In this episode of Boring Conversations, South African writer and activist Zukiswa Wanner joins us from the Global Sumud Flotilla, a civilian mission sailing toward Gaza. She and colleagues from over 40 countries — artists, scientists, humanitarians, ordinary people — are demanding a humanitarian corridor to deliver food and medicine where governments have failed.
We talk about the double standards of international law, South Africa’s case against Israel at the ICJ, the silence of the UN, and the falsehood that Gaza’s struggle began on October 7.
This is a conversation about Gaza, Africa, and the Global South, about dictators who always crumble, and about sumud — steadfastness in the face of oppression.Stay connected and never miss an episode.
