Ein Kommentar von Paul Clemente.Dass die deutsche Hauptstadt nicht im Sommerloch versinkt, verdankt sie dem frischgebackenen Intendanten der Berliner Volksbühne: Matthias Lilienthal. Als Ex-Dramaturg von Frank Castorf weiß er, wie man die Werbetrommel strapaziert: Vor zwölf Jahren übertrug man ihm die Intendanz der Münchener Kammerspiele. Startschuss: Im September 2015. Zeitlich parallel zur Grenzöffnung durch die damalige Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel. Dem folgte eine mediale Schlammschlacht.Auch Lilienthal beteiligte sich, lud zu einem „Open Border“-Kongress. Besonders brisant: Die „Internationale Schlepper- und Schleusertagung (ISS)“. Gefragt wurde, wie man Schleusen demokratisieren könne. Ein Journalist pries in seinem Vortrag das soziale Netzwerk Facebook. Mit ihm kam nämlich die Preistransparenz. Mit seiner Hilfe könnten Flüchtlinge die Angebote der Schlepper vergleichen und das Preiswerteste aussuchen. - Diese satirische Kunst-Tagung stieß bei der CSU auf wenig Gegenliebe. Dennoch: Sie erzielte Aufmerksamkeit. Die Kammerspiele waren plötzlich im Gespräch.Lilienthal vertritt ein postdramatisches Theater. Gemeint sind Inszenierungen, die keine Vorlagen bebildern, keine Dramentexte als Grundlage nutzen. Stattdessen: Performances, Film und Interaktion. Assoziative Verknüpfung ersetzt traditionelle Handlung. Diese Form führt Lilienthal in der Volksbühne fort. Einem ehemaligen Arbeiter-Theater, belastet mit dem Erbe einer 25-jährigen Castorf-Intendanz. Dieses Haus will Lilienthal neu erfinden. Zum Auftakt: Ein Projekt, das Berlins marode Infrastruktur aufgreift. Um die Schließung zahlreicher Schwimmbäder zu kompensieren, wurde vor der Volksbühne ein „Volksbad“ errichtet. Ein riesiger Pop-up-Swimming Pool mit freiem Eintritt. Und nebenan, im Volksbühnen-Pavillion, gastiert eine Frittenbude.Wie viel der Badespaß kostet? Schlappe 300 000 Euro. Aber keine Sorge: Die Summe wird durch den Haus-Etat gedeckt. Schließlich ist der Pool zum Kunstwerk und die Besucher zu Akteuren einer interaktiven Performance erklärt.Die Ernüchterung kam schnell. Schon drei Tage nach der Eröffnung musste das 25 m lange Pop-Up-Planschbecken schließen. Grund: Die Duschen funktionierten nicht. Baupfusch made in Germany. Man erinnere sich an den Berliner Flughafen oder an die Elbphilharmonie. Nichts Ungewöhnliches also. Am vergangenen Freitag sollte das „Volksbad“ wieder öffnen. Doch dazu kam es nicht.Das Angebot des „Volksbads“ beschränkt sich nicht auf privaten Besuch. Auch Vereine dürfen den Pool für einige Stunden buchen. Für Freitag, den 14. August hatte „Each One Teach One“ das künstlerisch wertvolle Planschbecken gebucht. Dieser Verein, kurz: EOTO, unterstützt Integration und „Empowerment“ (Selbstbefähigung) schwarzer Kinder. Am Dienstag informierte die Volksbühne auf ihrer Webseite: Zwischen 12 bis 18 Uhr sei der Pop-Up-Pool vom EOTO-Verein gebucht. Im Anschluss stehe er wieder allen offen. Für Aufruhr sorgte eine zusätzliche Erklärung:Es dürfte diese „Exklusivität“ gewesen sein, die für Ärger sorgte. Noch am gleichen Nachmittag folgte eine Korrektur. Jetzt hieß es: Das Volksbad sei „für Each One Teach One (EOTO) e.V. reserviert.“ Eine Anpassung an den Sprachgebrauch klassischer Vereinsreservierung. Natürlich zu spät.Medien wie Nius nahmen das Konzept unter Beschuss. Die Mainstream-Nachrichten folgten bei Fuß. Schon tobte eine verbale Schlammschlacht. Auch Politiker mischten sich ein: AfD-Chefin Alice Weidel sprach von „Apartheid". Die Berliner Bezirksverordnete Aileen Weibeler, Mitglied der CDU, überkam ein Gefühl von Diskriminierung. O-Ton:„In diesem Zeitraum ist das VOLKSBAD exklusiv für Schwarze Communities geöffnet.“„Ich darf nicht ins Schwimmbad, weil ich weiß bin“....https://apolut.net/volksbuhnen-desaster-integration-durch-apartheit-von-paul-clemente/“Hier apolut unterstützen: https://apolut.net/unterstuetzen/”

Afghánistán žije už pět let pod vládou hnutí Tálibán. Jeho návrat se v srpnu roku 2021 odehrál prakticky bez odporu, poté co americké a další západní síly vyklidily po 20 letech války pole. Země se v podstatě přes noc proměnila. Opatření autoritářské vlády Tálibánu dopadají tvrdě především na afghánské ženy a dívky, které byly prakticky vymazány z veřejného života.

Trigger warning: This episode references child marriage, maternal death, and suicide.August 15th marks the fifth anniversary of the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan. Gender-based discrimination is a tenet of the Taliban's policies, which is being enforced and institutionalized across the country. We hear from Metra Mehran, a self-described person exiled from Afghanistan during the Taliban takeover in 2021, and who now focuses on advocacy work related to gender apartheid with Amnesty International, about how this gender apartheid has unraveled. In Afghanistan, there is a systematic level of discrimination that impacts every single facet of life for women and girls. Women cannot work, go to school beyond primary school, or have freedom of movement. The enforcement and institutionalization of this gender discrimination funnels into the crime of the grand-scale gender apartheid being perpetrated in Afghanistan. Child marriage has peaked in the past five years, interrupting a girl's inability to finish their education. Women and girls face higher rates of domestic violence, reproductive violence, and suicide. And while underground schooling does exist, girls seek education at extreme risk to themselves and their families.Advocates are pushing to use the International Criminal Court to use the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Violence (CEDAW) and take Afghanistan to international Criminal Court. Conversations to include gender apartheid in treaty negotiations are also a testament to the strength and power of the women of Afghanistan.Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Send us Fan MailBryce Greene, organizer, student, and writer based in Bloomington, Indiana, joins the show to discuss hasbara. Most Americans have never heard of hasbara"the Israeli governments official global propaganda and influence program"yet they are targeted by it every day. At $730 million, the 2026 budget is more than 11 times what it was in 2023. Hasbara fuses traditional PR with AI-driven digital psy-ops, coordinated social-media manipulation using chatbots"including a $145 million foreign-ministry campaign to influence AI tools like ChatGPT"paid grassroots influencers, and church-targeted initiatives that push Israeli-aligned narratives on congregants cell phones without disclosure. These tactics brainwash the public, suppress free speech, silence dissent, drive hatred of Palestinians, and manufacture the illusion of public consent for pro-Israeli policies. For many, the truth will be shocking"and that shock is overdue. Bryce is a panelist on the voicesfromtheholyland.org film salon on Sunday, August 16.
Geboren 1959 im Südafrika der Apartheid, prägten politische Umbrüche Deborah Levy früh. Ihr Vater wurde wegen seines Widerstandes gegen das Apartheid-Regime inhaftiert. Später, als Levy neun Jahre alt war, emigrierte die Familie nach England. Heute ist Deborah Levy für ihr vielseitiges Werk bekannt, das Romane, Essays, Theaterstücke und Lyrik umfasst. In den vergangenen fünfzehn Jahren war sie dreimal für den Booker Prize nominiert. Ginge es nach Magazin-Redaktorin Nina Kunz, hätte sie wohl alle drei Preise gewonnen. Levy sei eine Meisterin der genauen Beobachtung, sagt Kunz – ihre Bücher seien politisch, aber trotzdem voll von Genuss. In einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos» stellt Nina Kunz ihr Lieblingsbuch von Deborah Levy vor. Sie erzählt, wie «Was das Leben kostet» ihren Blick auf die Welt verändert – warum sie plötzlich ihr Wasserglas mit anderen Augen sieht und weshalb ein eigenes Zimmer für Frauen so wichtig ist.

Il y a des journalistes qui racontent les événements et il y a ceux qui les traversent. Pendant près de cinquante ans, Pierre Haski a été témoin du moment où le monde a cessé d'être lisible. Il a vu les empires se défaire, les frontières s'effacer, puis réapparaître. Il a vu la Chine se transformer en puissance mondiale, le Moyen-Orient devenir un foyer permanent de tensions, et les certitudes de la guerre froide s'effondrer sans mode d'emploi. Il a été correspondant à l'étranger, pour l'AFP, pour Libération. Il a fondé Rue89, décrypte la géopolitique pour France Inter et préside le conseil d'administration de Reporters sans Frontières. Dans « La fin d'un monde », paru aux éditions Stock, Pierre Haski se raconte, raconte les transformations du monde au fil de 50 ans de carrière. Il est passé en studio, on l'a interrogé avec Béatrice Delvaux, notre éditorialiste en chef. Ça donne un podcast en quatre épisodes dans lequel on retrace la marche du monde à travers ses bouleversements historiques.

Inept autocrats. Baby Hitler. Osama Bin Laden's favorite soccer team. These are just a few of the many topics that Mehdi and Adam Friedland talked about on the new episode of 'We're Not Kidding'. The comedian and host of the wildly popular YouTube talk show, 'The Adam Friedland Show', sat down with Mehdi in New York City for a chaotic yet vulnerable conversation about Israel, U.S. politics, and some of Adam's most viral interviews. But first, Mehdi needed to argue about the World Cup. Even though they come from different backgrounds, Mehdi and Adam bond over their shared profession of interviewing defensive politicians. One of Adam's most viral interviews, with Bronx Congressman Ritchie "AIPAC Guy" Torres, was of particular interest to Mehdi. "You got very emotional there. Did he make you like that? Did the situation in Gaza make you like that?" Mehdi asks. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The two also discuss: Adam's family history in South Africa. How Stephen Miller might have turned into a fascist (he and Adam went to school together). Trump's influence on the World Cup. Adam's experience working in an Israeli ambulance service. Getting Scott Jennings to admit he's a "performer." Whether Adam should run for president. And many, many, many, other things… This interview was published 7 days earlier on Zeteo.com.

This episode examines the systematic violations of Palestinian human rights and the international community's failure to hold Israel accountable for breaching its treaty obligations. Accountability is necessary for the documented crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution that Israeli authorities commit against millions of Palestinians, and the broader pattern of human rights abuses across Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. How do these violations persist despite clear international legal frameworks, and the devastating humanitarian consequences for Palestinian civilians who face displacement, restricted access to basic services, and ongoing threats to their survival? We analyze the international community's inconsistent response to these documented abuses and the urgent need for meaningful accountability mechanisms. Join host Sahar Aziz for this critical analysis of international law, state responsibility, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis facing millions of Palestinians. Our guest is Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch, whose groundbreaking documentation of Israeli apartheid and persecution led to his deportation by the Israeli government in 2019. A Stanford Law graduate and former Fulbright Scholar, Shakir has dedicated his career to human rights advocacy, from representing Guantanamo detainees at the Center for Constitutional Rights to investigating the Rab'a massacre in Egypt. His comprehensive reports on crimes against humanity in Israel and Palestine have shaped international discourse on accountability and justice. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #ICC #HumanRights BiographyOmar Shakir is the Executive Director of Democracy in the Arab World Now (DAWN), the organization founded by the late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi that seeks to change US policy in the Middle East and hold human rights abusers in the region accountable. Prior to his current role, Omar served for nearly a decade as the Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch. In that capacity, he spearheaded the organization's documentation of the genocide in Gaza and other atrocities across Israel/Palestine and authored several seminal reports, including a 213-page report documenting how Israeli authorities are committing the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution against millions of Palestinians, the most widely covered and viewed report in the organization's history. Before that, he was a Bertha Fellow at the Center for Constitutional Rights, where he worked as part of legal teams that represented men detained at Guantanamo Bay, making frequent visits to the detention facility.Recommended ReadingsExtermination and Acts of Genocide, Human Rights Watch (2024)Hopeless, Starving, and Besieged, Human Rights Watch (2024)A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution, Human Rights Watch (2021)Support the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation:Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr
Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 22 Juli 2026Bacaan: “Segala kepahitan, kegeraman dan kemarahan, pertikaian dan fitnah hendaklah dibuang dari antara kamu, demikian pula segala kejahatan.” (Efesus 4:31)Renungan: Desmond Tutu adalah Uskup Afrika Selatan. Waktu rezim Apartheid berakhir, Afrika Selatan penuh luka. Kulit hitam benci kulit putih. Kulit putih takut dengan kulit hitam. Kalau membalas dendam maka negara itu akan hancur. Kemudian dibentuklah "Komisi Kebenaran dan Rekonsiliasi". Tugasnya: mendengar kesaksian korban, dan memberi kesempatan pelaku untuk mengaku. Banyak orang bertanya ke Uskup Tutu, “Mengapa harus mengampuni? Mereka pantas dihukum!” Dia menjawab: “Kalau kita terus menyimpan kepahitan, yang dipenjara bukan mereka. Tapi hati kita sendiri.” Dia memiilih "membuang" kebencian, supaya bangsa itu bisa sembuh. Dan hal itu pada akhirnya menyelamatkan Afrika Selatan dari perang saudara. Paulus menulis bacaan di atas kepada jemaat di Efesus. Dia berkata kalau mau hidup baru di dalam Kristus, ada enam sampah yang harus dibuang dari dalam hati yaitu kepahitan, kegeraman, kemarahan, pertikaian, fitnah dan segala kejahatan. Kata kuncinya, “hendaklah dibuang”. Ini adalah satu keputusan yang tidak bisa ditawar. Kenapa harus dibuang? Karena enam sampah ini dapat merusak hubungan kita dengan Tuhan dan dengan sesama. Roh Kudus tidak bisa tinggal di hati yang penuh sampah. Dia hanya dapat tinggal di dalam hati yang penuh damai dan mau mengampuni. Mengampuni bukan berarti "yang dia lakukan benar". Mengampuni artinya: "Menyerahkan semuanya ke tangan Tuhan, sehingga kita bisa menjadi pribadi yang bebas". Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, aku membawa semua kepahitan, kemarahan, dan fitnah dalam hatiku kepada-Mu. Hari ini aku mau membuang itu semua. Ampunilah aku karena sudah menyimpan luka itu terlalu lama. Kini isi hatiku dengan kasih-Mu. Berilah aku hati yang baru dan mudah mengampuni seperti Engkau selalu mengampuni aku. Amin. (Dod).
One of the most critical parts of a democracy is the right to dissent. But if democratic norms weaken, that right can become harder to exercise. And when authoritarianism creeps into a government, dissent can get dangerous.Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison for resisting Apartheid before becoming South Africa's first Black president. Before becoming president of Czechoslovakia, Vaclav Havel was jailed for his dissident writing under Communist rule.But there are also dissidents everywhere around us here at home. Protesters demonstrated against ICE in cities across the U.S. last week. And an estimated 8 million people turned up worldwide for “No Kings” protests in March.So, what does it actually take to stand up to a government that's stopped playing by the rules? And when does it make a difference? We speak with the authors of the new book “On Courage: How To Be A Dissident in an Age of Fear.”Find more of our programs online.

Foredrag ved Tore Linné EriksenHelt fra europeerne først koloniserte Sør-Afrika, fratok de svarte sør-afrikanere deres jord, rettigheter og verdighet, en prosess som ble intensivert fra raseskillepolitikken apartheid ble formelt innført i 1948.Kampen for like rettigheter, jordreform og mot rasisme ble hovedsakelig ført av bevegelsen African National Congress (ANC), og var både politisk og militær. I dag har bevegelsen og frontfigurene heltestatus, men det er ikke mange tiår siden de var langt mer omstridte, og Nelson Mandela sto på USAs terrorliste.Ungdomsopprøret som startet i Soweto i 1976 ble både et symbol og et startskudd på den internasjonale motstanden mot apartheid, der også Norge deltok aktivt, særlig fra Fellesrådet for det sørlige Afrika, Den Norske Kirke og deler av fagbevegelsen. Mot slutten av apartheidsystemet gikk Gro Harlem Brundtlands regjering med i den globale boikott-kampanjen. Men har vi nordmenn lett for å se vel rosenrødt på vårt eget bidrag?Tore Linné Eriksen er professor emeritus ved OsloMet, og har arbeidet med Afrikas historie gjennom et langt liv. Han var sentral i solidaritetsarbeidet, og har blant annet gitt ut bøker om Sør-Afrikas historie og en biografi om Nelson Mandela. Nå vil han utvide og nyansere det vi lærte på skolen om kampen mot apartheid.I denne foredragsserien ser Litteraturhuset nærmere på noen av de viktigste protestbevegelsene i det forrige århundret, og hvilken betydning disse kampene har for vår tid. Arrangementet er støttet av NORAD. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On this day, 19 July 1984, the Dunnes Stores anti-apartheid strike began in Dublin, Ireland. Shop worker Mary Manning refused to check out a customer's South African fruit, as members of her union, Idatu, had voted to not handle South African goods. Manning was then suspended, and she and 11 of her colleagues went on strike in protest. The stoppage went on for three years, ending when the Irish government introduced a ban on South African products.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9108/dunnes-stores-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Inter Milan are closing in on the signing of Israel international Anan Khalaily in a transfer that is causing huge controversy. Some fans and human rights activists believe that Inter are whitewashing both Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people and their apartheid state by buying an Israel international. Nima Tavallaey conducted three important interviews with Dr. Thair Abu Ras of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, Andrew Feinstein who is a former member of the South African parliament for ANC under the leadership of Nelson Mandela, and Palestinian football journalist Bassil Mikdadi from Football Palestine to discuss all aspects of this issue.

Miles de migrantes en Sudáfrica se enfrentan al pánico de ser repatriados tras cumplirse el plazo límite del 30 de junio fijado por movimientos civiles radicales -y no por el Gobierno- para que abandonaran el país. La presión social ha derivado en saqueos, agresiones y patrullajes informales, obligando a más de 25.000 personas a regresar a sus naciones de origen y dejando a otras 20.000 en albergues a la espera de una evacuación. Ante este escenario, cabe preguntarse: ¿Es esta persecución un legado directo del Apartheid o se trata de una estrategia política para desviar la atención de la crisis social y el desempleo actual? Lo analizamos en El Debate de France 24 con expertas desde Johannesburgo.
In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with Yuli Novak, executive director of the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem. Their conversation covers a wide range of topics as Yuli addresses why it matters to understand the Israeli system from the inside. They discuss how Israelis were mobilized so quickly into supporting and committing genocide; the meaning and impact of the Zionist movement producing the Israeli apartheid state; and the expectation that Israeli violence and repression will continue to increase. Yuli states her belief that positive change is not coming soon, but the Israeli Jewish population has both the responsibility and ability to act to dismantle the paradigms of Jewish supremacy and militarism and work for both justice and equality. Yuli Novak is the Executive Director of B'Tselem. From 2012-2017, she was Executive Director of Breaking the Silence. In 2022, she published (in Hebrew) the memoir Who Do You Think You Are?, which will be published in English in 2026. Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere. He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. You can follow Ahmed on Substack at: https://ahmedmoor.substack.com and on X at @AhmedMoor.

Welcome back to the Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from another 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow solo travelers, share experiences, and help build world peace, one person at a time. The FAQ is: Do you feel isolated as an American traveling now? I've been solo traveling quite a bit over the past year, and I've noticed a trend. There have been multiple times when people in a group have discussed where they're from and asked questions about each other's countries. And then it gets to me, and I say the US, and it goes silent until the conversation moves on to someone else. It happens in hostels and bars. In fact, I've had multiple times where I say I'm American and the person will just instantly walk away. I know my country has done awful things that have earned this reputation. It's just disappointing that it creates a slightly isolating feeling at first. Luckily, I've had experiences where people have been really friendly, and I hope to have more of those. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I want to make it clear to those from the United States that they should not let this discourage them. The majority of my interactions don't go this way. I'm posting because I've had repeated, small incidents in several countries and want to see if others have noticed a pattern. Even when they happen, they've never felt more than just passive-aggressive. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, the Confidence Challenge in Johannesburg, is safety. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into how to feel safe when you travel alone. I also discuss my safari in Kenya, part of East Africa. You may want to book a safari in South Africa and read the book as you move through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with tips on foreign-language communication. You can find the series at the link in the description. See Book A for addressing this concern. Find it on the website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Johannesburg, South Africa. Today, we're talking about Johannesburg, or "Joburg," a place that may not feel easy at first—but that's exactly why it matters. We will cover the Apartheid Museum, Soweto, Mandela, soccer, Maboneng, Rosebank, and Sandton. We'll also tell you about a good tour guide and how to get informed. Let's be clear: this is not a relaxed, wander-anywhere kind of destination. But if you approach it thoughtfully, it becomes one of the most eye-opening cultural experiences you can have. So let's walk through what's worth your time and what requires your attention. Johannesburg is not built for tourists—it's built from history. Gold mining in the 1800s created the city. Apartheid shaped it. And today, you feel both, everywhere. You'll notice: Stark contrasts between wealth and poverty Gated neighborhoods, security systems, and guarded homes Areas where the infrastructure feels inconsistent And if you're willing to see it clearly, this city teaches you something few others can. The Apartheid Museum If you are on a solo or group tour, start here. Not optional. The Apartheid Museum is one of the most powerful museums in the world. You don't just read history—you walk through it. Give yourself at least 2–3 hours. And be ready—it's emotionally heavy. Soweto + Mandela's Legacy Next, visit Soweto—short for "South Western Township." Soweto is where history becomes personal. Before your trip, if you can, read Mandela's book, The Long Walk to Freedom. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2304771/ Walk down Vilakazi Street—home to both Nobel Peace Prize winners from the area. Nelson Mandela Desmond Tutu Visit the Nelson Mandela House, now a museum. You'll see: Local life Street vendors Music, dancing, and community But go with a guide. Not optional. There were small fires in the neighborhoods along the roadside, and some traffic lights were not working. Be aware, but be ready to learn. Want to see a Soccer game while here? There are two teams you can watch at home games. Johannesburg-based Soweto giants Orlando Pirates play home games at Orlando Stadium, which the City of Johannesburg owns. While Carling Black Label has recently partnered with Kaizer Chiefs as a sponsor, the teams' major sponsors historically have included Vodacom and others. https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/43608195/what-soweto-derby-why-kaizer-chiefs-orlando-pirates-south-africa-most-popular-teams Head to Maboneng, Johannesburg's creative district. Think: Street art Local designers Live music Markets like The Playground It's one of the few places where you can walk more freely—but still stay aware. Grab a meal, enjoy the vibe, but don't linger alone after dark. Now, let's visit Rosebank + Sandton (Modern Johannesburg) If you're wondering where things feel familiar—this is it. In Rosebank: Visit the arts and crafts market Browse local goods safely In Sandton: Upscale shopping Restaurants Hotels like Marriott Global brands like Apple and Nike It's polished—but don't confuse that with the whole city. A few dining places to consider: Pata Pata in Maboneng Salvation Café https://www.salvationcafe.co.za/ Looking for a travel guide in Johannesburg? Here's a suggestion. Beck N Coll. Benoni is Colleen Becker's hometown, just outside of Johannesburg. Her grown Son is Calvin. She's married to Glenn. "Beck n Coll "is their travel company name. Through other means,nsuch aske Servas and Host a Sister, they have had 70-plus guests so far. Help them by booking your trip with them. Here is the website for more info. This episode is not a sponsored post. They can book you on a safari tour as they are experts here. https://www.beckncoll.co.za/ https://www.instagram.com/hostasister/ Here is more on Host A Sister. It's a global Facebook community connecting women worldwide to share homes for free, fostering friendship, cultural exchange, and safe, budget-friendly travel. Members (women and non-binary individuals) offer accommodation, local meetups, and travel advice without monetary exchange, ensuring it remains a non-dating platform, and I used it here. I met Colleen through Servas, and she told me about Host a Sister, which I used later in my 90-day trip. Let's summarize and add value with my reality check: Not every place will feel intuitive or walkable—plan your stops. You'll hear "be careful," and you should question what that actually means. Here's the reality: Do not travel alone at night Use Uber or arrange drivers Stay in known areas (Sandton, Rosebank) Avoid spontaneous wandering Keep your phone out of sight in public But also, don't assume constant danger. Many travelers report no issues when they stay aware and structured, like me. This guidance is not fear-based travel. It's informed travel. Johannesburg is not about comfort. It's about understanding. You will see: Inequality Resilience Creativity My missteps: Wrong Airport in Johannesburg Travel Mistake to Avoid I should have booked Johannesburg's other airport from Cape Town. I didn't realize there were two airports, and I picked the cheaper one. I ended up on the wrong side of town and had to Uber from the airport to the train station. Then I got on the train and got to my destination. So, in the end, I did not save any money. Check the airport before you book Safari Air! Thanks for listening, and I'll see you on the next journey.

There is no shortage of books on music and politics, but Anna Harwell Celenza explores an interesting premise in her book On the Record: Music that Changed America (Norton, 2026). Each of the twelve chapters discusses a different instance when music, as Celenza writes, “sparked debates in the halls of Congress.” Arranged basically chronologically, Celenza tackles some of the most powerful and contentious issues in twentieth and twenty-first century American politics. From censorship to copyright law; from the Civil Rights Movement, to foreign policy during Apartheid, Celenza traces the extraordinary moments when music moved Congress, challenged power, and united people around shared ideals. The stories Celenza tells are just as much about music including the intertwined histories of “The Star Spangled Banner” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing” or the making of Paul Simon's album Graceland, as they are about US legislation or American politics. She offers readers a history of America heard through the songs and compositions that changed its course. Learn more about your ad choices.

Am 16. Juni 1976 protestieren in südafrikanischen Soweto Tausende Schüler gegen die Apartheid-Regierung und Afrikaans als Unterrichtssprache. Die Polizei reagiert brutal. Der Aufstand wird zum Wendepunkt. Die Folgen prägen Südafrika bis heute. Ueberbach, Stephan www.deutschlandfunk.de, Hintergrund
When the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in 2021, they didn't just alter the country's political landscape—they systematically dismantled the legal and social reality for all women and girls. Through a continuous rollout of oppressive edicts, women and girls have been banned from universities, barred from working for NGOs, and forbidden from even speaking aloud in public spaces. International legal experts and activists are increasingly calling this reality gender apartheid. In this episode, we sit down with Rina Amiri, top diplomat and former U.S. Special Envoy for Afghan Women, Girls, and Human Rights. Having spent decades navigating the complex world of conflict resolution and international peacebuilding at the UN and the State Department, Amiri brings an unparalleled level of insight to one of the most critical human rights crises of our time.

Once there was a girl who sang from the heart, and fought for freedom through her music. Her name was Miriam Makeba. She was raised in South Africa in the 1930s, where laws oppressed Black people like her. She rose up in song to fight the racist system of Apartheid. She used her voice to travel the world and bring awareness about the injustices her people faced at home. Because of this, she was banned from returning to South Africa for many years. After moving to the United States her career was upended when she married a controversial leader of the civil rights leader. But she still used her fame as a platform for change, and came to be known as “Mama Africa”.
