This episode will lead us to the Southern tip of Africa, and we will look at love in the context of race and culture.
The history of South Africa is marked by great racial injustice. For decades it was forbidden by law to engage in interracial relationships. Now, a quarter of a century after Apartheid ended, many interracial couples still struggle as not everyone accepts love between races. However, sometimes the gap between races is as thin as hair. After listening to the podcast, you will know that this is meant quite literally.
Khine, a young black woman from Cape Town talks about her relationship with Lars, a white man from Germany. Their relationship is hence unusual in many ways, crossing not only races, but also cultures and continents.
Khine’s story - as any story told in this podcast - should not be seen as a generalizing example of how love is or should be in a certain context but rather as a way of how love can be.
