Dr Nechama Brodie is a guest on this episode of the podcast with Nongcebo Vukile McKenzie, talking about her latest book 'Domestic Terror: Intimate partner violence in South Africa'.
'Domestic Terror is a powerful book that sheds light on the plight of women who face domestic violence and the harsh realities they encounter when trying to protect themselves. In South Africa, intimate partner violence is the leading cause of
female homicide and often, the warning signs are ignored. The book delves into the stories of women who took matters into their own hands, refusing to wait until they were attacked to defend themselves. Despite being driven to extreme measures, these women are met with a lack of empathy and understanding from the very institutions that are supposed to protect them. Through poignant case studies, the author exposes the limitations of our systems and challenges us to rethink our approach to domestic violence.' SOURCE: Exclusive Books

During this time she has dodged the secret police in Burma, explored tunnels underneath Johannesburg, gotten dusty at rock festivals, and reported on the myth of ‘white genocide’ in South Africa.

The guest on this episode of The Podcast with Nongcebo Vukile McKenzie is Moshitadi Lehlomela. She is the author of The Girl Who Survived Her Mother: Navigating and Healing the Mother Wound.
"There is a lot of talk in society about bad fathers. Fathers being neglectful or abusive or abandoning their families. Much less is spoken about mothers. There is a shroud of secrecy around mothers' parental failures and targeted abuse of their children. It is taboo to question a mother's love. Nonetheless, the mother wound has become a buzz phrase amongst millennials grappling with what to say on Mothers' Day on social media or how not to feel jealous of the nurture others enjoy from their mothers.
Moshitadi is a mother wound recovery coach. In The Girl Who Survived Her Mother, she details the years of her torturous relationship with her mother, maps the intergenerational nature of the trauma in her family, and reveals how she was finally able to begin her journey of healing. Today she helps clients around the world face their most shameful question -- how do I love myself when the person who carried me and gave birth to me cannot?" Source: NB Publishers

On this episode of The Podcast Nongcebo Vukile McKenzie is in conversation with Ndumi Hadebe.
"Ndumi is a published author of Handle Black Tax Like a Pro – Setting Boundaries,
Improving Relationships and Achieving Freedom, a book about how to strike a healthy balance of helping family or relatives while allowing space for personal financial goals - through the practice of healthy boundaries.
The more Time-Money-Energy she invested working on this book, the more she realised that boundaries are the basis of self-preservation and self-love; and concluded that it’s impossible to lead yourself in the direction of your vision or goals without a clear assertion of boundaries in the various areas of life. It finally clicked…
- Peace is impossible without boundaries,
- Productivity is impossible without boundaries,
- Potential cannot be realised without healthy boundaries,
And most importantly, authenticity and meaningful contribution to society cannot be achieved without boundaries.
She has more than a decade of corporate experience and another as an entrepreneur – consulting in as a capacity development expert for world renowned brands such Deloitte, Ernst &Young, Nordex SA, Sasfin Bank, University of Johannesburg and Bureau Veritas Zambia. Her business endeavours are supported by a BCom in Marketing and an NLP Certificate for Coaches and a deliberate ongoing lifestyle of learning."

On this episode of The Podcast Nongcebo Vukile McKenziesits down with Dr Sipho Sithole; the author ofMaye! Maye! The History & Heritage of the Kwa Mai Mai Market.
"Kwa Mai Mai is the embodiment of everything Johannesburg is meant to be – the City of Gold, a place where dreams deferred come true. It is a constellation of people’s cultures, imbued with beautiful memories of life in villages left behind but cherished by those who refuse to forget.
The book explores how the keepers of cultural memory can use it not only to survive but to invoke the entrepreneurial and creative spirit buried deep within their souls. Moreover, it builds on the assumption that if cultural memory can be stored and retrieved through artefacts, sites, ceremonies, myths and rituals, then Kwa Mai Mai is the place where these elements converge in inspiring displays of craftsmanship, worship and healing.
Yet, Kwa Mai Mai has a darker side. It is a place of painful memories and ignored pleas – where its members are in a constant battle to be acknowledged by the city that created it.
This book reveals how the subversive, socio-economic order that epitomised Kwa Mai Mai turned class theory upside down. In an interesting reversal of roles, the Kwa Mai Mai community, who used to be a migrant working class, wrested the power and control over the means of production from the dominant class. Through their heightened cultural consciousness, this marginalised migrant community has reimagined new economic realities and possibilities, forever distancing themselves from the painful, repressive past."

On this episode of The Podcast Nongcebo Vukile McKenzie is in conversation with Professor Evangeline Bonisiwe Zungu; a respected author and academic. Her recent book is entitled 'Zulu Names, Polygyny and Gender Politics in Traditional Societies'.
"This book provides illuminating insight into Zulu polygynous families. It examines how Zulu anthroponyms used in respect of the living-dead reflect social behaviour patterns within homesteads. Names become social outlets for sentiments of hostility and ill-feelings caused by quarrels between co-wives and in-laws. Zungu considers the challenge of plural marriages and the use of witchcraft to fight for the husband's love and affection. Names are also used to reflect and ward off evil spirits, which may cause illness and death. Despite the influence of globalisation and modernity, anthroponyms reflect mystical arts and occultism (whether real or imagined) in traditional societies, and they are effective oral strategies between family members and/or community members."

"Raised during the Rhodesian bush war in the 1970s and then immigrating to South Africa at the age of 11, Terry is shaped by a white culture that is racist, unstable, privileged and deeply divided. Her childhood appears idyllic but it is tragically bizarre as the adults around her insist on living their version of normality while the world falls apart.
The first time Terry Angelos has sex with a black man, she's paid £300, working as a 19 year-old call girl in London. Back home it's 1989 and South Africa is being torn apart by political unrest. It's a year before Nelson Mandela is released and 5 years before the country's first democratic election.
White Trash is a remarkable memoir told in vivid detail, laced with dark humour and savage honesty as the narrator unravels what it means to be a white African and what draws her into the brutal world of teenage sex work. But ultimately it's a story about finding a shard of light in the darkness, in a heroic quest to reinvent the self."

"Thirty-nine-year-old Thando is living in total denial about her drinking. On the surface her life looks aspirational – great job, apartment, snazzy car. But behind the façade she harbours a dark and shameful secret – she can’t control her drinking. To the outside world she looks like a woman who loves having fun, always with a glass of wine in her hand. But alone at home, she’s knocking back a bottle or two a night under the guise of ‘unwinding’. It’s not until she takes a year long break from booze, that she's forced to confront her crippling anxiety and depression, which now have taken a toll on her high-powered career. She returns to drinking thinking that she can moderate until life takes a cruel twist and she’s diagnosed with breast cancer. For the next two years she chronicles her addiction as she spirals out of control before calling it quits just before lockdown in March 2020. The road to recovery is brutal as she appears to be the only one sober in the midst of a pandemic." NB Publishers

He shares with Nongcebo Vukile McKenzie his experience of growing up with a mother who has schizophrenia, which is the subject of his book 'A Childhood Made Up - Living With My Mother's Madness'.
"My mother's life was a constant battle with a tragic, debilitating mental condition, hardly understood in South Africa in the 1970s, even less so when she was first hospitalised in the 1950s in Valkenberg. She tried to have a normal life and, against her doctors' advice, proceeded to marry and have children, me being the youngest.
There are possibly over 250,000 people with schizophrenia in South Africa. The number of family members affected is a great multiple of these. Yet stigma and silence pervade.
A handful of people suffering from schizophrenia have penned their own stories, even fewer tell the story of growing up with a schizophrenic parent because of the difficulty of coming to terms with what is a very confusing experience for a child.
I was also motivated by my deep irritation with how schizophrenia is more often than not grossly misrepresented in books and films, even highly acclaimed ones. Having had long discussions with my mother in her later life, I was able to draw on this intimate account of her psychotic experiences. I also had her letters and diaries and her paintings. She was a talented artist.
Faced by such a daunting task, I first wrote A Childhood Made Up as a novel, referring to myself in the third person. It was an extremely fast-paced, almost manic book and darkly comic; someone compared its style to Kurt Vonnegut. I'm rather fond of it. Having completed the novel version, I was ready to confront my past more directly.
The role of a writer in society is to articulate things we have all felt and done but which we have not articulated yet for ourselves or would prefer not to own up to in public.
I learnt a great deal writing this book and I wish such a memoir had been available to me when I was growing up struggling to understand my mother and what was happening to our family.
We are all a little bit mad and there is much reason and truth in madness too. As psychoanalyst Christopher Bollas puts it: schizophrenia can be seen "as an understandable way of responding to our precariousness in a highly unpredictable world".
I hope this book does much more than entertain, move and sometimes amuse readers, but is a testament to a brave and talented and often misunderstood woman, my mother."

This episode of the podcast is a conversation with Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu, legendary musicians and lifelong friends.
"Johnny Clegg, (born June 7, 1953, Bacup, near Rochdale, England—died July 16, 2019, Johannesburg, South Africa), South African musician, popularly called the “White Zulu,” whose innovative, ethnically integrated musical collaborations in the late 20th century constituted a powerful statement against apartheid, the enforced separation of Black and white peoples and traditions in South Africa.
Clegg subsequently developed a friendship with Sipho Mchunu, a Zulu migrant worker and street musician in Johannesburg. From Mchunu, Clegg learned the Zulu language and traditional music, as well as the vibrant dance styles that later became a regular feature of his performances. Clegg and Mchunu performed as a duo for a few years before they assembled a band called Juluka (Zulu: “Sweat”). In 1979 Juluka released Universal Men, an album that spoke to the divided lives of the migrant workers who reside and work in the city, separated from their families and homes. Stylistically, the album was a fusion of Zulu music and various European traditions. Later albums were similarly blended. Ubuhle Bemvelo (1982), the group’s third album, was performed entirely in Zulu.
During the early 1980s Juluka gained not only a strong local audience but also an enthusiastic international following, particularly in France, where Clegg fondly was labeled “Le Zoulou Blanc” (“The White Zulu”). Juluka’s success was an especially significant achievement during the apartheid era, when music that was performed by mixed (Black and white) bands or that blended Black and white styles was barred from South African radio. Juluka’s music, then, circulated primarily through live performances, which, particularly in South Africa, often led to encounters with the police. The group’s appeal indeed lay as much in its innovative and engaging music as in the political statement—both explicit and implicit—it made against apartheid, a system that was increasingly condemned by the international community."
