So what is it that forced us, over these years of our common history, of pursuing a part that was antithetical to our survival, you know, in other words, pursuing a part of accumulating synthetic items that represented value.
Imagine growing up in a world where the color of your skin dictates your entire existence. In this compelling episode of 'Recovery and Transformation', host Sameer Dossani sits down with Professor Rasigan Maharajh to discuss his harrowing experiences under apartheid and his remarkable journey towards transformation.
Professor Maharajh recounts the harsh realities of apartheid, from the establishment of Chatsworth to segregate people of Indian origin from Black communities, to the pervasive sense of oppression felt by all Black people during that era. The conversation takes us through the rise of Black Consciousness and Trade Unionism, highlighting the importance of solidarity funds and mutual aid in those tumultuous times.
Maharajh's vivid memories of the Soweto Uprising of 1976 and the violent clashes that ensued provide a stark reminder of the brutal fight for freedom. He delves into the collapse of the apartheid regime, discussing how financial sanctions played a pivotal role, and emphasizes the need for a natural ecology over synthetic values. This episode isn't just a history lesson; it's a powerful narrative about resilience, community, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
Whether you're familiar with apartheid's history or new to these stories, Maharajh's insights offer a profound look at how individuals and communities can rise above oppression to forge a better future.
