Confidence like energy is never lost or gained but merely tranferred.

Hear my thoughts on why i think that is and how we can spread it.

June is Over. Youth Month is Over.

But the issues of the young are far from done or from being addressed.

Hear my rough thoughts on the matter.

Regards.

Here we discuss:

My guest today is Ntate Mokoena, and in this 2 part podcast we explore the notion of Patriotsm in South Africa.

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark," (Hamlet) The phrase means things are unsatisfactory; there is something wrong.

A nightmare is not something kind, and a recurring one cannot be easy to live with.

Imagine living with one for over 200 years. Imagine being systematically marginalised and living in torment for over 200 years.

These are the dual realities of race relations. The fearing and the feared share this uncomfortable world and have to face each other daily.

How do we solve this?

Hello Everyone

Thank you for taking your time to tune in and listen to Rough Thoughts That Shape. The idea started with a blog way back in 2010 where i would write about great conversations, with friends and family, that would shape my thinking and the person i choose to become. The topics would range from simple to complex and sometimes blend facts and fiction. 

My favourite line from Redman is "When EPMD dropped It's My Thing! i said damn i got to get in this rap game..."

After much hesitancy and contemplation, i decided to jump in to this podcast game.

Bien venidos y muchas gracias
