Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How The Dream Club Uses Local Stories to Ignite Literacy and Ambition
Q: Tell us about the Change Driver program and how we can put our hands up.
Ramaphakela describes a new book about a boy who uses a wheelchair and planned reading drives at schools, especially those serving children with disabilities. Listeners can get or sponsor a book, or take part, through thedreamclub.co.za.
Umngqungqo Orchestral Experience
Q: How do you achieve that balance between Western symphonic classical structures and indigenous rhythms and storytelling?
Maswana says indigenous music is foundational and that he combines it with familiar jazz and gospel sounds to help carry indigenous traditions to future generations.
How The Dream Club Uses Local Stories to Ignite Literacy and Ambition
Q: From your experience, why are so many children struggling with basic comprehension? And why do you think that storytelling is maybe the best way to address it?
Ramaphakela connects comprehension difficulties to children reading less and having too few books that reflect their own surroundings. Familiar stories can make reading more relatable, especially when children encounter unfamiliar places and settings in school books.
Umngqungqo Orchestral Experience
Q: What do you think is at the heart of the embrace of your creative instincts?
Maswana says the production's beauty lies in its storytelling and indigenous musical foundation, blended with jazz and classical music to bring different audiences together.
Dr Abdullah Abdurahman: South Africa's First Elected Black Politician
Q: Why the obscurity?
Plaut says apartheid-era governments would not promote leaders of colour, and he argues that later ANC-centered historical narratives also gave little attention to Abdurahman and the African Political Organization.
