After 8 is After 8 - BDSM - The politics of the bedroom

Sexual abuse is often spoken about—but not always fully understood. When we talk about survivors, the focus is usually on women and children. But there’s another reality that remains largely hidden, uncomfortable, and often dismissed: men who have been sexually assaulted or abused by women.
For many of these men, the trauma is compounded by silence—by stigma, disbelief, and the pressure to conform to ideas of masculinity that say men cannot be victims. Some are laughed off, others are told they should have wanted it, and many never speak at all. Tonight, we open up a difficult but necessary conversation. What does abuse look like from a male perspective? Why is it so hard for men to come forward? And what happens when society refuses to see them as survivors?

AFTER 8 IS AFTER 8: The Silence Around Male Survivors

A fresh chapter in the Phala Phala saga is raising serious questions about the rule of law—and whether it was followed at the highest levels of policing. A newly released report by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate has found that members of the Presidential Protection Service conducted what it describes as an unlawful, off-the-books investigation into the 2020 burglary at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm. According to the report, no formal criminal case was
ever opened, despite the theft of large sums of foreign currency. Instead, officers allegedly used state
resources to track suspects across provinces and even beyond South Africa’s borders—without proper
authorisation or legal process. The findings raise troubling questions about how such a significant case could bypass standard procedures. And while the report details alleged misconduct by
senior officers, it stops short of answering one of the biggest questions: what did the President know?
As political and legal pressure mounts, tonight we unpack what this report reveals—and what it could
mean for accountability within law enforcement and the presidency.

Phala Phala Fallout: IPID Report Raises New  Questions ( ATM’s Vuyo Zungula )

What should South African children learn about their past—and who gets to decide? Government has opened the door to a major shift in how history is taught in schools, with Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube proposing a new curriculum that places Africa at the centre of the story. The draft, now open for public comment, suggests teaching South African history from before 1652, and shifting focus away from topics like the American civil rights movement, towards Africa’s own liberation struggles. It’s a move some say is long overdue—part of a broader effort to decolonise education and ensure that learners understand their own history first. But others are asking whether this risks narrowing perspectives, or even politicising what is taught in classrooms. So tonight, we ask: should South Africa rewrite its history curriculum to be more African-centred—or should it remain globally balanced? What does a truly inclusive history look like?
