documentaries and competition at the Écran Noir Festival.
14:29It is Axel Abesolo. We have, I mean, Quintus.
14:34I mean, that is a face and a name that many people know
14:39and the vibe with Cyndi Madé, you know, Miss Myriam Blanche.
14:45In the industry, headliners play a crucial role in the success of a movie.
14:50Their popularity significantly impacts ticket sales and the overall attendance.
14:55In Nigeria, yes, we do, because that's an advanced movie industry.
14:58In Ghana, yes, we do. But in Cameroon, it's very teeming.
15:01The difficulty we have is that people do not get to see Cameroonian movies.
15:04And what makes a superstar is when you see them on your screen all the time.
15:07With the economic potential of the film and other visual sectors largely untapped,
15:12experts suggest intensifying marketing as a solution.
15:16For them to be fully exploited, we should be able to have a certain consistency in production.
15:22The problem is not pretty much about lacking in front of the camera.
15:27It's what is behind and between production and then consumption.
15:33It is estimated that the African film industry has a potential of 20 million jobs
15:41but currently employs 5 million.
15:43The impact of headliners in boosting the industry may be felt more, as experts put it,
15:48if the sector operates like the industry of the West.
15:53The filmmaking industry in the Western world is no doubt rewarding for stakeholders
15:58who make gains from their creations and innovation.
16:01In Cameroon, though, there is no fixed wage for persons engaged in the entertainment sector.
16:06They are paid according to the means of agents and contractors
16:09while some simply get remuneration on an informal and friendly basis.
16:13How do these talents then survive in the face of hardship?
16:17Beatrice Ngum finds out.
16:19Derogatory. This is that one word that best describes the condition of actors in the Cameroon film industry.
16:27Most venture into acting for a lofty pay package, but their dream is quickly watered down.
16:33Cinema in the country thrives by affinity.
16:36Payment of actors is really man-no-man.
16:38At times you pay, you sign contracts which you pay after the film has been sold.
16:45Our normal local productions, we really just work on friendship.
16:50In the Cameroonian context, where the film industry is still in expansion,
16:54movie actors are paid for scenes, or daily.
16:58The main role is well paid, that's depending on the budget of the production.
17:04But usually we pay actors by scenes, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 and going.
17:12Salaries which often are deemed insulting compared to the Western world or even some African countries.
17:19There is no veritable contract. Sometimes you come to play in movies for a beer.
17:26However, there are actors who shine in this jungle.
17:30I've never been badly paid, never.
17:32I think it's up to everyone to work his own image and then get more great contracts.
17:38Sidiki Bakaba is a good actor in West Africa. They pay him more than 10 million.
17:46Movies have made some actors famous, but not rich.
17:50I could not come and lie that I'm living just about what they pay me in cinema.
17:57No, I'm a teacher.
18:00With this inconsistency in payment, there is need for an actors' guild
18:04that can harmonize actors' pay package in Cameroon.
18:10Taking you down memory lane, Cameroon's theatre sector was flourishing.
18:14Between the 1960s and the 1990s, Yaoundé alone had over 10 movie theatres.
18:20As time went by, these movie halls in the country's major cities wound up,
18:24partly due to economic recession and a poor movie culture.
18:28Entrepreneurs and movie promoters, however,
18:30hold that with government incentives, tax exoneration and a vibrant movie industry,
18:36these movie halls can begin brisk business.
18:39Again, Alphonse Abongo reports on some of the revival strategies.
18:461960s to 1990s, the glorious years of cinema halls in Cameroon.
18:52Late 1980s, an economic recession swept across the country.
18:57The strength of its waves off-rooted even movie theatres.
19:01One by one, each of them shut down.
19:04Cinema Abia, existing since 1968, was the latest to die in 2009.
19:11But movie producers and directors say a rebirth is possible with the right laws in place.
19:19The state of Cameroon needs to apply the sponsorship law.
19:25It consists in giving the opportunity to investors to build cinema halls
19:29against tax exoneration, say for two to three years.
19:33Decentralization is also seen as a possible instrument for a resurrection of the sector.
19:42We can give local councils the possibility to own many cinema theatres.
19:49For instance, movie lovers in Ogobogo will not need to come watch movies in the city centre.
19:54In this way, if I produce my film for 100 million francs to make profits,
19:58I will project it in some city where Tinga bustles
20:01because these councils each have halls of 150 capacities.
20:05Professionals underscore that the production capacity is available
20:09but public support is lacking, while sponsorship is nowhere to be found.
20:17Enormous films are being produced with extreme engagement by professionals
20:22but we lack production support, distribution support, promotion and infrastructure.
20:27This timidity cannot lead to the explosion of the sector.
20:31People don't invest to lose.
20:33All these cinema halls are beckoning for the right keys to open their doors once again
20:38and make cinephiles feel better.
20:42Now on to other news.
20:43Delays in the payment of public contract accounts are the major causes
20:46for failures in enterprises in the world.
20:49To address this setback, which cripples 25% of ventures,
20:53experts drawn from around the world have come together
20:57to attend the first international conference on the issue in Yaoundé.
21:01It was presided over by the Minister-Delegate at the Presidency of the Republic
21:05in charge of public contracts, Ibrahim Talbamala.
21:08Beatrice Losamba was there and now reports.
21:12Payment delays in public contracts are estimated to have caused losses
21:16to the tune of 3,000 billion euros to small and medium-sized enterprises.
21:20The government has also said that the government has no intention
21:24It is the reason 25% of enterprises in the world wind up, according to statistics.
21:28Cameroon is among 21 countries sharing on this common problem
21:32at an international conference in Yaoundé, the first of its kind.
21:36Here in our country, Cameroon, in just three years,
21:40the government paid 20 billion CFE francs
21:44to make up for damage caused by delays in payments.
21:48Overall, 671.7 billion euros were lost.
21:53There are countries which have succeeded in avoiding delays
21:57in making payments destined for development projects.
22:01They are yet to share the fruits of timely payments
22:05in terms of accelerating development of enterprises and local councils,
22:09improving living conditions, fighting corruption in the public contract sector
22:13and, overall, improving public spending.
22:17In education, the seventh batch of students
22:21of the Advanced School of Public Management
22:25have resolved to respect the school's internal rules and regulations
22:29during their training at the institution.
22:33This was echoed during the emanculation ceremony
22:37presided over by the Secretary-General and the Minister of Public Service
22:41and Administrative Reforms, Marina Anatol.
22:46There are 150 new trainees ready to acquire fundamental skills
22:50at the Advanced School of Public Management.
22:54I came here to study the practicality of management,
22:58so most likely what I know I'm going to gain is the practical part of management,
23:02which is lacking in my administration.
23:06During the emanculation event, the Secretary-General and the Minister of Public Service
23:10and Administrative Reforms, Marina Anatol,
23:14enjoined the new candidates to respect the internal rules and regulations
23:18of the institution during their two-year training.
23:22As auditors in the SMP, we expect discipline,
23:26we expect assiduity, we expect punctuality,
23:30we expect seriousness in the training,
23:34because when they don't take these things seriously, the training will not be effective.
23:38We expect that by the time that they leave this institute,
23:42and to crown it on, a colloquium has been organized.
23:46This Thursday, graduating learners from the 3rd to the 6th batch
23:50will receive their end-of-course certificates.
23:54And now on to this good news from the Gynecological Endoscopic Surgery
23:58and Human Reproductive Teaching Hospital, CRASER.
24:02It has surpassed its target of having 500 babies delivered through in-vitro fertilization.
24:06Four new births were recorded today,
24:10including three girls and a boy from four different mothers,
24:14bringing the total number to 502.
24:18The babies were delivered this morning through caesarean sections
24:22performed by Prof. Jean-Marie Cassia.
24:26History was in the making as Prof. Jean-Marie Cassia
24:30and his team of healthcare specialists performed C-sections
24:34on four different women.
24:3949-year-old and first-time mother Mama Mireille Kandoum
24:43was simply overwhelmed as she received her bundle of joy.
24:57For 39-year-old Nadine Floor Kandoum, the delivery of her second IVF baby,
25:01a bouncing baby boy of 3.4 kilos,
25:06unfolded in the presence of her husband.
25:17A medical procedure also performed on Mama Foot, age 36,
25:21to deliver her 2.8-kilogram bouncing baby girl
25:25who came on the heels of another sweet and blooming baby girl,
25:29the 500th IVF baby at CRASER,
25:33for 42-year-old Mama Chana.
25:47And they are doing well.
25:51With a pregnancy rate of 32%, CRASER is now embarking on another phase
25:55of its historic journey through fertility treatments
26:00to leave the joy of motherhood as desired by Mrs. Chantal Bia,
26:04Cameroon's first lady.
26:14Incredible strides and milestones celebrated with prayers
26:18and the popping of five champagne bottles
26:22with Prof. Jean-Marie Cassia toasting to hope for new beginnings.
26:27And out of Cameroon, delegates from 41 African countries, including Cameroon,
26:31are brainstorming on how to attain a resilient Africa.
26:35This is in the course of the 9th Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction
26:39taking place in Windhoek, Namibia.
26:43The sitting was opened by the country's first Vice Prime Minister, Dr. John Mutowa.
26:47Patience Wing Go is on special assignment in Namibia. Here's a report.
26:52Reflections on how governments can identify urgent resource needs
26:56and finance interventions to mitigate both short- and long-term
27:00disaster impacts are central to discussions
27:04at the 9th Africa Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction.
27:08Cameroon's delegation is gaining attention for advocating
27:12the inclusion of persons living with disabilities in disaster risk reduction efforts.
27:16Every stakeholder who is part of this conference,
27:20every state member, should take into consideration with intentionality
27:24that persons with disabilities are involved
27:28in early warning system preparedness,
27:32how inclusive are their early warning systems,
27:36how accessible is it.
27:40UN officials are calling on all stakeholders to recognize disaster risk reduction
27:44as a shared responsibility.
27:48At the start of the Sendai framework, there were 9 countries that were reporting
27:52that they have multi-hazard early warning systems. Now it's 20.
27:56I would like it to be 100%.
28:00In his opening speech, Namibian Vice Prime Minister, Dr. John Mutowa, emphasized
28:04that Namibia is actively strengthening resilience by investing
28:08in infrastructure and enhancing disaster risk management capacities.
28:13In other development news, the capacity building workshop
28:17for the Lichat Basin for Civil Society Organizations has been launched
28:21in Nyande today. Organized by the United Nations Women in collaboration
28:25with the Norwegian Capacity Building Program, the colloquium aims
28:29to enhance the capacity of civil society organizations drawn
28:33from three regions of the country.
28:38Humanitarian organizations play a vital role
28:42in providing assistance to the distressed population
28:46in times of crisis, war and disaster.
28:50This workshop, therefore, seeks to strengthen the capacity members
28:54of 25 civil society organizations in three regions that host refugees.
28:58Our aim is to broaden the capacity
29:02to deliver, to make sure
29:06that vulnerable populations are really targeted.
29:10The initiative also aims to provide communities with sufficient
29:14tools and knowledge to effectively seize economic opportunities.
29:18Women are at the forefront of these initiatives, thus
29:22advocacy in favor of them.
29:26The key thing is to come out with a communication action plan on how to carry advocacy
29:30interventions in the field. So this is an opportunity to
29:34be able to exchange knowledge and to see how we can carry
29:38activities, most especially in crisis-affected regions.
29:42At the end of the 48-hour training, participants
29:46are expected to contribute in stepping up the capacity
29:50of their organizations to provide humanitarian aid.
29:54On today's advertorial, the National Sugar Refinery Company,
29:58or SUCAM, has honored its meritorious and dedicated workers
30:03in a recognition and excellent ceremony.
30:07The Minister of Labor and Social Security, Grigwa Uwona, who decorated the workers with gold, silver,
30:11and bronze distinctions, hailed their commitment to service.
30:15Suzanne Farr reports on the events attended by over 1,000 workers of the corporation.
30:19Silver, vermilion, gold,
30:23now shine on the chests of 1,060
30:27fine sugar workers of SUCAM, honored with medals awarded
30:31by the Minister of Labor and Social Security.
30:35Dear workers, you all have the right to demand
30:39the application of the new labor code.
30:43We work on this code together with some workers
30:47and in collaboration with some labor configurations
30:51who equally make proposals.
30:55It was a grand moment of excitement
30:59with the local authorities present
31:03at the sugarcane yard of the Kuteng factory.
