Welcome back to another episode of Sango! Today we are discussing hair and how political it has become, wigs and their effects on our identity and the othering of those that do not subscribe to the "baddie aesthetic".Soundtrack - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMAWAfedh/Original song by Tabu Ley - https://open.spotify.com/track/4VcUuRN7ed53EKgiELY9CH?si=3491968ecc9e42d1Lerato Nxumalo on Instagram for reference on wedding picture

Todays episode features four of my friends to discuss GBV & femicide.

In this episode of Sango, we unpack the “pick me boy” and “nice guy” tropes—using Nathan from Insecure as an example. We look at how fake niceness can mask entitlement, and how that mindset sometimes leads into darker online spaces like incel forums. It’s a real talk about rejection, masculinity, and why this matters more than we think.

In this episode, we’ll unpack the tensions between the DRC and Rwanda, the re-emergence of the M23 rebel group, the role of foreign powers like France, and the deeper governance crisis within the DRC itself.

In this heartfelt episode of Sango, we ask: what happens when girls rise… and boys are left behind? We open with a playful but powerful “Is it Misogyny?” game rooted in African realities, then dive into the quiet crisis of boys dropping out of school while women break barriers. This isn’t about blame — it’s about truth. We explore how patriarchy harms everyone, and why real liberation must include boys too. From classrooms to culture, we ask: how do we build a future where no one gets left behind? Gentle, honest, and deeply necessary — this one’s for all of us.

In this episode of Sango, we delve into how France rebuilt itself on the backs of African nations—long after colonialism was formally ended. From stolen resources to the CFA franc, we examine how France continues to exert control over African economies today, keeping independence out of reach and profits flowing back to Europe.

Todays episode is on an #FEESMUSTFALL , this was an important time in the lives of me and other students in South Africa, me and Kabelo take time to share our experiences as well as analyse the legacy of the movement.

Throughout history, various African societies have been matriarchal or matrilineal. This means inheritance, leadership, and social structures were centered around women. But unlike the rigid and hierarchical nature of patriarchy, these societies functioned on cooperation, shared responsibility, and protection of the entire community. Let's get into!

In this episode, we discuss the Trump administration discontinuing USAID and the implications this has on Africa, we discuss sustainability and aid as soft colonialism.
