South Africa’s struggle didn’t end with apartheid—land reform, economic inequality, and historical distortions still shape the nation today. In this episode, I sit down with Dwayne Omowale to break down the history and ongoing fight for justice. We discuss the true nature of apartheid, the myths surrounding Boers and Bantus in South African history, and the debate over land expropriation—whether it’s a necessary step toward justice or a form of reverse racism. We also examine the role of global solidarity movements in ending apartheid and whether their impact has been overstated in hindsight. Additionally, we explore the overlooked legacy of Winnie Mandela, whose contributions to the liberation movement are often overshadowed by Nelson Mandela. We discuss the rise of Julius Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in the post-apartheid era, the deepening economic inequality in South Africa, and why the country’s transition to democracy has failed to bring economic justice to the majority. Finally, we take a critical look at Elon Musk’s views on South Africa’s land reform policies and how his upbringing during the apartheid era may have shaped his political and economic perspectives. This is a deep dive into history, politics, and the fight for liberation in South Africa. Don’t miss this conversation!
