New 3: FOREIGN POLICY

admin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:48:56 +0000

In 1993, Nelson Mandela wrote that Human Rights would guide South Africa’s foreign affairs. But today, we have a much more pragmatic approach. We sell arms to most willing buyers and hesitate to criticise countries with whom we trade. Is our foreign policy immoral?

New 2: TRANSFORMATION

admin — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:32:49 +0000

Is BEE creating a class of parasites, living off our economy at the expense of workers and real entrepreneurs? Do South Africans resort to playing the race card when we have run out of other arguments? Will we become the next Zimbabwe if we fail to address transformation more rapidly?

Episode 4 SEX & CULTURE

admin — Fri, 22 May 2009 09:33:16 +0000

This month we discuss sex, sexuality and respect. Violence against women has become commonplace; what role can culture and tradition play in rebuilding respect between the sexes? Or are our patriarchal traditions part of the problem? We bring together traditional chiefs, gender activists, politicans and academics to discuss such customary practices as initiation and polygamy, as well as attitudes towards homosexuality. We meet a lesbian sangoma, who says that homosexuality is not un-African. We also meet Bonani Yamani, a student who is suing his father and traditional leaders for taking him by force to a traditional circumcision school.
