What gives a society its identity? Community is made up of various aspects and ideologies. The more that Mo Malele opens up about some of the ideas and themes of My Country Needs Me, the more we cast a lens on some of the ideologies that inform our current and future society.

Remember, the album is available on all digital platforms.

So what is true justice? The question has been posed time and again in history, with a variety of ideas and thoughts in response. If it's not that question, it is whether or not deviant behaviour can be unlearnt. Alfred and I look at all of that while reflecting on possible positives that can come out of such difficult times.

The journey with Mo Malele continues as we go into more detail about why she indeed writes, some exclusive reflections on the music of the album, how her environment plays a role and a few views on the world as a whole.

On the backdrop of a global crisis, humanity seems to be plunging itself further underwater with an enduring social crisis.

A wordsmith. A lyricist. A storyteller. Mo Malele is breaking the mold of traditional poetry one line at a time.
