Most people at least once throughout their lifetime will need to approach a lawyer for some reason, ranging from personal actions to defense.

In the current political climate, there is a topic which brings about much debate and strain from all sectors of South African society. Apartheid is an era of our history that will certainly never be forgotten and yet, have we stopped to ask ourselves the question: How much do we really know about HOW and WHY Apartheid began? In today's episode, we are taking you all the way back to the beginning of the founding of our country, and how the system of Apartheid was born.

In this episode, we explore the seldom told history of how Indian people came to be in South Africa, and the politics of how we came to stay. As always, happy listening! :)
