On the air since 1987, Amandla is a weekly African current affairs program founded in response to racist and misleading mainstream media coverage of Southern Africa.

Since then, the team has expanded the show’s mandate to cover the entire continent, to take stories past the headlines of the mainstream media to show the complexity, creativity, courage and vision of Africans as they confront their colonial past and neo-colonial present.

Other collaborators include Sama Elibyari, Mouloud Idir, Roberto Nieto, Zahra Moloo and Sophie Toupin.

Radio Workshop  To Vote or Not to Vote in Zimbabwe   Favoriting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU4-emWFrw8&list=PL2tqsBCIlZu_P-sa8TdGT2n0l7QLW-Qgs&index=1  oung people in Zimbabwe are torn. Not just about who to vote for, but whether or not they’ll vote at all. Zimbabweans head to the polls on August 23rd 2023. It may be the first or second time young people can participate in the election of a president since the end of Robert Mugabe’s 37-year rule in 2017. The coup that toppled him sparked new hope. But election violence, an unstable economy and lack of reforms in the years since have jaded Zimbabwe’s youth.

Radio Workshop  This Coal Life - Just Transition in South Africa   Favoriting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=440HUtcJuog&list=PL2tqsBCIlZu_P-sa8TdGT2n0l7QLW-Qgs&index=2  The Skosanas live a modest yet comfortable life in Kriel, South Africa. And they owe it all to coal. In fact, their family has worked in this industry for generations. But, now, South Africa is set to be rewired and renewable energy will replace coal to dramatically reduce carbon emissions. The government says it will be a “Just Transition,” with better jobs and cheaper energy. But what happens to the people who built their lives on coal?
