July 19, 2021 S 3 Ep 1 | Melanie Mokgatla with Chernay, Colleen and Phinius on Giving and Mercy
Have you ever felt the confusion and conflict of what to do when you’re approached on the street by someone asking for money or food?
Do you give them money? Do you take them to the taxi-rank and pay for their ride? What’s the smart thing to do and how do you discern that?
On this episode, you’ll hear some friends chatting about their giving-methodology. We’ve asked them to tell us stories of when giving has gone well, and some examples of when it hasn’t. Listen in to be encouraged to give in meaningful and faith-filled ways.

July 19, 2019 S 2 Ep 11 | Grant Porthen and Richard Lundie on Land
This podcast series is all about us getting a better understanding of the lived reality of people in Cape Town and their experience of land and space. So many times, the topic of land can be spoken about at a head level, quoting facts and statistics. Other times, it is so emotive that people switch off when engaging. So we want to listen to people’s stories to help us understand the heart of the matter from people who have first hand experience of this.
Now we know that we can’t interview every person, and every story and situation is unique. We are not trying to summarize every story into a few. Nor are our storytellers trying to represent anybody else other than themselves.
