Milisuthando Bongela-Journalist, writer, film-maker

Milisuthando Bongela only started dealing with apartheid once it was over. She was about 8 years old.

Today she has reached a stage of spiritual calmness and confidence that enables her to confront racism and sexism without fear or anger.

We had a great discussion and she said some powerful things about being black, the legacy of race in our intimate spaces and the complexity of forgiveness and reconciliation in a country filled with rage

Milisuthando and her friend, the writer and teacher Athambile Masola launch a ten-part podcast on Kaya FM on February 21 called Umoya: On African Spirituality. in the show they interview cultural activists, artists, politicians and healers on the spiritual aspects of their work.
