TK Pooe & Lihle Ngcobozi [The TK Show]
In this episode of “The Tk Show”, TK speaks to author and academic, Lihle Ngcobozi, about the state of governance in South Africa. They discuss the difficulty of accessing state institutions in rural communities, the administrative nightmare that prospective students face when dealing with NSFAS, the lack of good governance in the Eastern Cape, and the myth of South African exceptionalism. They also talk about Lihle’s role in the #FeesMustFall movement, the tradeoffs between activism and making a living, the shortage of young leaders in South Africa, and the growing culture of conspicuous consumption among South Africa’s youth.
