In Episode 36 of Voice 64, Mathor asks a burning question: Who truly represents the people of South Sudan? From political elites to grassroots voices, this episode challenges the illusion of representation and explores what it means to speak for a nation silenced by power.
Episode Summary:In Episode 36: “Who Truly Gets to Speak for the People of South Sudan?”, Mathor takes listeners on a reflective and confrontational journey through South Sudan’s crisis of representation. From Juba’s air-conditioned boardrooms to the dusty villages left without schools or clean water, the question echoes: Who are our real spokespeople? Is it the politicians signing deals abroad? The generals in uniform? The activists in exile? The women selling tea in the market who feed the nation but are never invited to the table?
Through stories, soundscapes, and sharp commentary, this episode examines how power hijacks people’s voices—and what it would take for South Sudanese citizens, at home and in the diaspora, to reclaim their agency. It’s not just about speaking; it’s about being heard.
Key Themes:-
Representation vs. Misrepresentation: Who has the moral right and social legitimacy to speak for the nation?
-
