Send us a textDr Ongama Mtimka explains the importance of voting ahead of South Africa's national elections. The focus is mainly on the younger generation (1994-2006) who were born into democracy and have not been actively engaged in the previous elections. According to some young people that I've had conversations with, the reason for not participating in the elections is because they believe that the system is flawed and does not benefit young people and the previously disadvantaged citizens of the country.

Send us a textIn this episode, I am joined by Siphokazi Tau – A scholar in gender politics and one of the most phenomenal thinkers I know. Siphokazi identifies as an African Feminist. She recently published a paper on women leaders in the institutions of higher learning where she argues that the space is not particularly designed for them as it is designed on the principles of whiteness and patriarchy. Thus, this conversation is rooted on leadership and women leaders in academia. However, it goes beyond that. If the intersectionality of class, gender and race fascinates you, this episode is for you. I hope you enjoy it!Support the show
