Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit

The Lead: G4S directors roasted in Parli

Following the Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere and the listener conversations it sparked, Lester Kiewit speaks to Kyle Janse, researcher at the Centre for Analytics and Behavioural Change, about how the internet is shaping ideas of masculinity. Drawing on a year-long analysis of over two million South African social media posts, Janse explores the pressures men face around financial provision, absentee fatherhood, and emotional socialisation, as well as the ridicule and backlash men encounter when challenging harmful norms. The discussion also highlights emerging ideas of positive masculinity and the role online spaces play in reinforcing, contesting, and reshaping traditional gender expectations.

A World View from London: Iran’s long range missile threat

After more than 30 years since South Africa became a democracy, it is still asked why it is necessary that we are asked to state our race or that of our children. It is a question which one encounters whether applying for a job, a tender, or when enrolling them into a school or university. Lester Kiewit speaks to Ryland Fisher, the author of Race (published in 2007), a book dealing with race and racism in post-apartheid South Africa.
