(Conversation recorded on July 17th, 2024)   Addressing the risks we face on a global scale is a challenge that can feel both enormous in execution and personally daunting. When it comes to finding the motivation and inspiration to do such work, one of the best sources of insight comes from the visionaries and activists who have come before us, who know what it takes to battle – and successfully transform – entrenched systems of power. What advice and wisdom can we learn from their stories and experience?  In this episode, Nate is joined by Mamphela Ramphele, co-founder of the Black Consciousness Movement, which was instrumental in building the ideological foundation that galvanized the struggle for Liberation under the apartheid regime in South Africa, ultimately leading to its dismantling. She shares her wisdom gained from over five decades of movement building and liberation as a means of structural change; something that is deeply relevant to positive outcomes during the coming Great Simplification.  What does it mean to be self-liberated and what role does this process play in propeling shifts in cultural values? How can we work across and within generations to create movements that transcend immediate and near term-goals? Is it possible to create policies founded on a deeper set of values- - and could doing so encourage more people to become ‘Guardians of the Planet'?   About Mamphela Ramphele: Dr. Mamphela Ramphele has had a celebrated career as an activist, global public servant, academic, businesswoman and thought leader. Dr. Ramphele was co-founder of The Black Consciousness Movement with Steve Biko that reignited the struggle for freedom in South Africa. She holds a PhD in Social Anthropology, is a medical doctor, and is the co-founder of ReimagineSA, the former co-president of The Club of Rome, and is the Chair at the Desmond Tutu IP Trust.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on Youtube   --- Support Institute for the Study of Energy and Our Future Join our Substack newsletter Join our Discord channel and connect with other listeners

Ep. 107 (Part 2 of 2) | Dr. Mamphela Ramphele, global thought leader, author, medical doctor, scholar, anti-apartheid activist, and co-founder of the Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa has lived her extraordinary life guided by the knowing that every one of us is part of an inextricably linked system, and to live life as an authentic human being means assuming responsibility for oneself, others, and the whole web of life. Here, she connects the dots for us in so many ways, telling the remarkable story of how the Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa was born with the realization that accepting a second-class identity was only perpetuating apartheid, internally and externally, and right away, the group became aware they needed to bring forth practical manifestations of this new consciousness. Mamphela has worked to do exactly that—bring the values of expanded consciousness into being—her whole life, first as an anti-apartheid activist and doctor, in bimonthly meetings with Nelson Mandela when he was in prison, writing books on social-economic issues in South Africa, and later, working to manifest the values of compassion, dignity, and social justice on a global level as a managing director of the World Bank, co-president of The Club of Rome, and more.When asked what hurts, Mamphela describes the terrible conditions in South Africa, which she explains could have been averted if post-apartheid leaders had chosen to act for the wellbeing of all rather than getting enmeshed in party politics. And what gives Mamphela hope? The hope she sees in the eyes of young people (and old), and the transformations already underway in small communities. As she says, “the world has lost its way…it's all about having more rather than being more,” but Mamphela believes real change will happen in the next couple of decades, when our personal, professional, and political lives become framed by the same value system—the values of ubuntu, the traditional, indigenous wisdom values of Africa, which are not only Africa's heritage but all of ours. Inspiring and enlightening, this conversation is a transmission from a vibrant elder who fully understands and puts into practice what it means to live an authentic, compassionate life, with courage, humor, integrity, and wisdom.

Almost thirty years after the end of apartheid, Black South Africans still fight for African liberation from colonial narratives. While previous generations struggled to end apartheid, younger generations now face the task of reimagining themselves, their communities, and the world. Mamphela Ramphele and Nolita Mvunelo discuss the need for intergenerational collaboration to combine the wisdom of older generations with the energy of younger ones. The need for social equity ties into the idea of ecological civilizations as an alternative to our current society. Ramphele and Mvunelo emphasize the need to consider freedom for all life, not just humans and see the Earth Charter as an opportunity to help build a new narrative for ecological civilizations.

Dr. Mamphela Ramphele, Co-Founder of ReimagineSA and Co-President of the Club of Rome, spoke about her disappointment in President Cyril Ramaphosa's leadership and the hopes she had, the failures to distinguish between being president of the country and head of state, and the importance of citizen coalitions for all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Le Dr Mamphela Ramphele, médecin de formation, est une ancienne militante anti-apartheid. Elle a fait la rencontre de Desmond Tutu dans les années 1970, quand elle faisait partie du mouvement de la Black Consciouness avec son conjoint le militant Steve Biko assassiné en 1977. Aujourd'hui elle préside la Desmond Tutu IP Trust qui gère la propriété intellectuelle de Desmond Tutu qui est décédé ce 26 décembre. RFI : Est-ce qu'il est possible de situer le moment où Desmond Tutu est devenu une icône de la lutte contre l'apartheid. C'était bien avant son prix Nobel de la paix reçu en 1984 ? Dr Mamphela Ramphele : Je ne dirais pas qu'il existe un moment en particulier, mais c'était quand il est devenu le Secrétaire général du Conseil sud-africain des églises, à partir de 1978. Il était à l'avant-poste pour défendre les gens qui étaient violemment oppressés. Il est devenu la voix qui s'est dressée et a dit au régime de l'apartheid : vous avez peut-être l'air puissant, mais le Dieu que nous prions l'est encore plus. Il est aussi devenu la voix qui appelait au boycott économique de l'Afrique du Sud, et c'est ce qu'il l'a mis sous le feu des projecteurs. Desmond Tutu a présidé la Commission vérité et réconciliation censée faire la lumière sur les crimes commis sous le régime de l'apartheid. Réconcilier mais aussi rendre justice aux victimes. Et sur ce dernier point, certains l'accusent d'avoir été trop faible, notamment la jeune génération qui estime que les bourreaux du régime s'en sont sortis à bon compte. Est-ce injuste de penser comme cela, et a-t-il souffert de ces critiques ? C'est injuste de reprocher à Desmond Tutu l'inefficacité de la Commission vérité et réconciliation. Sa mission était de faire appliquer ce qui avait déjà été conclu entre l'ANC et le gouvernement de l'apartheid. C'est-à-dire, suivre le chemin de la vérité, l'amnistie et la réconciliation. Il n'a pas ménagé ses efforts. C'était un processus très stressant, sa femme devait s'asseoir à côté de lui pour le soutenir à chaque fois qu'il était submergé par l'émotion. Mais plus important encore, des compensations étaient prévues pour les victimes qui sont venues témoigner à cœur ouvert. Imaginez, vous avez une société profondément divisée et à travers les larmes de ces témoins, nous avons un pont. Et il était l'architecte de ce pont. Et il s'est senti trahi quand le peu qui était promis aux gens venus soutenir le processus de la Commission et qui avaient accepté que l'on offre l'amnistie aux gens qui ont tué leurs proches. Beaucoup sont morts sans toucher un centime. C'est une honte, mais ce n'est pas la faute de Desmond Tutu. Desmond Tutu a rendu populaire l'expression « la nation arc-en-ciel » pour désigner l'Afrique du Sud où cohabite une population diverse, faite de noirs, métisses, indiens et blancs. D'où vient cette expression ? C'était sa façon de nous encourager à regarder l'humanité comme un jardin. Une roseraie ne serait pas belle si elle n'était composée que de fleurs jaunes, rouges ou blanches. L'arc-en-ciel ce n'est pas seulement le symbole d'un mélange des couleurs, mais aussi celui d'un nouveau jour après de sombres et pluvieux nuages. Et les arcs-en-ciels sont la manifestation de l'espoir pour des jours meilleurs. Le symbole de l'arc-en-ciel comme héritage, c'est vraiment du pur Desmond Tutu.

‘If Steve Biko were alive today, we would have a country that gladly embraces African culture as the dominant driving force for how society is organised ...' In 1968, two young medical students, Steve Biko and Mamphela Ramphele, fell in love while dreaming of a life free from oppression and racial discrimination. Their love story is also the story of the founding of the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) by a group of 15 principled and ambitious students at the University of Natal in Durban in the early 1970s. In this deeply personal book, Hlumelo Biko, who was born of Steve and Mamphela's union, movingly recounts his parents' love story and how the BCM's message of black self-love and self-reliance helped to change the course of South African history. Based on interviews with some of the BCM's founding members, Black Consciousness describes the early years of the movement in vivid detail and sets out its guiding principles around a positive black identity, black theology and the practice of Ubuntu through community-based programmes. In spiritual conversation with his father, Hlumelo re-examines what it takes to live a Black Consciousness life in today's South Africa. He also explains why he believes his father – who was brutally murdered by the apartheid police in 1977 – would have supported true radical economic transformation if he were alive today.

Our kids are getting exposure - wouldn't we rather it be from us instead of other kids at school? This is true of so many things, and trafficking is one of them. Actually, our youth are the biggest targets and victims of trafficking globally. Equipping them with the knowledge of what trafficking looks like is one of the most powerful things we can do to help fight it! That's what Rasha and Youth Underground are here to do. Last week, Rasha, the founder and CEO of the Youth Underground organization, came on the show to educate us about all things trafficking. We discussed the different forms that trafficking takes and who the victims and the perpetrators are. Something that I learned is that trafficking does not discriminate against age, gender, race, or geographical location - this is taking place all around the globe to all kinds of people! Now, Rasha is back to give us the information we need to fight this heinous crime. And guess what? The solution starts with us! The more we know, the more we can do to prevent human trafficking, and the more we can share with those around us on how to do the same. Rasha has some great advice on educating ourselves and the youth in our lives so that we can actually make a difference.

DR Mamphela Ramphele has had a celebrated career as an activist, medical doctor, academic, businesswoman and political thinker.   Well known for cofounding Black Consciousness with Steve Biko in South Africa, she was one of only 4 Managing Directors of World Bank, stood for South African Presidential election in 2014, is a trustee of Nelson Mandela Foundation, and member of Club of Rome. Above all she is a humanitarian and activist for societal change. We talk about creating an abundant mindset by reconnecting to what we value as human connection and to our environment. That healing racial tension comes form acknowledgement, forgiveness, looking each other directly and creating a new value system.

In this last episode of Season 1, we discuss Black Consciousness with historian, Dr Ian Macqueen. It is easy to reduce Black Consciousness to just a moment in South African history, but in reality it provided black people with the ideological tools to overcome fear. We start by looking at the radicalization of Afrikaner and African nationalism following World War II, and how this ultimately set the stage for confrontation. What were some of the key moments in the fight against apartheid in the 1950's? What is the importance of the formation of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) in the development of Black Consciousness (BC) ideology? One cannot deny the contribution of Black Theology in the rise of BC. We discuss the role of Steve Biko in the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM). Why is he considered the father of BC? What about the other prominent figures like Mamphela Ramphele and Barney Pityana? We look at the roots of BC in the South African Students Organisation (SASO). Why did SASO split from NUSAS? Why did SASO originate in Durban? We look at the way in which Black Consciousness changed the thinking of black and oppressed people; how it became a way to reclaim a sense of self-esteem and humanity. The BCM also provided for a cultural reawakening. Do you know the Soweto Poets? We've also asked Dr Macqueen to explain the link between BC and the Soweto Uprising of 1976. How did Abram Tiro and the SASO 9 trial contribute to events that transpired in Soweto? We conclude by taking a look at the legacy of BC. Did this ideology end with the death of Steve Biko? Is there any relation between BC and Black Lives Matter? Black Consciousness should not be reduced to a moment in history, but provides an important starting point for necessary conversations around race relations in South Africa. Dr Macqueen is a lecturer at the University of Pretoria and his book, Black Consciousness and Progressive Movements Under Apartheid, goes into more detail on the topic.

Stephen Sackur talks to Mamphela Ramphele, anti-apartheid activist, prominent public figure and former partner of the late Steve Biko, one of the heroes of the liberation struggle. She has launched a new political movement with an outspoken attack on the failings of ANC governance. The political supremacy of the African National Congress in post-apartheid South Africa has never been seriously threatened. She says she is on a journey to realise South Africa's dreams, but how far will she get?

Africa's political leaders are taking major steps to build a better foundation for investment one of its most influential business leaders told the recent 14th annual Wharton Africa Business Forum.
