How koeksisters and Bible verses can keep women safe
You can only address gender-based violence in the long term through major structural reform. But South Africa’s women don’t have the long term: they need to be safe now.
In the final episode of our third season, we’re talking to a Cape Flats activist who used the sale of koeksisters during lockdown as a pretence to offer battered women shelter. And we’re speaking to a British academic who believes her work with churches can provide a model for other countries with strong religious institutions.
Don’t Shoot the Messenger is produced by Haji Mohamed Dawjee and written and presented by Rebecca Davis with editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro, sound mix by Bernard Kotze and additional support by Kathryn Kotze.
This podcast has been sponsored by Ninety One.
