This episode of Trending Times deals with religion and fashion. We talk about church uniforms in African churches, the dress requirements for people belonging to the Islamic faith. We debate whether fashion at some religious gatherings becomes superficial, distracting from the original purpose. We are joined in the studio to discuss these issues by Ashraf Jones, a UCKAR graduate, who grew up in a household with a Catholic mother and an Islamic father and Iviwe Mzandisi, a UCKAR student and member of the LGBTQIA++ community.

Our first show sets out the debates that surround school uniforms at our local secondary schools. We talk to teachers, parents and learners from our local schools to find out what they think about uniforms.
