Debate and development - key ingredient to the Afro-optimist dream. Invited guest: Mr Kapalu Mutenda
In this episode I spoke to Mr Kapalu Mutenda, a media consultant and content creator. He shared his thoughts on the importance of debate for a healthy society. Debate is an important skill which allows us to challenge ideas, and seek out innovative solutions. We should welcome debate at all levels of society, because no one has the monopoly of good ideas and innovation.

"Fine-tuning culture" - Do we have the right to "edit" cultural practices?
Culture is about patterns of life and living together, including how we treat key life events like: birth, marriage, entering adulthood, funerals and so on. But does culture need to be edited? Can it be improved? Or is there meant to be left unchanged, because it has already stood the test of time? Heritage is about our past, culture is about the patterns we carry on today. Are we supposed to preserve culture or try to improve it?

Are you an Afro Optimist?
We look at the meaning of Afro-Optimism, Afro-Pessimism and why this matters. Should we dream big for Africa, or does realism dictate otherwise? What can we learn from the case of Celpay Zambia, M-Pesa, 419 scams and African history? Where do you stand in all this? #readbetweenthelines-africa
