NARRATIEF MET BOUWER BOSCH

In this episode, I sit down with Romantha Botha, who describes herself as a Digital Cultural Archivist and explains exactly what that means. From her early work as a trained journalist exploring identity, culture and heritage, to producing documentary series such as Jou Ma se Taal and Sex and Pleasure, delivering a TEDx Talk and participating in public debates, Romantha has made a career out of challenging inherited ideas and uncomfortable conversations.

She shares more about two exciting new shows in the making, Dinner with Mzansi and Dinner with AfriKarens, both aimed at encouraging community reflection. Check out her platforms to see how you can view, support or get involved!

We explore what it takes to have meaningful conversations about building a better South Africa, how curiosity can help us move beyond shame, and why we need to lean into uncomfortable discussions rather than avoid them.

Romantha also reflects on her experience of creating a separate cultural identity to survive in the workplace, unpacks the subtle, inherited discomforts that continue to fuel bias and racism, and talks about her heated exchange with the artist who painted Krotoa.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to and learning from someone who makes it her job to go down the rabbit holes the rest of us sometimes avoid.

As always - thank you to our main sponsor Roman's Pizza! Enjoy this episode on Narratief met Bouwer Bosch on Spotify and Apple Music and on my Bouwer Bosch YouTube channel!

What a privilege to have the legendary MAJOZI on the show for a second time!In this conversation, we reminisce about our own glory days as young musicians and geek out over the rock bands of our era.

Majozi shares what still brings him joy in his career after more than 13 years in the industry as a local and international musician and performer.We talk about new-age stuff like TikTok and AI, and what it takes to keep up with the times while staying true to yourself, your craft and your fans.

Besides the fact that Majozi’s name will go down in music history as one of South Africa’s greats, he is also one of the nicest humans you’ll ever meet - and a conversation with him brings nothing but joy and good vibes.

Thanks for taking me back in time, Majozi. We can’t wait to hear and experience what you bring to our ears and hearts next!

I sit down with one of our country’s most fascinating storytellers, versed in the deeper linguistic and cultural history traditions of Azania and !Naremâb (Southern Africa), for a conversation that will blow your mind.As a musician and comedian, Pule shares some incredibly interesting insights into an approach to comedy, rap, and movement.

As a panlingual lyricist, performer, scholar of linguistics, and cultural technologist, Pule opens up a whole world of indigenous interconnections that many of us have probably never even heard of before. This conversation genuinely inspired me to learn more about my own roots, and about the history of South Africa and its people.Pule explains how being born into a community with a deep awareness of history, heritage, and language, was a foundation that developed into a lifelong passion and way of seeing the world.

After travelling through 21 countries across the African continent, extraordinary experiences and discoveries are shared, uncovering some of the hidden histories and connections between different cultures and communities.We also talk about Pule's involvement in the Cradle Crew Hip-Hop mentorship initiative, and with the new band, Church of the Rolling Tongue, currently hitting stages and releasing new music.

This is one of those conversations that reminds you just how much history is hiding in the words we speak every day - and how much more there still is to discover about who we are and where we come from.

Ek het die raar voorreg om met die gewilde komediant en inhoudskepper, Aletta Francina de Kock te gesels. Sy laat ons in op haar pad van trane na selfvertroue tot waar sy vandag staan as een van Suid-Afrika se heel beste komediante. Ons gesels oor hoe sy haar ander talente as kleremaker, kunstenaar en inhoudskepper uitleef teen die hoë standaarde wat sy vir haarself stel. Sy maak dan so bietjie hart oop oor haar ervaringe as destydse jeugwerker in die kerk en hoe dit haar lewensuitkyk en geloof bëinvloed het.

Soos al haar aanhangers, bewonder ek Aletta vir haar kunstigheid en briljante sin van humor, so ek het elke minuut van hierdie gesprek geniet en weet julle sal ook!Dankie Biggi Popcorn dat julle my kakebeen soepel hou vir die lekker chats met die lekkerste popcorn ooit!

Karen maak haar hart oop oor die struikelblokke wat sy die afgelope paar jaar moes oorkom en wat ook as inspirasie vir haar gewilde kerkorrel-vertoning, Zoid Psalms, gedien het.

Ons gesels oor besigheid, kuns en toekomsdrome, en lag oor alles van Ben se eerste woorde tot sy ingebore joernalistieke instinkte. In classic Karen-styl, vang sy my met ’n vraag oor my dogtertjie wat my diep tref en ons groet met nat oë en vol harte.

I got to sit down with the stand-up comedian, PANCH GASELA - a.k.a. the next big thing to hit SA comedy! We laugh our way through touchy politics and race subjects and talk about some of the incredible career highlights Panch has already achieved at such a young age. He opens up about his health journey and appreciating the small things in life.Panch is a prominent South African comedian and actor who has toured the world performing. He is part of Trevor Noah's "BaFunny BaFunny" South African comedy tour and has credits in films and TV series such as What About the Boys and Soon Comes the Night.I'd love to have Panch back for a chat one day because we didn't have enough time to talk about all of his talent and successes and because his positive energy is just so contagious!

Ek gesels met die uber-populêre musiek duo - RAAF! Hulle toer die land plat en speel letterlik tafels en verhoë aan die brand en ek hoor waar dit alles begin het. Esté en Lourens deel oor hulle die liefde en 'n besige lewe op toer balanseer. Ons gesels oor die impak van AI (kunsmatige intelligensie) op musiek en musikante en dan raak ons diep en persoonlik oor geloof en Christenskap. Lourens en Esté se talente en lewenspassie is inspirasie op 'n ander vlak en hierdie gesprek my sommer weer laat lus voel vir die lewe, kuns en alles wat kan wees!

In our honest and fun conversation about fatherhood, we open up about things we don't usually share or show as dads - like the things our kids teach us, what we need to unlearn and what we learned from our own fathers. Watch until the end to see our own kids give us a special surprise!

With entertainers, comedians, producers and actors - Solomon Cupido, Neels Clasen and Themba Robin.
