During the Fees Must Fall movement, we saw the powerful and symbolic use of naked protests as students fought for affordable education and equality. Some women protesters, shedding their clothes in protest, brought an element of vulnerability and defiance that underscored the urgency of their message. Naked protests have a long history in South Africa and across Africa as a means to call out injustice and confront power structures. Tonight, on Weird & Wonderful, we’re exploring this impactful form of activism, its roots, and why it continues to resonate in social movements across the continent. And joining me for this conversation is Dr Mpho Mathebula, Lecturer in the Department of Psychology, School of Human and Community Development at Wits University.
