In this episode of Voice 64—Tea Stall Talk, Mama Tereza, Gor, and Hon. Akot stir up the bitter brew of politics, prisons, and power in South Sudan. Why are citizens treated as guilty until proven innocent? Why do jokes about leaders land people in cells while corruption walks free?
Through sharp satire and raw truth, this conversation explores how dissent is silenced, justice is manipulated, and prisons overflow with the poor and powerless. From “Bluetooth arrests” to “goat courts,” the tea stall becomes a courtroom of the people—where laughter carries the weight of protest.
