Remembering Slaves at the Cape

Welcome to the Radio Workshop!

A group of young reporters from Manenberg took to the streets of Cape Town’s inner city for a very special tour. They explored the too often forgotten history of slavery and how it shaped the city and the identity of its residents, past and present. Their guides, Lucy Campbell and Ferdi James Van Tura, brought to life the stories of suffering, resilience and hope of the slaves of the Cape.
The tour started at the auction block, the very spot where slaves were sold and through a role play, Ferdi gave the young reporters a taste of what it must have felt like to go through this traumatic process.

The Radio Workshop would like to thank Lucy and Ferdi and the Iziko Slave Lodge for this moving and educational experience.

Youth Underemployment

With 42 percent of people age 18-25 out of a job, there’s lots of talk about unemployment. But what about young people who are underemployed – working in jobs that don’t match their skills or don’t pay an adequate salary to make a living?  We speak to Ndiphe, a young man who works as a parking marshall six days a week.
