As we wrap up Human Rights Month, we look at the rights of the Rastafarian community not only in Mzansi, but through the African continent. Over the years we’ve seen how Rastafarian children have been turned away from schools due to their deadlocked hair and beliefs.

To look at how corruption can contribute to the degeneration of a country, we are joined on the line by…
