ANNOUNCEMENT: EPISODE 8 OF LEARNING AND UNLEARNING IS NOW STREAMING!

TOPIC: Femicide: a Persistent Plague in South Africa

Nearly 50% of all women who were murdered in South Africa were killed by their intimate partners. If you think about it in reverse, if husbands and boyfriends did not kill their female spouses, half of those who died by homicide may have been alive today to listen to this episode.

There is clearly a war on women and their bodies in South Africa- but what is behind it? Does the criminal justice system aid in the perpetuation of femicide, or does it aid the fight against it? Join the hosts of Learning and Unlearning, as well as Women for Change Activist, Bulelwa Adonis, as they hope to unpack the concept and ex*****on of Femicide, and try to ideate potential solutions for it.

NEW EPISODE OF LEARNING AND UNLEARNING IS LIVE!

TOPIC: SOUTH AFRICA: THE R**E STATE

R**e is commonplace in South Africa. It’s been reported that over 40% of women in South Africa are and will have reported to have been r**ed at least once in their lifetime. The crisis is so persistent that r**e cases no longer make the news cycle alone, it takes celebrities or powerful people being r**ed for this social ill to get airtime. Yet, so many women fall victim to this heinous act.

In this episode, we are joined by Women for Change Activist, Bulelwa Adonis, as she helps us understand r**e at 3 levels:
At a conceptual level, at a personal level and at a societal level.

TOPIC: Is Masculinity Innit? The experience of young, urban black men in the U.K.

ANNOUNCEMENT: EPISODE 6 (FINAL EPISODE) OF UNICORN S2 IS NOW AVAILABLE!

9 out of every 10 start-ups fail globally. With a statistic like that, it is almost impossible to build a career as a first-time founder. This strengthens the idea of 2nd-time founding being a near-mandatory part of any tech founder’s journey.

In the final episode of Season 2, Bubu Buna, Kopano Meremere and Thulani Masebenza shed light on the definition of a 2nd-time founder, while reflecting on their own journey and whether or not they consider themselves 2nd-time founders.

ANNOUNCEMENT: A NEW EPISODE OF LEARNING AND UNLEARNING IS LIVE!

TOPIC: When Do We Deserve Love?

Men have, for a very long time, been perpetuated as invulnerable people who do not delve into the realm of emotion much. We have witnessed the negative effects it has on men, particularly with their relationships with women.
Living in modern times, men have had to deal with their insecurities in order to better navigate relationships, which has now led to a different set of expectations, boundaries and treatment towards men - both positive and negative.

In this episode, our hosts, along with guest, Khanyisile Madonko, consider and explore how men show up in their romantic relationships with women or at least how they perceive, approach and navigate them.

TOPIC: An African Dilemma: Does Living Abroad Make Your Start-up More Attractive?

A dilemma that is common among a lot of African Tech Founders is the idea that living abroad makes one a much more attractive prospect than those that don't. Is that the case, and if so, why?

In this episode, Bubu, Kopano Mere and Thulani Masebenza explore how having an 'International Stint' could make you an alluring bet for investment and how that affects the African Technology Ecosystem.

ANNOUNCEMENT: A NEW EPISODE OF LEARNING AND UNLEARNING IS STREAMING!

TOPIC: The Physicality of Manhood

We have been indoctrinated with the belief that masculinity is something to be embodied, a state of being that requires a certain level of physicality and can only be achieved by those with the physical prowess to meet this standard. This we see, is often one of the causes of violence wrought by men on other members of society - women in particular.

In this episode, our hosts discuss this perceived embodiment of masculinity, bringing to light a spectrum of ways in which these can contribute to the toxic traits that women especially, fall victim to as a result.
