Who Broke South Africa? with Darren Campher | S4E5
Description
Cape Town is one of the most unequal cities in the most unequal country on earth and it's not by accident. Someone designed it that way, and some still profit from it.
In this episode, content creator and researcher, Darren Campher joins us to ask the question every politician dodges: who actually broke South Africa and who's still breaking it?
We go there, spatial apartheid that never left, a property market built to keep people out, BEE policies that may be enriching the few instead of the many, and why "blame apartheid" might be divisive in South African politics. Then we get personal: why the MK, capitalistism, socialism, or something in between and what would it actually take to fix this country?
Agree, disagree, or furious? Good. Drop your take in the comments!
