Respecting and Preserving African Culture

With Vincent Mothoa

In this episode of The Power Shift, George Mashile and Vincent Mothoa have a thoughtful conversation about African culture, family and marriage traditions. They explore the meaning of “motswala o nyala motswala,” the important role of Rakgadi during marriage processes, and the practice of go ikilela—how it is observed, why it matters and who is expected to observe it. The conversation encourages us to understand the meaning behind our traditions, ask questions and preserve this knowledge for future generations.
