The Lusikisiki killings which took place a few weeks ago has no doubt shook the nation. 18 family members were  shot and killed in two houses where they gathered at the Ngobozana village for a traditional ceremony. It is still not clear what the motive of the shooting was. In recent times, we have witnessed several mass shootings across the country that has left communities traumatized. More often than not, these bereaved families are left with very limited resources in the form of psycho-social support and how to rebuild their lives.

This morning, we speak to Nomfundo Mogapi as she shares her experience in Lusikisiki as she engaged with the police, pastors, social workers, GBV combat teams and forensic experts to support the family members. She also highlights the need for more structural support when it comes to preparing social workers, pastors, forensic professionals and combat teams for scenes of mass violence so they can help communities process the trauma of these experiences. 

Guest: Nomfundo Mogapi - Clinical Psychologist 

Guest: Nyameka Poswa - Secretary of the Lusikisiki SGBVF combat team

As we continue to track the year of elections, we take a moment to reflect on the latest developments in one of the largest election processes this year: the United States of America. With the elections just days away, some Americans view immigration and the economy as part of their top five policy issues. Citizens want to see decline of immigrants coming into the country. There is little consensus on whether that be articulated as a restrictive policy imperative that includes domestic deportation operations or if it should reflect infrastructure support to help neighboring countries to prevent a mass exodus to the USA. Citizens are also concerned about the state the economy whether it be taxes, jobs and protection measures on imported goods have become central to what may sway undecided voters.
