In the 7th episode of Contemplation Cafe, Sarat speaks with his brother in law, Ipeleng (Ipe) Bosilong. Ipe brings a very unique perspective hailing from South Africa but being schooled in various parts of Europe. Ipe completed his under graduate studies at James Madison University in Virginia. Ipe works at an international non-profit organization called 'Freedom House', who work on many issues across the world including Human Rights, Civil Society, Internet Freedom, Elections etc.
In this episode Sarat starts of the pod by talking bout his recent trip to his motherland, India (Podcast with Ipeleng starts 00:06:25 ). Sarat talks to Ipe about his childhood in South Africa as well as growing up as a diplomatic baby in Europe. Ipe reveals the true location of Wakanda! (it's right next to Atlantis...shhh!). The history of 'Apartheid' in South Africa along with parallels to 'Jim Crow' laws in America are discussed. Ipe talks about many issues plaguing South Africa including crime, political rife, and land allocations for various ethnic groups. Finally, Sarat and Ipe talk about Manchester United and club soccer in Europe (if you hate sports, this will put you right to sleep!).
