Dear Friends, Our guest Prof Relobohile Moletsane, shares with us her original seminar paper titled: Rethinking Legacies in the Midst of the War on Women's Bodies: A feminist 'Ghost Dance' with Mandela. This elaborate work invites us to ponder on the following questions;

Does our scholarship ask what historical and cultural events have brought us here in 2019-2021? Why are girls, women, and differently gendered bodies besieged with unprecedented levels of gender-based violence and femicide? How does the 'Ghost Dance' a Native American form of resistance, help us to regenerate our public and private spaces? Can we co-exist, live, learn, work safely and freely?   

Prof Relobohile also invokes the spirit and legacy of Rolihlahla Mandela, and what he offers to the decolonial academic endeavors we seek in South African Universities.  In this podcast, Koleka Putuma's poem EVERY/THREE HOURS  (2019)  is part of this episode. Thanking you for being the willing 'hearer'.

Best wishes,

#ACUSAFRICA
