Vul’umlomo: Conversations on Culture | Unpacking Identity | Episode 3​

Interrogating our identity through lenses such as gender expression, degrees of Africanism and cultural preservation is important for understanding ourselves as a society. ​
In our 3rd episode of the Viceroy #Vulumlomo: Conversations on Culture, our host Robert Marawa engages our esteemed panel, Dr Bishop Jessica Mbangeni, Mr Mbuso Khoza, Mrs Sinqobile Aderinoye and Mr Anele Siswana in a discussion about who we are in African culture and what this means for us in modern day society. ​

Ubab khoza is a star its sad we are not spreading him to us as the youth!

[@AyandaNkabinde1212]

Sinqobile was my therapist. She is HEALING personified. She took the shame out of not being ok, here I am, ALIVE and content. I am grateful Sinqobile, MAKWANDE!❤

[@andilemhlongo9744]

This is hard for bab uKhoza, as he has a huge gap of intellect between himself and the rest of the guests 😊

[@mbusokhoza]

😂🙉😮

[@sanelepcele]

Could have been such a beautiful conversation and the intelligence of bab'khoza deserved a bit of a stage but what this panel focused on is everyone's personal personification of egos & emotions.

[@cassendrankosi699]

Exactly 👏👌

[@thamsanqagamede528]

Babu Khoza, salute!!! for being clear on issues.

[@mbongsenicollistic9060]

but why is this episode nt in a million views.....salute to mbuso khoza

[@sandileshange3068]

Respect to ubaba uKhoza for the truth and diluting it

[@SbalCOOL]

Mbuso Khoza's ancient wisdom is as valuable as gifts of gold.

[@nomusachauke1163]

I would have loved to hear Mkhulu Khoza opinions of the LGBTQIA+ marriage, culture, kids & surnames. It would be lovely to expand this conversation.

[@monwabisiqutu4383]

and when it comes to surnames I want my name to a surname now ngeke kaloku

[@mlktha_don6729]

I think this LGBTQIA+ thing in it current form is foreign to Africa.i blv we had our own views,beliefs and perceptions around it not this Eurocentric view

[@xoladlamini3675]

Yea, this talk was too short. Serious conversations like this build and are worth however many hours, a series

[@ZikhaliZemkhonto-ix5wt]

If you are gay and use pro nouns I don't think Khoza will partake in that convorsation ngoba he has said it before we only have two semale and female only

[@ZikhaliZemkhonto-ix5wt]

If you are gay and use pro nouns I don't think Khoza will partake in that convorsation ngoba he has said it before we only have two semale and female only

[@realnews8075]

Bab' khoza has is full of facts....facts not emotional opinions....he is the only logical masculine thinker....he doesn't trying to be western People are tryi g to be while and accept delusional concepts

[@vusibuthelezi4685]

I am very lucky to have heard ( and still do@UkhoziFm) ubab' Khoza. In this podcast I am blessed to have heard bab' Anele's take on being gay. I am actually embarrassed by my ignorance before seeing this podcast. How judgemental we are about things we nothing about! To the two ladies, wow! Where have you been!? We have been dying of lacking knowledge and our mothers have been holding out so much knowledge and wisdom? 😢😢

[@MelVeeBroadcastingNetwork]

Wooow Robert Marawa... You are an awesome anchor. Pulling this overflowing 4-stream dialogie was fascinating.

[@saneleluckyradebe7959]

Mbuso Khoza is an intellectual giant when it comes to putting things into perspective

[@nqubekophewa2295]

👏👏babKhoza ekugcineni just said my view exactly

[@mawandumusambonane920]

I like Gay guest, he represented LGBTI community very well. So proud of you, Sir. Shout out Bab Khoza. Thanks Mr Marawa....

[@dr_thongoliyakhanya]

As uGogo & Lesbian myself, I enjoyed this conversation. Thanks Everyone.

[@viceroysouthafrica5476]

Hello Lulwandle👋, we look forward to providing you with insightful conversations on culture. #Vulumlomo #CharacterShapedByGenerations

[@zimingonaphakadesigenu8788]

In these conversations about culture, identity and being African, I would appreciate a perspective from and/or about the coloured community. I feel like in many mainstream conversations in this country, coloured people, their perspectives, and their experiences are missing. Many of them have ancestry that is indigenous to Africa as much as they have Asian, European, etc. lineage, and I feel like their voices need to be included instead of sticking to the binary of black vs white or black and white. Not taking their inclusion seriously in such spaces contributes to the existing division between the coloured community and the rest of the African community because we remain so ignorant to each other's experiences which at some point in our histories converged and were one. Yeah... otherwise a very lovely and informative show

[@monwabisiqutu4383]

you have a very serious point there

[@tintswalomasinge3584]

You are correct in so many ways

[@ZikhaliZemkhonto-ix5wt]

But there is no such group as coloured people coloured means people of colour so that's term is broad and racist against black people

[@sethinthecity4924]

These topics cut so deep thank you Viceroy and esteemed panel for another amazing episode!

[@viceroysouthafrica5476]

[@amumaluleka73]

Lovely to see Anele and Sinqobile as guests. This show covers such a vast amount of important topics that people shy away from speaking on.

[@viceroysouthafrica5476]

Hello Sithuthukile👋, thank you for tuning in🙏. #Vulumlomo #CharacterShapedByGenerations

[@gugu-p4j]

powerful episode, if possible may we see more of bishop Maponga and bab' Khoza. they truly have been gifted with ancient answers for modern day africans.

[@nqubekophewa2295]

Both maternal and paternal makes up your identity. Yes you can't be identified by both at the same time but then again you can't ignore one of them.

[@palesamogorosi8939]

I personally embrace and acknowledge both my maternal and paternal lineage, which is why when someone asks me which tribe do I belong to, I refer to myself as Sotho-Tswana and not simply Tswana just because my dad is Tswana. I will never ignore my maternal heritage of Basotho. I am made up of both and both of these cultures encompass my identity as a person. Why erase the other? No.

[@tsekomotshegoa]

Thanks to all the guests for the enlightening discussions. And I particularly appreciated the inputs from the psychologists, Sinqobile and Anele, please invite them again.

[@viceroysouthafrica5476]

Hi Amu, we do believe that it is very important to create a platform that encourages conversations like this to happen and we love that you are part of it. Thanks for your support.

[@nbmshazi7426]

This is the content we really needed as the modern youth. Keep them coming .

[@mlktha_don6729]

Thers a lot of older people who can't speak this type English but know than that whole panel,English for black people is a tool for sounding intelligent and educated not necessarily to be understood and to get ur point across.

[@jacobthenoblesmith1892]

Beautiful conversation with open minded people, I have learned so much

[@jeromelubabalojacobs8872]

The gem that is Khoza. I love this dude.

[@brianmncube5080]

I love the idea of creating learning tools via digitalising. Creating e.g a game to help the youth would be the quickest way to for them (youth) to absorb such knowledge.

You talk about africanness, but the reality is what if ubaba wami is Zulu and my mom is white, am i an african because i was born here, or because my father is really an african, what if my father is dutch and my mother is italian, am i african because i was born in africa?

Gr8 point,now we r listening to them use English that even white people dnt use in a normal conversation.i hate how blacks speak in this type English bcoz it takes away from making the point and being understood but rather about sounding intelligent

[@cryptocontinent6789]

Well One can never be Two and Two can never be One but together they bring out Three same applies to binary code, I call it the law of numbers and time its never wrong, because if these an error the code will not work. So i think being gay or trans its a generic error that we will never understand. however they are human after all we need to accept them in our society

[@en1575]

The problem starts with calling our fellow Africans from other countries within the African continent "Foreigners " Foreigners are those who are not from African Continent .

Beautiful and informative episode

[@lethabo.mongalo]

1..We have been taught that a man is the leader of the family right? And he’s the one who’s suppose to provide for the family. So what if the woman is the bread winner or rather the provider? Does that change the whole concept of family leadership?

[@nyeletimaluleka5286]

Solid question.

[@viceroysouthafrica5476]

Hello Lethabo👋, great question! Growing up, we are introduced to gender roles (male and female) and what those roles mean in our household, traditional, and cultural context. Understanding gender roles, gives us the room to choose how we embody and express our gender in the confines of culture.

[@palesamogorosi8939]

@@viceroysouthafrica5476 you still haven't answered the question

[@siyabongabhongoza939]

A male is a born leader so even if he doesn't have money it doesn't change who he is, cause for example if a young person with parents get educated and becomes richer than their parents it won't change that hie/she's still their child forever

people from former Bantu stand love to say 'no one is from Soweto/JHB" that statement is laughable because according to them we all from the Bantu stands, as if the people who occupy those areas were there from the beginning of time. the Truth is, we all don't know where we from.

[@skabzemortal]

i'm sorry Mbuso trumps the whole panel. intelligence wise its not even close

[@matthewmokoena2123]

So much to say about this conversation. But 1. how do you "preserve" something that all the panelists agree is continuously changing/evolving? It means culture and traditions are time sensitive. Hence references to 1419, 1652 to argue for or against whites being African... But who were we "at the beginning?" Because if the definition of Africanness is where the "umbilical cord" fell then the white person has the right to be called African. 2. Heterosexuality vs homosexuality and culture or Africanness. I found it a bit hypocritical when he portrayed "sex" and "ubungoma" as a choice as a result of changing social constructs , i.e. whether to observe paternal or maternal side, if so, society can determine whether white people are African or not moss, as long as we "agree."

[@ntobekomtimkulu239]

I have to disagree with uBab' Khoza on the point of certain people not being African, because people struggle to comprehend just how old this planet is. Biologically speaking, it is widely accepted that the human race originated in what is now known as Africa and migrated all over the world before and during the earth's landmasses shifted and merged. These landmasses later formed the continents we know today. So technically even amaNgisi, namaNdiya, etc. are all descendants of Africa.
