The NDL Show

On this episode we get into the lived experiences of having survived a toxic marriage with my beloved brother Thato Lehutso. Thato speaks openly and honestly about how being on the receiving end of toxicity impacted his relationship with himself and his spirituality. He walks us through how this reality affected his psyche as a man and how he has learnt to navigate romantic relationships after a long period of psychological abuse and trauma.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode touches on sexual abuse but does not go into depth regarding it.

On this episode we are joined by Advocacy Manager from the Women and Men Against Child Abuse organisation, Ngaa Murombedzi, to speak on the failures of sex education at large. This comes after a series of statistics (including teen pregnancy, HIV infection rates etc.) point to the lack of translation of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) content, since its introduction in 2000. Ngaa walks us through subsequent implications as we further discuss how we relate to sex as well as the idea of consent and boundaries in our young adult lives.

On our last episode for 2021, we explore the politics of being "uncensored and raw" creators and the subsequent effects this has on audiences when not done responsibly with journalist and feminist Gaopalelwe Phalaetsile. Gao talks us through the misconceptions of free speech and how creators (podcasters, youtubers and more) on unregulated platforms have hierachised the idea of being "real" as an excuse to be problematic, further enabling harmful perspectives.
