A compelling discussion from one of the most astute and articulate chroniclers of South Africa and its ties to the continent, including the South African Left. Limited seats – first 20 to register. Bilis! Lunch and refreshments served. (After the meal we’ll have a discussion on dried African bush meat and fermenting chillies.)
