S2 E6_Inboekselings | SA's Forgotten Slave History in The North West Province
Hello Fellow Travellers and welcome to all my new travelling friends (a.k.a listeners)! In this season finale, I discuss the forgotten slave past in the North West province. Then, I read excerpts from Bothlale Tema's book, "Land of My Ancestors", which delves deeper into the history of slavery in the interior and northern parts of South Africa. I also go on to discuss a book inspired travel destination that I would like to add to my bucket list.
I know! This is a heavy topic to end with, but it feels right to end the season here. Yet, stay tuned because I plan to return with a new season later this year (2026). Until then, enjoy!

S3 E6_Free Cape Town Birthday Specials | Western Cape
Hello fellow travellers! It wouldn't be a proper season if I didn't include an episode about discounted travels deals in South Africa. In this episode I discuss free birthday entrance deals that South Africans can get at certain tourist attractions in Cape Town. One of them is one of the world's "seven wonders of nature". So, if you're planning to travel to Cape Town soon, I advise that you plan your trip around your birthday and celebrate your birthday week in the Mother City so that you can enjoy some discounted travel deals. Enjoy!

S3 E5_BoKaap | Cape Town | Western Cape
Hello fellow travellers, in this episode I discuss and appreciate the positive living legacies of slavery in the Cape. One of those heritages include BoKaap, which is a slave descendent islamic community situated above Cape Town's city centre. I offer travel advice on some of the places you can visit and cultural activities you can participate in, that include the BoKaap museum and Tweede Nuwe Jaar carnival.
Bokaap is a community that, although, is impacted by the dominant narratives of black vs white, African spirituality vs christianity which have come to define South Africa, it is not defined by them. Therefore, it is an example of how diverse South African society, cultural heritage and religion is. It is not propaganda but a true, lived South African reality. Enjoy!
