Force for Good with Craig Wilkinson

It’s hard to know what to believe anymore. We live in what many call the ‘post-truth era.’ Some say we’ve moved beyond the information age into the age of disinformation. Fake news and conspiracy theories abound. Political correctness and cancel culture silence honest dialogue, while valid opinions are branded as hate speech. Big tech and social media giants collude with politicians to control the narrative. Algorithms feed us information we want to hear as we retreat into echo chambers that confirm our views and justify our biases.

The battle for truth is real, and it’s one we must win. Truth is absolutely essential to freedom - every dictator in history has used lies to enslave their citizens. Join Craig as he discusses the importance of seeking and speaking the truth in a society increasingly hostile to it

You have one body, one mind and one life. What are you doing with them? Join Craig as he speaks with renowned physical trainer and motivator, Steve Mululu, about how to honour yourself and those you love by being the best possible version of yourself. Be warned though, once you listen to this you will have no more excuses to be anything but your best, physically, mentally and emotionally.

There is more to the story: When Steve suffered a life-threatening brain haemorrhage early last year, doctors told him he had a 5% chance of survival. After three risky surgeries, temporarily losing his sight, and being unable to walk, he made a miraculous and full recovery. Doctors credited his incredible resilience and rapid recovery to his high level of physical fitness. Looking at him today, you'd never have an inkling he was on the edge of life and death not that long ago — a testament to the strength of his mind and determination of will to push past pain and fully rehabilitate to his optimal physical self. If this doesn't prove the life-giving power of being physically in shape, nothing will!

Very few of us arrive at adulthood emotionally whole, free, and brimming with confidence and a strong sense of identity. Instead, we often carry hidden insecurities and doubts about ourselves and who we are.

The messages we receive during our formative years from the significant people in our lives deeply impact our developing hearts and minds. Every child needs to feel seen, loved, known, and validated, and to know they are safe. Unfortunately, the messages we receive from parents, siblings, peers, and society often fail to meet this need. The voice of our parents can become our inner voice as adults, either positive and affirming or negative and demeaning. Interactions with siblings, peers, and society can also hurt and undermine our self-esteem.

In this episode, Craig invites you to embark on a journey of self-healing and transformation. Discover how to break free from the limiting beliefs that hold you back and step into the confident, whole person you were always meant to be. This podcast offers the insights and inspiration you need to begin your path to emotional freedom and self-empowerment so you can make the biggest impact on the world around you!

Forgiveness is not forgetting. It is not justifying wrong or minimising bad. Forgiveness is definitely not weakness. It is taking back your power and becoming a much bigger, more dangerous person. Forgiveness takes courage and strength. It liberates by breaking the hold the past has on us.

In this podcast you will learn what true love really is And what it is not. You will learn about the healing power of love. And you will learn to recognise when self-interest masquerades as love. Knowing how to love will transform your life, relationships and the world around you. You cannot afford to miss this one!

Malaak is a danger to poverty, poor education and social injustice. A resident of New York and an American by birth, Malaak considers South Africa her motherland and has travelled here 44 times since her first visit in the early nineties. Having been married to famous actor and comedian Chris Rock, she has intimate experience of the life of the rich and famous and has been instrumental in inspiring celebrities and those with means to get involved in social upliftment programmes.

Malaak is a passionate proponent of education as the most powerful antidote to poverty and she founded the Angelrock Project Foundation in 2008 to provide youth in underserviced communities in the USA and South Africa with the opportunity and inspiration to further their education. The foundation also provides support and programmes to vulnerable communities suffering the impact of HIV orphaned children, gender-based violence and food insecurity. The title of her book “If It Takes A Village, Build One”, beautifully sums up her belief that we all have a responsibility to roll up our sleeves and get involved in making the world a better place.

Be inspired by this moving conversation to play your role in modelling the way for the next generation to build a safe and prosperous future for us all.

The dangers to society come in many different forms and change from one generation to the next but the strength and character needed to fight against them remain the same. History has thrown war, slavery, corruption, injustice, poverty and countless other malignant forces against humanity but it has never failed to produce brave men and women to stand against them.

Seth Mazibuko is such a person. He was the youngest member of the group of students that led the 1976 Soweto uprising and held prisoner for 7 years on Robben Island. He sacrificed freedom and safety in the fight against apartheid and he continues to fight today against corruption and oppression of a different sort, heading up the Moral Regeneration Movement.

Join Craig and Seth in this profound conversation about courage, sacrifice and the fight for true freedom. Learn how to be an activist for love and truth and a danger to corruption and oppression in all its forms. Be inspired to be the change you want to see in the world.

Fathers, you are the most important men in your children’s lives. Your role is irreplaceable. How you pitch up as a man and as a father will have a life-long of impact on your children. But in South Africa over 60% are growing up without a present father. Research has shown a clear and undeniable link between absent fathers and major social issues such as gender-based violence, low education outcomes, mental illness, teenage pregnancy, drug abuse and crime. How do we end the epidemic of fatherlessness and heal our nation’s gaping father wound?

There are many things that rail against us as men being good and present fathers; economics, our own personal wounds, circumstances and sometimes even the mothers of our children. Join Craig Wilkinson as he speaks to TT Mbha, leader and founder of Amatyma network and host of upcoming SABC 2 show “Like Tyma, Like Ntwana”, to learn the keys of being an excellent and engaged father, and how we can stand together as men and women and heal this nation by being dangerous to fatherlessness.
